Hence, these people only stood by the door and listened as the noise gradually faded away inside. Soon after, that
man came out. Others might not know who Eugene was, but Howard was a businessman, so how could he not
know him? He nodded slightly to Eugene as a greeting, and then hurriedly left. Unexpectedly, Eugene spoke up.
“How did you get that?”
Howard was taken aback. He hadn’t expected that Eugene would take the initiative to talk to him. If it weren’t for
an occasion like today, he would’ve been flattered. After all, he had never seen Eugene starting a conversation with
anyone before. However, he had embarrassed himself today.
Still, he couldn’t ignore him, so he stopped and answered vaguely, “I just accidentally cut myself with a beer bottle.
President Nolan, please carry on. I… I’ll go and take care of this.”

his way. Just then, Nathan walked out of the compartment as well. When he saw Eugene, he asked in surprise,
“Uncle, why are you here?”
Eugene’s face was expressionless as he replied, “Where would I be if not here? North and I are still waiting for you
to come and eat!”
It was only then that Nathan remembered he had an appointment with Eugene for a meal, and he had forgotten
about it. “Oh, I forgot. Have you and North already eaten?”
Eugene glared at him. “How could we? Do you think we’d have the appetite for anything while you’re fighting
here?” Saying that, he suddenly turned his gaze toward Howard sharply. “What’s going on?”
Dumbfounded. Howard was completely dumbfounded. When Eugene took the initiative to talk to him just now, he
had been flattered, but that feeling abruptly disappeared as he broke into a cold sweat. This man is Eugene’s
nephew?! Earlier, he was thinking about going back to find out who this person was and teach him a lesson, but
now he would be grateful if Eugene didn’t teach him a lesson instead.
He hurriedly took two steps toward Eugene and explained with a smile, “President Nolan, I’m really sorry for
disturbing your meal. I’ve already explained everything to your nephew. It’s just a misunderstanding.”
Eugene glanced at Nathan. “You worked it out?” After a glare at Howard, Nathan turned to look at Eugene. “Yeah.
Katie didn’t let me hit him anymore.” Eugene hummed in reply. “Since it’s a misunderstanding, let’s leave it at
that.”
At his words, the group of bodyguards surrounding him gradually dispersed. Finally, Howard was able to let out a
long sigh. He was almost scared to death.
“Thank you, President Nolan.” As soon as he said that, he hastily slipped away. Eugene looked at Nathan, then at
Kate who had stayed quiet the entire time. ‘Are you all right?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKate shook her head. “Thank you for your help, Mr. Nolan.” North also frowned as he looked at Kate’s face.
“Godmother, what happened to your face?”
Kate crouched down and gave North a hug, reassuring him, “‘It’s okay. I was just bullied by: that bad guy just now.”
North stretched out his little hand and touched her face, his frown growing as he asked, “Godmother, does it hurt?
You should ask Mommy to take a look for you.” “I’ll be fine after I put an ice pack on it when we get home.”
Eugene looked at Nathan and said, “North said that you lost weight, so you must have not eaten a good meal
during this period of time. That’s why I asked you to come out and eat with us. Now, I don’t think you need us to
take care of you anymore. You two can talk. We have to go back and eat.”
Saying that, he left with North. Kate glanced at Nathan again and noticed that he did indeed become even thinner
than the last time she saw him. Currently, his hair was messy, his under eyes were black, and he was practically
skin and bones, as though he was malnourished. At the sight of this, she felt her heart suddenly ache, but she didn’t
know how to tell him to take care of himself.
