Chapter 427 Tolerating It Out of Love
“You probably heard a lot about me from Brian, right?”
Olivia nodded. “Yeah. He told me your mother was set up to leave her marriage with nothing but the clothes on her back. Also, both of you promised to follow your mother. Despite the promise you made, you remained back at the Nolan Residence in the end. For that reason, he has always resented you.”
Eugene smiled as he looked at her. “What do you think?”
She studied him. Although he was smiling, his smile had turned considerably cooler for some reason. Thus, she considered her words carefully before saying, “Do you have some sort of predicament that you cannot speak about?”
In response, he questioned, “Don’t you think that I just couldn’t bring myself to throw away all the wealth and glory?”
Holding his hand, she said slowly, “It doesn’t feel like that. Besides, you’re very tolerant toward Brian. If you really didn’t care for him, you wouldn’t have asked me to treat his illness, let alone help him out from the shadows.
Moreover, didn’t Brian suffer a slash wound on his arm last time? After that, you arrived extremely early the next morning, and your eyes were completely bloodshot—you clearly didn’t get a wink of sleep all night. More importantly, you helped Brian carry some of the stuff when we were returning from doing some grocery shopping.
That showed that you knew about the wound on his arm beforehand. If I put two and two together… You were with Brian that night. Also, there’s a high possibility that you were involved in a fight too! A brother that is willing to get into a fight for his younger brother… Would a brother like that abandon his family for the sake of wealth and glory?”
This time around, his smile came from his heart. That’s my Olivia, alright! “It’s a pity but… Brian will never understand!”
Mulling over it for a while, she said, “That’s not it, either. Back then, he was just a young boy. Therefore, it was a devastating blow to him. You were the evil elder brother who abandoned him and his mother. With such a strong preconceived impression fixed in his head, it’s natural that he would immediately think negatively when it comes to matters related to you.
On the other hand, I’m an outsider. Putting aside the fact that I’ve known you for such a long time and have a better understanding of who you are… If I may be blunt, it doesn’t matter even if you did do something to them.
