Eugene looked at the four children before him dubiously, and he felt as if he were looking at four wolf cubs. All of a sudden, he felt a throb in his temples at the thought of explaining the current situation.
He pushed the four children toward the school gates. “Okay now, stop involving yourself in the adult’s business and go to school!”
However, North refused to budge and looked at Azalea. “The company doesn’t just belong to my daddy. If you want to join the Nolan Group, go through the proper procedures and stop giving my dad a hard time. When my mommy went to sign up for a job at Daddy’s company, she got chased out by him too. You can give it a go if you’re so confident.”
At that, he sent Eugene a warning glance. Eugene returned his look with an awkward expression. Wasn’t that because he thought that Olivia was a thief? Now, North was clearly reminding him that since he didn’t let Olivia in back then, if he dared to agree to hire Azalea at his company, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Putting Olivia aside, he couldn’t even afford to offend the four children before him, so letting Azalea join the Nolan Group was completely out of the question. “Who are they?”
Azalea looked at the three children before her in shock. Didn’t Eugene only have one child? Who did these three belong to? Clearing his throat, Eugene began to explain, “They’re my…
However, before he could finish, the children cut him off. “Eugene’s girlfriend is our godmother!” The corners of Azalea’s lips uncontrollably twitched. “Olivia is your godmother?”
Meanwhile, Eugene inwardly let out a sigh, relieved that they disliked him and didn’t introduce themselves as his children. He had to talk to them about this matter one day so that lesser people would find out.
He looked at the children and urged, “All right, hurry up and head inside before you’re late.” North glanced at him and said, “I want to go home.” Eugene frowned and asked, “For what?”
North sent him a vicious glare. “To change the locks!” Before he turned to leave, Carter hurriedly piped up. “Hold on, North.” Then, he caught up to him in a few steps, “We’ll come with you.”
Soon after, Blake and Terry walked over to them as well, and the four children left just like that. Naturally, Eugene was still worried about them, and he hurriedly said to Azalea, “You should go back. I’ll make the arrangements in the next two days.” Then, he left, going after the children.
Even so, he ended up being too late as North immediately left in the car with Carter and the other children. When Eugene called him, he didn’t pick up either, leaving Eugene with no choice but to follow them and see what they were up to.
From the school, he followed them all the way to Muse Peninsula until he arrived home. Then, he got out of the car as well and headed up to the 59th floor with them.
However, when he arrived, the door that would usually open for him after keying in the password refused to budge. Eugene’s face darkened at the sight-clearly, they had changed the passcode.
He knocked on the door. “Open the door, North.” North and the other three children stared at the video intercom wordlessly, having no intention of letting him in.
With a frown, Eugene knocked on the door again. “Open up and let’s talk this through, or I’ll have no choice but to call your mommy.”
Hearing that, the four children exchanged glances. Although they didn’t think that they were in the wrong, they didn’t wish to worry Olivia. Hence, North finally decided to open the door with an icy expression. “What do you want to say?”
Eugene walked in and looked at the children. “Come over and take a seat.” North closed the door and sat across him in a row with the Rogers siblings, staring at him. Each of their faces was icy, and none of them seemed up for a conversation.
