Edward sighed soundlessly. “Don’t take it to heart. The child is still young. She will understand your good intentions
once she’s older.”
Lara asked again, “She has hematophobia?”
“I never knew that either. She never said anything whenever she came home,” he said. “Stop forcing her on this.
Let her be with whomever she wants to be with. It’s just as she said; be it good or bad, it’s her choice.
She retorted, “Do you think I want to force her? We can’t count on Ben anymore. Besides, she’s being so stubborn.
If Eugene and Brian joined hands, combined with the support of Old Man Nolan, we won’t have any chance of
winning anymore!”
He replied, “We just have to prevent them from joining hands then.”
Upon hearing those words, Lara glanced at him doubtfully. “Do you have a solution?”
Edward said, “Don’t you have a trump card?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBrian had been receiving treatment for half a month now. Sure enough, his body was getting better by the day. He
could clearly feel it. Besides, he no longer suffered from headaches anymore. I can’t believe the chronic illness that
has been plaguing me for more than 20 years has been cured by Olivia in half a month! She truly is a genius doctor.
What I find even more extraordinary is that I can peacefully live with Eugene under one roof!
Today, he had specially bought some meat because he was craving some braised pork in brown sauce. It wasn’t a
luxurious dish. However, the main point was that he had not eaten it even once during his stay at their house during
this half a month. This was a dish he had before when he was younger. Thus, he felt like eating it. So, he wanted to
ask Eugene to make it for him.
Buying the meat had caused some delays. For that reason, it was already pretty late by the time he arrived at Muse
Peninsula. As he opened the car door to get out of the car, he bumped into a man who was passing by with his
head lowered. The man immediately lifted his head after being knocked into and snarled, “F*ck! Don’t you have
eyes?!”
However, when he saw Brian, he immediately lowered his head, pulled the brim of his baseball cap down over his
eyes, and wanted to continue on his way.
For a moment, Brian was frozen in shock. A face he would never forget even if he died—a face he had been
searching for more than ten years—had suddenly appeared right in front of him. Thus, he instinctively reached out
to grab him. “Wait—”
If the man had not tried to run, Brian might have thought that he had mistaken the man for somebody else.
However, the moment that man started running, he became certain—that man was the drunk driver that killed his
mother back then. That man had been sentenced to imprisonment for three and a half years. In the first place,
Brian had no intention of letting him off so easily. To his surprise, that man had been released from prison early.
Despite all his efforts in searching for that man through all sorts of connections and methods, that man had
vanished into thin air. I can’t believe I ran into him here!
The man immediately broke away from Brian’s restraint and ran away in a hurry. Brian didn’t even bother to close
the car door as he chased after the man. “Stop!”
Their chase lasted for more than ten minutes across the community. At last, the chase ended after Brian managed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto catch the man. He was so tired that he was panting heavily. Even so, he immediately threw a punch at the man’s
head. “Why did you try to run away?! Do you know how many years I’ve been searching for you?!”
The man brought his arms up above his head to protect himself. “Stop; please stop hitting me! That incident
occurred so many years ago. Besides, I’ve already been punished for what I did. What else do you want from me?!”
Brian sneered, “Stop hitting you?! I’m going to kill you!” As he spoke, he punched the man again, and the man was
knocked to the ground.
The man was dumbfounded for a moment, then he tried to get up to escape. He staggered to his feet, swaying
unsteadily. Before he could run, Brian kicked him to the ground again. This cycle repeated itself four to five times.
After that, the man finally gave up; he just lay on the ground and breathed hard. The man was like a fish thrown out
of the water—gasping for air with his mouth wide open.
Brian stared down at the man dubiously. “Tell me; under whose orders were you acting at the time of the
accident?!”
The man replied, “I wasn’t working for anybody! It happened because I was drunk!”
Afterward, Brian didn’t say anything else. Instead, he grabbed the man, stuffed him into the car, and drove to Blue
Sky Tower. At the same time, he called his subordinates and entered the place from the back door. The man was in
a panic and was stumbling as he was dragged around by Brian. As soon as he entered the place and saw what was
inside, his legs gave way under him—it looked like a torture chamber.
