Chapter 390 Third Place
Eugene retorted, “Why would I be involved in such a small matter? My son is more than capable to sort you out.”
Brian was stumped when he heard that. “Your son? North—are you saying that he is the one who paralyzed my company’s server? Are you serious?”
Eugene cocked a brow at him, as if he couldn’t care less. Disbelief etched across Brian’s face. “Oh, my God! That little brat is awesome! Do you know that he had my technicians working the entire night?”
Eugene provoked him further. “Do you know why he was targeting you?”
Brian leaned against his seat while recalling and tracing North’s steps in the morning. Suddenly, something struck Brian, making him feel helpless.
“Is it because I mentioned that I want to pursue Olivia and be his daddy? Is that why he made me lose tens of millions?”
Eugene commented casually, as if it had nothing to do with him, “Do you think that my son is as easy going as I am?”
Brian scowled upon hearing that. “I’ll have to sort this out tomorrow with the little brat.”
Nevertheless, Eugene glanced while asking, “Do you have the courage to look for him? Even I wouldn’t dare to offend that little brat. Previously, he made my company lose 100 million! In his heart, his mommy always comes first. Whoever offends his mommy is his enemy and he doesn’t care if it’s family.”
After explaining, he regarded Brian with a seemingly defiant expression. “Currently, I am number two in his heart whereas you are merely the bad guy who’s trying to destroy the relationship between his daddy and mommy. Who else would he target if not you?”
Brian was at a loss for words when he heard that.
On the other hand, Eugene chuckled. “However, if you play by the rules and fulfill your part as a good uncle, you should be promoted to the third place in his heart.”
Brian glanced sideways. “This isn’t your way of trying to get me to give up on Olivia, is it?”
Eugene snorted before adding, “In that case, you should give it a go. If I hadn’t said something nice on your behalf today, just wait until the day that your server is repaired. If he decides that you can’t repair your server for good, you would fail without a doubt.”
At the mention of that, Brian was quite surprised as well. “Why is he so capable?”
Eugene was extremely pleased with that. “Of course! That’s because Olivia and I have strong and awesome genes!”
Brian was rendered speechless when he heard that.
In Edward Nolan’s house, Lara was washing the man’s feet when she asked, “Did you swing by the Nolan Residence to ask about the child? What did Old Man Nolan say?”
Edward answered truthfully, “Who could possibly figure the old man out? I hinted tentatively that Eugene and Olivia have recently been quite close. Hence, I asked about his thoughts if Eugene were to marry her. In the end, the old man merely guffawed while commenting that Eugene would never fall for Olivia. In fact, he claimed that Eugene is merely approaching her to treat his illness. I tried to ask him on different occasions, but he answered me in a similar manner.”
She scowled deeply when she heard that. “In that case, did you ask why he investigated that child?”
Edward pulled Lara, who was kneeling on the floor, up to the bed. After that, he took a cloth to wipe his feet. “Can we even talk about that? The old man has been secretly investigating all along. Besides, we are also investigating in the dark. If I were to ask him, wouldn’t the old man know that we have been spying on him as well?”
Lara snorted in response. “Do you truly believe that he is oblivious to that? Although that servant, Lily, did not confess, what have we learned from spying lately?
We have nothing! Old Man Nolan has most probably noticed that we’ve planted moles in the Nolan Residence. Furthermore, haven’t you noticed that he is spending more time in his study?
Even during his birthday party, he merely came downstairs for a while to cut his cake. He doesn’t even care about the presents that we gave him. On the other hand, he seemed extremely fond of the present from Olivia and that little b*stard.
I can’t deny that it was a thoughtful gift, but I feel like the old man is extending his affection to them on Eugene’s account. Bear in mind that he is already troublesome enough.
If the old man were to be fond of Olivia and that little b*stard, he would be spoiling Eugene further! One day, if Old Man Nolan were to allow Eugene to inherit his shares, just you wait—you and I would be Eugene’s first target!”
Edward retorted, “That’s impossible. No matter how Old Man Nolan is fond of them, how could the elders of the Nolan Family allow a woman with a child to enter the family? What sort of family do you think we are? Do you think that anyone can just marry in?
