A Stormy Confrontation
Ace’s face grew pale. While he could tolerate Eugene’s remarks, Nathan’s words directed at him stirred
an overwhelming urge to deliver a stinging slap to his son’s face. “Nathan, keep your mouth shut!” he
reprimanded. Nathan looked at him and countered, “What’s wrong? I’m also thinking of the best
interests of the Baker Enterprise.” “It’s not your place to meddle in my affairs,” Ace retorted. Wearing a
cold smile, Nathan taunted, “Mr. Baker, you’re well acquainted with the golden rule of treating others as
you wish to be treated. Did you even bother to listen to a single word I said when you entrusted me with
all the planning?” Embarrassment filled Ace’s eyes as he glared at Nathan. Through clenched teeth, he
spat out, “You ungrateful child!” Lexie’s face flushed with anger and she couldn’t contain herself any
longer. “Nathan, you’ve crossed the line!” she exclaimed. Nathan cast a glance at Lexie and calmly
remarked, “I simply made a modest suggestion. If you find it unsuitable, you’re welcome to explore
other families willing to engage in a marriage alliance with you.” Although his words were composed,
they struck the core of her pride. It was as if she were an undesirable woman persistently seeking a
marriage alliance with him.
Lexie, who had initially wanted to preserve a good image before Eugene, now burned with fury. “Who
do you think you are, Nathan Baker? A marriage alliance with you is an act out of respect!” Nathan,
however, responded with indifference, “There’s no need for you to hold me in such high regard. I’m not
a good person.” Lexie felt as though she was hitting a wall. Her breath was stuck in her throat, and she
was unable to speak her mind. Lexie wasn’t the only one experiencing frustration. Finley, who held
himself in high regard, shared a similar sentiment. He had underestimated Eugene, unaware that the
true game had yet to unfold. Right from the start, he was caught off guard.
The signing of the contract had initially been treated as a secondary matter. It was merely an
agreement between both parties. They believed that attaching names would transform the marriage
into a mere business partnership. Thus, no specific names were mentioned. Nonetheless, both families
knew all too well that the marriage alliance referred to their respective children. While Finley felt a
sense of righteousness, Ace could only manage a forced smile. However, Eugene exploited this
loophole shamelessly and left him no means to retaliate. Finley turned his gaze directly toward Ace and
demanded, “Tell me, Ace—who exactly are we referring to in this marriage alliance?” Ace glanced at
Eugene and then turned his gaze toward Finley. After stammering for a moment, he mustered the
courage to speak. “Finley, even if I were to admit it’s my son, the fact remains that it’s not explicitly
stated in the contract. The law doesn’t recognize it either, so here’s the deal. If you wish to proceed
with this collaboration, feel free to do so. However, if you don’t, let’s consider this contract null and void,
and each party will assume their own responsibilities.” Finley was on the verge of exploding. The failure
to establish a marriage alliance with the Baker Family was not the issue, but rather the fact that, since
the other party wasn’t technically in violation of the contract now, there was no way they could ask for
compensation. “Nonsense! Ace, is this how your Baker Family conducts business?” Finley exclaimed,
seething with anger.
Uninterested in their argument, Eugene interjected, “And you mentioned that Nathan had insulted your
daughter. Was it at the cafe?” As he spoke, he pulled out his phone and presented it to everyone. The
footage appeared to be recorded by a customer and captured the conversation between Nathan and
Lexie. Lexie muttered, “You two aren’t engaged or married, so how did I ruin your relationship?”
“Haven’t your parents taught you any moral standards?” Nathan replied. “I’ve made it clear that I have
a girlfriend whom I genuinely care for. Yet, you persistently pester me, and that’s a serious lack of
morals. I initially tried to avoid any conflict due to our families’ relationship, but now I see it’s
unnecessary. There’s a complete lack of shame in your actions.” At that, Lexie stated, “Nathan, stop
right there. What do you mean? Do you realize the implications of what you’ve just said to me?” Nathan
growled, “That’s the problem, Lexie. You don’t understand me at all. No one can force me to
compromise on what I want. Even if you offered yourself to me, I wouldn’t even bother to give you a
second look.” “Are you out of your mind, Nathan?” Lexie shouted. Then, the tension escalated, and the
scene unfolded with her raising her hand to hit Nathan. However, Nathan promptly seized her wrist and
warned her in a cold tone, “I don’t resort to violence against women, but I’ll have you know that I
haven’t settled the score with you for last night. You better calm down! If you don’t, I’ll take legal action
against you for intentional harm and malicious intent.”
