Chapter 2778 - 251: Cutting to the Chase
Abraham Redington’s ice-blue eyes turned sharp instantly: "I destroyed her trust?"
"... Yana, you are exaggerating. I just don’t want to see Molly getting too close to other men. She is my woman. My actions to remove inappropriate men around her have nothing to do with destroying any so-called trust. If it were other women appearing around me, she would not be happy, would she?"
Abraham Redington knew he might not have respected Molly, but he didn’t think his actions were excessive.
Perhaps he was a bit overbearing, but it was all for Molly’s good, not to mention Lincoln Harrison clearly had feelings for Molly.
"Ha... second brother, you’re oversimplifying things."
If Andrew Howard weren’t her brother, Yana really didn’t want to deal with this mess of a man.
"You think everything you do is merely protecting Molly, removing the opposite sex from her life? Wrong, what you’re doing is actually interfering in her life, making her live under heavy surveillance, constantly at risk of betrayal by those around her.
Let’s put it this way, if one day my boyfriend interfered in my life without my permission.
His status is unparalleled, and his abilities are exceptional, easily winning over my ordinary friends. Because of his identity, all my friends side with him, telling me he is a good and excellent man. They even spy on my every move to please him. Do you think such a man is still worth dating?"
"I... did not interfere in her life," Abraham Redington wanted to defend himself, "nor did I make her friends spy on her."
Yana: "But the facts are not as you say. Molly has known her classmates at H University for three years, always hiding her identity for equality. You never informed her but showcased your prominent status in front of her friends.
I understand, you did it so they would be better towards Molly, to declare your sovereignty, letting everyone know that Molly is yours. But you have to admit, this made some people want to curry favor with you.
The intimate photo you mentioned was also given to you by one of Molly’s classmates in private, right? Look, this is the consequence... No one would like this feeling of having no freedom, being watched and betrayed by friends.
The human heart is not able to withstand the temptation of trials... Yet you insist on testing those ordinary people who have yet to encounter societal temptations with your status.
Do not easily test human nature – such a lesson, second brother, you should be more aware of it than I am.
You are merely confused by what’s happening."
Yana’s words were simple, direct, and clear.
Though ruthless, they finally made Abraham Redington realize what he had done wrong.
Actually, what Molly Wellington hated was never Abraham Redington preventing her from contacting Lincoln Harrison.
If Abraham Redington had spoken to her properly, told her about his jealousy, and asked her to avoid contact with Lincoln Harrison, Molly Wellington would have immediately discontinued the group discussion without hesitation.
It wasn’t like she had to graduate now, and there were other discussion groups at the school. At most, it would be more troublesome but overcomeable.
But Abraham Redington, on one hand, appeared magnanimous, and on the other hand, appeared as Molly Wellington’s fiancé in front of those young university students without notifying her in advance.
The senior female student who originally advised Molly Wellington to be cautious of men suddenly became an admirer of Abraham Redington.
Not only did she stop thinking from Molly Wellington’s perspective as before, but she also kept forcing her and Abraham Redington together, telling Molly Wellington not to cheat and not to wrong Abraham Redington.
The senior male and female students who once took care of her like a freshman suddenly changed their demeanor.
Flattering, pandering, jealous, but in any case, everyone suddenly turned from her friends into supporters of Abraham Redington.
No one thought about her anymore, instead, everyone became Abraham Redington’s eyeliners.
This terror cannot be felt unless you are in the situation.
And this suffocating feeling was what Abraham Redington brought to Molly Wellington.
