“Previously, Lara Roberts got me back and wanted me to frame this incident on President Nolan. The reason was to sow discord between him and his brother, Young Master Brian, and she even taught me what to say. Since Young Master Brian already had a rift with President Nolan, he easily believed my words and went directly to President Nolan to settle the score. It looks like Young Master Brian found out the truth a few days later, though, and I have no other choice but to come clean now!”
After that, Eugene turned to Edward and asked, “Is there anything you would like to say?” Rendered dumbstruck, Edward gazed back at him. If it was anything else, he might not have believed it, but not this matter because he really knew it and it was even his idea. However, why was Isaac’s version of the story different from what he knew?
Isaac’s girlfriend was Lara’s secretary. When the accident happened back then, Isaac had asked Lara for help and she refused him in order to avoid suspicion. In spite of that, she had bailed him out for the sake of his girlfriend and sent him abroad after that..
In that case, did Lara lie to me? As Edward stared at Lara, he asked, “Tell me, what’s going on?”
As her lips were sealed by tape, she couldn’t say anything, but she shook her head vigorously. “Are you sure you want to listen to her excuses?” Eugene asked.
I’ve already divorced your mother, so she had no reason to do something like that!” Edward said while looking at him. The smile on Eugene’s face turned even colder and he instructed someone to rip off the tape on Lara’s mouth.
Gazing at her, Edward was overcome with helplessness. Actually, he was already starting to believe them, but he had to ask for himself. “Tell me, Lara. What the hell is going on? Didn’t you tell me that you only bailed him out because of his girlfriend so that they could be together? Why did he say that you’re the one who asked him to do it?”
She looked wronged as she struggled while saying, “I have no idea why he would say that, either. Back then, I helped him out of kindness because of his girlfriend!”
Eugene’s lips turned upward to form an indifferent sneer. “Weren’t you the one who was adamantly insisting earlier that you don’t know him? So, you know him now?”
A stunned Lara was now at a loss of what to do and her mind went blank as she had completely forgotten what she said earlier. Everything Eugene did today had caught her off guard and it didn’t cross her mind that he would feign illness to set up such a big trap for her Was she unguarded?
No, because she had clearly gone to the hospital several times. Was Eugene too crafty for her?
Not exactly, either. Lara was too careless and wanted the Nolan Group too much, confidently assuming that Eugene was hospitalized due to poisoning. That was because it was a foolproof plan.
It was just that she didn’t think that he would discover it and used her plan against her to set her up! Looking at him calmly without any trace of panic, she elaborated, “I’m just having my guard up against you. Who knows what other tricks you have up your sleeve to frame me?”
“You really have a knack for twisting the truth.” Chuckling softly, Eugene cast Isaac a look so that he would continue. In reply, Isaac nodded and continued saying, “In fact, my girlfriend broke up with me after that accident. Seeing how much I did for her, she told me the truth and said that Lara Roberts had intentionally sent her to seduce me so that I would risk my life for her! I even have a voice recording of my recent conversation with Lara Roberts.”
After that, he fished out his cell phone from his pocket and pressed the play button to reveal Lara’s voice echoing from it. “Everything will be done if you just make him believe it. You’re working for Eugene, and he was the one who instructed you to do that so that he could have a foothold in the Nolan Family. Since Brian always had a grudge against him, he’ll definitely look for Eugene to settle the score after hearing this. At that time, no matter what Eugene says, it will be useless.”
