Sure enough… It was no wonder that Lara was so fearless! The man in front of Eugene only had this woman in his eyes and saw no one else. Eugene’s mother had asked him to let Edward off the hook, but he went the extra mile and found so much evidence! Wouldn’t it be good to just teach the man a lesson?
Eugene looked at his father, the smile on his face becoming colder and colder. “You don’t care about my mother at all, and you don’t care about me or North. Do you only care about Lara? I seriously suspect that you’re involved in all these things too. People like you should go to hell along with Lara!”
Merlin was taken aback and subconsciously pulled Eugene and exclaimed, “Rocky!” He glanced at Merlin. ‘Grandpa, don’t you think I’m just helping them to achieve their aim?”
Merlin grew emotional and cried out, “Edward Nolan!” Then, he pointed at Lara. “That woman has broken up your entire family! She killed your wife, and now she’s attacking your son and grandson. Don’t you have a heart? Don’t you know the difference between good and evil? How did I have a son like you?”
As he spoke, he threw a teacup at Edward’s direction. Edward subconsciously dodged before he explained quiltily, “Didn’t I already say it? Eugene can take care of it any way he wants. I really didn’t know about all the things she’s done. I’m disappointed too, but she’s my wife, and everything she’s done is for me. W-What do you want me to do?”
Eugene slapped the table in anger and his demeanor was ice cold as he stood up. “You’re so naive! For you? You’re as good as a tool to her! Do you know why she refused when you proposed the first time? That’s because she has long been Gerald’s lover, and she wanted to marry him. Do you know why she came back?
Because Gerald chose his family and didn’t want her anymore. When she went back to you, she only did it because of Nolan Group’s success. In order to win your sympathy, she deliberately said that she was burned and went for plastic surgery. You foolishly believed her. For such a woman, you gave up your family and forced my mother to leave in such a despicable manner.”
He then questioned, “Do you know why she had to kill her mother? Because my mother knew that she wasn’t injured at all during the fire. It was my mother who was injured! You’re completely blinded, and you can’t even distinguish right from wrong anymore! Until now, you’re still finding reasons to justify her actions. Have you gotten addicted to that b*tch?
His eyes were filled with hate, and every word he spat out seemed to have the freezing ability! After that, he said to his son, “North, bring up the list of shareholders of Kanes Corporation.”
North nodded before he turned on the computer and his little fingers flew across the computer at the speed of wind. In no time, Kanes Corporation’s year-end dividend appeared.
Eugene got up, then took a few steps toward Edward before grabbing him by the collar and dragging him to the computer. “Open your eyes and take a look! This one percent stake in Kanes Corporation is the breakup fee paid to Lara after she stayed by Gerard’s side for three years! The woman whom you think loves you wholeheartedly is actually a woman someone else was tired of sleeping with!”
Edward peered at the line of numbers and the familiar name. He stood stiffly in place, as if he hadn’t heard what Eugene just spat at him. All he could think of was that Lara had already been Gerald’s lover a long time ago and she only returned to him-the next best thing- because Gerald didn’t want her.
