Eugene mentioned, “I’ve arranged for Shannon to be with Azalea.” At that, Olivia’s irritated mood seemed to have improved. “Did you see the online article?”
“Yeah, I did. I’m sorry, Olivia. The truth is not like what the media has reported online. I’ve already settled it and will hold them accountable for this. When I’m back, I’ll explain in greater detail.” Olivia answered, “Oh, come back when you’re done with your stuff. My senior wants to have a word with you.”
A guilty Eugene said, “Okay. I’ll be back in about an hour.” After hanging up, he and Shannon sent Azalea back to the hotel. Before they left, Eugene mentioned, “The doctor said that everything’s okay, so you’ll just need a few days of rest. If there’s anything you need, just let Shannon know.”
Azalea was apologetic as she replied, “I’m sorry, Eugene. The online article has given you such a mess to deal with. I don’t know how someone could have taken those photos either. I was so scared and felt so wronged, so-
“Yeah, I know. Don’t think too much anymore.” Then, she said again, “You should head back and explain the truth to your girlfriend. If that still doesn’t work, I can explain it on your behalf.”
Eugene felt that if Azalea were to explain the situation, it would only complicate things. So, he said, “You don’t have to. Do take care. Shannon, let’s go.”
At that, he left. Shannon nodded slightly at Azalea before rushing to catch up with Eugene. When they were inside the car, Shannon asked, “Where are we going, Mr. Nolan?”
Eugene hurriedly explained, “My girlfriend has seen the online article so she might have misunderstood the current situation. You’d have to help me explain it clearly to her.”
Shannon’s mouth opened as if in surprise because she momentarily felt that she didn’t know who Mr. Nolan was. He looked like he was getting into trouble, and she regarded it as laughable..
It was because she never expected that someone in Eugene’s position would have his weak moments. He must really love that girlfriend of his, huh?
No wonder Kyle said that Mr. Nolan behaved like he was at the mercy of Mrs. Nolan. So, what he said is true. Shannon was slightly curious to know which woman could turn Mr. Nolan into a docile man. Is she really more beautiful than Azalea?
Sure enough, heroes had always been unable to resist beauty, and Mr. Nolan was not an exception too. Shannon’s lips curved upward into a secret smile. When Eugene noticed her expression, he asked, “Why? You haven’t seen anyone being henpecked?”
Shannon, who had been suppressing her reaction all along, finally burst out laughing. “I never expected that you’d be henpecked, Mr. Nolan.”
“What’s so different about me? This is why I asked you to come back. It’s to avoid such misunderstandings like today’s matter. Azalea. is being kind to me, so I can’t ditch her. This is something that you’ll have to worry about in the future.”
“I got it, Mr. Nolan. Don’t worry.”
“Pass me the computer.” Shannon responded with a grunt and did as she was instructed from the back seat of the car.
Eugene brought the car to a stop and posted an official statement on Nolan Group’s website, which read, ‘The report where I have a new squeeze is false. The Nolan Group would not hesitate to launch legal proceedings on those who maliciously spread rumors.”
After that, he explained in great detail that Azalea was his friend’s sister whom he was helping to take care of while she was in Summer City to seek medical treatment for her injured leg. In actual fact, there were three people involved. Next came a barrage of comments. ‘What’s going on? Is it purely a rumor?’
‘That’s for sure. We can’t let rumors spread like wildfire.” ‘Whoa! What a chaotic life. Who knows what is true and what is false?’
There’s only one girlfriend, but the rest are all so-called sisters.” Eugene naturally was unaware that the netizens left such comments as he continued the drive to Muse Peninsula with Shannon.
The elevator then arrived on the 59th floor. He didn’t punch in the passcode but instantly knocked on the door. In a short while, Olivia, dressed in loungewear, opened the door and was shocked when she saw two people standing at the entrance.
