Chapter 80
It was only when the game had ended did Eugene put down his cell phone and looked up at Harriet who was still
holding up a wine glass. He then languidly picked up the wine glass before him and clinked it to hers. “You
exaggerate, President Grant. Who am I to take offense to whoever you deign to notice?”
“No, no. Although I’m a few years older than you, everyone knows your finesse in the business world, President
Nolan. I still have much to learn from you,” Harriet replied deferentially.
“You flatter me,” Eugene commented mildly. After saying that, he looked at Olivia. “Olivia, come here!” It was the
first time he’d ever addressed her thus, which Olivia found both refreshing and embarrassing. Knowing that he was
doing this for her sake, she tugged Kate over and sat down beside him without any protest.
Entirely dumbfounded, Harriet looked at Eugene with an incredulous look in her eyes. “President Nolan, these two

Eugene lifted his eyes to hers, his gaze sharp. “My friends!”
With just these two words, the two of them were pulled into his circle, and this elevation in status was very much
significant. Those who’d thought that they had no popularity or repute were now looking on in envy as they rose to
the heights they hankered.
Harriet chuckled. “Oh, it must have been a misunderstanding since they’re your friends, President Nolan.”
Eugene, however, didn’t respond to that. “I caught bits and pieces earlier, but I couldn’t quite make out the
situation. Was it my two friends who hit your brother?” he asked instead.
Harriet naturally didn’t dare affirm it. “No, it’s probably a misunderstanding. Since they’re your friends, President
Nolan, I’ll just forget about this,” she replied immediately.
“You sound rather reluctant. It seems that it’s truly my two friends who are at fault here.” With a hint of ridicule in
his voice, Eugene sneered, “Logan, go and get the CCTV footage. After all, I’ve got to ascertain who’s at fault here
and give President Grant a reasonable explanation.”
While Logan wanted to keep the peace, he wasn’t foolish. Since Eugene had intervened in this matter, he naturally
had to look to him. At this moment, Eugene was obviously siding with the two women, so he naturally couldn’t
protest. Offending anyone else isn’t a problem as long as I stay on Eugene Nolan’s good side. Thus, he went straight
to the security room.
It was only now that Luca was beginning to regret stirring the pot. I thought it was a guaranteed win with Harriet
Grant as my backing, but I never thought that we’d bump into Eugene Nolan, let alone imagined that these two
women just happened to be his friends. Even if I want to leave now, that’s probably impossible. I only hope that this
old woman will be able to protect me from being annihilated by Eugene Nolan later.
Logan was fairly quick, and he got the CCTV footage in no time. Although the CCTV footage had sound, there were
too many people talking, so the words weren’t quite intelligible. Besides, Luca’s voice was soft in the first place.
However, the video was rather clear after zooming in, showing Luca glancing over at Olivia before saying

something to Kate, which caused her expression to change and to grow infuriated at him. With a lascivious smirk,
he then stretched out an arm and yanked Kate into his embrace, his hand moving from her waist to her bottom, his
expression lewd.
Immediately after, Kate shoved him away and slapped him across his face. Luca’s expression then instantly turned
vicious, and he slapped her in return, throwing her clear off her feet. At this time, the voices in the lobby quietened
considerably, and Luca lambasted Kate, “Do you think you’re such a big deal just because you’re the editor-in-chief
of a magazine I’ve never even heard of? If you want me to help you, you either do as I say or get lost! Who the hell
do you think you are that you even dared to hit me? F*ck off!” This utterance was clear as a bell, including the
dressing down of him being ignorant, immoral, perverted, and shameless from Olivia after she’d given him a swift
kick. It was simply a magnificent sight!
