âEugene!â After the taunt from Eugene, Edward growled, âHow dare you talk to me like this?â
With sarcasm in his smile, Eugene sneered. âCanât stand it, can you? You said that my mother sowed discord between us, but I am not blind; I can see the truth. Edward, I will ensure that youâll reap what you sow for what you did to my mother.â
Edward frowned, trying to hold back his anger. âEven if Iâve hurt your mother, and youâll have your revenge on me, what does it have to do with Lara? Why the rivalry with the Roberts Family?â
Eugene didnât want to risk exposing his plan, so he sat back in the chair and regained his willfulness. âI said it was a business competition. Iâm not stopping her from competing with the Nolan Group either!â
Shaking his head, Edward said, âI see that youâre determined to fight against me. I hope you wonât regret it.â
Upon hearing that, Eugene curled his lips into at sneer. âI could say the same to you, Edward Nolan. I will make sure that it is painful for you!â Edward nodded fiercely. âOkay, since thatâs the case, donât blame me for not treating you as a son then.â
Eugene retorted, âThatâs fair. Then again, youâve never treated me as your son all these years.â Edward was so angry that his blood pressure was soaring, and then he cursed fiercely.
âUngrateful b*stard.â After that, he walked away. Finally, Eugene stared at the back of Edward as he left. The muscles on his body couldnât seem to relax.
Every time Eugene spoke to Edward, he needed. a great deal of self-control to not hurt Edward. Especially when Edward defended Lara, Eugene wished that he could kill Edward straight away, finishing him off once and for all.
Suddenly, his hand was covered by a soft little hand, accompanied by a childish voice. âPlease donât be angry. Heâs gone.â
Only then did Eugene remember that the child. had been in the room. He breathed a sigh of relief and instantly relaxed. âMy son.â
Then, he bent over and hugged North. âAlright, Iâm not angry anymore. Letâs go home. What do you want to eat tonight?â In response, North said, âLetâs have dinner with. Nate. Since he broke up with Godmother, no one is ensuring that he ate well anymore.â
Eugene replied, âOkay.â
Nathan was stunned to receive Eugeneâs call. He was worried that his uncle would be lecturing him, so he nervously went to the restaurant where they had made an appointment.
The place was a private restaurant, and the decoration was exquisite. The people who came to eat here were usually the wealthy.
Eugene had reserved a private room on the second floor. As Nathan came up, he ran into Gwen, who was also dining there with her friends. She was surprised to see Nathan. âNate, are you here to meet me?â
In response, Nathan said, âAh, no. Iâm here with my friends. Do continue.â
After he finished speaking, Nathan was about to leave. However, Gwen stopped him and asked, âWho are your friends? Why donât we join tables?â
Facing the proposal, Nathan frowned, and he could only answer vaguely, âThatâs not very convenient.â Gwen replied with a disappointed face, âThatâs fine, then.â
As Nathan passed by a private room, he heard a familiar female voice from inside, causing his footsteps to stop instinctively. If Iâm not wrong, this is Kateâs voice.
At the thought of that, Nathan could feel his heart palpitating in panic and throbbing. He hadnât had this complicated feeling for years. At this moment, he was debating whether to happily meet her or to fearfully avoid her. Looking at Nathan standing still in surprise, Gwen asked, âWhat happened, Nate?â
Regaining his senses, Nathan answered vaguely, âItâs fine.â He was just about to leave when he heard Kateâs anxious voice in the private room. âPresident Cook, please conduct yourself.â
Upon hearing that, Nathan stopped as his face quickly fell. In fact, the private room door was shut, so he couldnât hear properly, and he definitely didnât know what was going on inside. As such, he stayed behind and stood at the door, trying to listen again.
