A smirk appeared on Eugene’s face. ‘I would like to ask you about that as well. Why did you bail her out of the psychiatric department?” Lara asked in adamant denial, “Who said that I was the one who bailed her out? I don’t know her at all!”
The expression on his face turned solemn. “Fine, so this is not enough, huh? I’ll have you thoroughly convinced today!” Then, he glanced at Curtis again. “Bring Brian in as well!”
Curtis responded and directly went out of the conference room to look for a sleepy and incredibly relaxed Brian on the couch outside. Pacing to Brian, Curtis called him softly, “Young Master Brian, President Nolan wants you to go in now.”
Hearing that, Brian woke up instantly and ordered his men to bring Tres into the conference room. After hearing that, everyone turned their heads over, they had only seen this second young master when he was still young, and they had lost count of the years that they hadn’t seen Brian, but he had grown up to be such at dashing young man now. The most agitated person was Merlin and his hollowed eyes were fixed on Brian. Reaching out his hand, he uttered, “Brian…”
At first, Brian felt awkward toward the Nolan Family, but after Eugene told him the truth about what happened back then, he was a little grateful toward Merlin instead.
Thus, with all eyes on Brian, he paced over to Merlin, crouched down and greeted with a chuckle, “Grandpa.” A delightful Merlin answered, “It’s great that you’re back. Come here, let me take a look. You’re getting more handsome now, rascal!”
With a bright smile, Brian replied, “And you’re looking younger, Grandpa!” The smile on Merlin’s face couldn’t be any wider. “Let’s get you a seat.” While Curtis went to get a chair, Brian said, “That’s alright, Grandpa. I’m just here to drop someone.”
After that, he faced everyone in the room and explained, “Maybe everyone is unfamiliar with Tres. A member of The Quintets and the third oldest, he goes by the name Tres. All these years, they’ve been my enemy, and would always stick their noses into my businesses and my men. If they could win me in a fight, they would do it, but they will resort to stealing if they can’t. What I would like to say, though, is not only are they targeting me, they’re also targeting Dr. Maxwell. The last time, they sent fifteen men to rob her, but luckily, she managed to escape with the help of the bodyguards who. were watching her in secret and a friend. Before that, he hired someone to run over Olivia and the car overturned a few times. It was also with a stroke of luck that she didn’t die in the crash.”
He elaborated, “However, Dr. Maxwell had just returned to the country and shouldn’t have any feud with anyone. I thought that she was dragged into the situation by The Quintets because they have a problem with me and Eugene. Later, after interrogation, I found out that The Quintets have been working for Lara Roberts secretly the whole time, and everything they did to Dr. Maxwell was following her instructions.”
“That’s nonsense!” Lara cried out in anger. “You’re no longer a member of the Nolan Family, so stay out of our affairs!” Brian cast a glance at her and smirked indifferently. ‘Seeing that your life is almost over, I’ll let you off for a little longer.”
His words almost made her suffer a stroke from the anger and she tugged at Edward’s. arm. “Aren’t you going to say something? He was the one who chose Ellen Mccarthy without. hesitation at that time, and now, he’s running back to the Nolan Family to throw his weight. around. Who does he think he is?”
Hearing that, Edward turned to Brian and roared, “Shut up! Back then, I already told you that you’re not allowed to come back after stepping out of the doors. You have no right to stick your nose into our family affairs!” Shifting his eyes toward Edward, Brian probed breezily, “Who… are you?”
Edward was mad with fury as he pointed at him. and yelled, “Don’t you know who I am?” “Oh, you’re that jerk!” Brian answered. “I’m your father. Is this how you’re speaking with me?”
