Chapter 429
All of a sudden, Olivia could somewhat understand Eugene’s hatred. Anybody would choose to get revenge if they
had a father who not only shirked his duties as a father but also framed their mother, who had suffered all sorts of
abuse because of him. Then, she glanced at Eugene suspiciously. “At that time, Lara and Edward must have been
very suspicious of you, right? How did you survive? Moreover, you even managed to help out your mother and
Brian in secret.” After saying that, she abruptly turned to look at him. “What Brian said couldn’t have been true,
right?”
It wasn’t as if she didn’t trust him, but the way he was acting tonight clearly showed that he blamed himself for
what happened. If this incident had nothing to do with him, he wouldn’t act like that!
In response, Eugene lifted his gaze and looked at her with an expression that seemed to say: ‘How could you think
that of me?!’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThus, she hurriedly explained, “I know you weren’t behind it. But, the way you act makes me think that you were
involved in the matter somehow, right?”
He sighed deeply before saying, “Yes, you’re right! My mother got into the car accident six months after she left the
Nolan Family. After they left, I began recruiting and training my own men in secret. I didn’t have money, but
Grandpa doted on me at the time. Thus, my allowance was never cut off. Isaac was the first person I recruited at
the time. He wasn’t chosen to be a bodyguard candidate, but I took him in because he seemed capable. But, I
didn’t hire him to protect me. At the Nolan Residence, I was protected by Grandpa. Therefore, Edward and Lara
didn’t dare to openly do anything to me. However, that wasn’t the same for my mother and Brian. For that reason, I
sent Isaac to secretly protect my mother and Brian. After that, he devoted himself to protecting my mother for
more than three months. During that period, he managed to solve some minor troubles for them. Just as I was
starting to let my guard down and focus on my own affairs, I received a phone call from him one day. He told me
that he had accidentally collided into the car my mother was in while he was driving, and my mother was in the
hospital for emergency treatment.” Pausing for a moment, he sighed again. “I was still young and inexperienced, so
I didn’t think too much about it. When I was older, I finally noticed that there were too many coincidences lined up
together for that incident to actually be a coincidence. Isaac was working for me, but he ran into my mother. The
main purpose for that was to turn us brothers against each other. You saw it for yourself; Brian would still believe
that even today. Secondly, they wanted to get rid of my mother lest she caused trouble in the future. Lastly, Brian
would be a goner without my mother. It was three birds with one stone. Unfortunately, I didn’t consider it so deeply
at the time. Back then, Isaac knelt in front of me and begged for mercy. So, I sent him to the police station after
beating him up. By the time the pieces of the puzzle clicked in place for me, he was gone without a trace. Since
then, I’ve been looking for him. I’ve been blaming myself for it—why didn’t I notice what they did in the first place?”
Upon hearing that, her expression became one of disgust. After that, she comforted him, saying, “You were young,
naïve, and inexperienced back then. Moreover, no ordinary person could have imagined that they would do
something so unimaginably cruel! Still, don’t you think it’s strange that the man you’ve been looking for all this
while would suddenly turn up at your doorstep?”
He replied, “Yes, they must be trying to create a rift between Brian and me on purpose. I guess they felt that we
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwere getting along too well. So, they released that man to confuse us with falsehoods.”
She asked, “Do you mean Lara and your father?”
In response, he looked gloomy. “Who else could it be if not them?”
On the other hand, she looked extremely concerned. “But, how are you going to explain this to Brian? After all,
Isaac was one of your men! I believe everything you said, but Brian might not!”
Holding her hands in his, Eugene’s thumb gently made circles against the back of her hand as he mockingly smiled
and said, “They must be certain that Brian and I will turn against each other like how we did before. That’s why they
released Isaac. But, they’ve forgotten that I’m no longer the same person I was back then. If it wasn’t out of
respect for Grandpa, we might have been at each other’s throats a long time ago. For now, I want Grandpa to live
out the rest of his life peacefully. I will get my revenge on them sooner or later. Besides, I have sufficient reasons to
make Brian believe me.”
Then, Olivia stared at him in surprise. “What?”
