Somewhere not far away from them, Mnie tried to plead her case by shouting in their direction at the
top of her lungs, “Madam Nn, that’s not true! I’m dating Ben because I really like him!”
Lara cast a nce at that woman to find her a looker and the type that could easily attract men.
However, she was not the right one for her nephew regardless of how she really felt for him because it
would be too much of an embarrassment for him to date Nathan’s ex-girlfriend.
Knowing what was in Lara’s mind, Ben secretly cursed Olivia for meddling in his business and he had
no choice but to say something. “Aunt Lara, I had no idea because that girl has been lying to me too.”
Lara, who stared at him icily, snapped, “Keep your mouth shut or I will have you chased out of this
ce too!”
Looking embarrassed, Ben kept his mouth shut obediently.
Next, Mnie was hauled out of the vi by the bodyguards.
It was only then did Eugene turn to face Nathan and rebuked, “You should have known better than to
create a scene at your great-grandpa’s birthday dinner. Now, it’s about time you go upstairs and send
him your wishes!”
Intimidated by Eugene’s aura as always, Nathan quickly replied, “Yes, Uncle Eugene!” With that, he
made his way upstairs at a hurried pace.
Lara too criticized Ben, “Why are you standing here doing nothing? Clean up the mess now!”
Then, she started exining to the guests who had watched the entire drama unfold. “Everything is just
a misunderstanding and it’s been solved now. Guys, please make yourself at home!”
It was only then did the group of guests slowly disperse while discussing the drama in whispers at the
same time.
Somewhere nearby, Aleena exchanged a nce with Nicole, secretly hatching up ns to lure Olivia
into drinking. When she happened to notice Alex and Hayden from the corner of her eyes, she pulled
Nicole along as she approached them.
She was sure Eugene would bring Olivia to have a drink with the twoter because they were close
friends. Therefore, all she needed to do was make sure Olivia got the ss of wine which was
drugged.
Just like what she expected, Eugene indeed approached them together with Olivia not too long after
that.
Alex was a talkative person with a great sense of humor. However, he didn’t talk much during the event
but he could convey a lot of stuff through his eyes.
He was the person who understood Eugene the best in the world.
Throughout the many years they had been friends, they had criticized each other because of the huge
difference in their personalities, but they had never allowed it to affect their friendship.
“Tsk, tsk! I must say Old Man Nn’s birthday dinner is really a very prestigious event because it’s
graced with Doctor Maxwell’s attendance. Since you will be here for hours, how much will you charge
for your consultation fee? Shouldn’t you give them a discount?”
Olivia chuckled, “Won’t I be humiliating big shots like you guys if I give a discount?”
Laughing, Alex quipped, “Just feel free to humiliate me because I don’t really care!”
Eugene, who couldn’t stand him, gave him a kick on his calf and criticized, “Do you actually realize how
shameless you sound?”
Alex looked unruffled and he red at him while snapping back, “Look at how unappreciative you are.
Can’t you see that I’m trying to help you save some money?”
Eugene shot him a supercilious nce and countered, “Did I even ask for your help?”
Alex grunted in displeasure andmented, “You’re just being ungrateful!”
Sniggering, Hayden patted Alex’s shoulder and consoled, “You’re really wrong to think that Eugene
even needs your help to cut costs! I suggest that you help him spend his money instead!”
Nicole chimed in with a gentle smile, “It won’t be your turn anytime soon to spend his money! I think
you guys should help him take care of Doctor Maxwell instead.”
Alex snorted in response and eyed Eugene provocatively. “Do you need our help to take care of her?”
Yet, from the threatening way he was staring at Eugene, he seemed to be telling Eugene that his girl
was now in his hands.
Eugene, who ignored him, turned to face Olivia and said, “This patient isn’t in his right mind. You need
to do everything you can to treat him and I’ll pay for his consultation fees!”
Olivia couldn’t suppress the urge tough.
It was only after some time did Alex realize he was alluding to him just now. “Damn it! You’re the one
who isn’t in your right mind!”
Eugene couldn’t help but break into a grin. As he reached out to caress North’s head, he said, “Please
wait for me here and I’ll be right back!”
