Chapter 707
Worrying that Eugene might kill Andy, Olivia piped up, "Eugene, stop! Let's leave it to the police."
Yet, Eugene disregarded what she said as he continued, "Speak. Who told you to do this?"
"It's Penny! She wants to use Olivia as leverage on you to drop the charge." Andy finally said something, as if he
came to terms with the fact that it was not worth it to throw his life away just to keep the secret.
Eugene's eyes narrowed when he heard that. Not only did his face darken like the somber sky before the storm, the
glint in his eyes was terrifying.
After rubbing his shoe against Andy's body to wipe off the bloodstain on its sole, he trod toward Olivia. At the sight
of her beaten form, Eugene swore to himself that he would make Penny pay.
"Olivia, you'll be alright. We're leaving now." Eugene carried her bridal style. Compared to his previous furious state,
the voice he used and the action he made solely for her were nothing short of gentle.
Once they left the room, he noticed his bodyguards had just arrived at the scene. Considering how they rushed
over here simultaneously with Eugene, the bodyguards could not help but feel ashamed at the fact that he had
rescued Olivia by the time they arrived.
Their expressions were apologetic. "President Nolan."

"Understood," responded the bodyguards.
He then looked at the police. "Look into it as much as you can."
"Yes, President Nolan," the officer replied.
Then, he carried Olivia out of the manor and settled her down in the passenger seat. He took hold of her hand and
gave a peck on it. "Olivia, let me check if you're hurt anywhere else."
She shook her head. "I'm fine. I'm not injured elsewhere."
He stared at her with a gaze that was rife with pain; it would not be an exaggeration to say his heart had suffered
from thousands of cuts. The sheer sight of her forlorn state was enough for him to imagine how helpless she had
been back then.
"Let's go to the hospital."
Olivia shook her head wearily. "I'm fine. I don't need to go to the hospital. It's just some superficial injuries. I can
tend to them myself."
Eugene grabbed her hand to peck it again. "Olivia, please listen to me, unless you want me to suffer even more
right now. We need to get you checked. It'll put my mind at ease once I know that you're truly fine."
Olivia fell into silence. She could see the intense self-reprimand through his eyes, which was probably not due to the
fact that Penny was the mastermind.
He must be blaming himself for not being able to protect me.

She smiled and nodded, feeling the warm sensation creeping into her heart.
"Okay."
Eugene smiled and tidied her messy hair before seating himself in the driver seat. Since it was an emergency, he
drove on his own at full throttle, but she was still hurt in the end.
He stayed by her side the whole time they were in the hospital. Even though it was not a big deal just like Olivia
mentioned, he was not thrilled when he saw the green and purple blotches on her body, as well as the numerous
cuts of different sizes. The doctors had even removed four pieces of glass fragments from her skin!
On top of that, she also took a small dose of the drug. Hence, the doctor advised her to stay in the hospital for an
observation stay, at which she gladly listened.
The pain in Eugene's heart intensified at that. Sitting next to her bed, he inquired about the incident. After
recounting the whole story to him, Olivia added, "He seemed polite with his speech and filial, so I didn't think much."
"He was putting on a show."
"Yeah. Too bad his good acting has gone to waste. Luckily, there's a lighter in the room. Otherwise, I would've been
shredded into pieces by those dogs. You have no idea how fierce they are!"
