Chapter 84 Crash and Burn
Serenity nodded with a smile. Then, she sat down a fair distance away from them with her lute in her arms. In no time, the crisp and sweet strains of music floated in the room. Meanwhile, the other ladies exclaimed jokingly, “Don’t purify yourself, Mr. Road! We love you as you are.”
Chuckling, Alex remarked, “That makes sense. Mr. Nolan here is chaste, so I’m your only hope. How does the saying go again? If I don’t sacrifice myself for the greater good, who will?”
“Pfft…” The ladies giggled, while Eugene shot him an affronted glare. “You should have a care lest I throw up at that gross remark!”
Unfazed, Alex leaned close to him with curiosity written all over his face. “So, what exactly happened? I heard that you even crushed Harriet Grant? Isn’t there a collaboration between Grant Group and Nolan Group?”
Downing his glass of wine, Eugene replied with utter distaste, “She can’t manage her brother well, so I kindly helped her out!”
“Her target was Olivia Maxwell, so what has it got to do with you?” Alex asked in feigned bafflement, craftiness concealed in his eyes.
“Could I have just ignored it when she was right beside me?” Eugene retorted.
Alex arched an eyebrow even as he smirked slyly. “Really? Do you just like her that much?”
Cutting him a glare, Eugene stubbornly declared, “What that man did was practically slapping me across the face right before me, so I just didn’t like him. What has it got to do with liking her?”
Alex curled his lips and exclaimed, “Cut that crap! Did you think I don’t know you? When have you, Eugene Nolan, ever loved poking your nose into someone else’s affairs?”
“He just had to come and seek death, so what could I do?” Eugene shot back.
Alex exchanged a look with Hayden. “You’re sure you don’t like her?”
