A smirk appeared on Eugeneâs face. âI would like to ask you about that as well. Why did you bail her out of the psychiatric department?â Lara asked in adamant denial, âWho said that I was the one who bailed her out? I donât know her at all!â
The expression on his face turned solemn. âFine, so this is not enough, huh? Iâll have you thoroughly convinced today!â Then, he glanced at Curtis again. âBring Brian in as well!â
Curtis responded and directly went out of the conference room to look for a sleepy and incredibly relaxed Brian on the couch outside. Pacing to Brian, Curtis called him softly, âYoung Master Brian, President Nolan wants you to go in now.â
Hearing that, Brian woke up instantly and ordered his men to bring Tres into the conference room. After hearing that, everyone turned their heads over, they had only seen this second young master when he was still young, and they had lost count of the years that they hadnât seen Brian, but he had grown up to be such at dashing young man now. The most agitated person was Merlin and his hollowed eyes were fixed on Brian. Reaching out his hand, he uttered, âBrian...â
At first, Brian felt awkward toward the Nolan Family, but after Eugene told him the truth about what happened back then, he was a little grateful toward Merlin instead.
Thus, with all eyes on Brian, he paced over to Merlin, crouched down and greeted with a chuckle, âGrandpa.â A delightful Merlin answered, âItâs great that youâre back. Come here, let me take a look. Youâre getting more handsome now, rascal!â
With a bright smile, Brian replied, âAnd youâre looking younger, Grandpa!â The smile on Merlinâs face couldnât be any wider. âLetâs get you a seat.â While Curtis went to get a chair, Brian said, âThatâs alright, Grandpa. Iâm just here to drop someone.â
After that, he faced everyone in the room and explained, âMaybe everyone is unfamiliar with Tres. A member of The Quintets and the third oldest, he goes by the name Tres. All these years, theyâve been my enemy, and would always stick their noses into my businesses and my men. If they could win me in a fight, they would do it, but they will resort to stealing if they canât. What I would like to say, though, is not only are they targeting me, theyâre also targeting Dr. Maxwell. The last time, they sent fifteen men to rob her, but luckily, she managed to escape with the help of the bodyguards who. were watching her in secret and a friend. Before that, he hired someone to run over Olivia and the car overturned a few times. It was also with a stroke of luck that she didnât die in the crash.â
He elaborated, âHowever, Dr. Maxwell had just returned to the country and shouldnât have any feud with anyone. I thought that she was dragged into the situation by The Quintets because they have a problem with me and Eugene. Later, after interrogation, I found out that The Quintets have been working for Lara Roberts secretly the whole time, and everything they did to Dr. Maxwell was following her instructions.â
âThatâs nonsense!â Lara cried out in anger. âYouâre no longer a member of the Nolan Family, so stay out of our affairs!â Brian cast a glance at her and smirked indifferently. âSeeing that your life is almost over, Iâll let you off for a little longer.â
His words almost made her suffer a stroke from the anger and she tugged at Edwardâs. arm. âArenât you going to say something?
He was the one who chose Ellen Mccarthy without. hesitation at that time, and now, heâs running back to the Nolan Family to throw his weight. around. Who does he think he is?â
Hearing that, Edward turned to Brian and roared, âShut up! Back then, I already told you that youâre not allowed to come back after stepping out of the doors. You have no right to stick your nose into our family affairs!â Shifting his eyes toward Edward, Brian probed breezily, âWho... are you?â
Edward was mad with fury as he pointed at him. and yelled, âDonât you know who I am?â âOh, youâre that jerk!â Brian answered.
âIâm your father. Is this how youâre speaking with me?â
