Chapter 200 Did He Not Find Me Filthy Too
Olivia had always known that Emily was up to no good, but she hadn’t anticipated the extent of the latter’s malicious
intentions.
Looking at the triumphant look on Emily’s face, she couldn’t help but recall the scene from five years ago when she was thrown out of Carter Manor.
At that time, she felt as if she had been stripped bare, subjected to accusations and insults… along with Nathan’s indifferent gaze.
It was as if he was accusing her of shamelessly climbing into his bed.
However, the reality was that circumstances left her no choice, and it wasn’t what she intended at all.
That evening, Emily intentionally misled the public by slandering her with the sole intention of ruining her reputation.
Olivia could almost picture how she would be perceived in high society in the future.
I will be accused of climbing the corporate ladder through sexual favors and being a flirtatious woman.
Thinking about these labels being forcibly attached to her, Olivia clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms, yet she was oblivious to the pain.
The reason was that her heart was aching immensely.
That current scene was really no different from what happened five years ago.
The disdainful glances from the crowd and the smug expressions on Emily’s and Emma’s faces were all etched into her memory, impossible to shake off.
Instinctively, she turned her head, unexpectedly meeting the deep, dark gaze of Nathan.
Anger was plainly visible in his eyes, alongside a whirlpool of emotions she couldn’t quite decipher.
Falling into a daze, she felt as if she was transported back to that rainy night. He towered over her, looking down with an icy gaze, as if he was observing a struggling, insignificant insect.
Five years had passed, a span of time that couldn’t be considered long or short. Yet, she still harbored resentment for those past events.
Reliving those memories caused her heart to squeeze tightly.
She clenched her fists once more, not allowing a hint of emotion to show on her face. Only her eyes betrayed a touch of disgust.
However, she felt an intense pain seemingly pierce her heart.
Meanwhile, Nathan clenched his fists, resisting the urge to rush forward and embrace her.
He shifted his gaze away, his thin lips slightly parting. His voice, devoid of any emotions, was heard saying, “So what if we dated in high school? I don’t see the need to bring it up now. It’s all in the past; there’s really nothing worth mentioning.”
Upon hearing these words, everyone was struck by a sudden realization and promptly cast disapproving glances toward Emily.
Isn’t it no more than a young girl experiencing her first love? Why did she make it sound like Olivia has done something terribly shameful?
Emily hadn’t expected her son to speak up for Oliva. She glowered in response, but due to the presence of guests, she dared not make a scene.
Surprisingly, Nathan didn’t show any regard for the guests. His piercing gaze was directed at his own mother as he said in an icy tone, “Mom, perhaps you should reconsider your way of reminiscing the past. You can easily offend someone else.”
“Nate, what are you talking about?” Emily asked, clearly displeased.

Nathan’s eyes narrowed, a piercing glint flashing across them. “Horizon Ventures is no third–rate company. We still need to rely on Ms. Monroe for the system of the new Carter Group project. I hope you’ll think before you speak.”
The reprimand left Emily humiliated.
This made her so furious that her face turned pale.
She couldn’t believe her beloved son had the audacity to defend Olivia in front of everyone. Does he even have any respect for me, his own mother, at all?
Outraged, Emma could no longer maintain her gentle demeanor, the scowl on her face evident to all..
All this while, Nathan has always been protecting that b*tch.
Upon hearing Nathan’s words, Olivia was taken aback.
She hadn’t considered the possibility of him standing up for her, or rather, she didn’t dare to.
Nevertheless, despite the gesture, she didn’t feel a shred of gratitude toward him.
Back then, didn’t ho consider me filthy? Did he not think I had schemed my way to his bed? Yet he’s pretending to be the good guy again!
