Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 545: Past Compromises...

He kidnapped Neal, and if he hadn’t done something excessive to Neal, driving him to the brink, how could Neal possibly have killed him?

But even though he was pushed to the brink, Oliver was still Neal’s brother... Neal’s feelings must be very complicated.

"No, I didn’t kill him! He brought it upon himself! He’s not my brother, he’s a madman, a pervert!" Neal Galan spoke angrily, his hands clenched into fists.

As he spoke, his voice trembled uncontrollably.

In his brown eyes, there was an unmistakable mix of hatred, and... sadness.

Melody Parker felt deeply pained.

But she didn’t know how to speak up, how to soothe Neal Galan’s turbulent, murderous, yet helpless and painful emotions.

Neal Galan looked at Melody Parker and slowly began to speak, "Melody, did you know? He used to be my childhood playmate, my closest and most trusted brother."

Melody Parker remained silent.

She knew Neal Galan didn’t need her to respond.

What he needed was simply a good listener.

Neal Galan’s brown eyes were filled with complexity, as if reminiscing about past events.

He looked at Melody Parker and slowly began to recount his past with Oliver.

"My mother and Oliver’s mother were twin sisters... Oliver and I didn’t know about the grudges between our fathers. We were cousins, and very close ones... Later, we gradually learned some facts—that Oliver and I were actually half-brothers with the same father. After knowing all this, our relationship wasn’t affected but became even closer than before. But from that day on, everything changed..."

Melody Parker had never known that Neal Galan had such a heavy past.

Those familiar with Neal Galan envied him, thinking he was a dragon among men, a favored child of the heavens.

But she knew Neal Galan was not happy.

He possessed supreme power and status, had everything many people desired, yet he was always lonely, having emerged from pain.

She had suspected he might have experienced something, but never imagined the pain he went through would be so profound...

Neal Galan suddenly laughed.

A desolate laugh.

"Back then, I wanted to kill him, but my mother left a will! To honor my mother’s last wishes, I spared him and sent him away to the River City branch..."

Melody Parker suddenly thought of something.

She looked at Neal Galan and asked, "Because of me, you came to River City and reconnected with Oliver?"

Neal Galan didn’t answer her question, which was a silent acknowledgment.

He looked at Melody Parker and continued to recount how he was imprisoned by Oliver and how he killed Oliver.

"On my way to Whitehill, he drugged me and took me to Y Country where he imprisoned me. He wanted to keep me there, by his side forever..."

Neal Galan was filled with frost-like coldness and a spine-chilling murderous aura.

"I asked him to release me at the time, but he refused to let me go until my patience ran out."

"Half a month later, seeing no hope of escape, I developed the idea of killing him. I said I wanted to eat an apple and asked him to peel it in front of me. He brought a fruit knife... After he peeled the apple, I didn’t eat it... I seized the opportunity to grab the dagger in his hand and stabbed it hard into his abdomen... hoping to force him to hand over the antidote while he was injured."

"But he laughed as he pulled out the knife... telling me to stab it into his heart. At that time, I had no strength left, and he directly held the knife with my hand and stabbed himself in the heart..."

Hearing these revelations from Neal Galan, Melody Parker felt deeply pained.

She said, looking at Neal Galan with distress, "Neal, don’t say any more, it’s all in the past."

Yes, it’s all in the past.

Oliver died, it was his own choice to die.

He knew he wanted to be released too, because unrequited love is torture.

Seeing him dead, suddenly felt like an invisible giant hand squeezing his heart.

No matter how many grievances and hatred... he died, and everything dispersed with his death.

Neal Galan merely told these stories, and Melody Parker was already extremely uncomfortable.

If she had witnessed Neal Galan’s ordeal in person, Melody Parker would feel even more pained and heartbroken for the man before her...

Neal Galan was imprisoned by Oliver on his way to Whitehill.

When he awoke to discover all this, a fierce conflict occurred between him and Oliver.

Oliver was enraged by him and wanted to ignore everything...

He injured Oliver and threatened him, saying: If he dared to harm him, not only would he kill him, but he would kill his mother too. Furthermore, he would bury the whole Nash Residence along with them!

After that, Oliver dared not to entertain those thoughts towards him anymore.

But Oliver still refused to let him go.

He trapped him there, confined him in a three-story villa with just the two of them.

No matter what he said or did, he wouldn’t let him leave.

During the days he was trapped, Oliver would occasionally tell him some news about Melody Parker.

Through Oliver’s words, he learned that Melody Parker had healed her eyes and, after recognizing her father, returned to live in River City with Adrian Davies.

Every single day, Oliver told him that Melody Parker didn’t love him and urged him to forget Melody.

But he couldn’t forget.

He knew Melody didn’t love him, but he still loved her. She was his fate, and he was willing to do anything for her.

Even though Oliver said Melody had healed her eyes, not seeing it with his own eyes, how could he be at ease?

Moreover, living with Oliver, being stared at by him every day with those eyes, he was truly disgusted.

He was constantly thinking about how to leave.

But he had been drugged.

Having no other option, he ultimately agreed to Oliver’s request...

That day, weakened all over, Neal Galan was forced to bring up a request to Oliver, "Oliver, I can forget Melody and agree to stay here, but you must give me the antidote."

Oliver smiled, his face filled with happiness, "Alston, I’m really happy you’re able to think this way."

Neal Galan’s face was indifferent, "Where’s the antidote?"

"Alston, since you’re willing to stay here with me, what’s the point of having the antidote?" Oliver looked at Neal Galan with eyes full of infatuation and continued with infinite tenderness, "I’ll take good care of you. No matter what you want or need, I’ll make it happen."

Neal Galan looked at Oliver; he was already obsessed!

He spoke coldly, "What if I want to kill you?"

Oliver’s eyes instantly dimmed.

He looked at Neal Galan hurtfully, "Alston..."

Neal Galan looked at Oliver and suddenly interrupted him, saying, "I want to eat an apple now, peel one for me."

"Okay." Without any hesitation, Oliver immediately agreed.
