Chapter 426

Eugene sat on the sofa with a gaze that could freeze one to the bones. “What are you thinking?! Your

mother is my mother too! Do you think I would actually send somebody to run down my own mother?!”

On the other hand, Brian’s eyes were covered with a dense layer of mist. “I admit; you might not have

meant it. But, if you didn’t plan out that car accident to gain Lara’s trust, would Mom have died?! No

matter what you say, Mom’s death is related to you. I can understand the reason why you did it, but

that doesn’t mean I can forgive you, Eugene! I will never forgive you!”

Eugene took several deep breaths repeatedly. This is driving me nuts! All of a sudden, he stood up and

smacked his hand against Brian’s neck. Then, Brian crumpled onto the sofa.

Staring at Eugene suspiciously, Olivia asked, “What are you doing?”

Then, he leaned back against the sofa tiredly and lazily spat out, “He’s annoying!”

She sighed quietly. Aware that he was in a bad mood, she left him alone. Instead, she took out her

needles and started performing acupuncture on Brian. Today was his last day of treatment, thus, she

couldn’t let all her efforts go to waste.

On the other hand, North glanced at Eugene before glancing at Olivia. After that, he turned around and

went back to his room. What on earth is going on? I’m going to investigate this. Logging into the Will-o'-

Wisp Headquarters’ website, he searched the archives for the report Lone Wolf created after

investigating the incident back then.

The reason why the Will-o'-Wisp Headquarters had managed to survive for such a long time without

weakening was that it truly was a mysterious and secret organization. Aside from that, it was also

because it held information on everybody. There was nothing the Will-o'-Wisp couldn’t find—it was

simply a matter of whether or not they were interested to find it in the first place.

For example, if other people could search and obtain information from ten years ago, then the Will-o'-

Wisp Headquarters was capable of searching up information reaching twenty years back. For that

reason, many fought to join the team and even went so far as to spare no effort to build a good

relationship with the Will-o'-Wisp Headquarters. Leaving aside the five core leaders of the team that

included North, even just interacting with a normal member of the team was a great honor.

North’s small fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed furiously. Soon, he found it—the pictures

and relevant information relating to the car accident back then.

On the 5th of August, a multi-vehicle collision occurred on Jennings Street due to slippery roads

caused by rain. A black van had collided with a taxi, which had a female passenger in it. The female

passenger was heavily injured in the accident and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Unfortunately, she later passed away at the hospital. According to the police investigation, the accident

was caused by a drunk driver.

After reading that, North’s expression became solemn. Then, he investigated the background of the

driver. The driver’s name was Isaac Black and he worked directly under Eugene. On that day, he drove

under the influence of alcohol and caused the accident. After the incident, he was sentenced to

imprisonment for three and a half years. He was released early because of good behavior. There was

also a picture of Eugene kneeling in front of the hospital bed at the hospital.

By now, North was scowling fiercely. Could it be that my daddy masterminded this incident? Thus, he

continued to investigate further, refusing to believe that Eugene was behind the incident. It wasn’t until

he came across a new piece of information that a smile appeared on his face…

In the living room, Olivia finished performing acupuncture on Brian and looked at Eugene. He had been

silent all this while and was covering his eyes with his arm. At that moment, he looked very vulnerable.

It was a side of him that she had never seen before. Sitting beside him, she asked, “Do you want to talk

to me about it?”

However, Eugene did not say anything. Even so, the image of North and Olivia standing in front of him

and protecting him flashed across his mind all of a sudden. It made him feel like crying again. So, he

reached out and hugged her tight, burying his head in her neck. “Olivia!”

Meanwhile, she allowed him to hold her. His large hands patted her on the back lightly. Then, she

lightly comforted him, “It’s okay. If you don’t want to say anything, then don’t.”

Again, he didn’t say anything for a long time. After a while, Olivia said, “If you don’t want to talk, you

should go back and rest. We can leave everything until tomorrow.”

However, Eugene didn’t want to go home. Instead, the arm he wrapped around her tightened

considerably.
