Chapter 271

When everyone was still confused by her actions, Kate returned with a bucket of water in her hands.

When she walked to them, she had already raised her bucket.

Olivia was the first to see that, and she smiled. Sure enough. I knew that Katie is not someone who can

be easily bullied.

She nudged George and North quietly. Then, the three of them took a few steps back quietly.

Just after they had stabilized themselves, they heard a splash of water. The bucket of water in Kate’s

hands were splashed on both Melanie and Nathan.

“Ahhh… Nate!” Melanie quickly hid herself in Nathan’s arms.

Meanwhile, he yelled loudly, “What the f*ck are you doing, Kate?”

However, Kate remained silent with a stony expression on her face as she threw the empty bucket

away. The red bucket fell to the ground with a loud thud and rolled away on the smooth tiles.

Everyone stood rooted to the ground when they saw this. They had expected for her to take something

out—perhaps some evidence to prove herself. But they had never thought that she would bring out a

bucket of water and pour it at Melanie.

Is she initiating a fight, or is she objecting to them?

Just when everyone was confused, Kate had already reached Melanie and pulled her by the collar.

After that, she slapped her cheeks twice quickly and fiercely.

Both of them had not returned to their senses after being splashed by her, yet Kate had already hit

Melanie. On top of that, she even spoke before Nathan flared up.

Looking at him, she announced in an arrogant and defiant tone as she pointed at Melanie, “Now this is

what I’ve actually done!”

Nathan quickly hugged Melanie, who looked aggrieved, into his arms. Then, he pointed at Kate angrily.

“Are you crazy, Kate?”

When Kate looked at him, her eyes were so cold that it was as if she was looking at a corpse.

“Nathan! From today onward, there’s nothing between us. We’ll go our separate paths starting from this

moment!”

With that, she walked back to the parlor.

“Where are you going? Come back here and apologize! Have you gone nuts?” With that, Nathan tried

to chase after her.

However, Melanie pulled him back thoughtfully. “Forget it! Nate, you guys are close friends!”

Even though she asked him to let this pass, she still wiped the water from Nathan’s face, looking pitiful.

“Are you alright?”

Furious, Nathan shook the water on his body angrily. Then, he told Olivia, “You saw that, right? She

has gone mad! What the hell is she thinking?”

Olivia looked at him and replied in a calm voice that didn’t reveal any emotions, “What the hell are you

thinking?”

Nathan frowned. “What’s wrong with me?”

Olivia looked at him sharply. “You’ve known Katie for seven years. Don’t you know her character? Do

you really think that she would do this behind your back? To your girlfriend, no less?”

Nathan felt guilty. “If it wasn’t her, could Mel have done this to herself?”

“That’s not impossible, is it, Miss Hopper?” Olivia looked at her with a cold smile on her face.

Melanie’s heart sank, but she quickly adjusted her attitude and showed a sad expression. “Olivia, I

didn’t do that! Why would I hit myself for nothing? This is outrageous! I know that you are good friends

with Katie, but you can’t accuse me like this!”

Nathan was brainwashed by Melanie again. “Olivia, I know that you are close with Katie, but you have

to be reasonable. You saw her attitude at the dinner table yourself. What was that? She said that she

was nauseated by us, and she deliberately distanced herself from us. When she was ordering the

dishes, she didn’t even ask us. She is obviously boycotting us. Even though I might have hurt her with

my words before, she should just deal with me if she’s unhappy with anything. Why did she take it out

on Mel instead?”
