Escaped My Ex, Got Snatched by His Rival - Chapter 491

Chapter 491: Reaping what they sowed
“What are you doing? This is –This is intentional harm!”

“Is it?” Nicolai tilted his head to one side. “Why though?” As he spoke, he stepped forward and shot another man. Every time he took a step, he would shoot someone. “Didn’t you say that the woman who accused Ariana was wearing clothes finer than Ariana, and thus she was the one in the right?”

“I am wearing clothes better than you all as well, and I,” he chuckled before jerking a finger towards himself before saying, “…I might not look like it but I was a straight A student as well. This means that I qualify for both the conditions as stated by you—does that not mean that I am in the right as well, Miss?”

Did these fuckers think that they would be fine after attacking his pallas?

Idiots, fucking idiots.

“Thats—that’s different,” another woman spoke with a light tremor in her voice.

“How is it different?” Nicolai asked as he turned to look in the direction of the woman who had just spoken. “You have no names, no evidence, and yet you made claims as if you knew everything. Compared to you, I am a bit better—at least I have the cause to do this. You, on the other hand, none.”

One of the men said, “Why do you care? Unless she is sleeping with you like many men and you are trying to act as her prince charming—AHHH!”

The sound of two gunshots echoed in the parking lot as Nicolai looked at the man with a stare so cold that it could have frozen hell.

He narrowed his eyes at the man who was now kneeling in front of him while clutching his bleeding leg. He softly chuckled, which made the people confused as they could not understand the reason for his laughter. There was nothing humorous about this situation.

“Sleep with me?” Nicolai echoed the words of the man in a dead tone. He offered a spine-chilling smile to the crowd before announcing, “I would drop dead if she was to grace me with such a favour. I have been pursuing like a dog chasing after a bone, and yet she has never shown any sign of acceptance.”

“And yet you say that woman is sleeping with me? When did that happen? In my dreams, a lot of times sure. But when did it take place in reality? I don’t think it did —because if it did, I would have framed it in my mind and soul.”

For the sake of Ari’s pride, he was willing to stomp on his pride. Crush it to bits and leave nothing but dust behind; he did not care if the world called him crazy or a lapdog. But no one was allowed to call Ariana any names.

No wonder Pallas asked him to keep everything a secret. Back then, he thought that she was asking for something blasphemous. After all, he was a muscle guy who preferred violence over silence.

Asking him to keep a secret was similar to handing him a ticking bomb and telling him that he could not throw it.

He had never liked anything complicated. He did not do anything complicated.

But now that he had seen the actions of these people, he understood why Ariana refused to accept their relationship out loud.

His words left everyone stunned, especiallyArabella,who was gobsmacked by his words.

“You–You are lying, I have seen you dropping her late at nights,” she exclaimed.

Hearing her words, Nicolai laughed as he fixed the nozzle of his gun. He raised his hand and aimed at Arabella, “I love people like you. Thanks to you, I get to use my guns, or else they would start catching rust.”

“Of course I drop her off, you fucking idiot,” Nicolai shot Arabella on the right thigh.

“AHHHH!” Arabella screamed in pain as she stumbled back on her heels. Her feet twisted, and she fell on the ground like an injured animal while Nicolai walked towards her like a predator.

“I am pursuing her; of course I would do everything to soften her attitude towards me.” Nicolai shot Arabella on the back of her palm, the same one that had pulled Ariana’s hair. “Maybe you do not know this, as you have always been the one chasing men, right?”

His words caused Arabella to turn even paler than she already was, she even forgot her pain momentarily.

Nicolai turned to look at the crowd before saying in a loud voice, “This woman who rallied you all against Ariana has been mistress to more than six men. Even now, when she is married to Mister Garner, she sleeps with men much younger than her husbands. In fact, she also stole Mister Garner from another woman. The ex-wife of Mister Garner was agitated to the point by this woman that she nearly lost her life due to a heart attack.”

“How can a woman like her have the right to point at someone else?”

At once murmurs erupted all over the parking lot, and the entire crowd looked at one another before turning to look at Arabella with suspicious gazes.

If it was true, then they were all used by Arabella as pawns.

Arabella tried to defend herself, “He is lying. I have never done such a thing. He is only saying these things to clean that woman’s reputation—”

No sooner did she finish speaking, another gunshot rang out, and this time around the bullet was embedded right in the shoulder of Arabella. It was so painful that Arabella could not even think straight. She had never suffered like this before, which made her eyes swell with tears.

“Say that again,” Nicolai said in a slow voice. “I didn’t quite catch what you were saying.”

“I—I did. You are right, I did all of those things.” Arabella gritted out.

More and more people panicked as they turned to look at Arabella. Did they support a woman who had been a mistress to suppress and hurt an innocent woman?

One of the women who was friends with Arabella questioned in a hurry, “Tell the truth, Bella. Did you really do it? Or are you lying because of this man?”
