Chapter 785


    Hayden frowned upon hearing that. "What happened to the two of you?"


    Alex nced at Eugene. "Didn''t Eugene exin the situation to you guys? Mrs. Nn was nearly


    assassinated, and Jewel and I were on the scene coincidentally, so we fought off the assassins. The


    three of us have varying degrees of wounds."


    As soon as Hayden heard that, he gasped loudly before turning to look at Ellen. "Mrs. Nn, are you


    hurt too? How are you feeling?"


    Ellen was busy exining to Brian about the incident that day and as soon as she heard Hayden, she


    hurriedly replied, "I''m fine. Alex and Jewel sustained much more serious injuries than I did. One of


    them had a concussion and the other was shed on the back. This was all because they wanted to


    save me…"


    Meanwhile, Nicole pursed her lips and studied Eugene''s expression furtively. What is he trying to do


    right now?


    Penny''s brows were also furrowed tightly. What does this mean? Don''t tell me that I''m a suspect?


    Eugene spoke to Olivia as soon as he came up the stairs before greeting the others, "That''s enough,


    let them have a rest. We can talk downstairs."


    As such, Hayden followed Eugene down the stairs while still in confusion. For some reason, he felt


    anxious. Evidently, Eugene had wanted him to see for his own eyes the wounds of the three of them


    before seeking justice for them afterward.


    At that moment, Nicole seemed dispirited and she had been in turmoil ever since Brian had sent his


    men toe and get her.


    On one hand, she tried tofort herself that Eugene had also sent for Penny and Hayden too, so


    perhaps he had some suspicions but without any concrete evidence. However, there was another


    nagging voice in her mind that said, Eugene hasn''t sent any men to keep an eye on Hayden and


    Penny. He held me captive only. This is proof that Eugene already knows that I''m involved in this.


    This doesn''t make any sense at all because the assassins would never disclose information so easily.


    Even if the assassins did disclose the information, they would not be able to ess information about


    their employers too. As such, if they didn''t know anything about their employer, then how can they


    possibly link my involvement? What went wrong exactly?


    She was busy trying to figure out how much Eugene knew and she was unsure whether to admit or


    deny it vehemently.


    Meanwhile, Penny was stunned the entire time as she did not grasp why she was told toe over.


    She was unsure about how Nicole was involved in the assasination attempt on Ellen somehow. As


    such, she remained silent and followed the group up and down the stairs without questioning.


    As they arrived downstairs, Hayden could not help asking, "What''s wrong? Eugene, who sent the


    assassin?"


    However, Eugene merely turned to look at Nicole and spoke coldly, "Do you still intend to keep denying


    things?"


    At that moment, Hayden instantly turned to look at Nicole apprehensively.


    Yet, she piped up indignantly, "Eugene, what do you mean by that? Do you suspect me?"


    If this exact same conversation had happened yesterday, then perhaps Eugene would not be as


    unperturbed as he was right now. Now that he knew that everyone was fine, he wanted to see her final,


    desperate look as she struggled. He also wanted Hayden to witness this and give up on her.

    Hayden persistently stands up for this woman, so I want him to see for his own eyes her true colors!


    Eugene maintained a smile. "Are you saying that I''m mistaken and this has nothing to do with you?"


    Nicole instantly argued, "I have nothing to do with this, of course! I don''t even know why you''ve


    captured me."


    He scoffed, "You never seem to learn your lesson, huh? I warned you before to behave yourself,


    otherwise, you''ll end up losing more than just your hair!"


    Despite her anxiety, Nicole could only continue to deny things vehemently since she did not know how


    much Eugene was aware about the truth.


    She purposely put on a flustered and angry front. "You''re being such a big bully! What did I do wrong?


    You used me wrongfully thest time and I didn''t mention it to my parents because of our ongoing


    friendship. What else do you want from me?"


    Yet, Eugene sneered coldly, "You''re quite bold with your words, huh? You must be so adept at lying that


    you''ve even fallen for your own lies. Hayden''s the only one who would be fooled by your cheap acting."
