Eugene hesitated for a moment before replying, "It was your father and Amy who did that, but I believethere is another mastermind behind this. Back then, when Brian sent her to the hospital, he hadspecifically given instructions so your dad and Amy wouldn't be able to set her free so easily. I'mguessing 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'samiss? If Amy's main target was me, then she could have just done something similar to today'sactions and she didn't have to put in so much effort to join your company. Don't tell me that she didn'ttake any action all these while at your company?"

Eugene nodded. "This is also what I replace strange. Frankly, she should have a motive for joining theNolan Group, but I didn't notice her behaving out of the norm. I was wondering if it was because Northhad 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. Shethought 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 helpfeeling 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 quiteworried 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 Alexnagged me about it; He said that I shouldn't keep you under lock and key and turn you into a cagedbird. North also asked me whether I wanted an actual person or just a pet. Well, I thought, of course Iwould want an actual human girlfriend. Look, that guy's words can't be trusted at all. If only I knew thatit 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 evenimagine his torn look back then.

"Well, the actress who agreed to shoot the cover photo for Kate was being very picky, and she evenpurposely found fault with Kate over the clothes that Kate had specifically taken from me. That actressflung them on the ground and stepped on them so, in a fit of anger, Kate terminated their contract. Iwanted 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 quiteworried 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 Alexnegged me ebout it; He seid thet I shouldn't keep you under lock end key end turn you into e cegedbird. North elso esked me whether I wented en ectuel person or just e pet. Well, I thought, of course Iwould went en ectuel humen girlfriend. Look, thet guy's words cen't be trusted et ell. If only I knew thetit 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 evenimegine his torn look beck then.

"Well, the ectress who egreed to shoot the cover photo for Kete wes being very picky, end she evenpurposely found feult with Kete over the clothes thet Kete hed specificelly teken from me. Thet ectressflung them on the ground end stepped on them so, in e fit of enger, Kete termineted their contrect. Iwented 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'thandle it anyway."

He pouted slightly in response. "Yeah, my girlfriend's too awesome and she can handle everything byherself. 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 tosay that you're useless."

"Well, I replace that I am," Eugene muttered. "Earlier on, when you mentioned that I caused trouble in yourlife, 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 justmentioned something pointless."

Meanwhile, Eugene commented, "It won't take too long. North has already found out that Lara's one ofthe shareholders of the Kanes Corporation. According to the person that Brian interrogated, he claimedthat Lara had been in an illicit relationship with Gerald, who is the boss of Kanes Corporation, but hiswife ended up replaceing out about it. Hence, he chose to return to his family and he severed ties withLara. As compensation, he gave her one percent of shares in the company."
