Chapter 783


    Eugene asked, "What''s the woman''s name?"


    Theodore replied, "Her name is Reba Walter. She imed to be Madam''s ex-prison mate and she


    had just been released a few days ago after finishing serving her sentence. I gave her one hundred


    thousand to keep this a secret."


    Eugene nodded and continued to ask, "How did you find out about theyout of Promise Ind? Who


    gave you the map?"


    Theodore responded, "It was Nicole. A few days ago, Nicole went to visit Madam in prison and Madam


    got me to meet Nicole."


    At that point, Eugene frowned at the revtion. Never once did he expect that Nicole was the one who


    had revealed theyout; he assumed that it was Penny''s doing.


    "Why did Nicole harbor a grudge against my mom? Is it to seek revenge on me?"


    Theodore replied, "The only condition that Nicole wanted to be fulfilled before she provided the map


    was for me to help her kill Olivia. She said that Madam had promised to do that for her. Subsequently,


    she gave me an extra one million as a reward forpleting her mission."


    Instantly, it dawned upon Eugene and he realized that in fact, this was not too far from the usual trick.


    All she had to do was use someone else to do the dirty trick for her. I knew it didn''t make sense for


    Nicole to target my mom.


    "President Nn, please let my son go."


    Eugene shot Theodore a look. "I will, but it won''t be right now." As soon as Eugene came out of the


    interview room, he exuded a savage air all over. There was also a cold expression on his face. All of


    them seem to have a death wish!


    Suddenly, his phone went off and he took it in his hands to check the caller ID. At a nce, he saw that


    it was Brian on the line and he realized that the secret was out.


    He slid the screen to answer the call and Brian''s voice rang out from the other end. "You guys went to


    Promise Ind again, huh?"


    Eugene replied, "Who told you that?"

    Meanwhile, Brian snorted. "My men are great at their jobs, alright? How''s Mom doing? I''ve been having


    bad dreams for the past few days and in my dreams, Mom was being pursued by thugs. Is she alright?"


    Eugene heaved a sigh and replied, "Your dreams are quite urate. Mom encountered an


    assassination attempt and she was lucky enough to have Alex and Jewel saved her."


    Brian jumped up in fright. "Seriously? Did something actually happen to Mom? How is she? Did you go


    over two days ago? Why didn''t you inform me?"


    Initially, Eugene had been concerned that Brian would be frantic with worry since Brian had just


    recovered from his illness not long ago. Now that the investigation results were pretty much sorted and


    their Mom was fine too, Eugene finally revealed the details to him.


    "Don''t panic. Mom''s fine. Bring Nicole along when youe over." Subsequently, he added, "Inform


    Hayden and Penny toe over too."


    "What''s going on with them? Are they involved in this matter?"


    Eugene responded ambiguously, "Yeah. Don''t worry, I''ve sorted out things, so you shouldn''t stress too


    much."


    He continued to give further instructions before returning to the vi. He saw that Olivia and North were


    downstairs, which was a rare thing to see, so he asked, "Why are the two of you downstairs?"


    Olivia responded, "We''re waiting for you. What happened?"


    He took a deep breath and managed to let go of the savage emotions he harbored before heading over


    to the mother and son duo. He ruffled North''s little head and took Olivia into his arms. Subsequently, he


    replied calmly, "Everything''s fine."


    She nced at him, slightly perplexed. "If everything is fine, then why are you so grumpy?"


    Eugene replied, "I was thinking that if I had stopped my mom from returning to Summer City, then all of


    this wouldn''t have happened."


    At that moment, Olivia realized that she had been too concerned about the injured couple as well as


    comforting Ellen, whom she was regretful to not tag along with. Yet, she forgot about the immense


    pressure that Eugene was carrying. After all, Ellen was his mother and evidently, he was filled with


    anger, regret, and guilt.


    Olivia ruffled his hair like how she usuallyforted North and she asked softly, "Have you found out


    who the perpetrator is?"


    Eugene nodded. "It was an assassin hired by Lara."


    Oliviaforted him, "Don''t me yourself for this. They are the ones whomitted the mistake and


    we can''t possibly remain in hiding for the rest of our lives. Even if Lara didn''t encounter your mom


    during the hearing day, she knew that your mom''s alive, so she would definitely find a way to seek


    revenge. The reason for Lara''s discontentment and persistence is all because she knew that she will


    be able to get away with things eventually. However, if we make sure that the incriminating evidence


    gets submitted in court for the case to be retried, then we could send her to prison for the rest of her


    life. By then, she would have nothing else to look forward to! Lara''s too scheming and conniving, so a


    lot of effort would be required to gain enough evidence to put her behind bars. You''ve done great by


    going along with her plot and then making a move by surprise. In the end, you''ve managed to put her


    behind bars. Eugene, you''ve done a great job!"
