Chapter 191 Slander on the Internet
But of course, Eugene wouldn’t let her go. He instinctively grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. Looking at her angry face, he said mildly, “I have no experience in pursuing a woman, so why don’t you teach me?”
Olivia snorted. “No, I won’t!”
Eugene ten laughed a little wickedly and said, “Then maybe our relationship will need a break-in period before I can find my feet. If I don’t do well, please be nice and forgive me.”
Olivia glared at him. “Who wants to have a break-in period with you? Aren’t you a little too shameless?” Does he even understand English?
“Apart from you, I have no plans to pursue anyone else,” replied Eugene.
With that, he strode over and blocked Olivia’s path, causing her to almost collide with him.
Instinctively, she retreated a step and ended up with her back against the kitchen counter.
Just great. Now Eugene is in front of me, and the kitchen counter is behind me. I’m caught in the middle!
“Where are you running off to?”
Eugene lowered his head, his charming voice ringing in her ears. “You can’t run away from me!”
Olivia’s heart pounded furiously as if it was rebelling against her. “What are you trying to do? Why are you threatening me?”
“I’m not…”
As soon as Olivia breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly heard the second half of Eugene’s sentence. “Because I can’t bear to!”
The five words sounded extremely gentle. There was a sudden feeling that it was as if this man had broken some sort of seal. When it came to sweet-talking, he was literally a professional. I-I really can’t stand it anymore!
“T-Then, please let me pass!”
Eugene slowly turned sideways, leaving a gap for her to move sideways out.
Glaring at him, Olivia turned sideways and squeezed out from the gap. She kept worrying that this man would suddenly block her again. But he did let her go.
After getting out, Olivia turned and glanced toward the kitchen with lingering fear. He was still standing on the spot, staring at her with his hands in his pockets. His expression was very relaxed with a confident smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
In all honesty, he looked rather creepy.
Olivia didn’t want to go back to the kitchen anymore, as she had almost cleaned up everything anyway. Therefore, she called out to North, “Little guy, we’re going home.”
North warned Eugene with a glare. Daddy must have bullied Mommy again, or else why would Mommy’s face be so red?
Walking over to look at the mother-and-son duo, Eugene said, “You must be very tired today. Do rest early.”
With a vague answer, Olivia left.
Eugene looked at the closed door and suddenly smiled. His mind was filled with how he felt when she first approached him. He remembered his thumping heartbeat, the fragrance of her body, and her willful words— ‘No you may not!’
He laughed. I have to!
The next day.
Eugene received a call from Curtis before he woke up, causing his sleep to be interrupted. Annoyance thus rose in him and impatience colored his voice when he answered the call, “What’s up?”
Curtis’ voice was anxious on the phone.
“President Nolan, please go online and have a look. There is someone slandering Miss Maxwell.”
Hearing this, Eugene immediately hung up the phone and searched the Internet for topics about Olivia. As expected, a lot of posts popped up.
‘Olivia Maxwell Studio’s Grand Opening Surprises the City’
‘Olivia Maxwell Studio’s Products Sold Out in Half an Hour on Grand Opening Day’
‘Olivia Maxwell Studio’s Grand Opening and Gifts from Bigshots from All Walks of Life’
When Eugene saw these, he was puzzled. Isn’t this positive news?
Who is slandering her?
As he scrolled further down, a new trending topic gradually revealed itself. Its popularity had reached more than two million retweets.
‘Pregnant with a Beggar’s Seed and Was Driven Out of Summer City by Henry Maxwell, Olivia Maxwell Has Now Returned with Her Child’
‘Olivia Maxwell and the Beggar’s Child’
Eugene clicked on the link. The original poster wrote the story so sensationally as if he had been there to witness everything with his own eyes. There were even pictures to illustrate and verify the story.
