Chapter 78


    While Olivia could see what was happening over there, she couldn’t hear what was being said.


    However, she was still rather surprised. Why didn’t Aleena stay longer with Eugene?


    “Olivia, you should go and greet Eugene as well. After all, it’s somewhat impolite to not greet him since


    you’ve seen him. As my face is now bruised, however, I won’t be apanying you over,” Kate


    remarked.


    ncing at Eugene, Olivia noticed that he was still surrounded by a crowd, so she replied, “Never


    mind, I’ll wait for you before going over.”


    “Why would you wait for me? How am I to go over with such a face?”


    Olivia shot her a re. “Excuses! With such simple thinking, I worry about the future of your magazine.”


    Being an astute person herself, a moment of rity instantly came upon Kate as a light bulb went off in


    her head at Olivia’s reminder. Eugene Nn’s influence is even greater than any celebrity or big shot!


    Pursing her lips, she smirked. “Is this appropriate?”


    Olivia shot daggers at her. “We’re just going over to greet him, not doing anything grievous. What’s


    inappropriate about that?” As she said that, she raised Kate’s chin. “Let me have a look. Hmm, it’s


    much better now. Just go and touch up your makeup for a bit!”


    It made sense to Kate, so she got up and went to the washroom with Olivia to touch up her makeup.


    When she came out, her makeup was exquisite, and her bruising wasn’t at all visible unless one truly


    scrutinized her face.


    At this time, there was still a crowd around Eugene, including those few women who spoke up on


    Luca’s behalf earlier. Perhaps it was because it was too abrupt that they were heading right at Eugene


    or their fuss earlier had attracted attention, but everyone was looking at them at this moment.


    While Olivia wasn’t afraid of the scrutiny, she was rather unused to such attention. Leading Kate, she


    moved through the crowd and came to the lounge in the lobby. Then, she courteously greeted the man


    who was sitting in the middle of the sofa and radiating a strong aura, “Mr. Nn.”


    Everyone was a touch startled upon hearing this, the look in the women’s eyes brimming with


    contempt. These two people wish to make friends with Eugene Nn as well despite having no


    poprity, background, or repute? He has already crushed Miss Jones earlier, so these twodies are


    just thick-skinned.


    A glimmer of surprise and even delight flitted across Eugene’s eyes. I never thought I’d meet her here.


    “Miss Maxwell!”


    Kate was a tad more nervouspared to Olivia, and she dipped her head a fraction at Eugene. “Mr.


    Nn.” Eugene politely inclined his head at her in response. Everyone was dumbfounded. What’s


    happening here? They’re actually acquainted?


    “Come and sit over here!” Eugene beckoned the two of them. Sit? Where are we supposed to sit?


    Naturally, they were to sit beside him, so Logan again stood up perceptively, but Eugene didn’t protest


    this time. Thus, everyone promptly got up like a chain reaction and emptied two spots beside him.


    Olivia inclined her head slightly at the crowd and was just a moment away from sitting down while


    tugging on Kate’s hand when a woman’s forceful voice rang out at this time. “Who hit my brother?”

    At this, everyone looked over in the direction of the voice. A wealthy-looking woman in a branded dress


    who appeared to be in her 40s was striding in their direction, her aura fierce and intimidating.


    Meanwhile, the man trailing behind her was none other than Luca who’d been kicked to the ground by


    Olivia earlier.


    Olivia’s brows furrowed slightly. Never have I thought this man would actually ask a woman toe


    and avenge him. Damn, he’s not a man at all! The disdain within her showed on her face. Instead of


    sitting down on the sofa, she remained standing as she stared at the fast-approaching woman.


    Kate whispered, “This woman is the president of Grant Group, Harriet Grant. She’s a career woman


    who’s been single ever since her divorce. We’re in hot water this time, for this woman is so tough that


    even most men don’t dare provoke her.” Olivia nodded imperceptibly. Eugene didn’t move, but his


    brows creased slightly as he kept his eyes on Olivia’s situation.
