Chapter 2839

Regina's eyes bulged in disbelief as she reiterated that this meal was definitely on her, but Nolan

only felt more disgusted.

“Are you playing some kind of good cop, bad cop with your dad? What's this innocent act for, huh?

How could he have the guts to make that kind of proposal without your acquiescence?

I really didn’t want to show up today, but after hearing about the nasty stunt your folks pulled, I just

had to come and get the story straight from you. Or maybe you've been playing me from the start

with some ulterior motives?”

Regina's smile completely vanished, and she felt pinned to the spot as if she were in the stocks in

the town square, humiliated for all to see.

She couldn't fathom what Nolan was getting at, but she understood it had something to do with

her family-and her only real family was her dad.

“Did my family do something that's upset you? don't know what they've done, but if that's the case,

can I just apologize now? Can we talk about this without the accusations?”

Nolan leaned in, his voice laced with frustration, “Who do you think you are to talk to me

like this?

Did you ever consider the damage your father's words could do to my family?”

Regina had never seen this side of Nolan, and her apologies stumbled out in a fluster.

“I'm sorry, I honestly don't know what's going on. I'm really sorry..." she murmured.

Sitting across from Nolan, Regina was a mix of defensiveness and panic. She had no clue what had

caused this sudden nosedive in his demeanor; he wasn't the type to lash out

without reason.

This made Regina even more certain that her father must have done something unforgivable behind

her back.

She took a deep breath, trying to regain her composure, “I may not know what happened, but I still

want to apologize on behalf of my family. If you could, would you tell me what exactly went down?

You know I've been in the hospital lately, and I'm not always aware of what's happening outside...”

Regina was trying her best to clear the air and hoping for Nolan's understanding. Their last phone

call had been so pleasant; she wished Nolan would remember those good times and not be so hard

on her.

But Nolan just scoffed, “You think you're so clever, don't you? Your little tag-team with your dad is

almost flawless. But don't forget, there are details I shared only with you, things your father

shouldn't know. How would he be aware of them without your consent? In the

end, this is all a game you and your father have concocted. Regina, oh Regina, I really didn't see this

coming. I thought we could be friends, but you've been playing me for a

fool.”

“I never thought that way; can't you at least give me a chance to figure out what happened before

you throw these accusations at me? How are you any different from my two “family members’ if you

act like this?”

Regina was so livid. She hated being slandered. Nolan knew it was her sore spot, yet he jabbed right

there, where it hurt the most.

"And how are you any different from those two women now? You've become what you once

despised. But Regina, I'm not like you. If you're so set on this path, then fine, I'll play along. I'm

curious to see if marrying into my family gets you whatever it is you're after.”
