Chapter 179 Your Cousin
Once Marcus noticed that Eugene was smitten with Olivia, he instantly saw Eugene in a more affable light instead of fearing him. After all, Marcus was a cousin of Olivia!
Of course, Eugene was aware of the dynamics of the relationship and behaved well in front of Marcus. After all, he was pursuing Marcus’ cousin. Therefore, he obediently agreed, “Okay!”
Then, he instantly downed the alcohol in Olivia’s glass and poured himself another, smiling and declaring, “Marcus, my fellow cousin, thank you for showing up.” Next, he raised his glass at Marcus courteously.
Following that, Marcus stood up with a smile. “You’re too gracious. I wish nothing but the best for the studio business.”
Everyone at the table cheered them on with gossiping expressions. Kate was especially agitated at the scene, to which Nathan gave a side-eye. “You idiot. They’re only toasting, but why are you getting all excited?”
She glared at him. “I just love it. It’s none of your business.”
Melanie’s eyes quietly moved between Nathan and Kate as her lips curled up in mockery. Then, she gently took a sip of the drink in front of her. However, Brian’s expression fell, and he wondered if Eugene and Olivia were together. Isn’t he afraid of burdening her?
Staring at Eugene, Brian’s gaze sharpened. “You’re addressing Marcus as a cousin of yours, huh? Do you have another identity aside from a stakeholder of the studio?”
Olivia tried hard to think with her numb brain as she looked at Eugene in confusion. Yeah! Why did he claim that Marcus is one of his cousins?
Eugene stared Brian down as he calmly explained, “I’m a friend of Olivia’s, and Marcus is her cousin, so I see him as a cousin of mine too. Is it wrong for me to address Marcus the way Olivia addresses him?”
