“Eugene!” After the taunt from Eugene, Edward growled, “How dare you talk to me like this?”
With sarcasm in his smile, Eugene sneered. “Can’t stand it, can you? You said that my mother sowed discord between us, but I am not blind; I can see the truth. Edward, I will ensure that you’ll reap what you sow for what you did to my mother.”
Edward frowned, trying to hold back his anger. “Even if I’ve hurt your mother, and you’ll have your revenge on me, what does it have to do with Lara? Why the rivalry with the Roberts Family?”
Eugene didn’t want to risk exposing his plan, so he sat back in the chair and regained his willfulness. “I said it was a business competition. I’m not stopping her from competing with the Nolan Group either!”
Shaking his head, Edward said, “I see that you’re determined to fight against me. I hope you won’t regret it.”
Upon hearing that, Eugene curled his lips into at sneer. “I could say the same to you, Edward Nolan. I will make sure that it is painful for you!” Edward nodded fiercely. ‘Okay, since that’s the case, don’t blame me for not treating you as a son then.”
Eugene retorted, “That’s fair. Then again, you’ve never treated me as your son all these years.” Edward was so angry that his blood pressure was soaring, and then he cursed fiercely.
“Ungrateful b*stard.” After that, he walked away. Finally, Eugene stared at the back of Edward as he left. The muscles on his body couldn’t seem to relax.
Every time Eugene spoke to Edward, he needed. a great deal of self-control to not hurt Edward. Especially when Edward defended Lara, Eugene wished that he could kill Edward straight away, finishing him off once and for all.
Suddenly, his hand was covered by a soft little hand, accompanied by a childish voice. “Please don’t be angry. He’s gone.”
Only then did Eugene remember that the child. had been in the room. He breathed a sigh of relief and instantly relaxed. “My son.”
Then, he bent over and hugged North. “Alright, I’m not angry anymore. Let’s go home. What do you want to eat tonight?” In response, North said, ‘Let’s have dinner with. Nate. Since he broke up with Godmother, no one is ensuring that he ate well anymore.”
Eugene replied, “Okay.”
Nathan was stunned to receive Eugene’s call. He was worried that his uncle would be lecturing him, so he nervously went to the restaurant where they had made an appointment.
The place was a private restaurant, and the decoration was exquisite. The people who came to eat here were usually the wealthy.
Eugene had reserved a private room on the second floor. As Nathan came up, he ran into Gwen, who was also dining there with her friends. She was surprised to see Nathan. “Nate, are you here to meet me?”
In response, Nathan said, “Ah, no. I’m here with my friends. Do continue.”
After he finished speaking, Nathan was about to leave. However, Gwen stopped him and asked, “Who are your friends? Why don’t we join tables?”
Facing the proposal, Nathan frowned, and he could only answer vaguely, “That’s not very convenient.” Gwen replied with a disappointed face, “That’s fine, then.”
As Nathan passed by a private room, he heard a familiar female voice from inside, causing his footsteps to stop instinctively. If I’m not wrong, this is Kate’s voice.
At the thought of that, Nathan could feel his heart palpitating in panic and throbbing. He hadn’t had this complicated feeling for years. At this moment, he was debating whether to happily meet her or to fearfully avoid her. Looking at Nathan standing still in surprise, Gwen asked, “What happened, Nate?”
Regaining his senses, Nathan answered vaguely, “It’s fine.” He was just about to leave when he heard Kate’s anxious voice in the private room. “President Cook, please conduct yourself.”
Upon hearing that, Nathan stopped as his face quickly fell. In fact, the private room door was shut, so he couldn’t hear properly, and he definitely didn’t know what was going on inside. As such, he stayed behind and stood at the door, trying to listen again.
