“I’m really sorry about that. No one taught me that since I was young.” While Edward was speechless, Merlin said to
him, “You’re in no position to make any decision in this family. So, just be quiet.” When he was done, he turned to
look at Brian. “Brian, come sit next to me!”
Brian responded and brought a chair next to him. Then, he gestured to the bodyguard holding Tres to remove the
tape over Tres’ mouth. “So, Tres, was I right?”
Even though Tres looked indignant, he had to succumb at another person’s turf. For the past few days, Brain really
went all out with him; taking turns with him from day until night so that he couldn’t catch any sleep at all..
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed Brian to have his way.
In the end, he could only face Lara in embarrassment as he stole a look at her and answered in a resigned tone,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes, it’s Miss Lara who instructed us to do all that!”
Staring at him in disbelief, she couldn’t believe that Tres would be so unreliable when he was usually so respectful
toward her. “When did I instruct you to do any of those things? What’s my motive?”
After snorting, Brian then said, “That’s because Dr. Maxwell is Eugene’s girlfriend, and you would never let any
chance against Eugene to pass by. Moreover, I think the most important reason that makes you hate her to the
core is because she cured Grandpa of his illness! Because Grandpa has recovered, all the time you spent taking
care of him has gone down the drain, causing a delay in your plans to take over the Nolan Group. That’s why you’re
blaming this on Dr. Maxwell.” Lara chuckled. “Since you’re so good at making up stories, why didn’t you become a
storyteller?”
“We can tell just how ambitious you are through everything happening today which was caused by you,” Brain
sneered. “Even though your ultimate aim is to take the Nolan Group as your own, Edward has no intention to fight
for the position of the president at all, and you prodded him from the back. It doesn’t matter whether you admit it
or not because this makes no difference to the things which you have done, and it’s impossible for you to wriggle
out of the situation as the innocent party!”
Hearing that, Edward lifted his eyes at Brian, and he had to admit that Brian hit the nail on the head. Then, he cast
a suspicious look at Lara. Although he knew that she was ambitious and admired this type of woman, he never
thought that he would become a part of her plot and be made use of.
How should he describe his feelings?
Maybe it was a disappointment for him. As it turned out, the woman whom he had wholeheartedly believed and
protected thought of him as nothing different from anyone else in her heart.
Lara panicked more and more, especially when she saw the disappointment in Edward’s eyes, she was even more
afraid. If even he didn’t speak up for her, she may really not be able to walk out of this conference room today!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Don’t believe them, hubby. They’re making up all these stories just to crucify me. Look at the injuries on Anna
Maxwell and Tres. Isn’t that because Eugene made them say the things which he wanted? Dear, anyone can doubt
me, but not you!”
After listening to her, Edward thought that it made sense. It was true that not many people can tolerate Eugene’s
methods, and it was highly possible that Eugene had fabricated the truth in order to avenge what happened back.
then so that Lara would be exiled,
Others may not believe her, but not him! She was the person who shared his bed, and if he didn’t protect her, it
would be as good as watching them hammer her to death!
Coming to this resolution, Edward placed his arm around her shoulders. “I know. Don’t worry, I believe you!”
However, Eugene sniggered at those words. “I’ll give you an extra chance, then. People like you deserve it even if
others do you in!”
