Chapter 182

“Melanie, were you in the restroom? Did you see Katie?” Olivia asked.

Melanie nodded and said, “She looks really drunk.” Olivia responded with an affirmative hum as she

headed in the direction of the restroom. Meanwhile, Melanie curled her lips upward and showed a faint

smirk, raising the glass as she nudged Nathan with her elbow. “We haven’t toasted your uncle, have

we?”

Upon hearing that, Nathan quickly reacted by raising his glass, “Uncle, Melanie and I would like to

propose a toast to you. Since you’re now one of the studio’s shareholders, we wish you a good fortune

with endless money to make.” Nevertheless, Melanie nudged Nathan once more and said, “Oh, come

on. Can’t you think of something else better to say?”

“Well, those are practical wishes, aren’t they?” Nathan said with a smile.

Melanie raised her glass and looked at Eugene with an enchanting smile as if she was trying to cast a

spell on him, “President Nolan, may all your wishes come true as you succeed in what you’re doing.”

As she expected, she managed to entertain Eugene with her subtle use of words because her wish

was exactly what Eugene wanted. He then took a glimpse at Melanie and lowered his gaze, slowly

taking a sip of the wine in his glass.

Despite her exhilaration, Melanie looked emotionless on the outside, doubting she could easily have

Eugene under her spell. Nevertheless, she only wanted to make an impression on the man for now,

which required patience. Then, she quickly shifted her eyes to Brian and Marcus whom she toasted the

same way she did to Eugene. Although her response wasn’t met with the same amount of enthusiasm

as she had, she believed she could enter their social circle sooner or later as long as she stuck with

Nathan.

Soon, she quickly took a glimpse across all men who were sitting at the table, realizing that Nathan

was outclassed by either of them hands down. I used to think my life would change after being with

Nathan, but it seems that I can have more than what I have now. Nathan is a good man, but there is

someone else much better than he is. Since I could make Nathan fall for me, I could do the same to the

other men and work a little harder for it. If I could be with Eugene or Brian, I’d be standing on top of the

world. Even if I couldn’t get close to either of them, the big boss of Metrostar Entertainment is enough

to outclass Nathan. Anyway, I believe Nathan will have my back no matter what happens. So, I’ll just go

ahead and see who is willing to become my gold mine.

In the meantime, Kate was leaning on the basin top in a trance when Olivia found her. “What’re you

doing here, Katie? Why didn’t you go back out there?” Kate slowly turned around without saying a word

as she noticed Olivia’s presence. Then, she directly walked up to Olivia and hugged her tightly.

“Olivia…”

Instinctively, Olivia patted her back and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s just way too disgusting!” Kate took a deep breath and exclaimed.

“What? Who’s disgusting?” Olivia knitted her brows in confusion.

While she was no longer able to fight back her tears, Kate felt a lump in her throat. “Tell me. Is Nathan

really blind? Look who he has gotten as his girlfriend.”

“You mean Melanie?” Olivia asked as her face darkened.

In a wailing tone, Kate said, “She knows I have a crush on Nathan, yet I gave in to my anger and

blurted out things that I shouldn’t have. Then, she said Nathan is only interested in her and will not be

interested in someone with a short fuse like me. Also, she called me annoying, even telling me that

they made love three times every night until she begs him to stop. It all sounds so disgusting, Olivia. I

can’t take it.”

As her anger got the better of her, Olivia snarled, “This woman is such a shameless b*tch! I’m going to

talk some sense into Nathan and make sure he dumps her!”

Kate immediately seized Olivia by the hand and said, “No! Please don’t do that, Olivia. After all, she

didn’t do anything except provoking me, so I only have myself to blame for not being able to do

anything. Therefore, please don’t do anything rash for the sake of my pride!”

Frustrated, Olivia berated her, “You’re indeed useless. How could you still fall for it when you knew she

was trying to piss you off on purpose? She was just gloating, wasn’t she? And you just stood there and

listened to her in silence? Why didn’t you talk back or hit her? How could you let her walk away like

nothing ever happened?”
