North curled up his lips as he was proud of his father. Although he was worried about his mother, her

injury was worth it if the incident could bring his father and mother closer. However, Olivia suddenly

said, “Kate, please come back tonight. Get a carer to take care of me now.”

Kate was startled by what she said. “Why the need for a carer? I’m right here!”

Olivia replied seriously, “Please come back tonight.”

Kate nodded in agreement. “Don’t worry, I’ll still be here tonight. I can’t sleep now even if you tell me to

go home and sleep.”

Inside the office of The Nolan Group, Curtis reported, “President Nolan, the driver has been bailed out.

He’s confined in the basement of Ruby Palace now.”

Eugene responded without any expression and left The Nolan Group directly.

Although Ruby Palace appeared to be Alex’s property, Eugene was the biggest shareholder of the

company. Moreover, it was his private property.

Most people were not aware that there were underground floors beneath Ruby Palace.

Eugene and Curtis walked in through the backdoor and got into a room. Then, they pushed open a

secret door and stepped into the exclusive elevator that would bring them to the fifth floor beneath the

ground.

Meanwhile, the driver was flurried as he was confined in a room. A man with a silver mask was

standing in the doorway and told him that the beer and food on the table were for him. Seated on the

couch, the driver didn’t have the courage to move a muscle.

Just then, the door was opened suddenly as his chest tightened. Raising his gaze, he saw a tall and

elegant man walking into the room. Without any emotion on his face, the man sized up the room coldly.

It was apparent that he was a ruthless man.

“Eugene,” Kyle greeted Eugene.

Eugene nodded slightly and walked up to the driver, who subconsciously took a step back.

Eugene stared at him as he took a seat on the couch and fished out a box of cigarettes. Lighting up a

cigarette, he appeared to be languid and somewhat tired.

“Do you know who bailed you out?”

The driver didn’t know Eugene, but he figured out that it was the latter who bailed him out. However,

instead of saving him, the latter was more likely to want him dead.

“D-Did you bail me out?” the driver stammered.

Eugene mumbled, “Do you know why I did that?”

For some reason, the driver couldn’t help trembling when confronted by the man. It wasn’t that he was

timid, but the man before his eyes gave off a powerful vibe.

Subconsciously gulping, he shook his head.

Eugene questioned calmly, “Do you want to spill it yourself, or do you want me to go the hard way?”

Flustered, the driver thought he could get away with it and pretended to be clueless. “W-What do you

want me to say?”

“Are there any grudges between you and Olivia Maxwell?”

“No.” The driver shook his head. “I wasn’t intentional. I was drunk and thought that it was the green

light. Since I broke the traffic rules, I won’t have any complaints no matter how many years I’ll be put

behind bars.”

Eugene curled his lips and sneered, “Do you want to go to jail? Since I’ve bailed you out, I won’t want

to waste the taxpayers’ money by sending you to jail. However, if you want to atone for your crime with

your life, I can grant your wish.”

The driver widened his eyes in fright. “I-It wasn’t me. I-I wasn’t intentional.”

Eugene became impatient and directly put out the cigarette in the ashtray as he said nonchalantly, “It

seems that you‘re not willing to tell the truth.”

The driver secretly examined Eugene’s expression and stammered, “I-I already told you the truth—”

Before he could finish his words, Eugene directly lashed out a beer bottle at his head.

The driver immediately collapsed to the ground as he could clearly feel the beer streaming down his

head. His vision turned blurry from the impact, and the blood clouded his eyes.
