Curtis responded, âItâs the statement declaring that you are not related in any way with Miss Maxwell,â As soon as Eugene heard that, he was furious.. âWho arranged for that statement to be issued?â Curtis replied, âIt was your father who issued that statement, but apparently it was Master Merlinâs idea.â
Meanwhile, Eugene narrowed his eyes furiously. Grandpa already knows Olivia and Northâs identity, so how could he possibly issue such a statement?!Obviously, it must be because of Edward and Laraâs constant probes so Grandpa had to make this compromise to protect North and Olivia. Theyâre quite desperate to remove me from my position, huh? Evidently, they have a guilty conscience!
âAlright, noted. Iâll issue the statement myself!â Eugene agreed and then he hung up the phone. As for Olivia, she was by Eugeneâs side, so she heard their conversation quite clearly.
She heard that it was Merlin who had issued the statement but after interacting with the elderly man all this while, she naturally knew Merlinâs personality and she understood that his actions were merely done in the companyâs best interest.
âYou should follow your grandfatherâs way for the moment. Right now, theyâre still trying to find a fault of yours but they havenât succeeded, so you shouldnât court trouble. As long as Northâs fine, everything else doesnât matter to me.â
Eugene lifted his hand to stroke her hair and he felt quite bad at that point. âYouâre my girlfriend and no matter who queries this, this will be my answer regardless. Grandpa has other things to consider and heâs just worried about you and Northâs safety. But things are already in such a state so even if I issue a statement denouncing our relationship, they wonât let us get away anyway.â
He spoke while reaching out to take Oliviaâs hand into his. âOlivia, trust me. I wonât let you and North suffer any harm.â
Olivia nodded her head, but she really didnât have the energy to discuss all this. Right now, her only concern was her child in the operation theater.
Eugeneâs heart ached and he was very regretful too. It was all because he had too many concerns, and that had resulted in his wife and kid suffering right now.
He allowed Olivia to lean on him while he took out his cell phone to log on to the official website of Nolan Group. Subsequently, he deleted the statement issued about his relationship with Olivia. Next, he reissued another statement.
This is Eugene Nolan here. Olivia Maxwell is my girlfriend and sheâs also the mother to my son. The person who purposely hired those beggars to spread lies, maliciously slandered and insulted my girlfriend is a person sick in the head; that person has also disregarded the law and ethics. Iâve informed the legal team of the Nolan Group to take legal action against those who spread rumors and cause trouble. I wonât let anyone who uses any method to cause trouble for my girlfriend get away with things easily!!!!
Shortly after the statement had been issued, there were comments below by the people on the Internet. âThis is great. I donât want to comment on the authenticity of this for now, but President Nolanâs dominance in standing up for his wife is awesome! I like it!â
âDid you notice the three exclamation marks. that President Nolan added to his sentence? He must be so angry!â âIâm in shock!
So was Olivia actually involved with those beggars? Why did the claims on the trending topic sound so realistic?â
âThatâs not possible! Do you think that President Nolan is stupid? If she was indeed a woman of poor character, would he have issued this statement personally to address the issue? Heâs even sought legal action too!â
âYeah. We should watch our words too. Letâs just keep silent and observe the situation.â
After Eugeneâs statement, the people on the Internet were much more cautious with their comments, as they were afraid of being caught slandering and thus actually being prosecuted. Everyone maintained an interest in the situation but they all did nothing and merely observed what was going on.
Soon, Kate and Nathan got wind of things and they instantly called Olivia to check up on her. At that point, they found out that North was hospitalized.
Both of them made their way to the hospital in a rush. Kate was closer to the hospital, so she arrived first. As soon as she got there, she didnât say anything but instantly took Olivia into her arms.
