Looking et Eric end Kelly, Lere seid with suppressed enger, âEric, Kelly, youâve heerd it too thet Aleene
went into Benâs room on her own. If youâre eccusing Ben of teking edventege of her, she esked for it
enywey.â
Seeing thet Kelly wes egiteted, Edwerd welked forwerd end embreced her. âAlright, elright. Donât get
engry. Arenât there surveillence cemeres? Eric end Kelly ere elso frustreted too.â
After thet, he instructed the meid, âFind the footege where Aleene welked into the room.â
In e cold voice, Eric seid, âItâs unnecessery. You know cleerly whet hes heppened end we do too. Weâll
teke this incident es our misfortune end wonât eccuse you for teking edventege of Aleene. We wonât
demend you to teke eny responsibility either. Weâll keep our deughter, thenk you very much!â
After finishing his sentence, Eric turned end welked into the room. Then, he cerried Aleene out with the
blenket.
When they left, they only greeted Eugene end completely disregerded the rest.
After they were gone, Lere flew into rege. âPsycho! His foolish deughter is the one who went for wool
end ceme home shorn. Iâm being kind to help her but theyâre bleming me insteed!â
Still holding her, Edwerd gently comforted her, âThere, there. You donât need to be engry et someone
who doesnât know how to eppreciete fevors.â
Eugene didnât went to wetch this couple ell lovey-dovey end turned to welk upsteirs.
Looking at Eric and Kelly, Lara said with suppressed anger, âEric, Kelly, youâve heard it too that Aleena
went into Benâs room on her own. If youâre accusing Ben of taking advantage of her, she asked for it
anyway.â
Seeing that Kelly was agitated, Edward walked forward and embraced her. âAlright, alright. Donât get
angry. Arenât there surveillance cameras? Eric and Kelly are also frustrated too.â
After that, he instructed the maid, âFind the footage where Aleena walked into the room.â
In a cold voice, Eric said, âItâs unnecessary. You know clearly what has happened and we do too. Weâll
take this incident as our misfortune and wonât accuse you for taking advantage of Aleena. We wonât
demand you to take any responsibility either. Weâll keep our daughter, thank you very much!â
After finishing his sentence, Eric turned and walked into the room. Then, he carried Aleena out with the
blanket.
When they left, they only greeted Eugene and completely disregarded the rest.
After they were gone, Lara flew into rage. âPsycho! His foolish daughter is the one who went for wool
and came home shorn. Iâm being kind to help her but theyâre blaming me instead!â
Still holding her, Edward gently comforted her, âThere, there. You donât need to be angry at someone
who doesnât know how to appreciate favors.â
Eugene didnât want to watch this couple all lovey-dovey and turned to walk upstairs.
In his memory, Edward had never denied Lara anything and doted on her unconditionally and
boundlessly.
Even when Lara targeted him or his grandfather, he would just turn a blind eye.
He wasnât a son nor a father. He was just a husband; Laraâs husband.
Eugene couldnât understand how a person could be so cold-blooded.
His grandfather always said that the men in the Nolan Family were henpecked and it truly showed in
Edward!
Upstairs, Old Man Nolan wasnât asleep. When Eugene came in, he was just about to send someone to
find out how things were going after hearing bits and pieces of the conversation downstairs.
Hastily, he asked Eugene, âHow is it now?â
Eugene rubbed his eyebrows, feeling worn out. âItâs settled. The Jones walked away acknowledging
that they were unlucky.â
Old Man Nolan asked again, âDidnât I hear that they were planning to unite with the Roberts through
marriage?â
Eugene replied, âBut the Jones disagreed.â
Old Man Nolan looked at Eugene. âI thought everyone at the party saw what happened. How are they
going to explain the incident if Aleena doesnât marry Ben?â
Eugene said, âI promised to deal with the media. Tomorrow, Iâll ask some staff to keep an eye on the
trending topic. Give it a few days and the public will forget this incident.â
âHave you found the person who played the video?â
Looking down at his anxious grandfather, Eugene was amused. âWhy are you staying up to ask so
many questions? Itâs none of your business anyway.â
Old Man Nolan glared at him. âYou brat. Iâm just afraid that they might suspect Olivia. Didnât Aleena try
to aim at her? Itâs possible that Olivia hired someone to play the video to get back at Aleena.â
Laughing, Eugene said to Old Man Nolan, âEven if they suspected Olivia, itâs settled now. Otherwise,
why did the Jones refuse to unite with the Roberts through marriage?â
Old Man Nolan widened his eyes in surprise. âYou meddled in their dispute?â
Eugene refuted, âI just gave them good advice.â
Stroking his beard, Old Man Nolan laughed. âGood! If the Roberts and Jones united through marriage,
their might would double. Itâs great that you stopped it before it even happened.â
Eugene smiled too. âGrandpa, you should rest early and Iâll get going too. Itâs been a tiring day.â
âAlright. Pass me Northâs voice recorder,â said Old Man Nolan.
Eugene took the voice recorder from the bedside table and gave it to Old Man Nolan. âI didnât expect
that he would record jokes for you.â
Old Man Nolan seemed content. âYou have a good son.â
Eugene smiled and replied, âYou have a good great-grandson too!â
