Curtis responded, “It’s the statement declaring that you are not related in any way with Miss Maxwell,” As soon as Eugene heard that, he was furious.. “Who arranged for that statement to be issued?” Curtis replied, “It was your father who issued that statement, but apparently it was Master Merlin’s idea.”
Meanwhile, Eugene narrowed his eyes furiously. Grandpa already knows Olivia and North’s identity, so how could he possibly issue such a statement?!Obviously, it must be because of Edward and Lara’s constant probes so Grandpa had to make this compromise to protect North and Olivia. They’re quite desperate to remove me from my position, huh? Evidently, they have a guilty conscience!
“Alright, noted. I’ll issue the statement myself!” Eugene agreed and then he hung up the phone. As for Olivia, she was by Eugene’s side, so she heard their conversation quite clearly.
She heard that it was Merlin who had issued the statement but after interacting with the elderly man all this while, she naturally knew Merlin’s personality and she understood that his actions were merely done in the company’s best interest.
“You should follow your grandfather’s way for the moment. Right now, they’re still trying to find a fault of yours but they haven’t succeeded, so you shouldn’t court trouble. As long as North’s fine, everything else doesn’t matter to me.”
Eugene lifted his hand to stroke her hair and he felt quite bad at that point. “You’re my girlfriend and no matter who queries this, this will be my answer regardless. Grandpa has other things to consider and he’s just worried about you and North’s safety. But things are already in such a state so even if I issue a statement denouncing our relationship, they won’t let us get away anyway.”
He spoke while reaching out to take Olivia’s hand into his. “Olivia, trust me. I won’t let you and North suffer any harm.”
Olivia nodded her head, but she really didn’t have the energy to discuss all this. Right now, her only concern was her child in the operation theater.
Eugene’s heart ached and he was very regretful too. It was all because he had too many concerns, and that had resulted in his wife and kid suffering right now.
He allowed Olivia to lean on him while he took out his cell phone to log on to the official website of Nolan Group. Subsequently, he deleted the statement issued about his relationship with Olivia. Next, he reissued another statement.
This is Eugene Nolan here. Olivia Maxwell is my girlfriend and she’s also the mother to my son. The person who purposely hired those beggars to spread lies, maliciously slandered and insulted my girlfriend is a person sick in the head; that person has also disregarded the law and ethics. I’ve informed the legal team of the Nolan Group to take legal action against those who spread rumors and cause trouble. I won’t let anyone who uses any method to cause trouble for my girlfriend get away with things easily!!!!
Shortly after the statement had been issued, there were comments below by the people on the Internet. “This is great. I don’t want to comment on the authenticity of this for now, but President Nolan’s dominance in standing up for his wife is awesome! I like it!”
“Did you notice the three exclamation marks. that President Nolan added to his sentence? He must be so angry!” “I’m in shock! So was Olivia actually involved with those beggars? Why did the claims on the trending topic sound so realistic?”
“That’s not possible! Do you think that President Nolan is stupid? If she was indeed a woman of poor character, would he have issued this statement personally to address the issue? He’s even sought legal action too!”
“Yeah. We should watch our words too. Let’s just keep silent and observe the situation.”
After Eugene’s statement, the people on the Internet were much more cautious with their comments, as they were afraid of being caught slandering and thus actually being prosecuted. Everyone maintained an interest in the situation but they all did nothing and merely observed what was going on.
Soon, Kate and Nathan got wind of things and they instantly called Olivia to check up on her. At that point, they found out that North was hospitalized.
Both of them made their way to the hospital in a rush. Kate was closer to the hospital, so she arrived first. As soon as she got there, she didn’t say anything but instantly took Olivia into her arms.
