Chapter 279 Pride Comes With A Price
Lydia understood what Damien meant. She knew that Damien had often been targeted in the past
and that he rarely held any grudges against Oliver due to her.
In truth, she had always felt quite indebted to Damien, so she poured twice as much effort into
raising her
child.
However, things had gone too far, even involving innocent people. Damien wouldn’t tolerate it any
longer, which wasn’t bad as that behavior was fitting for the future heir of the Winters family.
Moreover, Lydia felt that she had failed in raising her son. As such, she decided to let Oliver face
the consequences of his actions, hoping it might serve as a real lesson to him. After all, minor
punishments had proven ineffective in changing Oliver’s behavior.
As stubborn as Oliver was, what Damien would do to him soon might stop him from causing any
significant trouble in the future.
That was indeed the right way to proceed.
Isabe couldn’t help but sigh after witnessing everything from the start and learning about the n
through the system.

Despite the saying that overindulgent mothers often raise spoiled children, it’s clear that Mdm. Lydia
was far from indulgent. Rather, she was strict. Yet, Oliver turned out to be such a sc*mbag. Could it
be that some people are born bad? Maybe he was born into the wrong family. It almost feels like
Damien should have been Mdm. Lydia’s son and Oliver Mrs. Willis! Mrs. Willis doesn’t treat Damien
well anyway. What a cliché scenario. I can’t believe I’m even entertaining such a ridiculous notion.
Isabe was amused by her own thoughts, though she wasn’t so bored that she’d dig into other’s
rtionships with the system the first time she met them.
Alexander didn’t give it much thought. Although Ava’s attitude toward Oliver was decent, it wasn’t
particrly warm. There were reasons for her not being nice to Damien. Even though it would invite
criticism, it was understandable.
“What’s going on? What exactly are they going to do?” The small group had already begun their
discussion.
“Should he retaliate orpromise?”
“Retaliation, of course! He shouldn’tpromise.”
In truth, Rnd and ine, who had returned together, weren’t aware of the specifics. Deborah and
Damien had arranged everything.
Just then, there was amotion in the hall again. Everyone turned their heads and saw Deborah
had already returned.
The Carneys immediately stepped forward, ready to exin the situation. However, Deborah said,
“I know what everyone wants to ask. I’ll show you the truth right now.”
As she spoke, Deborah approached the stage where the engagement ceremony was just held. She
approached the control panel and began to do something on her phone,
Oh, a livestream! That’s a good idea. Isabe smirked.

However, the bystanders were still somewhat bewildered, unsure of what Deborah was nning to
do.
Meanwhile, Ava and Ruby suddenly began to feel somewhat uneasy.
As for the paparazzi, who hadn’t left yet, they stubbornly began preparing for another round of
shooting.
The big screen initially disyed a photo of Deborah and Oliver.
Suddenly, the screen switched to a video call. Although no one could be seen in the video, the
surrounding scenery was unmistakably from the nearby area.

Immediately after, the voices of the two individuals could be heard.
Damien brought Oliver to the back garden before shouting angrily, “Why did you have to do that?”
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand at all.” Oliver wasn’t a fool either.
Damien retorted, “You can stop pretending. There’s no surveince around here and you know it.
I’m aware that you wouldn’t let me off, and indeed, I’ve fallen into your trap as you wished. What I
want to know is, why are you treating me this way? Has our rtionship deteriorated to the point
where you would use your fiancée’s innocence to set me up?”
Damien’s expression was one of pain and struggle. Had Oliver not wanted to see the look of defeat
on Damien’s face, he might have been a bit more cautious. However, he couldn’t help but want to
unt his sess in front of Damien, to bask in the joy of victory. He even fantasized about Damien
possibly begging him for mercy.
Oliver had been oppressed for many years, so when he had finally turned things around, he couldn’t
hold back anymore.
He quickly looked around to confirm no one was around before bursting intoughter. “Oh, Damien.
No matter how much Mom and those old folks praise your excellence, you still lost to me!”
The conversation echoed throughout the hall, and at that moment, everyone fell silent.
However, soon after, the crowd went wild.
“Holy smokes! That’s a huge gossip!”
“So, those two really did sleep together, but they were set up by Oliver.”
“Why on earth would Oliver willingly cuckold himself? He must be out of his mind.”
At that moment, Ava’s and Ruby’s expressions changed. They immediately rose to intervene, but
before they could even stand up, they were pushed back into their seats by four bodyguards.
“What are you doing? Release us!” Ava tried shouting, but her voice couldn’t carry far enough to
serve as a warning. All her screaming only made her look like a mad woman.
“Let me go! Ah, help!” Ruby appeared even more frantic.
In response, Lydia waved her hand, and the bodyguards covered those two’s mouths, preventing
others from hearing what they were saying.
Nicely done. Mdm. Lydia seems determined to expose her own son. Still, Oliver is hrious. It’s
clear that Damien

knows him well enough to set up such a trap. After all, viins tend to meet their downfall through
excessive talking. Pridees with a price, and Oliver will be paying it soon. Isabe smirked.
Alexander knew that was the best solution Damien could think of. After all, unless Oliver confessed
everything with his own mouth, no matter how much others used him, they would all be caught
in an endless cycle of bickering. Moreover, it would leave Dainien’s and Deborah’s reputations
forever tainted. However, should Damien use that method to clear their names, the results might
end up better than expected. At that moment, everything depended on Damien’s speech skills.
Naturally, Damien wouldn’t let the other two off the hook, either. Thus, he said, “I didn’t lose to you,
but to my mother and sister. How did you convince them to drug me? Did you threaten them or
promise them some sort of benefit?”
Oliver’sughter only grew louder. “Look at you, still making excuses for your mother and sister.
Since you’re doomed anyway, I’ll help you understand what happened. The whole scheme was
your mother’s idea. She didn’t want you to be the head of the Winters family, so she sought
my help to bring you down. After all, if your reputation was tarnished, there was no way the Winters
family would let you be their heir. They are your closest kin, yet they despise you and want to ruin
everything you have. How pathetic are you?”
Oliver, aware of Lydia’s fondness for Damien, preferred to provoke Damien by talking about the
latter’s mother. Little did he realize that in doing so, he inadvertently exposed his, Ruby’s, and Ava’s
unsavory
tactics.
At that point, the spectators in the hall were already in an uproar.
Ava and Ruby had forgotten to resist as they stared at the big screen in disbelief. Their heads were
buzzing because they truly hadn’t anticipated their scheme would be exposed in such a way. It was
as if everything they did had vanished into thin air in an instant.
When everyone in the hall turned their attention to the duo, thetter two finally knew panic.
