Super Wife's Three Babies novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73 A Night Out

“That’s not it. I thought they have an inkling that we are investigating the matter, which was why they had the maid be their scapegoat,” Eugene replied.

A frown formed on Olivia’s face while she asked, “Do you mean she wasn’t the mastermind?”

“A maid wouldn’t be so bold,” Eugene scoffed.

A frown formed on Olivia’s face as the reply he gave reminded her of what Old Master Nolan said about the absence of familial relationships. A sense of uncertainty lingered in her gaze as she looked toward him, all the while unsure how she should face him, and if she should pity him or console him. “D-Do you have a suspect? Would it be among your family members, just for that inheritance?”

“I don’t know.” To Eugene, the matter was a hard topic to breach as his family had done far more than that, which was why he opted for an ambiguous answer after taking a deep breath.

Upon realizing that they were merely acquaintances, Olivia had a sudden feeling that she shouldn’t have asked about the matter, so she didn’t pry any further. Instead, she opted to remind him, “You should probably arrange for some bodyguards to protect your grandfather secretly.”

“I will be doing just that. Thank you for your time today, and I will have someone transfer the consultation fee to you.” Eugene nodded as he spoke.

“You don’t have to be so polite. I should be the one to thank you instead. Your timely arrival saved me from a disastrous outcome,” she replied.

Memory of the incident that happened prior to his arrival triggered a sense of shame within Eugene, as Robin wouldn’t have been able to find fault with Olivia if he hadn’t introduced her to that rowdy bunch. He felt responsible for what happend, thus he told her, “I won’t let what they did go unpunished, so you don’t have to worry.” Unbeknownst to him, what he said sounded like a promise more than anything else.

Soon came the following night. Olivia got a call from Kate, during which the latter requested for her company to attend a gathering together. Thus, she left North at Nathan’s place, which was a delight to North. As a games developer, every game that Nathan developed would first go through North, so visits to Nathan’s house was North’s favorite activity.

Just as they arrived at Nathan’s place, North ushered Olivia to leave and even offered cordially, “You won’t have to come fetch me tonight as it will be quite late when you’re done, I will be sleeping at Nathan’s house.”
