Chapter 426
Eugene sat on the sofa with a gaze that could freeze one to the bones. “What are you thinking?! Your mother is my
mother too! Do you think I would actually send somebody to run down my own mother?!”
On the other hand, Brian’s eyes were covered with a dense layer of mist. “I admit; you might not have meant it.
But, if you didn’t plan out that car accident to gain Lara’s trust, would Mom have died?! No matter what you say,
Mom’s death is related to you. I can understand the reason why you did it, but that doesn’t mean I can forgive you,
Eugene! I will never forgive you!”
Eugene took several deep breaths repeatedly. This is driving me nuts! All of a sudden, he stood up and smacked his
hand against Brian’s neck. Then, Brian crumpled onto the sofa.
Staring at Eugene suspiciously, Olivia asked, “What are you doing?”
Then, he leaned back against the sofa tiredly and lazily spat out, “He’s annoying!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe sighed quietly. Aware that he was in a bad mood, she left him alone. Instead, she took out her needles and
started performing acupuncture on Brian. Today was his last day of treatment, thus, she couldn’t let all her efforts
go to waste.
On the other hand, North glanced at Eugene before glancing at Olivia. After that, he turned around and went back
to his room. What on earth is going on? I’m going to investigate this. Logging into the Will-o'-Wisp Headquarters’
website, he searched the archives for the report Lone Wolf created after investigating the incident back then.
The reason why the Will-o'-Wisp Headquarters had managed to survive for such a long time without weakening was
that it truly was a mysterious and secret organization. Aside from that, it was also because it held information on
everybody. There was nothing the Will-o'-Wisp couldn’t find—it was simply a matter of whether or not they were
interested to find it in the first place.
For example, if other people could search and obtain information from ten years ago, then the Will-o'-Wisp
Headquarters was capable of searching up information reaching twenty years back. For that reason, many fought
to join the team and even went so far as to spare no effort to build a good relationship with the Will-o'-Wisp
Headquarters. Leaving aside the five core leaders of the team that included North, even just interacting with a
normal member of the team was a great honor.
North’s small fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed furiously. Soon, he found it—the pictures and relevant
information relating to the car accident back then.
On the 5th of August, a multi-vehicle collision occurred on Jennings Street due to slippery roads caused by rain. A
black van had collided with a taxi, which had a female passenger in it. The female passenger was heavily injured in
the accident and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Unfortunately, she later passed away at the
hospital. According to the police investigation, the accident was caused by a drunk driver.
After reading that, North’s expression became solemn. Then, he investigated the background of the driver. The
driver’s name was Isaac Black and he worked directly under Eugene. On that day, he drove under the influence of
alcohol and caused the accident. After the incident, he was sentenced to imprisonment for three and a half years.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was released early because of good behavior. There was also a picture of Eugene kneeling in front of the
hospital bed at the hospital.
By now, North was scowling fiercely. Could it be that my daddy masterminded this incident? Thus, he continued to
investigate further, refusing to believe that Eugene was behind the incident. It wasn’t until he came across a new
piece of information that a smile appeared on his face…
In the living room, Olivia finished performing acupuncture on Brian and looked at Eugene. He had been silent all this
while and was covering his eyes with his arm. At that moment, he looked very vulnerable. It was a side of him that
she had never seen before. Sitting beside him, she asked, “Do you want to talk to me about it?”
However, Eugene did not say anything. Even so, the image of North and Olivia standing in front of him and
protecting him flashed across his mind all of a sudden. It made him feel like crying again. So, he reached out and
hugged her tight, burying his head in her neck. “Olivia!”
Meanwhile, she allowed him to hold her. His large hands patted her on the back lightly. Then, she lightly comforted
him, “It’s okay. If you don’t want to say anything, then don’t.”
Again, he didn’t say anything for a long time. After a while, Olivia said, “If you don’t want to talk, you should go back
and rest. We can leave everything until tomorrow.”
However, Eugene didn’t want to go home. Instead, the arm he wrapped around her tightened considerably.
