With his eyes locked on Edward, Eugene commented, “She claimed that I forced the stories on the witnesses and
faked the evidence. Should I also invite the hospital director and the cosmetic surgeon from Trinity Hospital to come
over? It’s fine if she said that I forced one or two of them, but this is already the third witness and she’s still denying
it.
However, you just love listening to her excuses when in fact, you know it very clearly in your heart that Lara Roberts
was the mastermind behind my mother’s murder as well the real culprit who kept targeting me and North. Still, you
refuse to accept this fact. Let me guess why this is so.”
His lips turned upward. “I got it. It’s because you’re afraid. You’re afraid that you’re really so blind!” Enraged by his
words, Edward refuted, “What am I afraid of? Everything you provided can’t stand up to scrutiny, and even if what
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou said is true, what’s her motive? She already has me, which is what she wanted, so she has not reason to do all
these things!”
Pity gradually crept over Eugene’s eyes. “You’re pathetic, Edward Nolan. Do you really think that it’s you that she
wants? What she really wants is the Nolan Group! You’re merely a stepping stone for her to get to that, but no
matter how. much she has calculated, she never imagined that the position of the head of the Nolan Family, which
was supposed to be yours, was handed over to me directly by Grandpa!”
Edward bellowed, “Don’t just speak offhandedly, Eugene! Are you making up stories and just saying anything you
like?” His voice carried a hint of inexplicable panic amidst his fury.
While retaining his composure, Eugene admitted, “I know that you won’t give it a rest until I make you give up!”
Once again, he instructed Curtis, “Let them in!”
Hearing that, everyone exchanged glances at each other. No matter how they looked at it, Eugene had come
prepared; otherwise, how could he keep the witnesses coming in one after another?
In order to make Edward give up, he had really gone the extra mile! Soon, about a dozen people walked into the
room while being led by Curtis. There were men and women, and they appeared to be in their fifties.
Then, Eugene stood up to greet all of them. “On behalf of my mother, I thank everyone for your help,” he said and
instructed someone to bring the chairs over. One of the men responded, “You’re welcome. If it’s not for you, we
wouldn’t be able to get together like this!”
“Please take a seat, everyone!” Eugene said and shifted his attention to the surprised Edward and Lara at the
conference table. “I suppose the both of you know who these people are. Aren’t you going to say hi?”
The look on Lara’s face turned into a scow and her originally fair face was already void of all traces of blood as she
thought, Since Eugene brought them all here, does it mean that he knew all about what happened thirty years ago?
But, how is that possible?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTechnology back then wasn’t as advanced as it was now, and they were all separated for such a long time that even
she didn’t know where they were living. How did Eugene manage to find them?
Meanwhile, the more Edward scrutinized these people, the more familiar he thought they were. Standing up from
the conference table, he paced toward his ex-classmates. “Y-You guys are… Goodness! Why are all of you here?”
“Do you still recognize us?” one man asked. A delighted Edward laughed. “Of course I do! You’re Nigel Lowe, and
you were my rival in love back in those years!” Nigel chuckled before he then said, “Do you still remember this? You
have a rather good memory!”
As he was proud of himself, Edward started, “That’s Christian Langdon, Heather Lively, Dorothy Schmidt…” He went
on to call out their names until he reached the last person. “You’re… Lower… But, what’s your name, again?”
Casting him a coquettish look, the woman uttered, “Oh my, I chased after you for so long back then. How dare you
remember everyone else but forget me!”
