Chapter 139

Olivia thought that Kate was sharp-eyed as the latter had figured out that Eugene and Brian were

frenemies.

The scandal in the past had been covered up, therefore only a few people knew that Brian was a

member of the Nolan Family.

“They should know each other since they’re both business moguls,” Olivia mumbled.

Kate looked at her and questioned, “Are you not enticed at all when two brilliant men are around you?”

Pretending to be nonchalant, Olivia replied, “No, they aren’t my cup of tea.”

Taking a seat beside the bed, Kate gazed at her and persuaded, “Olivia, many years have passed, so

please don’t keep looking back. You’re the best woman in my heart, and no one is a good match for

you. However, I don’t want you to be alone. I want you to have a man who can take care of you and

make you take off all your disguise so that you won’t have to face all the problems alone. Not all men

are as jerky as Hugo. At least Eugene isn’t. Most people would praise you when you’re successful, but

few would save you when you’re in trouble. Both Eugene and Brian had helped you when you were in

deep mud, especially Eugene. When was he ever not present when you needed help?”

Olivia remained silent for a long time and explained, “I won’t fall for anyone again, so it doesn’t matter

who is fond of me. It’s because they’re good men that I don’t want to hold them up.”

Feeling sorry for her best friend, Kate gazed at her. She knew that Olivia was hurt deeply on a night

seven years ago. Other than Hugo’s betrayal, Olivia had let loose of herself on an impulse.

Furious, she wanted to take revenge on the jerk and made love to a stranger. After that, she was

extremely ashamed of herself. Instead of being picky, she was afraid that other men would be

disdainful of her.

“Olivia, don’t lose hope yet. You have to believe that your Mr. Right is waiting for you somewhere in the

world.”

Olivia took a deep breath and replied, “Alright, stop lecturing me. Get a carer to take care of me.”

Kate said, “No way. If Eugene finds out about it tomorrow, he will take me to task. Just close your eyes

and take a rest.”

Olivia obediently closed her eyes and teased, “I seriously suspect that you’ve been bribed by Eugene.”

Kate was torn between laughter and exasperation. “If I’ve been bribed, I won’t stay here and let you

mock me. I would have taken the money and fled.”

Olivia continued, “Maybe you didn’t agree on the price.”

Kate’s lips twitched. “Alright, I’ll discuss with Eugene tomorrow. I’ll tell him to set the prices for making

me disappear for one hour and one night.”

Olivia threatened, “Discuss with him if you aren’t afraid that I will get even with you after I recover.” Kate

was rendered speechless by friend’s words.

The next morning, Kate thought that Eugene would come early, but he was nowhere to be seen by 9

am.

Olivia kept urging Kate to go home and sleep. Since they had hired a carer last night, it didn’t matter

that the latter wasn’t there.

Worried, Kate insisted, “I’m not sleepy as I had slept enough last night.”

After hearing the statement, her best friend urged, “How could you rest well on a chair? Go home. I’m

really fine.”

Just when they were having an argument, Nathan swaggered into the room.

“Why are you here? Is North at the school?” Kate questioned.

Nathan replied, “Yes. My uncle told me to come over and take your place so that you can go home and

sleep.”

“What is your uncle doing?” Kate questioned, at which Nathan shook his head.

“I don’t know. Maybe there’s something he has to deal with personally, otherwise he wouldn’t have told

me to come here.”
