Chapter 710
The two bodyguards who were holding onto her fell on the ground as well.
Penny, who only shouted out of pain, curled up on the floor and stayed silent.
Walking over, Eugene looked down upon her and warned, "Don't you dare test my patience again!"
He then ordered the bodyguards, "Bring her home. Without my explicit permission, she is to stay there at all times."
It was then Penny slowly picked herself up from the pain and looked at him, teary-eyed. "You really are a cruel
man!"
Eugene replied, "It's good that you've found that out!" After she was brought away, the ward became quiet again.
Olivia frowned at him. "Aren't you a bit too heavy- handed? She's still a girl after all."
Uneasy, Eugene grabbed her by the hands. "Aren't you one too?"

"You still feel pain, no? Stop concerning yourself with her. She deserved that. I never go looking for trouble, but
since they came knocking on my door first, they should bear the consequences of doing so!"
Olivia rebutted, "Didn't you hear that Penny never wanted to hurt me in the first place? I believe she was just a
puppet, don't you think so too?"
Still angry, Eugene did not want to stand on her side even for a little bit. "I don't. She's already in her twenties, yet
she still acts and speaks without any critical thinking. Notice how devoid of logic and reason the way she does
things. Also, she wanted to kidnap you to force me into dropping all charges. This time, I might as well just toss her
in! Since she can't get it over her thick skull, I'll just reunite them!"
Looking at the livid Eugene, Olivia was speechless for a moment.
"Well, then, why are you arguing with someone who supposedly doesn't think things through? You know she only
took the extreme route because she had no other choices left. She just doesn't have it in herself to believe that
you'd be so cruel to her. I really think both of you should sit down and talk this out. You know, getting mad is not
going to solve anything."
Smirking, Eugene rebuked, "How do you propose I do that? Did she look like she wanted to talk?"
Olivia pulled on his hands. "Okay, okay, both of you should calm down for now. It's a wise move to let her
reflect on herself at home. Perhaps she might realize her faults when the case on Lara is settled."
"I'm sorry that things have been hard on you."
"No, it hasn't. After all, you just beat Andy to a pulp and hit Penny as well. What else can I ask for?"
Smiling, Eugene looked at her lovingly. "What do you want for dinner tonight?"
Olivia responded, "Is it time to eat again? Dumplings! I want to eat dumplings!"
Eugene smiled. "Okay. I'll get my men to buy them."

Running to the bedside, North saw his mommy covered in wounds and held her hands tightly before asking in a
strained tone, "Mommy, Mommy, are you okay?"
Olivia let out a smile in return. Actually, whenever she smiled, the wound on the corner of her mouth would be
affected, which hurt a little. This caused one to be unable to differentiate whether she was smiling or crying.
"It's fine. They're just scratches. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
North looked closely at her wounds and carefully uncovered her blanket to check her body.
"Stop looking now. I'm so cold. Tuck me back in!" Olivia snatched the blanket from him.
North rolled her sleeves up again. "Let me see where you're hurt."
"That's it."
"Do you not want me to look?" With a stern look, he shot her a piercing gaze.
Pretending to be calm, she nodded. "Yup. I'm embarrassed."
In the end, North let go of her hand. Even so, he still noticed that she had multiple cuts and wounds on her legs and
body, excluding the ones already on her face and arms!
