Chapter 228


    Henry anxiously shouted, “Hey, wait—"


    But the call was hung up from the other side.


    He abruptly slumped on the chair as his body had instantly lost all energy. “It’s over. It’s all over now.


    Eugene has taken action, as expected!” he mumbled.


    He had been feeling uneasy for quite some time. During the wedding anniversary back then, he was


    worried that Eugene might take actions against Maxwell Company. He specially went over to visit Olivia


    and barely managed to get through that point.


    But now, these two women went to target Olivia. Are they not ever going to be satisfied unless they


    destroy our family?!

    Amy couldn’t hear the telephone conversation, but when she saw Henry in a soulless state, she knew


    that something bad must have happened.


    “What’s wrong?”


    He abruptly looked at her with a pair of eyes that were filled with viciousness. “Are you now asking me


    what’s wrong? It’s all because of the two of you! Eugene has started to take action against our


    company. You guys should just wait to be thrown out on the streets!”


    Startled, she roared, “How could he do that to us? He beat her up to this state, but he is still unwilling to


    let us go?”


    He was beyond furious. “Shut up! Why did I marry a woman like you?!” With that, he turned around and


    left.


    “Where are you going? What are we supposed to do now?” Amy yelled from the room, but Henry had


    already left the room.


    He first went to thepany. Just like what his assistant had exined, thepany, which initially


    had only a few dozen employees, seemed to have gone bankrupt overnight, and the few workers that


    stayed behind were interns.


    The interns were surprisingly rather dedicated to their job. Upon seeing him, they voluntarily greeted


    him, “Good day, President Maxwell!”


    He mumbled a reply before returning to his office and instructed someone to hand him the cancelled


    orders. He took a look at them and found that the cancelled agreements consisted of not only those


    unsigned agreements; even thepanies that had signed the agreements were willing to cancel their


    orders and pay the damages for breach of contract.


    For an inexplicable reason, he had a feeling of bitterness, and it made his heart feel heavy. It’s my own


    fault that things ended up this way. Seven years ago, I was an unworthy father to my elder daughter;


    seven yearster, I didn’t do any good as well. Regarding the incident where my younger daughter


    bullied her, I just gave a gentle scolding to the former. I have finally gotten what I deserve today.


    Eugene is really nning to take me down this time!


    On the other hand, Olivia didn’t go to the studio today, but she didn’t sleep as well. The man’s words


    kept echoing in her mind. I understand. I’d overestimated myself!


    And his pair of eyes, which revealed his pain, haunted her.


    She said that he was greedy because he was still unsatisfied even when she was obviously letting him


    have his way!


    As a matter of fact, she was actually the type of person who was slow to warm up to people. There


    were only a handful of people whom she had actually epted as real friends and were able to get


    close to her. However, he was able to dominate most of her thoughts within merely three months.


    Therefore, she was a little afraid when he intended to take another step closer.


    The only rash action that she had ever taken in her life was to sleep with a stranger to take revenge on


    Hugo, and that incident had influenced her for 7 years. Ever since then, she would think twice about


    anything she did.


    Eugene was the only unexpected variable after all these years.


    Buzz! The vibration of her phone interrupted her reverie. In a daze, she looked at the phone, which was


    thrown at one side, and her eyes inexplicably gleamed with hope. She got up and picked it up to take a


    look at it.


    Upon seeing the familiar numbers, the luster in her eyes instantly disappeared, and all that was left was


    boundless coldness.


    After some time, she slid on the screen and epted the call. She put the phone by her ear, but she


    didn’t say anything.


    The person on the other side tentatively called out to her, “Olivia—”


    She scoffed, “What, now? Are you calling me to stand up for your daughter?”


    Henry’s words momentarily choked in his throat. He immediately exined, “No. She has gotten what


    she deserved!”


    Olivia continued to press on, “If you felt that she deserved this, why did you save her? Shouldn’t you


    have allowed her to feel the pain of being beaten so that she would learn her lesson?”
