Chapter 79


    Luca murmured to Harriet, “Miss Harriet, that’s the woman who came up to me and kicked me to the


    ground for no reason.”


    Without even sparing anyone else a look, Harriet stared fixedly at Olivia and strode up to her. “You’re


    quite savage, huh?”


    The corners of her lips twitching, Olivia patiently exined, “I’m not savage. I feel just the same way


    you’re feeling right now. You came over to retaliate on behalf of your friend just as I retaliated on behalf


    of my friend. He started the incident.”


    Snorting, Harriet demanded fiercely, “So, you’re saying that it was my brother’s fault?”


    Olivia, on the other hand, remained smiling. “Nothing is ever incidental.”


    “Miss Harriet, it’s that woman who hit me first,” Luca whispered into Harriet’s ear.


    All at once, Harriet looked at Kate, her gaze so ferocious that it resembled the vicious gaze of a wolf.


    Kate’s knees buckled in terror at her look. No wonder this woman canpete with men in the


    business world. She’s just so fierce. “He insulted me first. I was incensed, so I pped him.”


    Harriet continued staring at Kate, looking as though she’d raise a hand against her anytime. “So, it was


    indeed you who hit him first?”


    Taking a step forward, Olivia shielded Kate behind her. “I wasn’t nning on taking things too far since


    we’re all in the same circle and would meet frequently, but it seems to be out of my control now.


    “Madam Grant, if someone insulted you, groped you, and even asked you to sleep with him, would you


    be able to control yourself from pping him?”


    Harriet narrowed her eyes and looked at Luca suspiciously, instantly scaring him so greatly that his


    heart stopped beating for a moment. Gazing at her, he hastily exined, “Miss Harriet, that’s a lie. It


    was her who invited me to do a photo shoot for her magazine. I’ve never even heard of that magazine,


    so I declined, but she kept harassing me. Frustrated with the harassment, I indeed told her to get lost


    and dressed her down for taking advantage of my poprity, only to have her im that I’ve insulted


    her. She then pped me right across the face. Miss Harriet, I’m truly innocent to have disaster


    befalling me from nowhere.”


    “Nonsense!” Kate was so livid that her face had turned bright red. At this moment, she disregarded all


    modesty and snapped at him, “It was you who said that you’ll only ept the invitation if Olivia and I


    spend the night with you!”


    Naturally, Harriet didn’t believe Olivia and Kate’s words. Her face darkened at once, and she


    thundered, “I don’t care what’s incidental and what’s deliberate. Since you hit my brother, I won’t just let


    this slide. Either apologize to my brother, or I’ll have someone hit you back in return. Your choice!”


    Just as her words fell, an extremely soft sneer sounded. “Ah, how formidable, President Grant!”


    This exmation instantly attracted everyone’s attention. That’s right! These twodies are acquainted


    with Eugene Nn, so he’ll probably intervene, no? There’s bound to be an interesting show.


    Her brows knitting together slightly, Harriet looked over in the direction of the voice. At this time, the


    man who was sitting on the sofa while surrounded on all sides was leaning back against the sofa


    languidly with his legs crossed, his hands holding a cell phone that he was tapping nimbly as though


    ying a game, his entire person appearing rather willful and arrogant. Harriet’s expression froze for a


    moment before she smiled and walked over to Eugene. “You’re here as well, President Nn?”

    Without even lifting his head, Eugene replied, “From the very beginning.”


    Chuckling in embarrassment, Harriet said, “I was enraged over my brother’s incident, so I didn’t notice


    you. How remiss of me!” As she said that, she took a ss of wine from the server. “I’m sorry,


    President Nn. Here, I’ll drink to you as an apology. Please don’t take offense at me.”


    Eugene didn’t raise his head, so he naturally didn’t raise his wine ss either. Instead, he continued


    ying the game on his cell phone. All at once, the atmosphere plunged into an awkward silence, and


    everyone stared at him in iprehension.
