Chapter 44


    However, it was Brian’s treat today and she did not dare to decide on his behalf. Hence, she looked


    toward Brian.


    It was fine had Olivia not looked at him, but once she did, she was startled by how he looked. Brian’s


    face seemed gloomy as if a heavy downpour was about to happen. His eyes red furiously at Eugene


    while he pursed the corners of his lips tightly without saying a single word.


    On the other hand, Eugene’s face was indifferent as he looked at Brian and asked, “How’s your body?”


    Brian’s gaze turned haughty; he was theplete opposite from the warm, handsome man he was


    before. “What does it have to do with you?!”


    Olivia was slightly shocked and looked toward Eugene and then at Brian again. What rtion did these


    two have?


    Before she had a proper understanding of the entire situation, Penny opened her mouth and said, “Why


    are you acting like this, brother? Eugene’s concerned about you, so how could you say such things?”


    Soon after, Brian opened his mouth; his tone of voice was chilly as he spoke to Penny. “Don’t call me


    your brother. I don’t have a sister like you!”


    At this moment, Eugene did not wait for Penny to speak. Instead, he continued, “Whether you want to


    recognize her as your sister, you’re still a part of the Nn Family. Mom already passed away a long


    time ago, so it’s better to let go of the past.”


    All of a sudden, Brian became agitated. He then immediately stood up; his eyes were bloodshot as he


    exploded, “If you want to acknowledge this, then, by all means, be my guest. However, I’m not as


    forgetful as you. My mom suffered from so many humiliations and I remember each and every one of


    them. If you''re willing to enjoy all the glory and wealth by licking someone’s boots, then go ahead and


    do it yourself. Please don’te and disgust me with all this! Now, get out of my sight!”


    “What’s so great about you, Brian? Who’s still willing to take care of you?” Penny puffed as she


    dragged Eugene and was about to leave.


    Eugene did not budge. Instead, his eyes felt heavy as he looked at Brian and asked, “Brian, Grandpa is


    sick. Do you have time to visit him?”


    On the other hand, Brian snorted. “He’s your grandpa. You can keep the opportunity to brownnose him


    to yourself!”


    Eugene gave a cold snort. He looked at both Brian and Olivia with intense eyes before leaving with


    Penny.


    As the entire situation unfolded before her, Olivia was stunned. What exactly was happening?


    She carefully looked at Brian and noticed that he was already sitting on the ground. His face remained


    gloomy while his entire body exuded a terrifying hostility.


    “A-Are you okay?”


    Brian took a deep breath and remained silent. Instead, he opened up the candy box Olivia had gifted


    him. He then took out a candy with green wrapping, opened it, and stuffed it into his mouth.


    Olivia did not say anything more and sat quietly opposite him.


    Perhaps it took ten minutes; perhaps it took even longer.


    When Brian was about to finish eating the candy, he slowly opened his mouth and uttered, “He’s my


    elder brother.”


    Olivia was shocked to hear this. “Who are you talking about? Eugene? Are you a part of the Nn


    family too?”

    Brian then continued, “I’m not a part of them since ten years ago.”


    Olivia was stunned again. “Why? Erm, it’s okay if you don’t want to tell me.”


    Brian’s dimmed eyes looked into the distance as if he was recalling the memories from many years


    ago.


    “There’s nothing I can’t talk about. They’re not ashamed of it anyways, so I can just say whatever I


    want to. The rtionship between families of the wealthy is more apathetic. Only self-interests are


    eternal. More than ten years ago, in order to marry Penny’s mother, Lara Roberts, Edward deliberately


    framed my mom for cheating on him so that he could divorce her. In the end, he seeded in doing so


    and managed to force my mom out of the house. I still cannot figure out how a man could be so


    heartless.”


    Olivia was also in disbelief. This man Brian talked about was crueler than her own dad. “Were the


    Roberts wealthy?”


    Brian took a deep breath before adding, “Yes. They’re loaded. Even more so than the Nn Group. I


    was twelve years old that year. Eugene and I knew that our mom was being framed in this incident.


    However, we did not have evidence. Hence, I discussed with Eugene that by the time the divorce rolled


    around, we would have to choose our mom as a way of supporting her. Nheless, I did not expect


    that he would choose to follow Edward after their divorce.”
