Chapter 315 This Place Belongs to the Nolan Family
Melanie stared at Gianna resentfully with her brows knitted and snapped, “Hey, watch your words!
When have I ever been unfaithful? Why would I date Ben if I was eyeing another guy?!”
Gianna chuckled, “Ha! Isn’t Ben just your backup plan because the man you really wanted isn’t
interested in you?”
Her face reddened with fury, Melanie fumed, “Gianna Aubrey, stop spouting nonsense!” Ben, who
finally had a clearer idea of the situation, hauled Melanie over and glared at her. “Don’t tell me Landon
was the one who left you behind in the suburb” he confronted. Staring at Ben with her eyes brimming
with anxiety and distress, Melanie tried her best to explain, “Ben, don’t listen to them! I was the victim
of their plot! You’re the one I like!”
Ben’s eyes turned menacing in an instant. “I’m asking you again-was Landon the one who left you
behind in the suburb?”
Melanie nodded vigorously at him and emphasized, “Yes he was, but I have never been unfaithful to
him.” Yet, Gianna sniggered in response to her statement. “Oh, really? I have a voice recording with me
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand if you don’t mind embarrassing yourself, I can play it for everyone to hear!”
Ben was glaring at Melanie with a mixture of rage and humiliation because he had never thought that
the woman whom he was vehemently protecting was actually someone even Landon didn’t want. How
should he describe his feelings at the moment? He felt as though he had just been slapped by
someone and it left a burning sensation on his face. Frantically, Melanie tried to clarify, “Ben, I’ve never
dated Landon before and I swear it’s true! He likes another woman and he only took me to the suburb
because I had accidentally offended his girl! Please believe me!” As Melanie’s voice resounded in the
entire living room, Silas, who had been keeping mum all the while, finally spoke as he instructed the
bodyguards, “Haul her out.”
Ben frowned when he heard what Silas said. It seemed like the matter did not just concern whether
Melanie was being chased out of the place anymore as it had escalated into something that involved
the dignity of the Nolan Family and the Roberts Family. Drawing Melanie into his arms, Ben confronted,
“Silas, what do you mean by that?”
Silas cast him a fleeting stare before responding airly, “You will have to leave with her if I hear any more
complaints from you!”
Ben countered in a disbelieving tone, “Didn’t you see it was Landon who started the whole thing?” Silas
decided to ignore him. Just as he was about to walk away, he heard Lara’s voice. “What’s going on?
What’s this drama about?” “Aunt Lara-” Ben, who finally found his pillar of support, quickly walked over
to Lara and grumbled, “Aunt Lara, you have to do justice for us because Silas wants to chase my
girlfriend out!” A barely noticeable crease emerged on Lara’s forehead. After glancing at Melanie who
was seized by the bodyguard, she turned to face Ben and shot him a frustrated glare. It was only then
did she turn to face Silas. “Silas, what’s this all about?” Silas answered casually, “Nothing!”
Putting on the air of Madam Nolan, Lara remarked, “No matter what, we should treat all our guests
courteously. How could you chase one of our guests out?” Silas looked up at Lara and spoke in a level
but cocky tone, “I just find her to be an eyesore!” As soon as he said that, Lara took a breath in a barely
noticeable manner to keep herself calm. It was Ben who failed to control his temper. “Is that even a
proper excuse for you to chase anyone out? All of us are here to celebrate the old man’s birthday so
what makes you think you have the right to drive us out?” All of a sudden, Silas threw a flinty stare at
Ben which made him feel as though someone was pressing a knife threateningly close to his neck. “I
can do that because this place belongs to the Nolan Family!” As soon as he said that, both Ben and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLara were left stumped.
In the meantime, Landon was ecstatic deep down inside to see this. Serves them right for behaving so
cockily and assuming they’re one of the Nolans! Did Ben just ask Uncle Silas why he was chasing
Melanie out? Does Uncle Silas even need a reason to do anything he wants? Finding Melanie an
eyesore is more than enough reason for him to get her out of this place! Worrying that this trivial matter
might escalate into something big, Gianna explained to Lara with a smile, “Aunt Lara, let me tell you
what this is all about. Miss Hopper is Landon’s ex-girlfriend and during the time they were dating each
other, not only was she unfaithful, she even plotted against Landon’s friend and sabotaged her. So, she
was dumped by Landon a week ago. In my opinion, she must have lied to Mr. Roberts in order to be
here so that she could show off to Landon how good her life is now. That’s the reason why Silas
decided to get rid of her.”
