You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 117 No Pushover

Nicholas froze as he stared at Alina in shock and disbelief.

Her words were like death by a thousand cuts, and he couldn’t bear the hurt any more than he could bear her disgust for him when she found out he had slept with Angie.

In fact, Alina had brutally put him in his place and called him a fool. She had told him that she was breaking up with him, not because of his unexpected one-night stand with Angie, but because he was a simpleton with no common sense of right and wrong.

A simpleton with no common sense of right and wrong? No. That’s not me. Nicholas shook his head as he said hurtfully, “Lina, how could you say that about me? I just…” I just felt so sorry for Angie, and I wanted to help her get through these tough times.

He couldn’t bring himself to say that. He couldn’t tell Alina that he felt bad for Angie; while he was being a good samaritan, Angie had been scheming against him. She had turned around and bitten him like a viper as soon as he left himself wide open. That in itself was a foolish mistake on his part.

Nicholas thought Alina was being unfair, but at the same time, he couldn’t quite find the words to argue and prove her wrong. The flush on his cheeks was gone, and he was looking more ashen-faced by the second.

“Lina, how could you say such things about Nicholas?” Erin’s heart twisted when she saw how broken Nicholas looked. “Nicholas is just too kind for his own good! He took pity on Angie and tried to help her. None of us could have expected her to take advantage of him like this! She’s an ingrate and a traitor!”

“Pity?” Alina repeated with a raise of her brow. “While you were all taking pity on Angie, did you ever stop to feel sorry for Madam Crystal? She nearly lost her life giving birth to Madeline, only for her long-time enemy to take the baby away and replace her with another. Imagine her anguish!”

stiffened. “We didn’t think Angie would turn out to be so evil. We really

evil, but have you ever thought that you and Nicholas’ kindness would only add insult to Crystal’s injury? Angie is Cameron’s daughter, and if Crystal sees Angie, she would inevitably think of Cameron; it would only be a stab to her heart. Angie has to be sent away so that Crystal will never have to see her again and get stressed out about it!”
