Chapter 13
Those words exploded like a thunderclap in Nathan’s ears.
Nathan guiltily looked away, unable to meet Olivia’s eyes any longer
“Olivia, calm down, it’s not what you think…”
Nathan was completely shocked that Olivia knew to much!
He had assumed she only suspected his affair and had hired a private investigator to look into it.
Then the investigator had captured videos and photos of him and Claire being intimate, and upon seeing them, Olivia was heartbroken and chose to leave.
Before coming to Alaska, Nathan had already prepared his excuse: [Olivia, you have to believe me, I’m innocent]
(This is all Claire’s fault. She drugged me.]
[I was under the influence of those drugs, and when I wasn’t fully conscious, I mistook her for you, which is why I slept with her.)
[Afterward, she kept using this incident to blackmail me, forcing me to continue sleeping with her, or else she’d bring this matter to your attention)
[I had no choice but to go along with it because I couldn’t lose you. You’re my life–if I lost you, I’d completely lose my mind!]
His plan was to pacify her with this story, then get down on his knees to apologize and swear never to do it again.
With this combination of tactics, he was certain Olivia would soften by 70-80%. Then he would press his advantage, kneeling while sobbing. [As compensation, I’m willing to transfer all my assets to you.]
[Olivia, if I ever cheat again, you can throw me out on the street with nothing but the clothes on my back‘]
Nathan believed that after going through this routine, Olivia would definitely 100% forgive him.
As for the assets, it didn’t matter if they were all transferred to Olivia.
After all, Olivia had no uterus and couldn’t have children.
As long as Olivia forgave him and agreed to remarry him, wouldn’t all those assets eventually be inherited by Michael and Anna?
So whether or not he transferred assets to Olivia, the end result would be the same.
It was just a tactic to win her back.
“Olivia, you have to believe me, I love you!”
Since he hadn’t anticipated that Olivia knew so much, the excuses Nathan had prepared in advance were now useless.
He could only improvise on the spot, making his speech somewhat incoherent: “Claire and I… actually, this is all Claire’s fault. She drugged me! I was under the drug influence when I slept with her!”
“Then Claire got pregnant. I didn’t want her to have the baby, but right at that time, Claire’s father was diagnosed with brain cancer and was on his deathbed.”
“The old man’s only dying wish was to hold his grandchild. If I had forced Claire to get an abortion at that point, it would have been like pushing my
mentor toward his death!”
“Olivia, you understand me, right? I just couldn’t do something that heartless, so I had to agree to let Claire have the baby.”
