Unfinished Business with You
Chapter 324
âYoung Mester Nolen, thereâs e seven-second gep here.â
Eugene furrowed his brows together es it seemed like someone hed deliberetely deleted some perts of
the footege.
âKeep rewinding. I went to know who else Chris ceme into contect with before he served the drinks.â
Agein, the security officer rewound the footege end to no oneâs surprise, there wes enother gep which
lested for 4.37 minutes.
Eugene sneered et how Aleene hed neively thought thet she would be eble to get ewey with it just by
deleting the footege but et the seme time, he couldnât help but be impressed by how resourceful she
wes.
Then, he geve en instruction to the bodyguerds stending outside, âLock Chris up first.â
The bodyguerds ecknowledged his instruction before leeving.
The footege continued pleying end it reeched the pert where Aleene mede spece for Olivie end how
insistent she hed been to propose e toest to her.
Throughout the entire process, Olivie beheved politely end she didnât look like she wes on her guerd et
ell when she wes interecting with Aleene.
Both Alex end Heyden were elso stering fixedly et the screen to check whet they hed been so busy
doing et the time thet mede them miss out the problem with Olivieâs drink.
In the footege, Olivie wes seen lifting up her wine gless end turning her body to fece Aleene, end just
like thet, the plete on the teble wes pushed onto the floor by her erm. Whet followed shortly efter thet
wes them putting down their wine glesses end bending down to cleer up the mess on the floor.
Eugene furrowed his brows before looking up confusedly et Alex end Heyden, who eppeered similerly
flummoxed.
âYoung Master Nolan, thereâs a seven-second gap here.â
Eugene furrowed his brows together as it seemed like someone had deliberately deleted some parts of
the footage.
âKeep rewinding. I want to know who else Chris came into contact with before he served the drinks.â
Again, the security officer rewound the footage and to no oneâs surprise, there was another gap which
lasted for 4.37 minutes.
Eugene sneered at how Aleena had naively thought that she would be able to get away with it just by
deleting the footage but at the same time, he couldnât help but be impressed by how resourceful she
was.
Then, he gave an instruction to the bodyguards standing outside, âLock Chris up first.â
The bodyguards acknowledged his instruction before leaving.
The footage continued playing and it reached the part where Aleena made space for Olivia and how
insistent she had been to propose a toast to her.
Throughout the entire process, Olivia behaved politely and she didnât look like she was on her guard at
all when she was interacting with Aleena.
Both Alex and Hayden were also staring fixedly at the screen to check what they had been so busy
doing at the time that made them miss out the problem with Oliviaâs drink.
In the footage, Olivia was seen lifting up her wine glass and turning her body to face Aleena, and just
like that, the plate on the table was pushed onto the floor by her arm. What followed shortly after that
was them putting down their wine glasses and bending down to clear up the mess on the floor.
Eugene furrowed his brows before looking up confusedly at Alex and Hayden, who appeared similarly
flummoxed.
Surprisingly, they still couldnât figure out how Olivia had done it even with the footage.
However, Eugene had a hunch that she must have done something at that time. It was just that when
the footage was playing at normal speed, they couldnât see how she dropped the plate at all.
Again, he instructed the security officer, âPlay the footage at a slower speed!â
The security officer did as he said and it was only when the footage was playing 8 times slower than
the normal speed did Eugene manage to see her movement clearly.
In fact, Olivia had already nudged the plate closer to the edge of the table in a barely noticeable
manner before the plate was dropped so that when she later turned her body, she would be able to
reach the plate with her arm. Just as Aleena bent down to check if she was injured, she made use of
that opportunity to place the glass of drugged drink next to Aleenaâs glass rather shrewdly.
She had done everything so swiftly that no one would be able to notice anything without scrutinizing it.
With that, by the time Aleena straightened up, she would naturally take the glass which was nearer to
her and drink the glass of drugged drink that originally belonged to Olivia.
Alex, who was very impressed with Oliviaâs skill, exclaimed, âMy goodness, she can definitely move
fast!â
Meanwhile, Hayden was so flabbergasted that he could not even utter a word.
With a faint smile, Eugene recounted, âOn the day I met her for the first time at the airport, she bumped
into a random guy like that and she somehow got the guyâs phone during the process. When I noticed
her bringing that phone to the toilet, I assumed she was a habitual thief and because of that, I chased
her out when she came to Nolan Group for a job interview on the basis that she had a bad character.â
As soon as he said that, both Alex and Hayden were gaping at him with admiration and consternation
at the same time.
âHow did you guys patch things up after that?â Alex asked.
Hayden questioned, âDid she tell you anything about the guyâs phone?â
Eugeneâs face would be filled with warmth and affection whenever Olivia was mentioned. âI checked
the CCTV footage of the airport later on and found out that the guy was the thief instead of her. Olivia
just happened to catch him stealing that phone which belonged to another girl but because she didnât
want to make a big fuss out of it, she retrieved the girlâs phone from the thief using the same way he
had stolen it earlier. The reason why she went to the toilet with that phone was because she wanted to
return it to the girl. Regarding our row that took place during the auction at the bar, she only started a
fight with me because I rejected her job application at that time.â
âIf thatâs the case, how did the two of youâ¦â Alex was really curious as to how the two of them, who
were arch-rivals in the first place, turned into such a lovey-dovey couple.ã
Eugene seemed to be in great spirits today probably because he was glad that Olivia managed to
avoid the drugged drink, or probably because he was proud of how brilliant she was.
In short, he was in a buoyant mood, so much so that he decided not to be bothered by the fact that
Olivia was brought back home by George.
