Chapter 301: Chapter 297

Aaron’s gaze turned deep as he looked in the direction I pointed at. When he saw Clara, already slumped over the bar counter, his eyes instantly softened, filled with a mix of heartache and guilt.

He gave a gentle nod, preparing to go to Clara. I stopped him again, "Hold up, Aaron, do you recognize these two?"

I pointed at Ariel and Nick.

Aaron l glanced at the two of them, his eyebrows furrowing slightly as he said, "Uh huh, two bad apples."

At his words, both Nick and Ariel’s faces changed, while Nicole looked confused. She turned to Aaron, "What do you mean?"

Nick retook Nicole’s hand, pulling her aside, "Let’s talk privately."

Aaron l smirked coldly. "Drugging your own girlfriend just to break up with her, that’s a new low."

"What?!" Nicole’s face turned pale instantly, her eyes widened in shock, "What are you saying?"

Aaron gave her a glance, not saying anything more before heading off to Clara

Seeing as Aaron had already spilled the beans, there was no need to keep him any longer. Everyone’s expressions were quite amusing. especially Ariel’s, who looked terribly awkward and was speechless.

Nicole visibly wobbled, her lips quivering. The news was just too much to take in.

Damon squinted slightly, his eyes fixed on Nick. After all, Nick was his old friend, and he had just brought him into Coleman Co.’s head office.

For a man to do such a vile and sneaky thing. Damon must be feeling a mix of emotions.

"Ariel, did you know about this?" Nicole didn’t overlook Ariel and turned to her in disbelief

"I have no idea, I don’t know anything!" Ariel looked extremely nervous and even took a step back, hiding behind Damon, "Nicole, I swear I don’t know anything."

How could Nicole completely trust Ariel now, especially after what Aaron had said about both of them being bad apples?

Damon shifted slightly, clearly not too thrilled about Ariel hiding behind him.

He then glanced at me. How come it is him losing patience now?

Upon my gaze, Damon had no choice but to stand still, allowing Ariel to use him as a shield.

"How could you not know?" I asked calmly, "Nick wanted to break up, and you wanted to use Nicole’s scandal to lure others upstairs, right?"

Nicole’s expression wasn’t just shocked now, but a state of frenzy. She pointed at Ariel, panting heavily, "Is that true? Is that really true?"

"No, Nicole, she’s lying! We’re best friends, how could I do that to you?" Ariel quickly tried to explain, her eyes darting towards Damon.

Damon hadn’t gotten involved from the beginning, only because Nick was his good friend, he couldn’t help but care about this

"You two were using me?" Nicole was already under immense stress recently, and she was on the brink of breakdown, "Nick, how could you do this, I loved you so much..."

Nick’s face was extremely dark, but after everything had happened, he began to calm down, acting as if none of this was his business. As a bystander, even I felt a chill.

"No matter what you think, we’ve broken up." Nick’s words were like rubbing salt in Nicole’s wounds.

Without further explanation, he turned around and left

Like a madwoman, Nicole chased after him. Their figures gradually vanished from sight, and I didn’t follow. I just watched quietly.

"Damon, I really didn’t do this, I had no idea Nick would do such a thing. Isn’t he your good friend? Can you ask him why he treated Nicole like this?" Ariel acted innocent, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Uh huh, I’ll ask him." Damon’s voice was emotionless, his attitude more like a stranger’s.

I frowned at him, and he reluctantly shrugged, patting Ariel on the shoulder, "It’s their business, I know it’s got nothing to do with you." Upon hearing this, Ariel’s eyes lit up with joy, but she quickly suppressed it.

She wiped her eyes while saying in a wronged tone, "Nicole misunderstood me, and Nick didn’t explain clearly..."

"Its alright. But we shouldn’t stay here today, I’ll take you home first." Damon glanced at me, then said to Ariel.

"Is it because Eliana is here?" Ariel also glanced at me, her feigned awkwardness making me feel uncomfortable. She nodded briefly. "Uh huh, that, plus with what happened to Nicole, I’m just not in the mood. Damon, take me home."

"Alright" Damon agreed, and Ariel took his hand, heading towards the bar exit.

I watched their figures recede, feeling a bit upset, but quickly composed myself and left the bar swiftly

It was late at night when I drove back to my parents house . My mom and Hannah were already asleep. I yawned and prepared to rest

Just as I turned off the light, my phone rang, startling me

"Are you in bed?" Damon’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

"About to Have you taken Ariel home?" I replied, comfortably nestled in my blankets, half-closing my eyes.

Damon sighed, his voice flat, "Yeah, she’s home. Could you check next door? I think I forgot to lock the door"

I was a bit confused. How could an adult like him forget to lock the door when he left in the morning?

The housemaid next door had been sent back to Starlight Estates by Damon, leaving the house unattended. Although the security here was good, there were many valuables in the villa. If they got lost, it would be troublesome

I had no choice but to put my clothes back on and head next door to close the door

The wind outside was a bit chilly, so I wrapped myself up in my clothes and went next door Sure enough, even the front door was left wide open

"What a scatterbrain," I muttered under my breath, proceeding further in to close the living room door as well

The half-open living room door gave me the creeps. As I moved towards it, hoping to get it closed as quickly as possible, a hand suddenly shot out from the gap, gripping my wrist tightly.

I let out a terrified scream, feeling as if my soul was about to jump out of my body.

"Got scared that easily?" Damon’s figure appeared before me, asking with a smirk.

"Damon, are you trying to scare me to death?" I shouted, still in shock and anger.

Damon just snorted, pulling me straight into the living room. He switched on the light and then asked grumpily, "Why were you pushing me towards Ariel all night? What’s up with that?"

He lounged on the sofa, legs casually crossed, looking a bit pissed off, "Are you trying to make me unhappy on purpose?"

I felt helpless, his imagination was really running wild.
