Queen Of Revenge And Glory (Victoria and Jackson) novel Chapter 384

Chapter 384

With reddened eyes, Lexi retorted angrily, “You still have the nerve to ask me that? I already know what happenent Midnight Blue last night. You’ve already slept with Angelica, haven’t you?”

Nathan froze for a second, then calmed down a little

“So this is why you’re ignoring me? Not because my family suffered a setback at Victoria’s hands, and you’re planning to ditch me?” he asked.

Lexi scoffed coldly. “Really? You don’t think sleeping with Angelica is a big deal?”

Nathan stared at her coldly, then suddenly let out a laugh. “It is. Of course, it’s a big deal.

After saying that, Nathan released his tight grip on Lexi’s wrist.

“Then what will it take for you to stop being angry? Do you want me to kill Victoria?” he asked.

Hearing Nathan casually suggest killing Angelica sent a chill down Lexi’s spine, but she forced herself to sit up, acting calm. “Nathan, you’re tainted. No matter what you try to do to make up for it, there’s no fixing this between us.”

“Tainted?‘ Nathan was stunned. ‘She really has the nerve to call me that?‘

Nathan gripped Lexi’s chin, his voice cold. “Lexi, know your place. With my status, even if I were with other women, you would still have to accept it.

“Ever since I announced our engagement, I haven’t touched another woman. You should be grateful.”

Lexi thought, ‘Grateful? I suppose so. For a man with power and status, not fooling around is already something to be grateful for.‘

If Lexi had actually loved Nathan, then maybe she should feel grateful.

But Lexi never had any feelings for Nathan.

Justin shoved her into Nathan’s bed to please Nathan. It was never what she wanted.

Nathan agreeing to the marriage alliance was something Lexi had not anticipated.

She had not agreed to the marriage for Justin’s sake, but to use Nathan to get rid of Timothy.

But Nathan never showed her any respect, and in the end, it was Victoria who dealt with Timothy.

There was no reason for her to keep up the act with Nathan any longer.

“No. If I didn’t like you, I could turn a blind eye. But precisely because I do, I can’t tolerate any stain. Forcing me to accept it is useless,” Lexi said.

Seeing Lexi’s unyielding stance, as if she would rather die than give in, Nathan asked again. “Are you using Angelica as an excuse to leave me because you think my family will meet its downfall at Victoria’s hands, or do you truly mind that I slept with Angelica?”

Lexi shot back, “Since you refuse to believe it’s about Angelica, then think of me as someone who strikes when you’re down, if that makes it easier for you.”

Nathan gripped her chin tightly and leaned in to kiss her, but Lexi fought back so hard that she bit his lip, making it bleed.

“But hey, if you’re willing to sell me all your Gale Entertainment shares dirt cheap right now, I might and at least keep the company from going under”

With that, Lexi stood up and walked out.

At the doorway, she turned back for a final warning. “Unless it’s about transferring shares to me, don’t ever call me again

After leaving Gale Entertainment, Lexi got into her car and slumped back in the seat, finally feeling like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

It was obvious Nathan was really starting to panic.

Justin was just as desperate.

As long as Victoria kept up the pressure, and once Brightstar Entertainment’s “Chasing the Dream” dropped and totally crushed Gale Entertainment’s “Rising to the Top“, Justin would have no choice but to sell her his shares at rock–bottom prices, just to save his own skin.

And then she could finally make good on her promise to Victoria
