Eugene asked, "What's the woman's name?"

Theodore replied, "Her name is Rebecca Walter. She claimed to be Madam's ex-prison mate and shehad just been released a few days ago after finishing serving her sentence. I gave her one hundredthousand to keep this a secret."

Eugene nodded and continued to ask, "How did you replace out about the layout of Promise Island? Whogave you the map?"

Theodore responded, "It was Nicole. A few days ago, Nicole went to visit Madam in prison and Madamgot me to meet Nicole."

At that point, Eugene frowned at the revelation. Never once did he expect that Nicole was the one whohad revealed the layout; he assumed that it was Penny's doing.

"Why did Nicole harbor a grudge against my mom? Is it to seek revenge on me?"

Theodore replied, "The only condition that Nicole wanted to be fulfilled before she provided the mapwas for me to help her kill Olivia. She said that Madam had promised to do that for her. Subsequently,she gave me an extra one million as a reward for completing her mission."

Instantly, it dawned upon Eugene and he realized that in fact, this was not too far from the usual trick.All she had to do was use someone else to do the dirty trick for her. I knew it didn't make sense forNicole to target my mom.

"President Nolan, please let my son go."

Eugene shot Theodore a look. "I will, but it won't be right now." As soon as Eugene came out of theinterview room, he exuded a savage air all over. There was also a cold expression on his face. All ofthem seem to have a death wish!

Suddenly, his phone went off and he took it in his hands to check the caller ID. At a glance, he saw thatit was Brian on the line and he realized that the secret was out.

He slid the screen to answer the call and Brian's voice rang out from the other end. "You guys went toPromise Island again, huh?"

Eugene replied, "Who told you that?"

Meanwhile, Brian snorted. "My men are great at their jobs, alright? How's Mom doing? I've been havingbad dreams for the past few days and in my dreams, Mom was being pursued by thugs. Is she alright?"

Eugene heaved a sigh and replied, "Your dreams are quite accurate. Mom encountered anassassination attempt and she was lucky enough to have Alex and Jewel saved her."

Brian jumped up in fright. "Seriously? Did something actually happen to Mom? How is she? Did you goover two days ago? Why didn't you inform me?"

Initially, Eugene had been concerned that Brian would be frantic with worry since Brian had justrecovered from his illness not long ago. Now that the investigation results were pretty much sorted andtheir Mom was fine too, Eugene finally revealed the details to him.

"Don't panic. Mom's fine. Bring Nicole along when you come over." Subsequently, he added, "InformHayden and Penny to come over too."

"What's going on with them? Are they involved in this matter?"

Eugene responded ambiguously, "Yeah. Don't worry, I've sorted out things, so you shouldn't stress toomuch."

He continued to give further instructions before returning to the villa. He saw that Olivia and North weredownstairs, which was a rare thing to see, so he asked, "Why are the two of you downstairs?"

Olivia responded, "We're waiting for you. What happened?"

He took a deep breath and managed to let go of the savage emotions he harbored before heading overto the mother and son duo. He ruffled North's little head and took Olivia into his arms. Subsequently, hereplied calmly, "Everything's fine."

She glanced at him, slightly perplexed. "If everything is fine, then why are you so grumpy?"

Eugene replied, "I was thinking that if I had stopped my mom from returning to Summer City, then all ofthis wouldn't have happened."

At that moment, Olivia realized that she had been too concerned about the injured couple as well ascomforting Ellen, whom she was regretful to not tag along with. Yet, she forgot about the immensepressure that Eugene was carrying. After all, Ellen was his mother and evidently, he was filled withanger, regret, and guilt.

Olivia ruffled his hair like how she usually comforted North and she asked softly, "Have you found outwho the perpetrator is?"

Eugene nodded. "It was an assassin hired by Lara."

Olivia comforted him, "Don't blame yourself for this. They are the ones who committed the mistake andwe can't possibly remain in hiding for the rest of our lives. Even if Lara didn't encounter your momduring the hearing day, she knew that your mom's alive, so she would definitely replace a way to seek

revenge. The reason for Lara's discontentment and persistence is all because she knew that she willbe able to get away with things eventually. However, if we make sure that the incriminating evidencegets submitted in court for the case to be retried, then we could send her to prison for the rest of herlife. By then, she would have nothing else to look forward to! Lara's too scheming and conniving, so alot of effort would be required to gain enough evidence to put her behind bars. You've done great bygoing along with her plot and then making a move by surprise. In the end, you've managed to put herbehind bars. Eugene, you've done a great job!"
