Chapter 279 Pride Comes With A Price 

Lydia understood what Damien meant. She knew that Damien had often been targeted in the past and that he rarely held any grudges against Oliver due to her. 

In truth, she had always felt quite indebted to Damien, so she poured twice as much effort into raising her 

child. 

However, things had gone too far, even involving innocent people. Damien wouldn’t tolerate it any longer, which wasn’t bad as that behavior was fitting for the future heir of the Winters family. 

Moreover, Lydia felt that she had failed in raising her son. As such, she decided to let Oliver face the consequences of his actions, hoping it might serve as a real lesson to him. After all, minor punishments had proven ineffective in changing Oliver’s behavior. 

As stubborn as Oliver was, what Damien would do to him soon might stop him from causing any significant trouble in the future. 

That was indeed the right way to proceed. 

Isabella couldn’t help but sigh after witnessing everything from the start and learning about the plan through the system.

Despite the saying that overindulgent mothers often raise spoiled children, it’s clear that Mdm. Lydia was far from indulgent. Rather, she was strict. Yet, Oliver turned out to be such a sc*mbag. Could it be that some people are born bad? Maybe he was born into the wrong family. It almost feels like Damien should have been Mdm. Lydia’s son and Oliver Mrs. Willis! Mrs. Willis doesn’t treat Damien well anyway. What a cliché scenario. I can’t believe I’m even entertaining such a ridiculous notion. Isabella was amused by her own thoughts, though she wasn’t so bored that she’d dig into other’s relationships with the system the first time she met them. 

Alexander didn’t give it much thought. Although Ava’s attitude toward Oliver was decent, it wasn’t particularly warm. There were reasons for her not being nice to Damien. Even though it would invite criticism, it was understandable. 

“What’s going on? What exactly are they going to do?” The small group had already begun their discussion. 

“Should he retaliate or compromise?” 

“Retaliation, of course! He shouldn’t compromise.” 

In truth, Roland and Elaine, who had returned together, weren’t aware of the specifics. Deborah and Damien had arranged everything. 

Just then, there was a commotion in the hall again. Everyone turned their heads and saw Deborah had already returned. 

The Carneys immediately stepped forward, ready to explain the situation. However, Deborah said, “I know what everyone wants to ask. I’ll show you the truth right now.” 

As she spoke, Deborah approached the stage where the engagement ceremony was just held. She approached the control panel and began to do something on her phone, 

Oh, a livestream! That’s a good idea. Isabella smirked.

However, the bystanders were still somewhat bewildered, unsure of what Deborah was planning to do. 

Meanwhile, Ava and Ruby suddenly began to feel somewhat uneasy. 

As for the paparazzi, who hadn’t left yet, they stubbornly began preparing for another round of shooting. 

The big screen initially displayed a photo of Deborah and Oliver. 

Suddenly, the screen switched to a video call. Although no one could be seen in the video, the surrounding scenery was unmistakably from the nearby area. 

Immediately after, the voices of the two individuals could be heard. 

Damien brought Oliver to the back garden before shouting angrily, “Why did you have to do that?” 

“What are you talking about? I don’t understand at all.” Oliver wasn’t a fool either. 

Damien retorted, “You can stop pretending. There’s no surveillance around here and you know it. I’m aware that you wouldn’t let me off, and indeed, I’ve fallen into your trap as you wished. What I want to know is, why are you treating me this way? Has our relationship deteriorated to the point where you would use your fiancée’s innocence to set me up?” 

Damien’s expression was one of pain and struggle. Had Oliver not wanted to see the look of defeat on Damien’s face, he might have been a bit more cautious. However, he couldn’t help but want to flaunt his success in front of Damien, to bask in the joy of victory. He even fantasized about Damien possibly begging him for mercy. 

Oliver had been oppressed for many years, so when he had finally turned things around, he couldn’t hold back anymore. 

He quickly looked around to confirm no one was around before bursting into laughter. “Oh, Damien. No matter how much Mom and those old folks praise your excellence, you still lost to me!” 

The conversation echoed throughout the hall, and at that moment, everyone fell silent. 

However, soon after, the crowd went wild. 

“Holy smokes! That’s a huge gossip!” 

“So, those two really did sleep together, but they were set up by Oliver.” 

“Why on earth would Oliver willingly cuckold himself? He must be out of his mind.” 

At that moment, Ava’s and Ruby’s expressions changed. They immediately rose to intervene, but before they could even stand up, they were pushed back into their seats by four bodyguards. 

“What are you doing? Release us!” Ava tried shouting, but her voice couldn’t carry far enough to serve as a warning. All her screaming only made her look like a mad woman. 

“Let me go! Ah, help!” Ruby appeared even more frantic. 

In response, Lydia waved her hand, and the bodyguards covered those two’s mouths, preventing others from hearing what they were saying.
