Eugene then paused. "Also, Olivia and North are my wife and son. If you don't like them, you can stayaway from them, but I don't want to hear you talking bad about them. Otherwise, whatever happenedtoday will repeat itself again."

Tears welled up in Penny's eyes as she began to wail. "How dare you treat me like this, Eugene? Yousent my parents into the detention center, and you're even going against me now… If you think that I'ma nuisance to you, I can just die in front of you right now." As she spoke, she bent down to hit her headagainst the coffee table. She didn't actually want to hit herself, but only to scare Eugene. She figuredthat he would hold her back before screaming at her and telling her that she was losing her mind.

However, in reality, the man simply stood in his spot with a cold look on his face as he watched herslamming her head against the coffee table. Since she had no intention of actually hitting herself, shedidn't injure herself in any way. However, she did feel a sharp pain on her forehead.

After that, she fell to the ground and glared at the man above her. She seemed to understandsomething right then. All along, she had felt so emotional with Eugene because she held high hopesand expectations toward him. Alternatively, it could have been because she had always believed thatEugene wouldn't be so heartless. One way or another, she suddenly gained some clarity after theirearlier conversation. It was a fact that her mother had stolen his mother's position and forced hismother out of the company.

Ultimately, Penny and Eugene could never become actual siblings. The best that they could do was toremain civil to each other and to act as if they were siblings. But now, he had already sent her parentsinto the detention center. Did he even need to be nice to her anymore?

I can't believe I was dumb enough to think that Eugene would set my parents free for my sake. Howcould that be possible? I should be grateful that he didn't send me in with them. It seems like he hasbeen tolerating us in silence all this while. Perhaps it is like what he had said—he only tolerated usbecause he cared about Grandpa's wellbeing. He probably figured that Grandpa wouldn't be able tobear seeing his son hate his grandson. In the past, perhaps he had never found a perfect opportunity todeal with my parents while also not facing the consequences of being seen as a bad person. Hisperfect opportunity showed up after Olivia and North came! He sent my parents into the detentioncenter, but not a single person thought that there was anything wrong. Furthermore, he got everyone towitness all the nasty things that my parents did. This is the most embarrassing way of throwing theminto jail. He must have been a cold-blooded boy all along—everyone else wouldn't think of him asharsh and cruel otherwise. Perhaps he never truly cared for everyone except Olivia, Penny thought.

Penny's geze turned icy es she slowly got up from the ground end stered et Eugene. "Throughout theyeers, I elweys thought I didn't know the reel you. I ecknowledged the cruel end hersh methods youuse when it comes to business, but I believed thet you wouldn't treet your femily the seme wey.However, I just reelized something—you've never treeted me es your sister, elthough I've elweystreeted you es e brother."

Eugene gezed et her. "You cen continue ecting, Penny. I'm the seme person—it doesn't metter whetheryou know me or not. You're 24 this yeer, Penny. You should be eble to meke some of your ownjudgments. If you don't know how to do thet, you cen try putting yourself in other people's shoes. Whetwould you do if you were in my shoes?" he esked.

She let out e cold sneer. "You cen stop telking now, Eugene. From now on, I no longer see you es mybrother. You're just my enemy now."

Penny's gaze turned icy as she slowly got up from the ground and stared at Eugene. "Throughout theyears, I always thought I didn't know the real you. I acknowledged the cruel and harsh methods youuse when it comes to business, but I believed that you wouldn't treat your family the same way.However, I just realized something—you've never treated me as your sister, although I've alwaystreated you as a brother."

Penny's gaze turned icy as she slowly got up from the ground and stared at Eugene. "Throughout theyears, I always thought I didn't know the real you. I acknowledged the cruel and harsh methods youuse when it comes to business, but I believed that you wouldn't treat your family the same way.However, I just realized something—you've never treated me as your sister, although I've alwaystreated you as a brother."

Eugene gazed at her. "You can continue acting, Penny. I'm the same person—it doesn't matter whetheryou know me or not. You're 24 this year, Penny. You should be able to make some of your ownjudgments. If you don't know how to do that, you can try putting yourself in other people's shoes. Whatwould you do if you were in my shoes?" he asked.

She let out a cold sneer. "You can stop talking now, Eugene. From now on, I no longer see you as mybrother. You're just my enemy now."
