Chapter 297: 297. Markus revealing the darkside

"I was zoned out because.. because.." Nicole said and paused, trying hard to find some excuse.

"Because?" Victor asked again.

"Because I was worried about grandpa's decision! So I didn't hear you well." Nicole said, glad that she was able to come up with something.

"So?" Victor asked, seriously driving Nicole crazy.

"What's your damn problem Victor!! First you intimidated and backed me up against that wall. Then you were like an entirely different person. You said those things that I never believed would happen. Talked about turning my lie into reality and falling for you. And then you act like you don't know anything!! Why are you doing this to me???" Nicole exclaimed, truly irritated by Victor's teasing.

"Okay okay calm down." Victor said, surprised at Nicole's sudden outburst.

"How am I supposed to calm down this way?" Nicole questioned him back.
