Chapter 709
Eugene fell into contemplation upon hearing that. Logically speaking, even if he sued Lara, Penny did not have the
guts to kill Olivia. Furthermore, Andy mentioned that she was going to use Olivia as her leverage, which would not
pose a threat to Olivia's life.
Indeed, the puzzles were not fitting.
Olivia suggested, "You should observe Penny's expression when you meet her later."
He hummed. "Okay, I will. Still, I can't believe you're even thinking about your potential enemy in this kind of
situation."
"Well, we mustn't wrong the innocent."
"Innocent? She's the one blabbering on and on without thinking and berating you for no reason. It's reasonable if
she's the one behind all this."
Half an hour later, Penny was brought over. To be precise, she was seized by two bodyguards along the way here.
In fact, she did not struggle to free herself because she was exhausted from all the squirming a while ago before
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe even arrived here.
She also wanted to know what Eugene was going to do. All she did was feed Olivia the drug. So, how could he take
her life just because of that?
However, she was surprised to see Olivia lying wearily in bed. Why is she hurt so badly?
The moment Eugene saw her, his countenance dimmed as his gaze morphed into a cold dagger. One single glance
from him was enough to elicit fear.
He rose to his feet and approached her step by step. His towering figure stood in front of her, stifling her breath for
some reason.
"Do you know why you're here?" His voice was tranquil without an undulating emotion, but it pricked her guilty
conscience, for she had not expected things to go this far.
She unconsciously took a few steps back in an attempt to extricate from the pressure. She then shook her head
and feigned calmness while thinking, He might not know that it's me.
However, Eugene's eyes fixated upon her visage. "Andy has confessed everything. It is you!"
Her face was drained of color in surprise as she raised her head to meet his keen eyes. Actually, her action
disappointed him because he held onto the possibility of fabrication, but it seemed like it was in fact Penny's doing.
"I've brought you here to look at her injuries. Don't feel like a victim when you get what you have coming!"
She explained incoherently, "I just wanted to kidnap her so that you will drop the charge. I didn't mean to hurt her.
Who knows how she got herself hurt?"
Eugene gazed at her coldly. "Didn't I warn you not to lay a finger on her?"

"And why should I listen to you? I want you to drop the charge, so why don't you do as I say? It's none of my
business and she got herself into trouble. You're catastrophizing things, Eugene."
Exasperated, he swung his hand to give two slaps on her face with his palm and the back of his hand.
His cold and indifferent voice was that of the water in winter. "Catastrophizing things? She could've died if I was any
second later. If you want to use Olivia to have me drop the charge, stop dreaming. I'll sue you as well."
Due to the pain, Penny shrieked and the grievance in her grew. She kept squirming herself to break free from the
bodyguards. "Eugene Nolan, how dare you! Who are you to slap me?! Scram! I'll tell Grandpa everything about
this!"
His face became grim. "If you pester him again, I won't let you get away from it."
She roared in rage, "I despise you, Eugene Nolan. I hate you! How many times have you beaten me because of
Olivia? I'll kill her. It's either she or I will live!"
As soon as she finished her words, the formidable, murderous aura surged in him. He lifted his leg and sent her
flying out of the room without a second thought.
