Eugene then carried on, “I didn’t expect that she would be the doctor hired by Nathan to treat my grandfather and
even she was stunned the moment she saw me. But then again, she still did her work professionally for my
grandfather’s sake and she didn’t hesitate to take the fifty million fees from me.”
Alex guffawed, “Ha ha ha, that does seem like her usual style of doing things! Not only did she manage to keep your
mouth shut, but she also took fifty million from you!”
Hayden taunted him too, “Most importantly, you weren’t pissed off by what she did at all!”
The two buddies of Eugene started mocking him without reservation. Then, Alex suddenly raised his eyebrows
suggestively at him as he remarked, “However, I don’t think you actually suffered any loss by paying her that
amount of money!”
Knowing what he was trying to say, Eugene glared at him with some irritation but at the same time, he couldn’t
help but agree with him because not only did he not suffer any loss, he actually made a great fortune out of the
deal!
At that juncture, the voice of a maid came from outside the room, “Young Master Nolan, it’s time to cut the
birthday cake; Old Man Nolan’s come down to the first floor.”
Eugene acknowledged it before heading downstairs with Alex and Hayden. The living room was already packed with
guests at the moment. On the gigantic screen at the back of a platform on the right side of the living room, slides
that showed the photos of Old Man Nolan together with the rest of the family were playing.
After offering his birthday wishes for Old Man Nolan enthusiastically on the platform, the host invited Old Man
Nolan’s children and grandchildren to the stage to offer their wishes to him too.
Eugene’s usual stern and detached demeanor had returned when he went onstage as the head of the family.
People who didn’t know him well enough could never imagine him to be the smug person he was when he talked
about Olivia just now because the difference between the two was simply too huge.
Having taken over the microphone from the host, he nodded at the guests and started his speech in a crisp voice,
“Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. First of all, I’d like to express my utmost gratitude on behalf of my family to
all of you who made time to be here to celebrate my grandfather’s birthday. Although my grandfather is already a
man at eighty-five, his mind is still sharp and his health is still robust. In fact, that’s the best thing that we hope for
and the greatest wealth for us as his children and grandchildren. Grandpa, you’re the pillar of strength of our family
and you’re the presence that is capable of bringing all of us together. You’re the reason why our family exists and
nothing in this world is more valuable than your presence in our family. Grandpa, I wish you a happy birthday and I
hope the coming years bring even more happiness and health!”
As soon as he ended his speech, he was given a round of thunderous applause by the guests. Old Man Nolan’s eyes
were glistening with a layer of moisture when he heard Eugene’s speech. Staring at his grandson who was in his
prime, he couldn’t help but feel bittersweet wondering how many more years he could stay by his grandson’s side.
After leaving the stage, Eugene made his way to his grandfather. “Grandpa, let’s get on stage to cut your birthday
cake!”
“Okay,” Old Man Nolan responded before heading toward the stage obediently with Eugene’s help.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that juncture, some of the lights in the living room were dimmed while someone was seen pushing a trolley that
carried a ten-tier cake toward the stage. There were two candles in the shape of the numbers ‘8’ and ‘5’ placed on
top of the cake. As the flames of the candles were flickering, the cake looked spectacularly beautiful. Without being
cued, everyone started singing the birthday song while clapping hands.
When the cake was pushed to the platform, Eugene looked at Old Man Nolan and invited, “Grandpa, you should
make the first cut.” With that, he took the cake knife from the maid with which he made the first cut by holding his
grandfather’s hand.
Of course, the first piece of the cake went to Old Man Nolan. They then left it to the maid to distribute the rest of
the cake to the guests. At that moment, everyone was enjoying the cake while offering their heartfelt wishes to Old
Man Nolan.
Eugene, who was worried that his grandpa might get too tired after standing for too long, instructed one of the
maids to help him return to his room. Just as the rest of the guests were getting ready to leave the villa, the huge
screen suddenly flickered as the slides were replaced by a section of CCTV footage which started playing. It seemed
to be showing one of the store rooms in the villa and there was a guy and a woman standing there with their backs
facing the camera. Their conversation could barely be heard.
“Put this in the wine later.”
That sentence successfully drew the attention of the guests in the living room who were getting ready to leave. All
of them stopped in their tracks and turned to stare at the screen.
Eugene, who was standing not far away from the platform, naturally saw the video too. He could even tell that the
voice belonged to Aleena.
