There was no way Kara would ask Archie about it.
She said, "Why would Mr. Baxter want to meet someone like you? Hey, what's going on in the house? I see you have some luggage lying around. Are you packing up? Are you running away?"
Nolan calmly said, "I think the house is too small for me, so I want to move somewhere bigger."
Kara laughed right away and said, "Somewhere bigger, huh? Do you think that, since you're still with Megan, you can afford a huge villa like her?"
He shrugged. "Her house is too small for me as well. I don't like it."
She thought he was being pretentious by saying Megan's house was small. "Oh, Nolan… I'm starting to get used to how shameless you are. Did you learn how to say all these in prison? You might as well say you want to live on a hill. After all, it's big enough there, and the view is beautiful!"
When Nolan heard that, he nodded calmly and smiled at her. "How did you know I was going to do that?"
Kara was certain that he was being sarcastic and was infuriated. She said through gritted teeth, "Shut up, Nolan. Stop smiling at me!"
He sighed while looking at her. "I'm not angry at you because you're Audrey's cousin. However, don't forget that my patience is thin."
When he said that, his gaze looked cold.
Kara's heart skipped a beat when she noticed it. It felt as if she really had forgotten that Nolan wasn't a merciful person at all.
Hunter almost lost both of his legs. If she didn't beg for his mercy, he would've also lost an arm and a leg. Nolan did all of that by himself.
When Kara thought about it, she felt scared.
He looked back at her and sighed a little again. "I can go, Kara. However, I need to know something. Why do you hate me so much? You're not that dumb, but why are you making such a stupid mistake?"
As he spoke, he looked at her and shook his head once more. It was as if he was lamenting, and he was basically calling Kara an idiot.
She glared at him and said, "I just don't like you, Nolan, and I think you're a big liar! You're just good at hiding it. You might be able to trick Audrey, but you'll never get to me! Hmph, stop beating around the bush and tell me if you're going now!"
Nolan thought Kara was hopeless when he looked at her. He slowly stood up and sighed before saying, "I'll go. If there's nothing else, you should leave. It's getting late, and people might misunderstand us."
Hearing that he had agreed to it, she immediately became happy. Her devious plans were in motion.
However, when she heard him saying that people might misunderstand them, she became enraged again. It was as if she was humiliated by that statement!
