Chapter 441 Something Must’ve Happened Back Then
“I was too in love with him. I wanted to be with him even though I knew his heart belonged to Lara. But, not long
after we got married, Lara came back. She said that the reason she left was that her face was burned by the fire.
She was worried that the others would find her disgusting, so she went abroad to treat her face. After listening to
her explanation, Edward was heartbroken. He got back together with Lara without even caring about what I would
think.”
Olivia and Eugene looked at each other. They didn’t expect Ellen’s marriage to have transpired like that. “He’s fond
of Lara; that’s why he believed her.”
“That’s true. But, he’s my husband after all. Of course, I didn’t want him to ignore me and act like that. I quarreled
with him but it was useless. It hadn’t even been two months since Lara’s return and he already wanted to divorce

wouldn’t agree with it. Edward couldn’t do as he pleased.”
Olivia frowned in response. “Then, why did Lara go overseas? It couldn’t be because of the wound right?” asked
Olivia.
Ellen then answered, “Of course, it wasn’t. She’s someone who only does things with purpose. There was no way
she could be selfless enough to grant me my wish. I think there might be something that was distracting her, or
maybe she failed at something. And that was why she came back for Edward!”
Olivia nodded at what Ellen said. Although she didn’t know Ellen very well, instinctually, she felt that there must
have been another reason Lara left.
Eugene went on to ask, “If he likes Lara and doesn’t have feelings for you, there was also no reason for him to be
so ruthless. Is there anything else that I don’t know?”
“When I divorced your Dad, he said something and I still can’t understand what that was supposed to mean even
until today. He said that since we were once married, he’ll let bygones be bygones. He told me he won’t hold me
responsible for anything, but he has only been in love with Lara from the very beginning. All I felt was irony back
then. He messed up my reputation, made me homeless, and then he had the audacity to say that he wouldn’t look
into the matter anymore on account that we were once married! I thought he was talking about me giving birth to
Brian behind his back, but he knew about that all along. There was no reason for him to mention that during the
divorce.”
Eugene exchanged another glance with the others. “Then, he must have been talking about something else.”
Olivia nodded. “It seems like you will have to find out what happened back then.”
Eugene then hummed in agreement.
“Mommy, haven’t you been looking for the wrong person?” asked North coolly.
Looking toward the little boy, Olivia laughed helplessly. “Yeah. I should’ve asked you. Can you help me then?”

Ellen was surprised as she looked at North. What are they talking about?
Eugene tugged North into his embrace with a proud expression. “Mom, your grandson is much better than me. If
there’s something you want to find out, it would be better if you were to give him the task.”
“Really? Is my lil’ grandson so marvelous?” Ellen asked in bewilderment.
North grinned, showing his teeth. “It’s nothing!”
“It’s nothing? My company lost more than forty million because of you! How are we going to get even with that?”
snorted Brian.
North looked at him provocatively. “If you think you’ve lost too little, I can help you with it!”
Brian was so annoyed that he gritted his teeth. “Help me? You better watch out.” As he was saying this, he reached
out, trying to grab North.
North broke away from Eugene’s embrace and plunged into Ellen’s arms. “Grandma, your son is bullying me!”
