While Olivia could see what was happening over there, she couldn’t hear what was being said.However, she was still rather surprised. Why didn’t Aleena stay longer with Eugene?

“Olivia, you should go and greet Eugene as well. After all, it’s somewhat impolite to not greet him sinceyou’ve seen him. As my face is now bruised, however, I won’t be accompanying you over,” Kateremarked.

Glancing at Eugene, Olivia noticed that he was still surrounded by a crowd, so she replied, “Nevermind, I’ll wait for you before going over.”

“Why would you wait for me? How am I to go over with such a face?”

Olivia shot her a glare. “Excuses! With such simple thinking, I worry about the future of your magazine.”

Being an astute person herself, a moment of clarity instantly came upon Kate as a light bulb went off inher head at Olivia’s reminder. Eugene Nolan’s influence is even greater than any celebrity or big shot!Pursing her lips, she smirked. “Is this appropriate?”

Olivia shot daggers at her. “We’re just going over to greet him, not doing anything grievous. What’sinappropriate about that?” As she said that, she raised Kate’s chin. “Let me have a look. Hmm, it’smuch better now. Just go and touch up your makeup for a bit!”

It made sense to Kate, so she got up and went to the washroom with Olivia to touch up her makeup.When she came out, her makeup was exquisite, and her bruising wasn’t at all visible unless one trulyscrutinized her face.

At this time, there was still a crowd around Eugene, including those few women who spoke up onLuca’s behalf earlier. Perhaps it was because it was too abrupt that they were heading right at Eugeneor their fuss earlier had attracted attention, but everyone was looking at them at this moment.

While Olivia wasn’t afraid of the scrutiny, she was rather unused to such attention. Leading Kate, shemoved through the crowd and came to the lounge in the lobby. Then, she courteously greeted the manwho was sitting in the middle of the sofa and radiating a strong aura, “Mr. Nolan.”

Everyone was a touch startled upon hearing this, the look in the women’s eyes brimming withcontempt. These two people wish to make friends with Eugene Nolan as well despite having nopopularity, background, or repute? He has already crushed Miss Jones earlier, so these two ladies arejust thick-skinned.

A glimmer of surprise and even delight flitted across Eugene’s eyes. I never thought I’d meet her here.“Miss Maxwell!”

Kate was a tad more nervous compared to Olivia, and she dipped her head a fraction at Eugene. “Mr.Nolan.” Eugene politely inclined his head at her in response. Everyone was dumbfounded. What’shappening here? They’re actually acquainted?

“Come and sit over here!” Eugene beckoned the two of them. Sit? Where are we supposed to sit?Naturally, they were to sit beside him, so Logan again stood up perceptively, but Eugene didn’t protestthis time. Thus, everyone promptly got up like a chain reaction and emptied two spots beside him.

Olivia inclined her head slightly at the crowd and was just a moment away from sitting down whiletugging on Kate’s hand when a woman’s forceful voice rang out at this time. “Who hit my brother?”

At this, everyone looked over in the direction of the voice. A wealthy-looking woman in a branded dresswho appeared to be in her 40s was striding in their direction, her aura fierce and intimidating.

Meanwhile, the man trailing behind her was none other than Luca who’d been kicked to the ground byOlivia earlier.

Olivia’s brows furrowed slightly. Never have I thought this man would actually ask a woman to comeand avenge him. Damn, he’s not a man at all! The disdain within her showed on her face. Instead ofsitting down on the sofa, she remained standing as she stared at the fast-approaching woman.

Kate whispered, “This woman is the president of Grant Group, Harriet Grant. She’s a career womanwho’s been single ever since her divorce. We’re in hot water this time, for this woman is so tough thateven most men don’t dare provoke her.” Olivia nodded imperceptibly. Eugene didn’t move, but hisbrows creased slightly as he kept his eyes on Olivia’s situation.
