“Your stepmom has a point,” Edward argued. “They can be completely forced into this by you.” “Fine, I’ll make you give up completely today, then!” Eugene answered. ‘Bring Isaac Black in!”
A startled Edward remembered that Isaac was the man they sent to sow discord between Brian and Eugene, but there was no news from Isaac afterward. He thought that Eugene had gotten rid of him, but he was still alive until this day!
Isaac had been staying at Brian’s place the whole time with no injuries on him, and Brian had promised to keep him alive as long as he agreed to cooperate with Eugene’s plan for today.
After entering the room, Brian smiled at everyone before greeting Lara, “Hi, Miss Lara!” As it had become a habit for her to deny everything, Lara blurted subconsciously, “Who are you?”
“I’m Isaac,” he answered with a smile. “Did you forget that you’re the one who brought me back. from Mastar?” “That’s rubbish. I don’t know you at all,” she said. Eugene’s eyes drifted to Edward. “You don’t know him as well?”
It was impossible for Edward to deny that he knew Brian, so after contemplation, he answered, “I know him. Isn’t he the guy who killed your mother in a car accident back then?”
Eugene nodded. “I didn’t expect that you still remember him. Then, do you know who instigated him to do so?” A baffled Edward muttered, “Didn’t he accidentally knock her down because of drunk driving?”
A cold smile spread across Eugene’s face. “I’ll let him tell you the story himself!” Immediately, Isaac realized what he had to do and shared, “More than a decade ago, I applied for the bodyguard position in the Nolan Family, but I’m not charismatic and didn’t buy over the person-in-charge, so I was eliminated. President Nolan saw that I’m quite capable and hired me to protect Young Master Brian and his mother. Indeed, those days were very relaxed, and soon after, I had a girlfriend.
Still, the salary I received was not enough to make ends meet, and right at that time, Lara Roberts contacted me and gave me 200,000 upfront. My salary back then was only 2,000, and this figure was equivalent to my entire life of work. Unable to resist the temptation, I became her henchman, and the first thing she wanted me to do was to find an opportunity to kill President Nolan’s mother-”
Before he could finish, Lara shouted in fury, “Are all of you just going to let Eugene bring any kind of Tom, Dick and Harry to set me up? I don’t know any of these people, and that’s all poppycock he’s saying!”
In response to that, Eugene cast a look at Curtis, who immediately led two bodyguards forward. The bodyguard apologized and wanted to grab hold of her. “Pardon me, Madam!” A panic-stricken Lara staggered backward. “What are you going to do? Are you just going to watch, Edward?”
Getting up on his feet, Edward was about to help out when he was held back by other bodyguards. “What are you doing, Eugene?” he demanded angrily.
As Eugene was still seated in a chair, he smirked devilishly. “I would like to let you know why it’s over for you and see it clearly for yourself just how blind you are!”
“With the unfounded statements by these people?” Edward snapped. “Let him finish!” Eugene said, gesturing to Isaac. “Back then, I was a little afraid to do it,” Isaac continued. “So, Lara Roberts told me to have some drinks and make it look like I was drunk driving, saying that I could get away with three to five years of jail time, and just like that, I was convinced by her. So, I picked a rainy day and followed behind Mrs. Nolan’s cab. When it came to a downhill road, I stepped on the gas pedal and rammed into her.
After that, I was worried that the truth would be exposed, and I confessed my mistake to President Nolan, telling him that it was unintentional. At that time, he had no idea about my betrayal and thought that it was an accident. Even though he beat me up, he kept me alive and sent me to the police station. Just like Lara Roberts said, I was sentenced to three years in jail based on the drink-driving law. In the second year, Lara Roberts bailed me out and I left for Mastar.”
