Chapter 358 Why Can’t You Like Me Back?
It was only now that Eugene stood up slowly and walked over. The cars drove away understandingly. Even though Aleena knew that Eugene was here, she kept her head down as she wept, having no intentions to raise her head. Of course, she was too embarrassed to do so.
Standing beside her, Eugene lowered his head to look at her. “If you were the one who picked on Olivia, you would have already been half-dead now.”
Though Aleena was crying, she instinctively stopped herself after she heard Eugene’s voice. Afterward, she paid attention to him and heard his words. What does he mean? So he already knows that I wasn’t the one who picked on Olivia? She immediately raised her head, showing her face that was in a mess right now, with tears and sweat all jumbled together.
Even though her entire body was sweating, at the current season, with the temperature of minus 20 degrees, the sweat quickly evaporated without her moving. What was left was just the chilliness. However, her heart was even colder. Looking at Eugene with a resentful and sad expression, she questioned, “You knew that I wasn’t the culprit, yet you still treated me this way?”
Eugene looked at her. “If you guys weren’t involved in the planning, Olivia wouldn’t have met with this accident. Even though you guys weren’t the actual mastermind, you were involved.”
Feeling sorry for herself, Aleena sobbed. “We weren’t involved at all. When Luca carried out the plan that day, we were completely unaware of it.”
“Didn’t the three of you plan this together? You guys only stopped after Luca had an accident, didn’t you?” Eugene looked at Aleena disappointingly. “We’ve known each other for so many years, yet I’ve never known that you had the guts to kill people. I’m willing to believe you this time around. If I wanted to confirm your crimes, both you and Robin can’t escape at all. Robin has already told me everything today—I even have a footage of him interacting closely with Luca. Of course, Robin is a coward by nature. Hence, apart from you, who’s had some skirmishes with Olivia, is there anyone else? If you guys weren’t plotting to hurt Olivia naively, you wouldn’t have been used by others. Do you know how many years you would have to be behind bars to hire a hitman?”
Aleena merely lowered her head as she sobbed, not looking at Eugene at all.
“Eugene… you clearly knew why I’m picking on Olivia—what grudges do we have? It’s all because of you. Since she’s arrived, you’ve never put anyone else in your eyes at all. I merely want her to disappear from your sight. Do you know for how many years I’ve loved you? Why can’t you love me back?”
With a cold expression on his face, Eugene retorted, “There are no rules in love. It’s the same—if I asked you to marry Ben, you wouldn’t marry him, would you? You can’t hurt others because you didn’t get what you want. I’ll let you go this time, but please don’t stay in this country anymore.”
Aleena raised her head and asked in shock, “You want to send me out of the country?”
Eugene replied, “It’ll do you no good to stay here.”
Aleena fought back fiercely. “I won’t go abroad!”
Looking at her, Eugene said, “Even if Olivia weren’t in the picture, I would never love you! If you don’t agree to that, I don’t mind speaking to your father about what you’ve done.” With that, he turned around to walk away.
Aleena called him frantically, “Eugene—”
Eugene cut her off without even stopping, “There’s a car outside to send you back.”
Looking at Eugene, who was getting further away from her, Aleena finally buried her head and sobbed sorrowfully. Since he believes me, why can’t he love me too?
When Eugene returned to Muse Peninsula, it was already 11.00PM. Then, he took a bath. When he was done with everything, it was almost midnight. Lying on the bed, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Since the accident wasn’t arranged by Aleena and Robin, he had to investigate it again, but he had no clues at all. The more he thought about that, the more he missed his girlfriend.
She must be sleeping at this hour. He took his phone out, wanting to call her. In fact, this would be their fifth call today.
