Chapter 786


    Nicole frowned and rebuked with an aggrieved expression, "Eugene! Do you really need to behave so


    heartlessly? The only thing that I did was fall for you, but is that considered a sin? Why do you have to


    hurt me this way?"


    Hearing that, there was a disgusted look that shed across Eugene''s face out of instinct. "That''s


    enough. Keep your precious feelings for me all to yourself. I don''t need that."


    Hayden kept his eyes on Nicole and thought, So, she''s finally admitted to having feelings for Eugene,


    huh?


    Lowering his eyes, Hayden masked the misery that welled up within him. Subsequently, he graciously


    tried to break the fight. "Eugene, regardless of the issue, you should speak nicely. All of us are friends


    here, so don''t make the situation awkward."


    Hayden had just finished his words when Eugene retorted instantly, "Friends? I don''t have a friend who


    behaves like that! I told you from the start to stay away from her, and she''s not worth your time and


    efforts!"


    Confused, Hayden asked agitatedly, "Stop talking in riddles here. What''s going on exactly?"

    Eugene shot a look at Nicole, who continued to maintain her silence. "Okay. I guess you won''t tell the


    truth until you''ve been taught a lesson, will you?"


    As he spoke, he instructed Kyle, "Bring Theodore over."


    As soon as Nicole heard that, she swayed slightly and nearly fell to the ground. Eugene has found out


    about Theodore! Then, that means I…


    The blood instantly drained from her face and there was a terrified look in her eyes as she looked at


    him.


    Meanwhile, Penny was startled by that too. Theodore? Is that Theodore, who worked as Mom''s butler?


    Soon, Theodore was led into the room.


    It is him… Penny furrowed her brows tightly. What does this mean? Am I a suspect?


    Theodore froze slightly upon seeing Nicole. As hemented Eugene''s extraordinary speed at carrying


    out an investigation, he also caught on to what Eugene meant by ''I will, but not now''.


    Evidently, if Theodore refused to reveal the truth, then his son might not live to see tomorrow.


    Eugene nced at Theodore and said, "Repeat what you told me the other day. Who was the one that


    provided you with the map of Promise Ind?"


    At that point, Nicole had her eyes glued on Theodore the whole time. Despite knowing that he would


    bow down to Eugene''s interrogation and reveal her as the perpetrator, she could not help remaining


    hopeful that Theodore would take into ount the one million she had provided and not reveal her as


    the mastermind.


    Unexpectedly, Theodore had no hesitations at all as he confessed, "It was Nicole."


    Instantly, the exposed mastermind red up and denied out of instinct, "That''s nonsense! You''re


    rambling nonsense!" As she spoke, she rushed over to hit him. "Tell me, who instructed you to say


    that?" She whacked him so hard that the wounds he sustained from before led him to wince in pain.


    "Ah! Miss West, I had to tell the truth. I had no other option!"


    "Stop it!" Eugene''s low and cold voice rang out and there was a forceful note in his voice that clearly


    indicated his insistence.


    Kyle managed to pull her aside soon enough. At that moment, Nicole hurriedly exined herself to the


    man, "Eugene, don''t listen to his nonsensical words. I will never do that! I have no reason to target your


    mother!"


    Eugene nced at her and the smirk on his face deepened, but it was a cold and mocking smile that


    he revealed. "Only a few of us came here before. Other than the injured ones upstairs, there are only


    three of you left. If it isn''t you, then tell me, who else could have revealed the location of the vi?"


    In panic mode, Nicole tried to put on a calm front. She nced at Penny and Hayden before turning


    around to say to Eugene, "Penny''s the prime suspect! Lara hired the assassin while Penny provided


    the geographical location. The mother and daughter duo must have plotted to kill your mom. This has


    nothing to do with me!"


    As soon as Penny heard that, she red up and instantly rebuked loudly, "Nicole, what sort of


    nonsense are you on about? I didn''t do that!"


    "Your mom has always been jealous that Mrs. Nn is still alive. You harbored a grudge against


    Eugene because Olivia picked on you. That''s why you''ve got the motive. You''re the one who must have


    revealed theyout of the ind for your mom to send an assassin and kill Mrs. Nn!"
