A person that could afford to pay for Wily Rabbit was definitely not one who was short of money because his starting rate was at tens of millions! In addition, they had already transferred from Mastar to other places, and all three were acting independently.
This point alone was awe-inspiring. Fortunately, all three children’s final stop was the same despite departing from different places. It seemed like he would have to stay home for the next few days.
He had just chatted with them and disconnected the call when his bedroom door swung open. He immediately turned around to check who the interloper was and saw that it was only Nathan.
“North.”
“What happened, Nate?” Nathan found a chair and plopped into it dejectedly. “Will you help me to find out where Melanie is?” North pouted as he interrogated, ‘Aren’t you going to date Godmother properly?”
“Of course, I want to.”
“Why are you looking for Melanie, then?”
“I’m looking for her to settle a score!” “What did she do to you?” North asked in surprise. “She set me up and caused me and your godmother to break up!”
In a tone similar to Olivia, North said, “Since when are the both of you an item?” Nathan gave him a light smack on his head. “Rascal, why are you stabbing at my weak spot, too? I don’t have the courage to go against your mother, but not you. How can you speak so casually with me?”
“I’ll give Godmother a call right now,” North threatened coldly. Nathan instantly stopped his teasing and became serious. “If she knows that I’m here, she won’t come over at all.”
North frowned as he regarded him. “What happened between the both of you?” Nathan sighed with feeling as he briefly summarized the incident. “Earlier in my car, I found a tiny listening bug under my driver’s seat. Someone planned this.”
“You’re saying that Melanie did so much to draw a wedge between you and Godmother?” North asked.
“Yes,” he answered. “Is she that dumb?” North questioned. “What good will it do her by spending so much effort to draw a wedge between you? Will she get to be with you?”
Nathan spat spitefully, “She can dream on!” North continued asking sweetly and innocently, “Exactly. If she knows that she can’t be with you?”
“That woman is crazy. Who knows what goes on in her head?” Nathan argued. Right after, a man’s voice echoed from the door. “Even if she’s crazy, she’s not an idiot. Knowing that you won’t let her off, she still did it. That shows that it’s not purely for revenge. It may also be for money.”
“Are you saying that someone is instructing her behind the scenes?” Nathan asked in surprise, looking at Eugene. “Olivia already told you it is a coordinated crime, but you didn’t listen to her.”
It wasn’t that he didn’t listen. He just didn’t know who else had the motive to bear a grudge against him besides Melanie. Eugene said in resignation. “Alright, let North help you to investigate. Unfortunately, that brain. of yours isn’t as bright as my son’s.”
“Uncle Eugene, I’m already lost and bewildered. Don’t give me another hit now because I may break down any time.” Eugene gave him an icy side-eye as he retorted, “What? Are you blaming this on me?”
An aggrieved Nathan could only sulk as he changed the topic, “Anyway, as long as I’ve not patched things up with Kate, I’ll come over every day to harass all of you. That will definitely waste a lot of sweet time between you and Olivia. So, you have to help me.”
Frozen on the spot, Eugene stared at him in bewilderment and thought, Rascal, the nerve of him to threaten me now! Should I chase him out so I can have peace of mind, or should I settle it once and for all for him so there will be no more trouble?
After he contemplated the matter for a few minutes, he decided not to throw him out just because Nathan was still his nephew. Nathan trotted after Eugene shamelessly. “Uncle Eugene, do you have any idea what to do?”
