Chapter 1280 Olivia Is Pregnant
Of course, the temptation was not from what Eugene said, but from the gentlewoman herself. If they lived together every day…
However, his research hadn’t succeeded yet, so how could he indulge in such pleasures?
The light in his eyes seemed to dim a bit when he thought of this. “Let’s talk about that later. I have devoted my whole life to this research, and I don’t want to give up halfway.”
Eugene nodded. “I understand. I didn’t mean for you to make a decision now. The child’s illness hasn’t been cured yet, so we might need to stay a little longer to find a new match.”
Hector turned to him with suspicion in his eyes upon hearing this. “What do you mean? Did something happen to Mason?”
Eugene sighed. It seemed that Hector was also another one who wasn’t in the know.
So, he swallowed before turning to Hector and said, “Mason is dead. He was killed.”
Hector seemed to have not heard clearly, or perhaps disbelief had addled his hearing. So, he furrowed his brows and asked again, “What did you say?” Eugene replied, “He was strangled to death with a steel wire around 4.00AM to 5.00AM. It was clearly a deliberate act of revenge.”
Hector took a couple of minutes to digest this information before speaking again, “So, Olivia fainted because she learned about this?”
Eugene nodded. “Yes. Not only does Blake not have a bone marrow match, but we also owe Mason a life. That’s why Olivia had such extreme emotional fluctuations, leading to her loss of consciousness.”
Hector inhaled deeply as all the pieces fell into place. No wonder… “Do you know who killed him?”
Eugene explained, “It was Blood Rose from the Double Dragon Court. They had conflicts with Olivia, Jewel, and the others years ago, and they’ve caused trouble for Olivia and Jewel several times recently. I’ve been focusing on protecting Olivia and Jewel during this time, but I didn’t expect her to target Mason in her quest for vengeance.”
Hector said, “Olivia and George did bring this thing up to me. It was hard enough for them to leave that place, so try to avoid getting involved with the Double Dragon Court if possible.”
Eugene replied, “Now, apart from the fact that she has stepped on my sore spot, I also have an old grudge to settle with her for nearly killing Jewel a few years ago.”
As Hector had spent a considerable amount of time together with Eugene, he naturally understood their relationship. Jewel was the little girl they tried to ransom with money back then, only to find out that she had already died.
Later, they narrowly escaped death.
