Meanwhile, Eugene had already figured out her intentions and he was angered beyond himself, to the point that he
laughed. “Is it actually that bad and it’s not even worth a mention?”
Olivia frowned slightly and she didn’t understand what was so funny about the situation, so she responded
ambiguously. He angrily continued, “If it’s not worth a mention, then why are you considering things from my
perspective?” She glanced at him in confusion. “What are you on about?.”
Angered, he instantly turned her body around to face him squarely. “I can’t believe that you came up with such a
silly excuse to break up with me! I was frightened by that, you know? Am I so useless in your eyes? Do you think
that I’m going to abandon you as soon as I encounter difficulties? If I actually did that, would I even be worth your
efforts? Don’t even think of using this method of leaving to dispel those rumors. Trust me, I’ll be able to settle this.”
As Eugene said this, he took her hand into his and stroked the back of her hand with his thumb repeatedly. “You just
have to keep this in mind-you’re the most important person to me. I don’t care about the Nolan Group or the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtposition as the president. All those are not worth mentioning compared to you. I was afraid that you wouldn’t be
able to accept this but gosh, you’ve easily figured things out by yourself, huh? You’ve even decided to cast me
aside! What did you plan to do anyway?”
Olivia glared at him and her expression was full of frustration and shame. Was it because my acting was rubbish?
How could he have seen through all this so easily?
He looked at her expression and he couldn’t contain his laughter as he wrapped his arms around her and
comforted her, “Olivia, you and North mean the world to me. I would give up everything else just to have you, so
this is something that you should never doubt.
Please don’t cast me aside like this again. This is not a big deal at all. I’m not afraid of them making a fuss about
things. I’m much more worried about them lying in wait behind the scenes. The more they kick up a fuss, the easier
it is for me to figure out their moves, so it’s a good thing.”
Meanwhile, Olivia took a deep breath. She felt resigned for herself, and for this man in front of her too. “Actually, I
reckon the incident today has nothing much to do with Lara. I think I know the culprit.” Eugene replied, “Yeah, I
know that too.”
At that point, Olivia stared at him in surprise. “You do?”
He held her hands and found that actually, her fingers were very pretty. She had long, fair fingers, and they were
comparable to a hand model’s hands or even much nicer.
He caressed her hand repeatedly, as if he was holding on to the most precious treasure on earth.
“Actually, there have been a lot of things going on for the past few days, but I didn’t mention it to you because I
noticed that filming was quite hard on you. We recently hired a new secretary at the company and her name’s
Samantha. She stated on her resume that she had worked for the Kanes Corporation as the chief secretary, and
Curtis felt that she would be a great candidate so he mentioned her to me.
I checked her resume and found that it was indeed very good, so I decided to hire her. However, I hadn’t met her
then. After coming back from Promise Island, we worked together and managed to gain an important project, so I

was convinced of her capabilities. Back then, North was always with me and he met her too. That night itself, he
had a very bad nightmare…”
Olivia remained in his arms and listened to him mention his secretary. In fact, Anna, who had been brought out of
the psychiatric hospital by someone, had undergone plastic surgery according to Samantha’s looks. The resume
was actually the actual person’s efforts.
She listened to him describe North’s nightmare and how Eugene kept North company by telling the kid tales about
his childhood. Ultimately, North grew up and learned to fight back, and he even held Anna captive. Olivia was
slightly surprised that Eugene had actually taken quite good care of North.
However, she couldn’t contain her anger as she thought of Anna, who persistently refused to leave them alone.
“Who was the one that got her out of the psychiatric hospital?” she growled. “As long as she’s alive, she’s going to
be trouble for us.”
Eugene looked at her and at that moment, he was quite worried whether she would be sad if she found that it was
her father who had gotten Anna out of the hospital.
