The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Who On Earth Are You?

Editor: Henyee Translations

What was Nathaniel doing there? And how much had he heard?

The group instantly panicked. "Mr. Sloan, we—we were just..."

Nathaniel merely shot them a cold glance, and moments later, their phones began ringing one after another with calls from their families.

As they listened, the color drained from their faces. Evernight International had abruptly terminated all cooperation with their families. All because of a few careless remarks.

Hadn’t everyone always said Noelle was Nathaniel’s treasured love? Hadn’t they said he had never cared about Estelle at all?

Not far away, Noelle’s gaze landed on the swimming pool, and an idea suddenly flashed through her mind. She immediately summoned a waiter. "Please ask Miss Yara to join me here."

When the waiter relayed the message, Estelle raised an eyebrow. She knew exactly what Noelle was planning.

Fine. If Noelle wanted to play this kind of game, she’d let her experience what it felt like to suffer in silence.

Estelle strolled over to the poolside. "Is there anything you need?"

The sight of her calm, unbothered expression instantly irritated Noelle, who slowly extended her hand. "Dr. Lockwood, I truly want to apologize to you. If you’re still upset, then—"

Estelle suddenly grabbed her wrist. "Are you planning to push me into the pool again and then cry and tell everyone that I jumped in myself to frame you?" She leaned closer. "You’ve been using the same trick for seven years. You haven’t even improved it."

"You—"

Before Noelle could react, Estelle shoved her forward, making Noelle fall straight into the swimming pool. The surrounding guests gasped in shock.

What had just happened? How had Noelle ended up in the water?

Noelle surfaced, looking drenched and disheveled, her eyes immediately turning red. "Miss Yara, what are you doing? I only wanted to apologize. You could have said so if you didn’t want to accept my apology. Why would you push me into the water? Nathaniel? Help me! I can’t swim."

The guests exchanged uneasy glances. Although Noelle had crossed the line with Yara, wasn’t Yara’s behavior way over the top as well?

"Mr. Sloan..."

"Mr. Sloan, what are you..."

Nathaniel’s dark gaze slowly settled on Estelle. Silence prevailed for two seconds before he calmly looked away and told a bodyguard, "Get her out."

Noelle nearly choked on another mouthful of water, looking even more pitiful as she said, "Dr. Lockwood, I really don’t understand. I just said a few harsh words. That’s no reason to be targeting me like this. I’m not a strong woman, I..."

Estelle almost wanted to applaud her performance. She was indeed good at acting innocent. Even in the pool, she was able to play the victim flawlessly.

But then again, she wasn’t the only person who could act innocent there.

The sharpness in Estelle’s eyes disappeared as she pretended to be shocked. "Noelle, would you really go so far as to jump into the water just to frame me?"

The crowd that had been ready to accuse Estelle now froze.

Noelle bit her lip, looking really aggrieved as she said, "I’m the one who fell into the pool, yet you’re saying that I’m trying to frame you? What’s that about?"

Estelle frowned and put on a confused look. "You asked me to join you here because you said that you had something to tell me. The moment I arrived, you jumped into the pool. That was a calculated move, wasn’t it? What a shame there aren’t any security cameras here. I don’t even have any evidence to back up my words."

The entire area fell silent. Even Nathaniel looked up abruptly. Everyone was reminded of the story they had just heard from the gossiping guests.

In the past, Estelle, who had just been adopted by the Lockwoods, had fallen into a swimming pool during the cold winter time and she had insisted that Noelle had pushed her. Noelle had claimed that Estelle had jumped in herself to frame her.

The incident had basically been reenacted right before them.
