Chapter 636
Curtis responded again.
How arrogant! The surveillance footage too? There were still scenes of Lara being slapped in the surveillance
footage.
However, Eugene was that arrogant and he obviously didn't care at all!
Both Edward and Lara were heartbroken.
When they first arrived in the morning, they were full of enthusiasm and thought they could become the presidents
of the Nolan Group.
Unexpectedly, in just a few hours, they were reduced to being prisoners.
After they were taken away, the meeting room fell silent.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEugene looked at everyone and ordered in slight exhaustion, "Dismissed!"
Everyone got up and left the conference room.
"Uncle Richard, can you please send Grandpa back?"
Richard responded with a hum.
Merlin reached out and patted Eugene's shoulder without saying anything. He looked at Olivia and warned, "Olivia,
stay with him here."
Olivia responded, "Okay, Grandpa, don't worry!"
Only their family of three remained in the huge conference room after everyone left.
However, Eugene had been sitting still with his head down, not saying a word. He didn't feel as refreshed as he
thought he would be after taking revenge, nor did he feel relieved.
Instead, an inexplicable sourness poured into his eyes. He pinched the area between his eyebrows with his fingers
and calmly wiped the tears that overflowed from his eyes. Even so, he tried to pretend to be okay.
However, Olivia saw it at a glance and felt a little distressed. This involved his mother and father, and no matter
how decisive he was, he still couldn't bear it in the end.
Although his father had angered and disappointed him so much, he still had patience to put forward the evidence
one by one to show him Lara's true character.
Then again, if one didn’t have any hope, how could one be disappointed?
She stood up and hugged Eugene. Without saying anything, she stroked his head with her fingers.
North was frustrated—did Olivia think Eugene was him? Why was this similar to the posture of her hugging him?
Eugene didn't feel anything different and he stretched out with his arms to hug her waist, sticking closer to her.
North was instantly speechless.
"Don't be sad, don't be sad. It's not worth it!" Olivia seemed to be grooming a lion. "You still have me, and North. We
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwill be with you!"
To that, Eugene responded lightly. "I was thinking about how my mother felt when she was framed by the two of
them and couldn't testify. There was always despair. Later on, when we learned that everything had been directed
by Edward, how sad she must've been?! That's her husband, the man she loves the most."
Olivia said, "It's all over; you have avenged her. Your father will live with guilt for the rest of his life in the future,
which in itself isn’t a light punishment."
Eugene sneered. "What kind of punishment is this? It doesn't hurt or even itches at all. He has no heart. If he does,
when faced with so much evidence, he will not still stand up for Lara Roberts."
"I think this may just be a habit. It's just like me; if someone speaks ill of me, you always support me and believe
me, even if all the evidence points to me. So it’s the same for your dad. He truly likes Lara, so it's not that he
doesn't believe you, but it's that he habitually protects her. Too many things have happened today, so you have to
give him some time to digest them."
When he didn't say anything, she continued, "Don't be disappointed, or think that it's not worth it for your mother.
Your mother also said that she just chose a man who doesn't love her. Now that your father has also seen Lara's
true character, I believe he will understand!"
