Chapter 45 Problems Unbeknownst To Others
“That was the darkest year of my life. I followed my mom back to the Mccarthy Family, but because my
health wasn’t good, I would faint from time to time. Additionally, my mom was forced out of the house
by the Nolan Family, and since my uncle was afraid of offending both the Roberts and the Nolans, he
refused to let us go back to the Mccarthy family. In the end, my mom had to rent a room outside. Just a
few months later, she passed away in a car accident, and since then, I’ve never had a family member.”
With just a few words, Brian explained the entire experience of that particular year. Even so, Olivia
could still imagine how helpless Brian must have felt during that time.
He was only twelve years old, yet he had already gone through his parent’s divorce, the betrayal of his
own brother, and his mom’s death.
In just a year, he lost all of his relatives.
Oh my God! How was he able to push through everything?
It was no wonder that his face looked hostile when he saw Eugene.
Perhaps in Brian’s heart, Eugene was a heartless brother, an unfilial son, and a traitor who betrayed his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfamily in order to pursue riches, regardless of the injustice faced by their mom.
Olivia’s eyes subconsciously became gentle as she asked, “Where are you staying right now?”
Brian gave a light smile while giving her a look that said ‘don’t look at me with that pair of sympathetic
eyes’. “I’m doing fine now. Later, my grandpa found me. I also did some business and was able to take
care of myself.”
For a moment, Olivia did not know what to say. “Has the situation from that year been clearly
investigated?”
Brian replied, “That man is dead, so it’s impossible to find out the truth. I suppose I could not
disassociate from Lara and Edward. Without the evidence, I can only make them pay using my own
methods. However, the Nolan Family did well under Eugene’s management. Now, I don’t have enough
strength to compete with them.”
After taking a long time to digest the entire situation, Olivia then took a deep breath before giving a
word of comfort. “Have you ever thought about it? Perhaps some things are not like what you see on
the surface. Have you ever sat down with your brother to have a proper chat?”
Brian then gave a cold snort. “What should I talk about with him? Talk about family? Or brotherhood?
What does he have?”
Olivia opened her mouth but did not know how to persuade him. She felt that Eugene was not the kind
of person that Brian thought he was.
Would Eugene abandon his own mom, who was being framed, and even destroy the relationship with
his brother, just so he could enjoy riches?
Nonetheless, she did not experience the situation firsthand and did not know the real truth behind it.
To put it bluntly, Olivia did not know Eugene very well and had only come into contact with him twice.
Just like how she always thought that Brian was a warm and gentle boy, but he turned out to be full of
scars!
Olivia stayed in the restaurant with Brian for two hours before they went back.
She had the feeling that some things were unspeakable and felt inexplicably heavy. Surely, everyone
would have some difficulties and problems unbeknownst to others.
Olivia had just arrived at her driveway, and even before she got out of her car, she saw a man holding a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlarge bouquet of roses walking over to her. She was not able to see the person’s face as it was blocked
by the large bouquet.
Hence, Olivia got out of her car suspiciously. As soon as she shut her car door, the bouquet of roses
was already in front of her.
She did not accept it. Instead, she was busy looking at the face hidden behind the roses.
By observing the figure, it did not look like Nathan. So who exactly was this person? Or did they send it
to the wrong address?
However, the person did not wait for Olivia to accept the flowers and revealed his face from behind the
bouquet of roses. With a smile on his face, he greeted Olivia.
“Miss Maxwell.”
The corner of Olivia’s mouth twitched. “Robin?”
Robin then smiled and nodded his head. “Yes, Miss Maxwell. I’m really sorry about yesterday. I’m used
to joking with them, and I didn’t mean to harm you in any way.”
With this, he handed the bouquet to her. “Please accept these roses and don’t worry about that issue
anymore.”
Olivia stretched her lips awkwardly. This was her first time receiving a bouquet of roses as an apology.
