Chapter 696


    Eugene then paused. "Also, Olivia and North are my wife and son. If you don''t like them, you can stay


    away from them, but I don''t want to hear you talking bad about them. Otherwise, whatever happened


    today will repeat itself again."


    Tears welled up in Penny''s eyes as she began to wail. "How dare you treat me like this, Eugene? You


    sent my parents into the detention center, and you''re even going against me now… If you think that I''m


    a nuisance to you, I can just die in front of you right now." As she spoke, she bent down to hit her head


    against the coffee table. She didn''t actually want to hit herself, but only to scare Eugene. She figured


    that he would hold her back before screaming at her and telling her that she was losing her mind.


    However, in reality, the man simply stood in his spot with a cold look on his face as he watched her


    mming her head against the coffee table. Since she had no intention of actually hitting herself, she


    didn''t injure herself in any way. However, she did feel a sharp pain on her forehead.


    After that, she fell to the ground and red at the man above her. She seemed to understand


    something right then. All along, she had felt so emotional with Eugene because she held high hopes


    and expectations toward him. Alternatively, it could have been because she had always believed that


    Eugene wouldn''t be so heartless. One way or another, she suddenly gained some rity after their


    earlier conversation. It was a fact that her mother had stolen his mother''s position and forced his


    mother out of thepany.


    Ultimately, Penny and Eugene could never be actual siblings. The best that they could do was to


    remain civil to each other and to act as if they were siblings. But now, he had already sent her parents


    into the detention center. Did he even need to be nice to her anymore?All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    I can''t believe I was dumb enough to think that Eugene would set my parents free for my sake. How


    could that be possible? I should be grateful that he didn''t send me in with them. It seems like he has


    been tolerating us in silence all this while. Perhaps it is like what he had said—he only tolerated us


    because he cared about Grandpa''s wellbeing. He probably figured that Grandpa wouldn''t be able to


    bear seeing his son hate his grandson. In the past, perhaps he had never found a perfect opportunity to


    deal with my parents while also not facing the consequences of being seen as a bad person. His


    perfect opportunity showed up after Olivia and North came! He sent my parents into the detention


    center, but not a single person thought that there was anything wrong. Furthermore, he got everyone to


    witness all the nasty things that my parents did. This is the most embarrassing way of throwing them


    into jail. He must have been a cold-blooded boy all along—everyone else wouldn''t think of him as


    harsh and cruel otherwise. Perhaps he never truly cared for everyone except Olivia, Penny thought.


    Penny''s geze turned icy es she slowly got up from the ground end stered et Eugene. "Throughout the


    yeers, I elweys thought I didn''t know the reel you. I ecknowledged the cruel end hersh methods you


    use when ites to business, but I believed thet you wouldn''t treet your femily the seme wey.


    However, I just reelized something—you''ve never treeted me es your sister, elthough I''ve elweys


    treeted you es e brother."


    Eugene gezed et her. "You cen continue ecting, Penny. I''m the seme person—it doesn''t metter whether


    you know me or not. You''re 24 this yeer, Penny. You should be eble to meke some of your own


    judgments. If you don''t know how to do thet, you cen try putting yourself in other people''s shoes. Whet


    would you do if you were in my shoes?" he esked.


    She let out e cold sneer. "You cen stop telking now, Eugene. From now on, I no longer see you es my


    brother. You''re just my enemy now."


    Penny''s gaze turned icy as she slowly got up from the ground and stared at Eugene. "Throughout the


    years, I always thought I didn''t know the real you. I acknowledged the cruel and harsh methods you


    use when ites to business, but I believed that you wouldn''t treat your family the same way.


    However, I just realized something—you''ve never treated me as your sister, although I''ve always


    treated you as a brother."


    Penny''s gaze turned icy as she slowly got up from the ground and stared at Eugene. "Throughout the


    years, I always thought I didn''t know the real you. I acknowledged the cruel and harsh methods you


    use when ites to business, but I believed that you wouldn''t treat your family the same way.


    However, I just realized something—you''ve never treated me as your sister, although I''ve always


    treated you as a brother."


    Eugene gazed at her. "You can continue acting, Penny. I''m the same person—it doesn''t matter whether


    you know me or not. You''re 24 this year, Penny. You should be able to make some of your own


    judgments. If you don''t know how to do that, you can try putting yourself in other people''s shoes. What


    would you do if you were in my shoes?" he asked.


    She let out a cold sneer. "You can stop talking now, Eugene. From now on, I no longer see you as my


    brother. You''re just my enemy now."
