Chapter 8 The Second Time—Unrepentant
When that price came out, the entire bar buzzed with gossip. All eyes were on them, looking at them
with an expression that seemed to say ‘are you crazy?’.
How could they raise the price of an item from 500,000 to 100 million? Don’t you need to cough up the
money for the price you bid?
Putting aside the spectators, even the battle-hardened auctioneer couldn’t help trembling. This was the
most expensive item that had ever been sold at auction during his tenure.
“100 million going once… 100 million going twice…”
Kate was stunned for a long while. Then, she was pulled back to the present by Olivia’s actions. “Olivia,
do you have 100 million?”
Olivia replied confidently, “Nope.”

“Nathan has it. Besides, this Wuyou San formula will be used for his great-grandpa. So, the money will
come from him.”
“But, Nathan has left!”
Olivia mulled over it and agreed. After that, she turned around to look at the adorable little boy. “North,
how much money do we have left?”
North took a sip of his milk and calmly replied, “We definitely don’t have 100 million.”
By then, Kate was so scared that she didn’t even dare to breathe. It’s 100 million! If that man refuses to
increase his bid, then we have to come up with that money ourselves! Where are we going to come up
with 100 million? Isn’t Olivia worried?”
The smile on Eugene’s face was becoming wider and wider, blurring the lines between ridicule and
insult. However, he did not increase his bid, and the auctioneer was calling out for the third and final
time.
On the other hand, Olivia quietly stared up at him without giving in even an inch.
Everyone could tell that these two were going up against each other. Thus, all eyes spontaneously
turned toward Eugene right now.
One second; two seconds; three seconds… The silence in the air was so thick that one could have
heard a pin drop in that room.
Just when everybody thought that he wasn’t going to increase his bid anymore, that man with more
money than sense lifted his sign leisurely. “110 million.”
She glared at him fiercely and did not call out another bid. At the same time, she let out a breath of
relief too. Then, she bent down, picked up the little guy sitting in his seat, and walked out of the bar.
Although the Wuyou San formula was amazing, it could not compare to her medical skills. She knew
exactly what Nathan’s great-grandpa’s illness was, and it was something she could cure.

North wrapped his tender arms around her neck. “Mommy, don’t be angry. It will make you age faster.”
Olivia nodded in reply. “My precious son is still the most caring of them all.”
Afterward, Kate sent the mother-and-son pair back to the La Grande Maison and returned home.
However, as soon as North got back to his room, he immediately sat in front of the computer again.
Olivia was rather exasperated by his behavior. My son’s love for computers is already bordering on
addiction at this point. Who could have imagined that the master hacker, Wily Rabbit, who came and
went freely across the internet, would be a child of no more than seven years old?
After Olivia fell asleep, North’s expression darkened again,
Today, that unreliable daddy of mine made Mommy mad again. I can’t even bring myself to make
Mommy angry; how dare he? Who does he think he is?
Thus, his small hands nimbly flew across the keyboard, and he successfully infiltrated the Nolan
Group’s internal system again. This time, he arrogantly left a four-syllable word—unrepentant.
