Chapter 964 Rebuilding Trust
Eugene furrowed his brows as he replied, "I talked to Hayes and had all of the business under Samuel
Court shut down. I should have kicked him out earlier."
Olivia chuckled. "Do you know what I told Christoff after the incident?"
At the mention of Christoff whom Eugene held in contempt, his face turned gloomy. "What did you tell
him?"
She smiled. "I told him that since he almost got me killed, you''ll definitely hold him ountable for it."
As he chuckled, he reached out to pinch her nose with indulgence and doting in his eyes. "You know
me pretty well. Although he''s as annoying as a fly buzzing around you, I have faith in you. However,
since his existence had already threatened your life now, he''d better not show up again."
Olivia found it somewhat unusual as she noticed his obedient demeanor.
She couldn''t help but wonder when he had be so careful with his words, and why he always felt
the urge to express his loyalty so fervently.

Looking at him, she confessed, "I''m new to this whole rtionship thing, and I know I haven''t been
great at it. Sometimes when things happen, I can only react instinctively. Especially when ites to
matters of the heart, I tend to withdraw and be avoidant, often without even being aware of it. And
I know I messed up when we had that misunderstandingst time. I take responsibility for not trusting
you enough. And maybe Christoff did have an influence on me, which is why I impulsively came back
from abroad and made you feel more guilty toward Azalea—"
Without waiting for her to finish, Eugene fiercely pulled her into his embrace. "It''s not your fault. It''s my
fault for not being good enough. I shouldn''t have kept it from you. Even though my intentions were only
to prevent you from getting jealous, I know keeping secrets is still wrong. I apologize. From now on, I
promise to be more open with you andmunicate better. We have to talk about it if anything is on
our minds, okay?"
Olivia remained silent as she only nodded in his embrace.
The misunderstanding had left both of them wounded. Although they had made up afterward, she still
couldn''t shake off the knot in her heart.
However, as she heard his heartfelt confession and witnessed him rushing over in a disheveled state
upon learning of her ident, she couldn''t help but feel a sense offort in her heart.
He was still the same person who would get anxious at the thought of her being hurt, and the same
gentle soul who had always believed in her.
If tonight''s events had involved Eugene and Azalea instead, she would definitely be overthinking
things.
His unwavering faith in her made her realize that she wouldn''t have handled it as well as he did when it
came to situations like this.
"Olivia, you must let me know if there''s anything that''s bothering you, I''ll exin everything to you, and
I promise not to keep anything from you," he said.
She nodded. "I actually feel the same way as you do. While it''s true that we are responsible for not
handling our arguments well, it seems that someone had deliberately triggered the situation. Otherwise,
how could the rope have broken for no reason? How did you end up going to Nambahd, and why did
the cab driver who drove Azalea develop a crush on her? She''s a princess after all! Why didn''t Hayes
exin things clearly when he called you? Imagine if you had exined everything to me properly that
day, I wouldn''t have left in anger!"
"Don''t be angry, Olivia. I have considered these things. I suspect that Christoff is instigating conflicts
between us."
Olivia recalled the argument they had that night when she had firmly told Eugene that he had no
grounds to suspect anything between her and Christoff.
She was clouded by anger that day.
Eugene had been flirting with other women, yet he brought up the topic of her and Christoff, which
immediately struck a sensitive chord within her.
Looking back with a clear mind, she realized that perhaps what he probably wanted to convey was that
since he had faith in her, why couldn''t she reciprocate the same trust?
Olivia let out a sigh and exined, "I don''t have any special rtionship with Christoff, even though he
helped me. It''s normal to suspect him, and I''ve my own suspicions about him as well. That''s why I''ve
been avoiding him all along. However, what happenedst night and tonight were both idental and
not intentional. But now, I''m curious whether Christoff has the power to influence other matters,
including how Hayes handles things."
Eugene nodded. "Alright, I understand. I''ll send someone to look into the matter."
