Chapter 226
Eugene calmly raised his eyes and cast him a glance. “You are the younger brother of Olivia and I, and also the
uncle of the child, so taking care of you is something I should do!”
“I’m not. My matters have nothing to do with you!” After saying that, Brian directly turned around and left.
Eugene sat on the couch. After some time, the corner of his lips curled up into a slight arc before he got up and left.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, on one of the beds lay two patients—Anna and Amy.
Last night, it was already 3AM when Henry found Anna. Then, she was immediately sent to the hospital. After two
hours of emergency treatment, though her life was no longer in danger, her injuries were rather serious—she had a
broken leg and concussion. Her head was completely bandaged while she had bruises all over her body, and she
was in a coma.
Amy, on the other hand, had only light injuries—she only had a knife cut on her shoulder. However, every time she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsaw Anna’s tragic condition, she couldn’t hold herself back from saying a few words. “That daughter of yours has
really taken this too far. Even if Anna really took that child, she was just giving her a fright to vent her anger.
Anyway, nothing happened to the child, so there wasn’t a need for her to go overboard with this! You should report
this to the police. In fact, you should go now. I don’t think that she should act lawlessly!”
Henry lowered his eyes and kept quiet. The words that Olivia said to him last night on the phone—how could you be
so cruel—kept echoing by his ears. He, in fact, was hurt by the words; her trembling voice obviously revealed that
she had been scared to death.
“She isn’t lawless; it’s Eugene. What can you do with her when Eugene is protecting her? Anyway, it was your
daughter who lay her hands on them first.”
Amy replied, “Anna is the aunt of the child, so there was nothing wrong for her to take the child away, but Eugene
actually stabbed me. We are your wife and daughter, so how could you just watch on when we’re bullied by them?
Look at how they’ve beaten Anna up; she’s your daughter too. Don’t you feel distressed for her?”
“You felt worried when you couldn’t find your daughter, so it would only be natural for them to feel anxious when
they couldn’t find their son. You’re saying that they hit her; I would've done that as well if it weren’t for the fact that
she’s lying on the bed. She kept bullying her elder sister. I’ve advised her so many times to not do so, but has she
ever listened to me? It’s the fault of both of you that you two have ended up like this!”
Amy yelled in frustration. “Henry Maxwell! What do you mean by saying that this is our fault? Who have I ever
offended? I was stabbed without any reasons. Don’t you think that your words are too harsh?”
“It’s your daughter who did such a thing, so it’s your fault as her mother for not bringing her up well. How is this
without any reason?!”
“A child’s mistake is also the father’s fault, but now you are sitting at one side, watching us in pain, while throwing
sarcastic words at us. How are you actually helping the situation? Both Olivia and you treat us as outsiders, which
explains why you are so harsh toward us. She’s your daughter, but the two of us are just people you picked up from
somewhere else, and we are just irrelevant people to you, right?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHenry frowned. “Haven’t I gotten enough of what I deserved? I’d always loved and favored the two of you, so I
ended up like this. I was so blind that I didn’t realize that both of you kept hurting my daughter over and over again.
I love both of you, but Olivia is my daughter too, so I love her as well. But now, she probably hates me to the
bones.”
Right after he said that, the phone in his hand rang, and his assistant’s voice was heard from the phone. “President
Maxwell, w-where are you?”
Henry’s expression fell. “What’s wrong?”
The assistant’s voice sounded fearful yet cautious. “You’d better come to the company to have a look. Our
company suddenly lost a lot of orders, and plenty of employees left without regard for their salaries and bonuses!”
Hearing that, Henry’s expression tremendously changed, and he abruptly jumped to his feet from the chair. “What
did you just say? Is there someone intentionally targeting us?”
The assistant’s words were then heard. “Yes. All of them are going to work in Nolan Group. The salary and benefits
there are double of what we are given here. That company is a big company that we normally couldn’t get into, but
they stated that all your employees can immediately enter and work there if we go there today. More than half of
the employees in the company have left. I… President Maxwell, thank you for your care all this while. I’m planning
to leave as well.”
