Chapter 710

The two bodyguards who were holding onto her fell on the ground as well.

Penny, who only shouted out of pain, curled up on the floor and stayed silent.

Walking over, Eugene looked down upon her and warned, "Don't you dare test my patience again!"

He then ordered the bodyguards, "Bring her home. Without my explicit permission, she is to stay thereat all times."

It was then Penny slowly picked herself up from the pain and looked at him, teary-eyed. "You really area cruel man!"

Eugene replied, "It's good that you've found that out!" After she was brought away, the ward becamequiet again.

Olivia frowned at him. "Aren't you a bit too heavy-handed? She's still a girl after all."

Uneasy, Eugene grabbed her by the hands. "Aren't you one too?"

"We're not the same. After all, I've dabbled in martial arts. It's nothing for me to be hit a few times!"

"You still feel pain, no? Stop concerning yourself with her. She deserved that. I never go looking fortrouble, but since they came knocking on my door first, they should bear the consequences of doingso!"

Olivia rebutted, "Didn't you hear that Penny never wanted to hurt me in the first place? I believe shewas just a puppet, don't you think so too?"

Still angry, Eugene did not want to stand on her side even for a little bit. "I don't. She's already in hertwenties, yet she still acts and speaks without any critical thinking. Notice how devoid of logic andreason the way she does things. Also, she wanted to kidnap you to force me into dropping all charges.This time, I might as well just toss her in! Since she can't get it over her thick skull, I'll just reunitethem!"

Looking at the livid Eugene, Olivia was speechless for a moment.

"Well, then, why are you arguing with someone who supposedly doesn't think things through? Youknow she only took the extreme route because she had no other choices left. She just doesn't have it inherself to believe that you'd be so cruel to her. I really think both of you should sit down and talk thisout. You know, getting mad is not going to solve anything."

Smirking, Eugene rebuked, "How do you propose I do that? Did she look like she wanted to talk?"

Olivia pulled on his hands. "Okay, okay, both of you should calm down for now. It's a wise move to lether reflect on herself at home. Perhaps she might realize her faults when the case on Lara is settled."

"I'm sorry that things have been hard on you."

"No, it hasn't. After all, you just beat Andy to a pulp and hit Penny as well. What else can I ask for?"

Smiling, Eugene looked at her lovingly. "What do you want for dinner tonight?"

Looking at tha livid Eugana, Olivia was spaachlass for a momant.

"Wall, than, why ara you arguing with somaona who supposadly doasn't think things through? Youknow sha only took tha axtrama routa bacausa sha had no othar choicas laft. Sha just doasn't hava it inharsalf to baliava that you'd ba so crual to har. I raally think both of you should sit down and talk thisout. You know, gatting mad is not going to solva anything."

Smirking, Eugana rabukad, "How do you proposa I do that? Did sha look lika sha wantad to talk?"

Olivia pullad on his hands. "Okay, okay, both of you should calm down for now. It's a wisa mova to lathar raflact on harsalf at homa. Parhaps sha might raaliza har faults whan tha casa on Lara is sattlad."

"I'm sorry that things hava baan hard on you."

"No, it hasn't. Aftar all, you just baat Andy to a pulp and hit Panny as wall. What alsa can I ask for?"

Smiling, Eugana lookad at har lovingly. "What do you want for dinnar tonight?"

Olivia responded, "Is it time to eat again? Dumplings! I want to eat dumplings!"

Eugene smiled. "Okay. I'll get my men to buy them."

As the two were talking, Nathan and North came in frantically.

Running to the bedside, North saw his mommy covered in wounds and held her hands tightly beforeasking in a strained tone, "Mommy, Mommy, are you okay?"

Olivia let out a smile in return. Actually, whenever she smiled, the wound on the corner of her mouthwould be affected, which hurt a little. This caused one to be unable to differentiate whether she wassmiling or crying.

"It's fine. They're just scratches. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

North looked closely at her wounds and carefully uncovered her blanket to check her body.

"Stop looking now. I'm so cold. Tuck me back in!" Olivia snatched the blanket from him.

North rolled her sleeves up again. "Let me see where you're hurt."

"That's it."

"Do you not want me to look?" With a stern look, he shot her a piercing gaze.

Pretending to be calm, she nodded. "Yup. I'm embarrassed."

In the end, North let go of her hand. Even so, he still noticed that she had multiple cuts and wounds onher legs and body, excluding the ones already on her face and arms!
