Chapter 305 Lost Her Trust

Only Alfred himself knew how weak his explanation sounded. It had no confidence and no real power to convince anyone.
After hearing him out, Mason fell silent too.
He didn’t even know what kind of expression he should make.
So Alfred took down the video because he was afraid Nella wouldn’t be able to handle it if she saw Marshal being abused?
Any normal person would have done the opposite. They would have spread that video everywhere and made the abuser face public shame.
Alfred’s thinking was so twisted that a normal person couldn’t understand his logic.
No wonder Zoey got the wrong idea.
Who would have thought that taking down the video had nothing to do with protecting the abuser?
Mason rubbed his forehead.
He had always known Alfred was bad at reading emotions.
Growing up in a top-tier wealthy family like the Keywoods, Alfred had always been surrounded by people who flattered him.
He never needed to learn how to read others or comfort them.
Mason never imagined that one day, Alfred would fall this hard in the one area where emotional awareness mattered the most-love.
Now Mason finally understood. It wasn’t that Alfred had low emotional intelligence. He had none at all.
Raw logic had taken over everything.
Alfred also knew he had done something stupid and unforgivable again.
When he saw the disbelief and confusion in Mason’s eyes, he forced a bitter smile.
“I did something stupid again, didn’t I?”
Mason gave him a look that clearly said, “At least you know.”

He stepped forward and patted Alfred on the shoulder. “Dude, I don’t even know what to say anymore. All I can do is wish you luck.”
Then, Mason left.
Zoey understood everything they had said.
The burning hope in her eyes went out in an instant.
Her face turned pale, and her body swayed as she stared at Alfred.
At that moment, Alfred slowly lifted his cold, empty eyes and looked at her.
“So when you went to the hospital to see her,” he said, “you actually told her about this?”
His voice grew colder with every word. Each one felt like ice smashing into Zoey’s face.
“Alfred… I…”
All the color drained from Zoey’s face. Under Alfred’s sharp gaze, her legs went weak.
Alfred didn’t say anything else. He only gave her one icy look before he walked away.
That look alone made Zoey’s heart race wildly. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t calm down.
When Alfred’s back finally disappeared from view, she collapsed onto the floor.
In her mind, there were only two words. I’m doomed.
Alfred got into the car.
He rubbed his aching head and stared at the WhatsApp message he had sent Nella a few hours earlier. There was still no reply.
Nella knew.
She knew that he had “helped” Eileen take down the video of Marshal being abused.
She knew that once again, he had chosen to “protect” Zoey and “give up” on her.
That was why she didn’t dare to leave Marshal with him anymore.
She didn’t dare trust him again.
So when he was hospitalized, she didn’t even come to see him.

She didn’t ask about him once. Again and again, he had been so sure he was right. Again and again, he had ruined everything.
Nella must hate him.
Alfred felt his head throb violently.
It was as if countless needles were stabbing into his temples at the same time.
