Penny hadn’t expected him to agree with her, but she felt like the skies had made a decision for her after he said yes. Now that she looked back at the incident, she realized that it had been planned out all along. She took two steps toward Andy.
“Nicole was the one who wanted to kill Olivia, so she tried to use my name to get the job done. Once everything was exposed, my brother would only investigate me, which would have nothing to do with her. Hah! That’s so manipulative and evil. I genuinely treated her like a good friend. How dare she trick me like that?”
Andy scoffed. “It’s a shame that you’re not a novelist-you’re really great at making stories up! This has got nothing to do with Nicole at all. I like her, but I know that I’m in no position to do so. I could tell she had feelings for Eugene, so I thought I would try to help her by getting rid of Olivia! Since you happened to ask me for help on the same day, I figured that I might as well get the job done! That was it!” He defended himself weakly.
“Are you still helping her to keep this a secret now? Do you want me to expose what you guys did to the public?” Eugene asked. Andy took a long, painful breath before begging Eugene. ‘If you knew what happened seven years ago, then you should know that I was the beggar that Anna arranged to sleep with Olivia.
Nicole was innocent, yet she was roped into all of this by accident. She indirectly saved Olivia. You can reveal what happened between Nicole and me, but your girlfriend will also be affected if this goes viral! I was the one who decided to attack Olivia, and it has got nothing to do with Nicole. But if you can’t look past this, then you can just kill me!”
Eugene scoffed. This guy is smart. He knows what to say in order to change my mind. “You’ve really thought this through, huh,” he mocked.
“I just really wanted to repay Nicole for everything she has done. I’m sorry for hurting your girlfriend. You can kill me, but please don’t do anything to Nicole. She didn’t tell me to do anything at all, Andy voiced resolutely. If it weren’t for the fact that Andy had hurt Olivia, Eugene would’ve been impressed by the man’s determination! What a shame!
“You’re always thinking of her, but do you want to know what she thinks of you?” Eugene asked. “I don’t!” Andy cried. But Eugene wasn’t about to let Andy go so easily. “Tell Nicole to come to your place now!” he told Penny.
“What do you want me to tell her?” Penny replied hastily. “Tell her that I hit you and that you want her to be with you!” Eugene ordered. Penny nodded before she hurried into her room to call Nicole. Nicole showed up at Penny’s house in an hour’s time. When Nicole entered the room, she noticed the guards outside, and she was hesitant for a while. Did Eugene lock Penny up?
Nicole tried to enter the house, but the guards let her in, to her surprise, without stopping her. She thought that Eugene had locked Penny up and wouldn’t let her in. After she rang the doorbell, Penny walked out to open the door for her. “What’s going on? Why are there so many people at your place?” Nicole asked.
“My brother won’t allow me to leave the house,” Penny replied. Nicole nodded and walked in, only to be greeted by a pungent, metallic stench. It was the smell of blood. So, naturally, she noticed the bloody figure that Eugene had tortured. Andy looked like he was half-dead as he lay on the ground. His eyes were shut, and he looked like he had fainted.
Nicole was stunned as all sorts of thoughts flickered across her mind. Why did Penny tell me to come? Did Andy rat on me? Did Eugene find out about something? Nicole had to force herself to look away from Andy. That was when she realized the man with a strong aura was sitting on the couch. ‘Is that you, Eugene?”
“Yeah. Have a seat!” Eugene replied in a neutral tone.
