Chapter 629
Lara yelled, "Stop with the nonsense! What evidence do you have?"
However, her words just sounded like a dog barking, as everyone simply ignored her.
Everyone had their gazes fixed on Edward, who hadn't said a word in a long while. Indeed, if Ellen had set the fire to
capture his heart, then why was he grateful to Lara?
It was because after Lara returned, Edward still didn't manage to get a divorce, so Ellen drugged him and they
ended up having Brian. Because of this preconceived impression, he accepted Lara's provocation and hated Ellen
to the core, feeling that his life had been ruined by her to the point where he didn't like Eugene and Brian. He
disliked Brian, in particular, because he felt that it was a betrayal toward Lara.
However, he never thought that the woman was probably just using that method to keep him by her side.
What had he done?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe plotted a scene of Ellen cheating and forced her to divorce him and she even ended up dying at Lara's hands.
Lara was the one who directed that scene and Edward had liked her even more because of that scene where he
didn't think he could live without her.
For so many years, he had been spoiling her and treating her as his savior, but how was he supposed to believe her
now?
No matter how capable Eugene was, it was impossible for him to look for so many people to speak for him. The
disappointment Edward felt was magnified. What he thought was affection and righteousness turned out to just be
a conspiracy.
He stared at Lara with red-rimmed eyes. "You staged the entire incident and pitted her against me. Even if you
wanted to be with me, why did you kill Ellen? We were already divorced!"
Lara initially wanted to make up more lies, but seeing that Edward already believed it, she simply gave up and
sneered. "It's hard to guarantee that you won't rekindle your old feelings. Ellen is so shameless, and she even
stalked you at school. I was better rest assured when she was dead."
Edward was immediately filled to the brim with anger as he pointed a finger at her. "Y-You're so heartless!"
Eugene snorted. His method was much simpler than what Edward planned as he instantly gave the bodyguard a
look.
The bodyguard immediately understood and slapped Lara twice across the face.
The sound of her being slapped truly relieved Eugene's anger.
"Eugene, how dare you hit me!" Lara shouted angrily.
He let out a cold laugh. "If I hear you insult my mother again, you'll be getting more than these two slaps!"
With that, he stood up and walked to Nigel and Hannah before thanking politely, "Mr. Lowe, Mrs. Lowe, thank you
for coming here for my mother's sake. If you're tired, you can head back and rest first. I'll treat you both to a meal
tomorrow."
"Okay," Nigel responded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEugene ordered his men to bring the witnesses out first.
Everyone slowly left the conference room. After all the outsiders had left, whatever happened within closed doors
were the affairs of the Nolan Family.
The somewhat bustling environment earlier became quiet in an instant.
He sat back in place and looked at Edward. "Is there anything else you want to say?"
For some reason, Edward felt guilty. "I didn't know she did so many things."
Eugene was reluctant to let him off the hook and wanted him to take a stand. "Now that you know, what are you
going to do?"
Edward shot Lara a slightly bitter look, then sighed helplessly. "Whatever you want. She only made such a mistake
because she cares too much about me!"
To that, Eugene chuckled and abruptly leaned back against his chair. His eyes were filled with disappointment, and
he felt as if he had been sapped of vitality.
After knowing that Lara had done so many bad deeds, Edward was still speaking up for her.
