Chapter 437 When Have I Ever Lied to You?
Eugene glanced at Brian, then he sighed again. “Now, I have many worries to consider. I’m not as impulsive as I was when I was younger. After you and Mom left, I indeed tried to plot against Edward and Lara. I hired people to assassinate them and also tried to kill them with an overdose of sleeping pills.
However, every one of my attempts was foiled by them. The people I hired were incomparable to their bodyguards. Moreover, they didn’t even touch the dish I spiked with sleeping pills. After that, Grandpa even punished me greatly. He told me that they dared to let me remain by their side because they knew what sort of intentions I had in my heart.
Somebody has always been beside me, monitoring me, even until now. At that time, I realized that it was an extremely difficult task for me to exact my revenge. Since then, I have obediently played my role as the young master of the Nolan Family.
I studied hard—it didn’t matter whether it was useful or not. I studied everything. When they saw that I was becoming more dependable, they finally relaxed their guard on me. Now, I can go up against them. But, I don’t want to trouble Grandpa. How is he supposed to choose between his son and his grandson?”
Brian snorted with a disapproving expression. “You sure considered many things.”
Eugene’s expression darkened and he said solemnly, “Brian, you can hate Edward and Lara. But, Grandpa has always been protecting us. The Mccarthy Family took you in because Grandpa called them personally.
Also, if it wasn’t for Grandpa helping me secretly back then, Mom would have died. The fact that I can survive for so long and take over as the head of the house of the Nolan Family is all due to Grandpa’s influence. Otherwise, I would never achieve the success I have today!”
For a long while, Brian said nothing. He finally asked awkwardly after a long while, “Isaac mentioned that he was working for you. Did you arrange for the car accident to happen?”
Eugene replied, “Yes, he works for me, but I sent him to protect you guys from the shadows. After the car accident occurred, I didn’t realize that there was a conspiracy going on. Only later did I realize that things were a little strange. There’s a high possibility that he was somebody Lara had deliberately sent to me.
Her purpose was to drive a wedge between us. Don’t kill him yet. We need to question him carefully when we return. I’m sure we’ll be able to figure out the mastermind behind everything.”
Afterward, both of them slowly headed back. Coincidentally, they were just in time to see Olivia and North coming outside. Thus, Eugene happily went over to them. “Why did the two of you come out here?”
Olivia thought to herself, I can’t say I escaped outside because I was afraid of making a fool of myself in the kitchen, can I? Therefore, she glanced at North as she replied, “North said he wanted to come outside to explore the place.”
In response, North lifted his small head to look at Olivia. Fine, my darling Mommy. I’ll let this pass. I’ll take the blame for this!
When she saw that the little guy wasn’t about to expose her lies, she quickly continued, “This place is absolutely beautiful!”
Pointing at the highest peak of the corridor, Eugene said, “Why don’t I bring you there? The scenery from that point is even more beautiful.” After saying that, he directed his next words at Brian, “Brian, why don’t you go back for now?”
Brian was slightly taken aback. He knew that Eugene was intentionally creating a chance for him to have some alone time with his mother. Although he felt very uneasy, he didn’t say anything else as he left with a noncommittal grunt.
Watching Brian as he left, Olivia asked, “Have you cleared the air with Brian?”
Eugene replied, “Yeah.”
“Did he say anything? Was he understanding?”
He said, “I told him everything clearly. What else is there to not understand?”
She glanced at him coldly. “If I were Brian, I would be suspicious. Who knows if what you said was the truth?”
Pausing in his steps, he replied, “I had no reason to deceive him!”
She glared at him again. “So, you have a reason to deceive me?”
For a moment, he couldn’t think of any instances in which he had deceived her. Hence, he frowned. “When have I ever lied to you?”
Olivia glared at him sharply, and her voice was cool as she said, “It might be exaggerating to say that your mother is perfectly fine. But, isn’t she walking just fine?”
Then, Eugene seemed to have a sudden realization. Oh, it’s about this issue. Thus, he hurriedly smiled and explained, “I wasn’t really lying. My mother couldn’t walk properly until several years back.
Afterward, I met an unusual expert who agreed to cure my mother. However, no matter how hard I tried to search for him after that, I couldn’t find him again. So, I honestly wanted you to come and examine my mother to see if she is fully healed.”
