Chapter 99 An Amusing News
With a grin, Eugene said, “You’re most welcome. They chose to cooperate with your magazine
publisher simply because they think there’s potential in helping them to generate more sales, which is
basically a win-win collaboration for both, so don’t mention it.”
Hearing that, Kate was so touched and even had the sudden urge to sell off Olivia. “Thank you for all
that you’ve done. In the future, if there’s anything that requires our help, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Olivia is very capable! She’s nice and has such a pleasant personality. It’s simply a great blessing to be
friends with her!”
Picking up a fishball, Olivia threw it into Kate’s bowl. “Eat up!” she ordered, hinting her to keep her
mouth shut.
“Exactly, you’ve gotta keep a low profile. Don’t go overboard,” ridiculed Nathan.
Picking up another prawn ball, Olivia dumped it into Nathan’s bowl and warned, “Shut up and eat up
too!” These two just wouldn’t quit embarrassing me…
With the corner of his mouth curved up, Eugene really enjoyed the free and unrestrained atmosphere.

Putting on a smile, Olivia said, “Then I guess all of you have to treat me better. Otherwise, I’ll take back
all the blessings!”
Being nomophobic, Kate was browsing on her phone when all of a sudden, she burst out laughing
while taking a peek at Eugene.
“What are you laughing at?” Nathan asked.
“Take a look at this.” Kate passed her phone to Nathan, and he laughed like a drain too.
Glaring at them, Olivia complained, “Why are you two laughing among yourselves? Sharing is caring!”
“Two naked men were tied by the Jordan Bridge and were seen freezing in the cold throughout the
night. Oh my, I’m about to die laughing!” Nathan guffawed as he wiped the tears off his eyes.
Laughing along, Kate jested, “Aren’t they afraid that it will cause an accident? Since the drivers will be
busy checking them out instead of paying attention on the road.”
Rolling her eyes at them, Olivia said, “What’s so funny about that?”
Throughout the conversation, Eugene didn’t utter a word. He was busy eating, as though the news
mentioned had got nothing to do with him.
When the dinner was coming to an end, everyone was a little tipsy.
Both Nathan and Kate couldn’t hold their drink. After drinking a couple of rounds, both of them had
reached their limits. If Eugene hadn’t been around, they would’ve probably been having a live concert
and singing their hearts out already.
Eugene was better at handling alcohol, but he gradually felt a little tipsy too. If compared with Olivia, he
was no match at all.
Noticing the light flashed on his cell phone, Eugene knew Curtis had arrived. Getting up from his seat,
he said, “It’s late, so I’ll make a move now. Drop me a call if there’s anything.”
“Alright,” Olivia replied politely and didn’t stop him from leaving.
Trying to stay sober, Nathan and Kate got up to send Eugene off and, later, took their leave too.
Upon sending them off, Olivia ushered North the sleepyhead into his room and got out to clean up the
table.
After spending an hour clearing up the whole mess, Olivia went into her room. While browsing on her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmphone, she read the news which Kate had mentioned about the two men.
It was a 10 seconds video, and the image quality was rather clear. At first sight, Olivia could recognize
that it was the exact two men who came to her house with Robin—the men with bad intentions.
If she didn’t know it was the both of them, she would have thought there was nothing amusing about
this news.
Somehow, she had a gut feeling that it was Eugene’s doings.
Initially, when Eugene handed Robin over to Aleena today as a warning, she was puzzled for a moment
because she didn’t see the other two men with him. Quelle surprise! They were on the bridge. Eugene
did not spare anyone.
Olivia couldn’t find words to describe her current feelings.
After returning here for some time, he did have some misconceptions about her character, but putting
that aside, he seemed to be helping her all the time—from solving the kid’s fighting issues to yesterday
night’s ceremony, as well as defending her from Robin.
She knew very well that his intention was to repay the kindness, all because she had saved his
grandpa. Hence, he made every effort to help her. Frankly speaking, she was really touched by all he
had done.
