<b>Chapter </b><b>351 </b>
Caroline couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. She turned back to N with a questioning look, but N showed no reaction.
N simply said, “Let’s go. We’re going to bete for our reservation.”
With that, N took Caroline by the arm and headed toward the parking lot, offering no further exnation.
Reba bit her lip, unable to resist ncing at Damon.
When she saw his gaze fixed on N’s departing figure, she dug her nails into her palms. Jealousy bloomed like wild grass in her heart<b>, </b>intensifying her dislike for N.
She lowered her eyes, masking her emotions perfectly.
“Damon… Ms. Lovell is <i>good </i>friends with Ms. Jayston. Ms. Jayston doesn’t like me. Do you think she’ll speak poorly of me to Ms. Lovell? If Ms. Lovell starts to dislike me too…” she muttered.
Her hesitant tone caused Damon <b>to </b>frown.
“I’ve already agreed to invest in theirb. Whether she likes you or not, theirtest anti–cancer drug will still be avable to you,” Damon replied.
Reba’s gaze darkened due to Damon’s attempt to defend N, her weak smile betraying her emotions.
“I understand,” she said. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
Nathaniel, who disliked seeing Reba so submissive, spoke up coldly. “If N speaks poorly of you to Caroline, it just shows she’s not a good person.”
As soon as he said that, he felt the temperature drop. He looked up to see Damon’s dark, stormy eyes and
frowned.
“Damon, did I say something wrong?” Nathaniel asked,
Damon replied, “You have no right to judge her. Besides, I’m the one who wronged her<b>.</b>”
Nathaniel found thisughable. “What do you mean you wronged her? Don’t forget, she’s the one who got your brother thrown in jail. If you weren’t protecting her, given your father’s methods, do <i>you </i>think she’d still be alive?”
“This is between her and me. It’s not your ce to judge. Don’t let me hear you speak ill of her again,” Damon dered.
Realizing that Damon was genuinely angry<b>, </b>Nathaniel felt his anger re up. Was their friendship over the years worth less than N?
“And if I insist?” he demanded.
“Then we have nothing more to do <b>with </b><b>each </b>other.” With these cold words, Damon turned and walked
away.
His voice wasn’t loud, but Nathaniel knew he was serious.
“<b>Fine</b>, Damon. If you value some woman over our years of brotherhood, then I have nothing more <b>to </b>say!” <b>Nathaniel </b>eximed.
Seeing Nathaniel about <b>to </b>leave, Reba quickly stepped in front of him. “Nathaniel, don’t act rashly.”
Nathaniel snickered, his voiceced with anger. “Who’s acting rashly?”
Reba sighed and lowered her voice. “It’s not worth ruining your friendship over N. Do it for me, please. I <b>don’t </b>want my return to cause a rift between <b>you </b>two.”
“What does this have to do with you? This is all because of that woman!” Nathaniel huffed.
“But it’s because I returned and Damon and I got back together that he broke up with N. That’s why you two are fighting.<i>” </i>Reba reasoned.
Seeing the guilt and remorse in Reba’s eyes, Nathaniel felt both heartache and helplessness.
<i>“</i>Reba, you’re always thinking of others. You and Damon were meant to be together. Getting back together is <i>only </i>natural. You have nothing to feel guilty about,” he said.
