Chapter 142
It was no wonder that Olivia was so cold and resolute on the stage that day. How disappointed must she be to burst
into a rage?
In that instant, Eugene felt guilty for failing in his attempt to find out the culprit as he remained silent and looked at
her.
Olivia frowned and wondered why the garrulous Nathan never asked her any question.
When she doubtfully lowered her arm and saw the tall man by the bed, she was stunned. It’s no wonder that
Nathan never said a word. He isn’t here at all!
“Shouldn't you be busy today? Why are you here?”
Without saying a word, Eugene directly took a seat beside the bed. “I’m done with work.”
Gazing at him, Olivia questioned doubtfully, “Have you found the driver?”
Eugene took a deep breath helplessly and answered, “Yes, the driver confessed that it was Luca who told him to do

Hearing that, Olivia was flabbergasted. “He’s dead? Who did it?”
Eugene replied, “On the surface, his death was caused by an overdose of stimulants.”
Olivia finished his words for him, “But in reality, someone killed him and shifted the blame to him.”
He flashed a smile at her. As an intelligent woman, she could figure it out even if he never said it clearly.
Olivia laughed in self-mockery. “Who is so resentful of me to the point where the person wants me dead?”
Her inadvertent words stunned Eugene as he suddenly recalled what Brian said to him. If you want her to be safe,
stay away from her.
But… will she really be safe if I stay away from her?
Since the culprit wasn’t arrested yet, there was still hidden danger. Olivia was exposed, while the culprit was still
hidden. It wasn’t certain when the person would harm Olivia again.
Could I really protect her?
“It’s because of me that you’ve fallen into danger!”
Olivia didn’t know how to respond to his sudden self-blame. Why does he start blaming himself when I’m not
harmed yet?
“Do you know who did it?”
Eugene shook his head. Although he was suspicious of a few people, it was pointless since he had no concrete
evidence.
Olivia consoled, “Don’t blame yourself yet since we don’t know who the culprit is. In fact, I have many enemies as
well. Since the person is afraid of our investigation, I don’t think he is very bold, so you don’t have to be worried!”
Worried? I suppose he’s worried about me, hence his apologetic gaze.
Eugene flashed a smile at her. Why is she such a good person?
“Aren’t you afraid?”
Olivia snorted fearlessly, “Why should I be afraid? I’m not a pushover, okay?”
Eugene nodded and replied seriously, “No, you’re not a pushover. Don’t worry. I’ll stand by your side.”
Olivia burst into laughter. “Are you sure?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes, I’m sure.”
Eugene smiled at her and remarked, “Please smile more. You look great when you smile.”
Olivia pursed her lips in embarrassment. What does he mean by this? Why does he keep saying such intimate-
sounding words to me?
“Where’s Nathan?”
Eugene replied, “I told him to go back as he has to fetch the kid later.”
Olivia mumbled and fell into silence, which caused the conversation to end just like this.
A while later, she said, “Mr. Nolan, please go back as Kate will arrive shortly. Moreover, I’m fine now, so you don’t
have to be worried.”
Eugene took a deep breath. Why does she always chase me away?
“It’s fine. I will leave when she arrives.”
Olivia thought to herself that if he stayed there any longer, she would be utterly embarrassed.
“Do you want to eat an apple? I will peel it for you,” Eugene held an apple in his hand and inquired.
Hearing that, Olivia’s lips curved into a smile as she recalled the first time Eugene peeled an apple for her kid at her
home. The apple turned out to be a mess.
Does he seriously want to peel an apple for me now?
