Chapter 78
While Olivia could see what was happening over there, she couldn’t hear what was being said. However, she was
still rather surprised. Why didn’t Aleena stay longer with Eugene?
“Olivia, you should go and greet Eugene as well. After all, it’s somewhat impolite to not greet him since you’ve seen
him. As my face is now bruised, however, I won’t be accompanying you over,” Kate remarked.
Glancing at Eugene, Olivia noticed that he was still surrounded by a crowd, so she replied, “Never mind, I’ll wait for
you before going over.”
“Why would you wait for me? How am I to go over with such a face?”
Olivia shot her a glare. “Excuses! With such simple thinking, I worry about the future of your magazine.”
Being an astute person herself, a moment of clarity instantly came upon Kate as a light bulb went off in her head at
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOlivia’s reminder. Eugene Nolan’s influence is even greater than any celebrity or big shot! Pursing her lips, she
smirked. “Is this appropriate?”
Olivia shot daggers at her. “We’re just going over to greet him, not doing anything grievous. What’s inappropriate
about that?” As she said that, she raised Kate’s chin. “Let me have a look. Hmm, it’s much better now. Just go and
touch up your makeup for a bit!”
It made sense to Kate, so she got up and went to the washroom with Olivia to touch up her makeup. When she
came out, her makeup was exquisite, and her bruising wasn’t at all visible unless one truly scrutinized her face.
At this time, there was still a crowd around Eugene, including those few women who spoke up on Luca’s behalf
earlier. Perhaps it was because it was too abrupt that they were heading right at Eugene or their fuss earlier had
attracted attention, but everyone was looking at them at this moment.
While Olivia wasn’t afraid of the scrutiny, she was rather unused to such attention. Leading Kate, she moved
through the crowd and came to the lounge in the lobby. Then, she courteously greeted the man who was sitting in
the middle of the sofa and radiating a strong aura, “Mr. Nolan.”
Everyone was a touch startled upon hearing this, the look in the women’s eyes brimming with contempt. These two
people wish to make friends with Eugene Nolan as well despite having no popularity, background, or repute? He has
already crushed Miss Jones earlier, so these two ladies are just thick-skinned.
A glimmer of surprise and even delight flitted across Eugene’s eyes. I never thought I’d meet her here. “Miss
Maxwell!”
Kate was a tad more nervous compared to Olivia, and she dipped her head a fraction at Eugene. “Mr. Nolan.”
Eugene politely inclined his head at her in response. Everyone was dumbfounded. What’s happening here? They’re
actually acquainted?
“Come and sit over here!” Eugene beckoned the two of them. Sit? Where are we supposed to sit? Naturally, they
were to sit beside him, so Logan again stood up perceptively, but Eugene didn’t protest this time. Thus, everyone

promptly got up like a chain reaction and emptied two spots beside him.
Olivia inclined her head slightly at the crowd and was just a moment away from sitting down while tugging on Kate’s
hand when a woman’s forceful voice rang out at this time. “Who hit my brother?”
At this, everyone looked over in the direction of the voice. A wealthy-looking woman in a branded dress who
appeared to be in her 40s was striding in their direction, her aura fierce and intimidating. Meanwhile, the man
trailing behind her was none other than Luca who’d been kicked to the ground by Olivia earlier.
Olivia’s brows furrowed slightly. Never have I thought this man would actually ask a woman to come and avenge
him. Damn, he’s not a man at all! The disdain within her showed on her face. Instead of sitting down on the sofa,
she remained standing as she stared at the fast-approaching woman.
Kate whispered, “This woman is the president of Grant Group, Harriet Grant. She’s a career woman who’s been
single ever since her divorce. We’re in hot water this time, for this woman is so tough that even most men don’t
dare provoke her.” Olivia nodded imperceptibly. Eugene didn’t move, but his brows creased slightly as he kept his
eyes on Olivia’s situation.
