Chapter 333 Unconditionally Doted On Her
Looking at Eric and Kelly, Lara said with suppressed anger, “Eric, Kelly, you’ve heard it too that Aleena went into Ben’s room on her own. If you’re accusing Ben of taking advantage of her, she asked for it anyway.”
Seeing that Kelly was agitated, Edward walked forward and embraced her. “Alright, alright. Don’t get angry. Aren’t there surveillance cameras? Eric and Kelly are also frustrated too.”
After that, he instructed the maid, “Find the footage where Aleena walked into the room.”
In a cold voice, Eric said, “It’s unnecessary. You know clearly what has happened and we do too. We’ll take this incident as our misfortune and won’t accuse you for taking advantage of Aleena. We won’t demand you to take any responsibility either. We’ll keep our daughter, thank you very much!”
After finishing his sentence, Eric turned and walked into the room. Then, he carried Aleena out with the blanket.
When they left, they only greeted Eugene and completely disregarded the rest.
After they were gone, Lara flew into rage. “Psycho! His foolish daughter is the one who went for wool and came home shorn. I’m being kind to help her but they’re blaming me instead!”
Still holding her, Edward gently comforted her, “There, there. You don’t need to be angry at someone who doesn’t know how to appreciate favors.”
Eugene didn’t want to watch this couple all lovey-dovey and turned to walk upstairs.
In his memory, Edward had never denied Lara anything and doted on her unconditionally and boundlessly.
Even when Lara targeted him or his grandfather, he would just turn a blind eye.
He wasn’t a son nor a father. He was just a husband; Lara’s husband.
Eugene couldn’t understand how a person could be so cold-blooded.
His grandfather always said that the men in the Nolan Family were henpecked and it truly showed in Edward!
Upstairs, Old Man Nolan wasn’t asleep. When Eugene came in, he was just about to send someone to find out how things were going after hearing bits and pieces of the conversation downstairs.
Hastily, he asked Eugene, “How is it now?”
Eugene rubbed his eyebrows, feeling worn out. “It’s settled. The Jones walked away acknowledging that they were unlucky.”
Old Man Nolan asked again, “Didn’t I hear that they were planning to unite with the Roberts through marriage?”
Eugene replied, “But the Jones disagreed.”
Old Man Nolan looked at Eugene. “I thought everyone at the party saw what happened. How are they going to explain the incident if Aleena doesn’t marry Ben?”
Eugene said, “I promised to deal with the media. Tomorrow, I’ll ask some staff to keep an eye on the trending topic. Give it a few days and the public will forget this incident.”
“Have you found the person who played the video?”
Looking down at his anxious grandfather, Eugene was amused. “Why are you staying up to ask so many questions? It’s none of your business anyway.”
Old Man Nolan glared at him. “You brat. I’m just afraid that they might suspect Olivia. Didn’t Aleena try to aim at her? It’s possible that Olivia hired someone to play the video to get back at Aleena.”
Laughing, Eugene said to Old Man Nolan, “Even if they suspected Olivia, it’s settled now. Otherwise, why did the Jones refuse to unite with the Roberts through marriage?”
Old Man Nolan widened his eyes in surprise. “You meddled in their dispute?”
Eugene refuted, “I just gave them good advice.”
Stroking his beard, Old Man Nolan laughed. “Good! If the Roberts and Jones united through marriage, their might would double. It’s great that you stopped it before it even happened.”
Eugene smiled too. “Grandpa, you should rest early and I’ll get going too. It’s been a tiring day.”
“Alright. Pass me North’s voice recorder,” said Old Man Nolan.
Eugene took the voice recorder from the bedside table and gave it to Old Man Nolan. “I didn’t expect that he would record jokes for you.”
Old Man Nolan seemed content. “You have a good son.”
Eugene smiled and replied, “You have a good great-grandson too!”
