Chapter 330 We’ll Find a Time to Apologize
After watching the video, apart from disbelief, Eric and Kelly were utterly ashamed. When did their obedient, sensible daughter become such a horrible person, who spent 200 thousand buying off a waiter to drug someone?
Even worse, she had unashamedly promised the waiter that she would promote him to the position of butler once she married into the Nolan Family.
If they hadn’t heard her voice or seen her face, they wouldn’t have believed that the person in the video was their daughter!
Looking at Eugene, Eric asked, “But why was she drugged instead and was even taken advantage of?”
Eugene explained, “She planned to drug my grandfather’s doctor. Upon checking the surveillance footage, it turns out that both of them accidentally took the wrong wine glass, causing Aleena to drink the wine that was meant for Doctor Maxwell. Just now, someone hacked our network and played the video of Aleena and Ben when they were in the room. I immediately turned off the screen—”
Before Eugene could finish his sentence, Eric sprung up from the chair and widened his eyes in shock. “What did you say? Someone deliberately played the video of them when they were together in the room? Who was it?!”
The headline in tomorrow’s newspaper would definitely be about his shameless daughter doing disgraceful acts with Ben at Old Man Nolan’s party. If that truly happened, how could he live respectably in the future?
In contrast, Eugene remained calm and continued, “Yes. If you don’t believe me, you may ask whoever was present tonight. We were all in the living room when someone hacked the internet and connected the projector to the surveillance camera in Aleena and Ben’s room. Therefore, it was almost like a live video. When you arrived, I was in the midst of investigating the person who hacked the internet in the house. Unfortunately, that person is an expert so we failed to find him.”
Then, he deliberately paused before continuing, “But I have a rough idea. Would you like to know, Uncle Eric?”
Eric sat down again. “Sure, go on.”
Kelly was completely shattered by this incident now and she had no idea how she would handle the endless waves of gossip tomorrow.
After standing up to turn off the surveillance footage in the monitoring room, Eugene sat back down on his seat. “I think whoever benefits from playing the video is the culprit.”
Eric was still in a muddle. “Who would that be?”
Eugene replied, “What would you do now that this has happened?”
Eric took a deep breath and said, “What else can I do? Since things have taken such a turn, if I force you to marry my daughter, I would be bullying you. Actually, you’re the one that I favor the most from the beginning. I’ve even talked to your father about it. Plus, Aleena likes you too…”
Eugene was speechless. Marry his daughter?
No, thanks! He already had a wife and a son.
In order to show his seriousness, Eugene cleared his throat and said, “Uncle Eric, Aleena is just a friend to me and I’ve never seen her as anything more than that. If it isn’t for you and Aunt Kelly’s sake, and since Aleena is also a victim herself, I ought to give Doctor Maxwell an explanation. Regardless, Aleena shouldn’t scheme against others. If Doctor Maxwell was drugged, my grandfather’s treatment would be affected. I’m sure that you’ve heard of it too that it’s all because of Doctor Maxwell that my grandfather survived this time. She’s our family’s savior and even I need to be respectful toward her!”
Eugene’s words hit hard, especially toward Eric, who was upright and honest.
Eric even felt that those words were like an invisible palm slapping his face mercilessly, causing his face to burn at once.
In his whole life, he had never been so lost for words after being reproached.
It was only after a long time did he explain with a flushed face, “It’s all our fault for not disciplining Aleena due to our busy schedule, causing her to act willfully. We’ll find a time to apologize to Doctor Maxwell in person.”
