Chapter 82

Eugene was a touch surprised, for he’d thought that Marcus Cohen would utter a few imploring remarks. While he

couldn’t have changed his mind, he had to answer the call for Olivia’s sake. I didn’t expect Marcus Cohen to be such

a straightforward person that he gave his artist up without even asking what had transpired. The corners of his

mouth lifted a fraction. “Sure. Let’s get together sometime.”

Marcus’ voice drifted out of the phone. “Okay. I’ll leave you to do your work first, then.”

The corners of Olivia’s mouth twitched unbidden. This cousin of mine is really smart. He’s making his stance clear

to Eugene Nolan when I’ve obviously related everything to him via WhatsApp. She deliberately had Luca make this

call so that he would harbor no illusions. Metrostar Entertainment couldn’t possibly allow an artist of his character

to stay since he’d started puffing up before even achieving anything much.

After hearing the exchange, Luca’s eyes rolled back into his head, and he almost passed out from fright. He

persisted in apologizing while bowing. “President Nolan, I’m sorry. Ladies, I’m sorry. I’ve realized my wrongdoing

now.”

Olivia threw him a placid glance and remarked indifferently, “How did Metrostar Entertainment produce such trash

like you?” After saying that, she turned and looked at Eugene. “President Nolan, since he has been fired by

Metrostar Entertainment, he’s been suitably punished after all. So, let’s just drop it at this.”

“Is this even punishment? The two of you are fine only because he was impeded by the situation, not because he

has repented and decided not to take it further,” Eugene commented placidly.

Sighing, Olivia replied, “I know. If you hadn’t been here today, the ramifications might have been disastrous for me

and Kate, but it’s tantamount to career suicide now that something like this happened to him at the height of his

career. Thus, I don’t want to pursue this matter further.”

Harriet was also a tad worried. While she hadn’t raised a hand against them, her attitude earlier was one of

retaliation, so it was a matter of a word from Eugene if he wanted payback from her. Hence, she promptly said to

Olivia, “Miss Maxwell, I’m really sorry. I mistakenly took Luca’s words for the truth and thought that he was bullied. I

then wanted to retaliate on his behalf without having understood the truth, so I owe you an apology as well.”

Looking at her, Olivia took a deep breath. “As I said, we both wanted to retaliate on behalf of our friends, so I don’t

mind. I just have a kind reminder for you—not everyone is worthy to be considered a friend. Some people aren’t

deserving of your kindness!”

Harriet nodded. “You’re right. I still need to improve my judgment of others,” she hurriedly replied. Olivia inclined

her head slightly without saying anything further.

Eugene glanced at Luca, who appeared to be a lamb awaiting slaughter, his gaze blank and helpless. “I’ll let you off

this time for Miss Maxwell’s sake, but keep your distance from her in future.”

Almost bursting into tears from the immense joy, Luca bowed low to him as though he’d been granted amnesty.

“Thank you, President Nolan! Thank you, ladies!”

Aleena, who’d witnessed the entire debacle from a corner, gritted her teeth so hard that they almost shattered.

Why is there such a big difference in his attitude? I wanted to sit with him, but he disdained me. When Olivia

Maxwell went over, however, he promptly called her over to have a seat and even helped to avenge her, getting

into a snit for her sake. Why? I like him so much! How am I inferior to her? Her nails unconsciously dug into her

flesh, but she didn’t feel any pain, her eyes brimming with undisguised hatred.

“Aleena, who’s that woman? Why does Eugene seem so protective of her?” The woman beside her stared at them

in bafflement.

Aleena snorted. “Protective? Not at all. She just knows some medical skills and happened to have saved Eugene’s

grandfather, so Eugene regards her quite highly.”

“No matter the reason, there’ll be sparks if she keeps putting herself into Eugene’s path, so you can’t just sit around

and do nothing,” the woman urged.
