Chapter 79
Luca murmured to Harriet, “Miss Harriet, that’s the woman who came up to me and kicked me to the ground for no
reason.”
Without even sparing anyone else a look, Harriet stared fixedly at Olivia and strode up to her. “You’re quite savage,
huh?”
The corners of her lips twitching, Olivia patiently explained, “I’m not savage. I feel just the same way you’re feeling
right now. You came over to retaliate on behalf of your friend just as I retaliated on behalf of my friend. He started
the incident.”
Snorting, Harriet demanded fiercely, “So, you’re saying that it was my brother’s fault?”
Olivia, on the other hand, remained smiling. “Nothing is ever incidental.”

All at once, Harriet looked at Kate, her gaze so ferocious that it resembled the vicious gaze of a wolf. Kate’s knees
buckled in terror at her look. No wonder this woman can compete with men in the business world. She’s just so
fierce. “He insulted me first. I was incensed, so I slapped him.”
Harriet continued staring at Kate, looking as though she’d raise a hand against her anytime. “So, it was indeed you
who hit him first?”
Taking a step forward, Olivia shielded Kate behind her. “I wasn’t planning on taking things too far since we’re all in
the same circle and would meet frequently, but it seems to be out of my control now. “Madam Grant, if someone
insulted you, groped you, and even asked you to sleep with him, would you be able to control yourself from slapping
him?”
Harriet narrowed her eyes and looked at Luca suspiciously, instantly scaring him so greatly that his heart stopped
beating for a moment. Gazing at her, he hastily explained, “Miss Harriet, that’s a lie. It was her who invited me to
do a photo shoot for her magazine. I’ve never even heard of that magazine, so I declined, but she kept harassing
me. Frustrated with the harassment, I indeed told her to get lost and dressed her down for taking advantage of my
popularity, only to have her claim that I’ve insulted her. She then slapped me right across the face. Miss Harriet, I’m
truly innocent to have disaster befalling me from nowhere.”
“Nonsense!” Kate was so livid that her face had turned bright red. At this moment, she disregarded all modesty and
snapped at him, “It was you who said that you’ll only accept the invitation if Olivia and I spend the night with you!”
Naturally, Harriet didn’t believe Olivia and Kate’s words. Her face darkened at once, and she thundered, “I don’t
care what’s incidental and what’s deliberate. Since you hit my brother, I won’t just let this slide. Either apologize to
my brother, or I’ll have someone hit you back in return. Your choice!”
Just as her words fell, an extremely soft sneer sounded. “Ah, how formidable, President Grant!”

This exclamation instantly attracted everyone’s attention. That’s right! These two ladies are acquainted with
Eugene Nolan, so he’ll probably intervene, no? There’s bound to be an interesting show.
Her brows knitting together slightly, Harriet looked over in the direction of the voice. At this time, the man who was
sitting on the sofa while surrounded on all sides was leaning back against the sofa languidly with his legs crossed,
his hands holding a cell phone that he was tapping nimbly as though playing a game, his entire person appearing
rather willful and arrogant. Harriet’s expression froze for a moment before she smiled and walked over to Eugene.
“You’re here as well, President Nolan?”
Without even lifting his head, Eugene replied, “From the very beginning.”
Chuckling in embarrassment, Harriet said, “I was enraged over my brother’s incident, so I didn’t notice you. How
remiss of me!” As she said that, she took a glass of wine from the server. “I’m sorry, President Nolan. Here, I’ll
drink to you as an apology. Please don’t take offense at me.”
Eugene didn’t raise his head, so he naturally didn’t raise his wine glass either. Instead, he continued playing the
game on his cell phone. All at once, the atmosphere plunged into an awkward silence, and everyone stared at him
in incomprehension.
