But why does Eugene know about all of this? Andy wondered. Nicole was just as puzzled. “What do you mean, Eugene? Are you saying that this person knows Nicole?”
Eugene shot her a glare from the corner of his eye. ‘Nicole manipulated you, yet you still don’t know what’s going on! Silly girl!” Penny was dumbfounded. “Manipulated? Did someone manipulate me? Was it Nicole? When did she do it?”
Eugene couldn’t be bothered to explain everything to Penny right then, so he shifted his glare back to Andy. “What does Nicole have against Olivia?”
Andy tried his best to force the words out of his lips. “N-No one told me to do anything to Olivia!” he whispered. When Penny spoke up, Eugene was about to kick Andy in the ribs. “I think I know why,” she said. “What?” Eugene turned to his sister. “She likes you!” Penny cried. Eugene felt his eyelids twitching when he heard her words. “What did you just say?”
“It’s true. She admitted that she likes you,” Penny uttered. A complicated look formed on Eugene’s face-his expression was a mixture of shock and hatred. It took him a while to contain the discomfort that he felt. Is that why she’s going against Olivia?
“Did she tell you about this intentionally?” he asked. “No. I observed it on my own. She mentioned that you were no longer nice to them after your started dating Olivia. She looked rather disappointed when she said this, so I made a guess and asked her about it. She didn’t agree with my statement, but she didn’t deny it, either. She said that she wouldn’t mind if you found yourself a better woman, but she couldn’t accept the fact that you fell for someone like Olivia. Penny replied.
The corner of Eugene’s lips twitched with annoyance. ‘What’s wrong with Olivia?” Penny carefully sneaked a glance at Eugene’s face to see that it was as grim as a crow. “She… she said that Olivia has a kid and that she stirred up a lot of drama in the Nolan Family.”
Eugene was still furious after hearing what Penny said. “What has that got to do with Olivia? Her child is my son! It’s none of anyone’s business!”
Penny stared at him speechlessly. I’m not the one who said this. Why is he getting mad at me? Eugene turned to look at Andy. “Nicole called you and told you to wait for Penny there, right?”
Andy didn’t respond-he looked like he’d rather die than say anything. Eugene scoffed at his behavior. “Do you like her to a point where you’d be willing to die for her? Don’t you see how worthless your sacrifices are? Why don’t I reveal what happened seven years ago to the public? Then, she’d be pressured into dating and marrying you!”
Finally, after hearing Eugene’s words, Andy no longer seemed as stubborn and resistant as before. Instead, he fixed his bloodshot eyes on Eugene. “What exactly do you know?”
Eugene scoffed. “I know everything. I know you I were just a beggar and only got to where you are today because of Nicole. I know that you slept with Nicole in Loveshore Guesthouse. If you don’t want the whole city to discover this, you should answer all my questions now!”
There was a threatening look in Andy’s eyes as he forced himself up into a sitting position. “TI murder you, Eugene!” he hissed. Eugene stomped his foot against Andy’s back and pressed him down so that he couldn’t move at all. Eugene’s voice was as cold as the wind from hell, making the whole room chilly when he spoke. “You should’ve expected such a thing to happen from the day you laid hands on Olivia!”
Penny finally understood what was going on then. If Andy and Nicole know each other, then what Nicole said earlier wasn’t just to comfort me. She was planting ideas in my head. I stupidly trusted her words, and I happened to bump into a good fighter like Andy on the streets after that. I asked for his help without thinking.
