Chase and Olivia exchanged a look, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. Shaun had been humiliated in such a way, yet Archie did nothing and firmly protected Nolan. This was utterly incomprehensible.
Given Chase's experience in the underworld, he understood the implications more clearly and immediately began to have second thoughts.
"Can't we do anything about Nolan? Do we just have to accept it?" Olivia was reluctant to accept it.
Megan gritted her teeth and said, "We have no choice. Don't expect me to take action until I figure out how he got the Spirit of Life Serum. Even I have to hold back!
"I'm willing to go all in for the Spirit of Life Serum. I might not have time to visit you in the next few days, so behave yourselves and don't cause any more trouble. That's all."
Olivia immediately asked, "Where are you going?"
Megan sneered. "Of course, I'm going to find my in-laws. Nolan doesn't want me, but can't I at least go to my in-laws and reason with them? He's all about being filial and loyal, right? I want to see how he handles this."
Upon hearing this, Olivia frowned. "Why bother with them, Megan? Is it really necessary? We could still live well even without provoking Nolan. Why do you have to torture yourself like this?"
Megan shook her head, her eyes filled with obsession and reluctance. "Mom, you don't understand. That's the Spirit of Life Serum!"
