Chapter 2 Letting Go

When Nolan heard that, he tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart.

"Okay," he replied faintly.

He struggled to get up because of the intense pain all over his body. Upon taking a few deep breaths, he finally managed to rise to his feet.

Even though he was still marked with wounds, he had mostly healed from his internal injuries.

"It has been three years! The tolerance test is finally over. I can use my family aces now!"

He clenched his fists tightly.

As the heir to Elwood's most prominent family, he had to undergo a series of demanding family trials, as dictated by the long-standing generational rules, before he could assume control of the family business!

Since he was a child, he had been learning all kinds of family aces. He excelled in various fighting techniques, mastered a wide range of weapons, understood medicine, and possessed exceptional driving skills.

For the past three years, Nolan had endured scorn and bullying from the Watkins family. Even after being kicked down the stairs just now, he didn't resist or fight back.

Adhering to the tolerance test rules, he refrained from using the family aces. Otherwise, these guards wouldn't pose any challenge to him at all.

After spending some time in the wind for a while, Nolan regained his composure. "So it's Honory Group? What a coincidence!" He sneered.

The Honory Group, a revered entity in Florisa, held a prestigious status among all families. The Watkins family's motive for marrying Naomi to Harvey was to establish a connection with the influential Honory Group through him.

The tables had turned. Harvey, who had been arrogant in front of him earlier due to his sister's managerial position in the Honory Group, was now nothing more than a joke in his eyes!

"Harvey Bates and the Watkins family, I will let you pay one day!"

After casting a final glance at the hotel, he turned around and left.

Upon returning to the Watkins family's residence, Nolan took a shower and changed into clean clothes. Then he began packing up, getting ready to leave.

Naomi walked in without a word. She didn't bring up what had happened earlier, nor did she ask about why he was packing his things.

"Come with me to Delia and Mr. Holland's engagement ceremony tomorrow night. Get yourself an outfit. If you don't have one, we can shop for one now."

Nolan continued packing up. "I'm not going."

Lindy Watkins, his mother-in-law, slammed the remote control and narrowed her eyes at him.

She sneered coldly. "Who do you think you are to refuse it? If Naomi had married Harvey, he would have easily resolved the issue with a simple phone call."

"What issue?" Upon hearing this, Nolan turned to Naomi. "Considering our three years together, I'm willing to help you one last time. Why didn't you tell me?"

He was no longer the same person he used to be. As the president of the Honory Group, there was no issue in Florisa that he couldn't resolve now.

Before Naomi could say anything, his sister-in-law put down her phone and said with disdain, "What's the use of telling you? She needs five million dollars to settle her cosmetics company's crisis. You wouldn't be able to make that much money even if you worked as a delivery guy for your entire life!"

Lindy pondered for a moment and then spoke in a feigned gentle tone. "Nolan, despite your financial situation, Naomi has never mistreated you all these years. If you are really a man, stop dragging her down anymore. Only by marrying Harvey can she live a happy life. You have to understand that sometimes love means letting go!"

A trace of mockery flickered in Nolan's eyes. He couldn't resist saying, "It's just five million. If I can provide the money, will you apologize?"

Lindy laughed, and it took her some time to stop.

She leaned against the couch with her legs crossed and sneered.

"I'm not looking down on you, Nolan. But if you have that much money, show us, then. I can even kneel before you, let alone apologize!"
