Chapter 462

Eugene glanced over at Olivia. “Isn’t Lara’s company the most important thing to her? How will she

react if I bought the Roberts Group?”

“Under the Nolan Group? Isn’t your dad also a shareholder at the Roberts Group? He won’t agree to it.”

He scowled at her. “I’m the head of the Nolan Family!”

“I think your dad still deserves to know about Lara’s true colors!”

He scoffed. “Edward and Lara have been married for so long. Do you really think he doesn’t know what

kind of person she is?”

Olivia looked at him. “That’s because your dad feels like he owes Lara because he married someone

else even though she saved him and even got disfigured. But will that still be the case once he finds

out the truth? Also, don’t you think there was something fishy about that fire? Why did Lara leave the

country and come back again? You should be looking into all of this!”

Even though he did not say anything, he knew that she was right.

Grabbing his hand, she continued, “I know you didn’t make any promises to your mom, but you’re the

one who’s not planning on forgiving him. You don’t necessarily have to see things through to the end if

you want to punish someone. If you make him aware of the truth and let him regret the actions he took

back then, wouldn’t it be more meaningful to see him repent to your mom?”

His eyes closed as he held her in his arms. “Before this, I was never able to understand. He was the

one who wronged my mother, so why couldn’t I take revenge on him?”

“What about now? Is it still hard to understand?”

Shaking his head, he said, “Not anymore. You’re right. I have to make him live in regret forever. He has

to live the rest of his life in atonement to my mom!”

She nodded. “Yes. Let’s secretly do some digging on our own first. We don’t want Lara to bring harm to

Grandpa when she starts to panic.”

“I know.”

The next day, it had been three days since Eugene went to Promise Island and failed to show up at

work.

As a result, people at the company started speculating amongst themselves.

“President Nolan hasn’t been to work for three days now. This is a miracle!”

“Even Curtis doesn’t know where he is. It almost feels like he’s gone missing.”

“You don’t think someone could’ve abducted our president, do you?”

“What are you saying? Who would be bold enough to abduct him?”

At this moment, a woman suddenly stood out. “Is President Nolan someone you can talk about behind

his back? Have you all finished your work?”

The crowd dispersed. Someone asked in a small voice, “Who is that?”

“Samantha Yapp. She was hired a few days ago as the president’s new secretary.”

“We’re secretaries too. Why is she such a snob?”

“I heard she was the first secretary of the foreign company, Kanes Corporation. She has managed

several big projects before. She also holds the record for sealing the most business deals within a year.

No one has been able to surpass her to date.”

“Oh, no wonder she’s such a snob. But why did she quit?”

“Who knows? Let’s just focus on our jobs and not get on her bad side.”

When Eugene came back to work, all the chatter stopped abruptly and the speculations that were

made earlier were instantly disproved.

The moment he arrived at his office, Samantha walked up to him. “President Nolan.”

A frown appeared on his forehead when he saw the woman who was dressed in Nolan Group’s work

attire and who had a small face with big eyes, a small mouth, and a pointed chin. She was quite

beautiful but seemed unfamiliar to him.

“You are…”

She had a put-together smile on her face. “I’m Samantha Yapp, your new secretary. I started three

days ago.”

He was stunned as if he was unaware of such a thing.

Before this, Curtis had interviewed her. They were going to hire a salesperson, but she came to apply

for the position as the president’s secretary. Because she had a brilliant resume, Curtis brought it up to

Eugene who then hired her on the spot. He had not met her in person before and had only seen a

photo of her.
