Chapter 379 The Sister-In-Law That Popped Out Of Nowhere
It took Eugene a while to realize that Brian was referring to Olivia. It left him bemused. “She’s your sister-in-law.”
Brian chuckled. “I don’t even have a brother; why would I have a sister-in-law?” Irritated, Eugene replied, “She
doesn’t love you.”
Brian retorted, “You’d better take good care of her. If you ever treat her wrong, I’ll come after you!” Eugene was
lost for words. At this point, he thought twice about calling Brian his brother.
“That’s enough. You’d better take care of yourself. The Quintets didn’t get what they wanted last night, so they
might come back for revenge.”
Brian replied brazenly, “I don’t need you to tell me that.” He got into his car right after and sped off.
Eugene gazed at the car smilingly as it disappeared into the night. At Edward’s house, Lara turned to Edward after

area.”
Edward said, “It’s not only Eugene who lives in Muse Peninsula; Nathan lives there too!”
Lara scoffed, “Do you really think Brian would look for Nathan? Ever since he left the Nolan Family when he was
twelve, he had cut ties with everyone. He didn’t even show up for Grandpa’s birthday party, so how would he go
meet Nathan? It would have been even more convincing if he were to meet Olivia.”
Edward pulled Lara onto his lap. “Come on. You’re getting too worked up. Let’s just assume he was meeting Olivia. I
know Eugene and Brian very well; they are both stubborn as mules. After all these years of fighting against each
other, there’s no way they would reconcile in two short days.”
Lara was still trying to piece everything together. “Something’s not right. The Quintets had their hands on the goods
yesterday, but another group of men, armored in black, came by. Based on their description, they somehow
seemed like Eugene’s men. If what you said is true, who were those people, then?”
Edward thought for a while and said, “It might very well be a new gang Brian cultivated in the dark, and we did not
see it coming.”
Lara replied, “I don’t think so. It’s best that you arrange for someone to keep an eye on Brian. Things have been
happening a little too conveniently for my liking. Remember that evening at Grandpa’s birthday party, when the
Jones Family went into the security control room with Eugene and came out acting differently? They were so
adamant, throwing nasty accusations at us, like taking advantage, forcing, and even raping. I was too enraged at
that moment, and now that I think about it, they had not behaved like that to us before. I found out today that
Aleena is out of the country. It is obvious that Eugene must have said something to ruin the marriage between the
Roberts and Jones Families.”
Edward uttered, “It’s not easy to set up a marriage with the Jones Family. Aleena loves Eugene, so it’s impossible
that she would marry Ben.”

Lara scoffed, “Had the Jones given us a break that evening, we could have just announced it to the whole wide
world. By then, she couldn’t say no even if she wanted to.” She paused. “Don’t you think it’s weird that Eugene
moved to Muse Peninsula?”
“Didn’t your sources say that Olivia also lives in Muse Peninsula? He might have done it for her.”
Lara flipped open the blanket and crept under it. “This is the part that baffled me. Even though Olivia Maxwell has
the looks and capability, she’s still a mother with a child. Why would Eugene fall for someone like that? You saw how
I tried to probe her at the birthday party; Eugene stopped me right there, as if he didn’t want us to know more
about them.”
“Yeah. Now that you said so, it did seem off.”
“I still think the kid belongs to Eugene.”
“I thought he was the son of a beggar.”
“Ben said so, but who really knows?!”
