Chapter 57 Sleeping for Too Long
Olivia glanced sideways at Eugene. “I see. So, you are a man who treats people differently according to their social status, Mr. Nolan.”
Eugene replied, “What? I only said that if you had revealed your identity from the start, we wouldn’t have taken so many detours! That said, don’t you think I have pretty good foresight? Investing in you is the same as hiring you under the Nolan Group!”
She was speechless. He managed to turn it around again.
On the other hand, he seemed to be in a good mood. His lips were curved in a constant smile as he said, “Let’s go. I’ll send you back!”
She refused his offer as usual. “No need; I’ll just get a taxi.”
“There’s a perfectly good car right here; why do you need to get a taxi?”
Thus, she didn’t refuse again and got into his car. “Thank you for today.”
“Why are you thanking me? I only did what I should have done. By the way, how do you plan to settle this matter? Are you going to just forget it?”
She took a deep breath. “Yeah, she was completely and utterly shamed for her actions. Moreover, she was disqualified from the competition. That’s enough.”
“You sure are easy-going!”
Olivia’s gaze became distant. “I just don’t want to see her anymore. My mother’s death anniversary is coming up soon. So, I’ll just think of it as a means of accumulating good karma on behalf of my mother.”
A flash of surprise flitted across Eugene’s face. Her mother has passed away?
He was just about to console her when he received a phone call from Jade saying that Old Man Nolan had yet to awaken from his sleep. After hanging up the call, he anxiously looked over at Olivia and asked, “Is it a problem if Old Man Nolan sleeps for too long?”
She was surprised by his question. “Too long? How long is too long?”
He looked worried. “My sister said that he has been sleeping since 9 PM last night and has not woken up yet. Can you go with me to check up on him?”
Glancing at the time, she saw that it was past 11 AM by now. Thus, she hurriedly said, “Sure. Calm down. I need to go back home and take some stuff before I can go over.”
