Chapter 1001 Taking a Hit in Exchange for Forgiveness
Eugene hurriedly introduced them, "This is Shannon Miller, the bodyguard I assigned to protect Azalea. This is my
girlfriend."
Shannon smiled and bowed in greeting. "Hello, Mrs. Nolan."
"Oh! Do come in." Olivia immediately placed a hand on Shannon's shoulder and led her in without paying him any
attention.
Shannon stared at Olivia's face for a moment before saying bashfully, "Mrs. Nolan, you're very pretty. It's no
wonder they often praise you for your looks."
Olivia inquired curiously, "Oh?"
Shannon smiled. "The people at Promise Island always had things to say about your beauty! They often claim that
you're absolutely gorgeous, Mrs. Nolan. Now that I've met you, I can see that they were indeed speaking the truth."
Olivia giggled in amusement. "Don't listen to them. I haven't combed or washed my hair recently. How can I be
pretty? You're the pretty one here."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"No! You're truly beautiful. I'm not just being polite! I can't believe how pretty you are without any makeup! I'm sure
you'll be so stunning that men would forget themselves if you dress up a little!"
Olivia had to admit that this woman was lovely. Although she felt rather embarrassed, she couldn't help smiling
happily. Nobody disliked receiving compliments, especially when those were remarks praising her beauty!
Eugene's mood instantly improved when he saw the smile on her face. He teasingly said, "That's enough. If you
praise her anymore, she will become a tomato."
She immediately turned her head and shot him a playful glare.
He merely chuckled lightly as he changed his shoes into indoor shoes and walked inside. However, he had only
taken several steps forward when he felt a current of air blowing past him. It was immediately followed by a punch
to his lower jaw.
It was George. Although Eugene had not only seen George coming at him but could also have dodged the blow, he
did not budge an inch. He had stolen the woman George had been protecting for seven to eight years after all.
More importantly, Olivia's fury might dissipate slightly after watching him getting beaten. It couldn't hurt to take a
hit in exchange for her forgiveness.
George had used all his strength in this blow. As a result, Eugene staggered backward slightly before he finally
regained his balance.
Shannon was shocked by the sudden attack that she instinctively restrained George and glared at him warily. "Why
are you being so violent?"
Likewise, Olivia had been frightened by the unexpected situation. She exclaimed in terror, "Eugene!"
She immediately ran toward Eugene but when she saw the blood at the corner of his mouth, she turned around to
glare at George. Then, she demanded angrily, "George, what are you doing?"
George straightened his clothing and glanced at Eugene with a soft snort. "I've said this before; I would pummel the
guy who bullied you back then if I ever came across him!"
North walked over with a worried look on his face and handed the handkerchief in his hand to Eugene.
Eugene took the handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Then, he turned to George and
patiently explained, "I was also a victim of various malicious schemes back then. Truthfully, I have been looking for
both mother and child throughout the years."
George snorted in derision. "Stop with your excuses. Olivia might believe you, but I don't."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith indifference toward George's attitude, Eugene continued his explanation, "You can ask North. He was the one
who investigated the incident back then, and that was how I managed to reunite with them. I know you are worried.
You're worried that she might suffer various grievances if she remains by my side, but I swear to you, I will never let
the same thing happen to them again. Olivia and North have suffered enough for seven years. It's only thanks to
your care and protection that they are here today. I am very grateful to you. Truly, I've always wanted to thank you
in person."
George frowned and waved his hand impatiently. "Enough! You can direct those flowery words to somebody else! I
don't believe you! Olivia was just telling me about how well you treated her and how disciplined you were. However,
I see you online with another woman less than ten minutes later! Who was that? Your new girlfriend? If you love her
and you're willing to go to the ends of the world for her, then what about Olivia? Where does she stand in your
heart?"
After he said that, he grabbed Eugene by his collar.
Eugene remained motionless, but everybody in the room leaped into action at the same time.
Olivia grabbed George and pushed him onto the couch. "George, we can talk things out! Please don't resort to
violence!"
George spat disdainfully, "How can you protect a worthless piece of scum like him?"
