Nicole stroked Penny’s hair while advising her gently. “You shouldn’t put any hopes on him- that way, you won’t feel any disappointment. That’s all in the past.” Penny let go of her and looked up. “With you, is he also…
“No. I was just feeling sentimental for a while,” Nicole uttered.
“Do you like my brother?” Penny asked. Nicole let out a sigh. “I won’t have much to say if he finds himself a good woman. But now, he’s with a woman who has a child, and she has been causing so much trouble in the Nolan family after just being with him for a few months. I really don’t know what to say.”
“Just tell her to drop dead, then!” Penny uttered hatefully. Nicole seemed rather nervous, but there was a hint of excitement in her eyes. “Hey, you shouldn’t get so aggressive. Who do you think Olivia is? She isn’t going to die so easily. Your brother would come in the way first.”
Penny scoffed. “Is there anything that I can do. if I don’t get past him first?” Nicole ‘kindly’ revealed more information to the other girl. “You shouldn’t do anything rash. Olivia isn’t someone you should underestimate -the regular person can’t even get close to herl “What do you mean? Does she have really good combat skills?” Penny asked.
“I heard she’s pretty good,” Nicole replied. “I got it,” Penny said. Nicole spoke in a rather annoyed tone. “Did you understand what I meant? What did you get?” Right then, someone rang the doorbell to their room. Penny gave Nicole a look before she went to open the door.
“You’re here, Hayden. Hurry up and help me speak some sense into Penny. She’s still crying, Nicole said as she opened the door. Hayden walked in and gazed at Penny, whose eyes were red from crying. “Stop crying. This is between your parents and Eugene. Now that Eugene’s mother is alive, your parents’ sentence might be lessened. Perhaps they’ll only be in there for a few years. You shouldn’t meddle with anything now!”
Penny scoffed. ‘It’s all because Olivia got involved in this. Otherwise, my brother wouldn’t be so heartless.” “This doesn’t have much to do with Olivia. Didn’t you visit your mother? Your mother tried to poison Eugene and North-Eugene isn’t going to let things slip so easily because of this.
Furthermore, with all the grudges that had been accumulated throughout the years… Eugene only held back in the past because of Old Man Nolan. Didn’t he tell you this? This whole thing is too complicated, and you don’t understand the full truth. All you have to do is find a good lawyer that can defend your parents!”
“Yeah. Since you have been expanding your work in Mastar, you should just stay outside the country, Nicole added.
“Why should I do that? I’m part of the Nolan family, so why can’t I come back? If anyone’s leaving, it should be Olivia! Alright. Stop trying to convince me to do anything. I know what to do,” Penny hissed before she returned to her room.
Nicole threw her hands up in the air helplessly. “Did you see that? My mouth is going to fall off my face by the time I convince her to do anything. Nicole let out a sigh. “It’s my fault as well. I shouldn’t have gotten her to join us. She cried for the whole of last night, so my intention was just to bring her out. At first, I thought I would bring her to go skiing, but they ended up insisting that we should visit Eugene once they heard that Eugene was here. I guess they wanted to beg Eugene, but look at how this turned out.”
“We should leave this all to fate. We’ll just do our best,” Hayden said. “I bet Eugene is mad now, right? How did Alex explain himself?” Nicole asked.
“He didn’t say much. He just claimed that they had come over to have fun and that they didn’t know it would turn out like this. Alright. Stop overthinking this. Do you want to go back to take a look? Or do you want to stay here with her?”
