Chapter 52 Fiasco
Catherine glared at Arkhen but she didn't bother with him and turned to Mark.
"Brother, why?" Catherine looked at Mark with red eyes as she became slightly teary-eyed. "Nolan will take good care of Zoe, and she will also love him back after she spends time with him. Your daughter's happiness is important, I know. But so is my son's happiness."
"Umm, I think you should at least give Nolan a chance," Jax said with some hesitation. "Think of every perceptive. My son loves Zoe, so his heart is at the stack. Zoe doesn't love anyone right now but just doesn't want to marry Nolan. So, how about at least giving my son a chance?"
Isabella and Mark hesitated as they felt that Catherine and Jax made sense. Alas…
"Sigh…"
Everyone heard a rather deep but loud sigh and turned to Arkhen.
"So my words have no value, huh?" Arkhen said while shaking his head. He then looked at Catherine and Jax as an icy light passed through his eyes. "I'll be straightforward with you. Even if Nolan spends some days with Zoe and tries to impress her, it won't change anything."
"How can you be so sure of that?" Catherine angrily said.
"Because I said so," Arkhen said as his cold face became smiley. "Your son hates me and is jealous of me. On the other hand, Zoe and Evelyn are close to me because I care for them. Zoe!"
"Yes, brother?" Zoe looked at Arkhen.
"Go on some dates with Nolan but in the end, reject him, got it?" Arkhen said with a smile.
Zoe pouted while nodding. "I don't even want to date Nolan, but if you say so, I'll do that and then reject him."
Seeing what had just happened, everyone at the table was speechless while Evelyn started giggling and nodded. "Yep, that's how it will go."
"What is this, brother?" Catherine said as she looked at Mark with a livid expression.
Grace held back her chuckle while John was just speechless, but wouldn't oppose Arkhen. He can't afford to get on his bad side if he wanted to awaken and get superpowers.
Daniel wanted to speak something, but he felt like an ant right now as he was the weakest member here. Since his father and mother didn't say anything, he also couldn't speak his mind. Moreover, he felt that his mother and father were on Arkhen's side. 'Damn, what the hell is going on?'
Catherine and Jax didn't know that Arkhen had turned Mark into a superhuman. Daniel also didn't know about that.
John was sensible, so he knew not to spill this information if he wants to benefit. If he did that, he would get into Arkhen's bad side instead.
As for Grace? There was nothing much to say about her.
Isabella and Mark felt what Arkhen said was rude but seeing that the result wouldn't change and Zoe also wouldn't change her mind, they could only sigh. They knew their son's importance was massive to them right now. He had become a pillar of this family, with the few feats he had shown to both of them. Especially Isabella, who knew that Arkhen was AX.
"Aunt Cathrine, your son doesn't love Zoe truly. He is lusty and greedy. I won't expose him and what he does every day, so quietly retreat from this matter and never mention it again," Arkhen said as he looked at Catherine.
Isabella's, and Grace's eyes flared after hearing that. They knew that Arkhen had the means to get people's information from how he pulled out all the dark deeds of that minister.
"Arkhen, is that true?" Isabella said with a frown as her eyes turned cold.
"Are you going to believe his empty words?" Jax said as he creased his eyebrows. 'Lusty and greedy? That's true for everyone, humph. So he shouldn't spend time with other girls because he loves Zoe?'
This Jax was also a rotten piece of shit and Nolan inherited it from his father. But Catherine was not like that. She didn't know what Jax was doing behind his meek facade.
"My son is not like that!" Catherine shouted as she looked at Arkhen angrily. "He told me how much he loves Zoe and even cried. He also didn't have any girlfriends and is nothing like what you said! Nolan only has eyes for Zoe."
"Pfft… Hahahaha." Arkhen palmed his hand on the table a few times as he started laughing as if he had heard the funniest joke of the year.
Catherine couldn't bear this anymore and also felt that there was no more hope after looking at Mark's and Isabella's faces.
"Jax, we are leaving!" Catherine angrily said as she stood up. She looked at Mark before saying furiously, "I wanted to leave this mansion with happy news, but fine. Goodbye! We have already bought another mansion and will live there from now on."
Jax and Catherine left the mansion without packing their bags.
…
Nolan was sulking outside and saw his parents coming out.
"What happened?" Nolan asked with some hopes in his eyes. 'Please tell me that you bagged this for me. I want that bitch on my bed every day!'
"Jax, get the car," Catherine said with a dark face. She looked at Nolan and sighed. "Sorry, son. There's no more hope with Zoe. But don't worry, there are many better girls out there. You don't have to stay fixated on her."
Nolan turned around and his face became distorted with anger.
"That Arkhen ruined everything. How can he say that, and Zoe even agree?" Catherine was still livid over the fiasco displayed by Arkhen and Zoe. "Brother and Isabella also didn't say anything, damn!"
Taking a deep breath, Nolan adjusted his expression before speaking, "forget it, mom. I am a superhuman now and I will also find a superhuman wife from the academy. Fuck this Walton family. We don't have to keep any ties with them anymore."
Catherine felt her heart slightly shaking, but then she nodded and resolves. A minute later, Jax arrived with the car, and the family of three left.
