Olivia wrapped her arms around Eugene’s neck. “I missed you too.” During the five or six days he was away, she genuinely missed him. She even wondered if all these events would have happened if he had been here.
For Eugene, her words were like a catalyst for his emotions. In an instant, the restrained man was ignited. His large hand firmly held the back of her head as he leaned in, pressing his slightly cool lips against hers with a mixture of urgency, impulse, and uncontrollable desire.
Olivia hadn’t expected him to be so overwhelmed with desire. Her intention was to lean on him and have a proper conversation about the events of the past few days. Little did she know it would ignite an uncontrollable fire. She gently pushed him with her hands on his chest. “Eugene-”
However, Eugene was not having any of that. He skillfully held her hands with his large palm, lifting them above their heads, and pressed her forcefully against the door. Then, he sealed their lips together. His breathing became more rapid, and the situation quickly became out of control.
Before Olivia could react, Eugene had already picked her up from the floor and took a few strides to the bed. Compared to his roughness in lifting her, he placed her on the bed gently, creating a more comfortable position for him to indulge in his desires.
Seeing Eugene’s insatiable craving, Olivia had no choice but to speak up. “Wait, I need to talk to you.”
“Later.” Eugene’s breathing was heavy. How could he stop now? Olivia covered his lips with her hand. “No, it’s really urgent.” Eugene looked at her suspiciously, wondering whether this woman was tormenting him deliberately.
He pressed and rubbed his forehead against hers, then said fiercely, “You mischievous little devil. Tell me, what’s the matter?”
Olivia was speechless but couldn’t help but smile. “Who’s tormenting you? I have something important to discuss.” She glared at him and continued, “Don’t you think there were fewer people at dinner tonight?”
Eugene responded, “Mr. Gedding returned to the research base, while Jewel and Alex had a date. Who else wasn’t there?”
Olivia laughed. “Who told you they went on a date? I didn’t mention it because I saw you were tired. Jewel was taken away by the police. Do you have any friends here in Mastar?” Eugene was startled by the news, and his voice became serious. “What happened?”
Taking a deep breath, Olivia recounted everything that had happened over the past few days, including Alex finding Damian, Alex getting injured and poisoned, Jewel seeking revenge by going after Phantom, and Phantom dying in the hospital.
In the end, she added, “Since Jewel said she didn’t kill Phantom, it means she definitely didn’t. Now we just don’t know who killed Phantom and framed Jewel.”
After hearing Olivia’s words, Eugene’s lust vanished completely. He became completely calm and thoughtful as he rolled over to lie next to Olivia, lost in contemplation. He never expected so much to happen in just a few days of his absence..
“Where did Alex go?”
“He went to the hospital, hoping to find some clues.” Olivia sighed. “I’m wondering if those people are targeting us by going after Jewel first.”
Eugene looked at her skeptically. “Who are you referring to?”
Olivia explained, ‘Over these past few days, Albert has contacted me. I had a confrontation with his follower, and I’m wondering if they were trying to force me to comply.”
She briefly recounted the events of that day and then paused before continuing, “However, after Jewel was taken away, he called me and kept apologizing. It doesn’t quite make sense, but besides him, I can’t think of anyone else.”
