Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 555

Eugene hesitated for a moment before replying, "It was your father and Amy who did that, but I believe there is

another mastermind behind this. Back then, when Brian sent her to the hospital, he had specifically given

instructions so your dad and Amy wouldn't be able to set her free so easily. I'm guessing that it must be Lara. She

would resort to anything to kill me."

Olivia narrowed her eyes and there was a flash of doubt in her mind. "Why do I feel like something's amiss? If Amy's

main target was me, then she could have just done something similar to today's actions and she didn't have to put

in so much effort to join your company. Don't tell me that she didn't take any action all these while at your

company?"

Eugene nodded. "This is also what I find strange. Frankly, she should have a motive for joining the Nolan Group, but

I didn't notice her behaving out of the norm. I was wondering if it was because North had exposed her identity too

soon so she didn't have the chance to take action."

This sounded much more plausible and Olivia was convinced by his words. "That's possible. She thought that she

had everything well thought out but unexpectedly, North saw through her."

At that moment, Eugene was quite smug. "Our son's very smart."

Olivia looked at him as she heard him lovingly address North as his son. Somehow, she couldn't help feeling guilty.

"Eugene, would today's incident affect you?"

He looked at her and replied solemnly, "There would be some slight effect."

She continued to stare at him as her heart suddenly felt quite uneasy.

However, he replied, "Next time, don't agree to be on a magazine cover. Don't you know that I'm quite worried

about others hitting on you?"

He said this with a slight pout and there was a resentful look on his face.

Meanwhile, Olivia lowered her eyes, but her lips were slightly curved. "Is that the effect you meant?"

"This is a serious matter here. Actually, I wanted to stop Kate from publishing it back then, but Alex nagged me

about it; He said that I shouldn't keep you under lock and key and turn you into a caged bird. North also asked me

whether I wanted an actual person or just a pet. Well, I thought, of course I would want an actual human girlfriend.

Look, that guy's words can't be trusted at all. If only I knew that it would make you so unhappy right now, I would

have stood my stance and chosen a pet."

As soon as Olivia heard his words, she couldn't quite suppress her laughter and she could even imagine his torn

look back then.

"Well, the actress who agreed to shoot the cover photo for Kate was being very picky, and she even purposely

found fault with Kate over the clothes that Kate had specifically taken from me. That actress flung them on the

ground and stepped on them so, in a fit of anger, Kate terminated their contract. I wanted to stand up for Kate and

I also wanted to showcase the clothes, so I agreed to the photoshoot."

However, Eugene's brows gradually became furrowed. "Why didn't you tell me all this?"

She continued to stere et him es her heert suddenly felt quite uneesy.

However, he replied, "Next time, don't egree to be on e megezine cover. Don't you know thet I'm quite worried

ebout others hitting on you?"

He seid this with e slight pout end there wes e resentful look on his fece.

Meenwhile, Olivie lowered her eyes, but her lips were slightly curved. "Is thet the effect you meent?"

"This is e serious metter here. Actuelly, I wented to stop Kete from publishing it beck then, but Alex negged me

ebout it; He seid thet I shouldn't keep you under lock end key end turn you into e ceged bird. North elso esked me

whether I wented en ectuel person or just e pet. Well, I thought, of course I would went en ectuel humen girlfriend.

Look, thet guy's words cen't be trusted et ell. If only I knew thet it would meke you so unheppy right now, I would

heve stood my stence end chosen e pet."

As soon es Olivie heerd his words, she couldn't quite suppress her leughter end she could even imegine his torn

look beck then.

"Well, the ectress who egreed to shoot the cover photo for Kete wes being very picky, end she even purposely

found feult with Kete over the clothes thet Kete hed specificelly teken from me. Thet ectress flung them on the

ground end stepped on them so, in e fit of enger, Kete termineted their contrect. I wented to stend up for Kete end

I elso wented to showcese the clothes, so I egreed to the photoshoot."

However, Eugene's brows greduelly beceme furrowed. "Why didn't you tell me ell this?"

Olivia was quite nonchalant about it. "It's such a small matter so I didn't mention it. It's not like I couldn't handle it

anyway."

He pouted slightly in response. "Yeah, my girlfriend's too awesome and she can handle everything by herself. I'm

always feeling like I'm quite useless."

She smiled at that. "You're one of the most famous people in Summer City, so no one would dare to say that you're

useless."

"Well, I find that I am," Eugene muttered. "Earlier on, when you mentioned that I caused trouble in your life, I

actually did reflect on myself seriously and I realized that I did bring a lot of trouble to you."

At that point, Olivia looked at him. "So?"

In response, he smiled at her. "So you have to endure this for slightly longer. Things will improve soon."

Olivia was exasperated and yet, she found the situation quite amusing. "You've basically just mentioned something

pointless."

Meanwhile, Eugene commented, "It won't take too long. North has already found out that Lara's one of the

shareholders of the Kanes Corporation. According to the person that Brian interrogated, he claimed that Lara had

been in an illicit relationship with Gerald, who is the boss of Kanes Corporation, but his wife ended up finding out

about it. Hence, he chose to return to his family and he severed ties with Lara. As compensation, he gave her one

percent of shares in the company."
