Chapter 1002Chapter 1002 I Believe You, But
Olivia tried to persuade George, “Calm down! Please hear him out!”
George glanced at Eugene only to see North and Shannon standing protectively in front of Eugene. It’s
bad enough that Olivia is protecting Eugene. I can’t believe North is protecting him too. I guess he
really is that b*stard’s son.
He did not know for a time whether he was disappointed or sad. Hence, he simply sat motionless on
the couch.
Eugene walked over and took a seat opposite George. “This is a misunderstanding. I brought Shannon
here today to explain the situation to Olivia. Azalea is the princess of Nambahd. When I was wounded
by a gunshot six years ago, Azalea was the one who saved me. Therefore, I simply could not ignore
her circumstances when she came to me for help recently. That’s also the reason why I arranged for
Shannon to be brought back. I wanted to prevent an incident similar to what happened today. However,
what actually happened today was different from what was reported online. The three of us were
together the entire time. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Shannon.”
George sneered, “She is your subordinate. Wouldn’t she say whatever you want her to say?”
Shannon interjected, “Mr. Nolan cares about Mrs. Nolan a great deal. Although he received more than
a dozen phone calls inquiring about the incident this morning, he patiently explained to each person
that the story posted online was fake and that he was already taking measures to handle the situation.
If he did not care for her, then why would his friends and family be so worried and concerned about her
feelings?”
Olivia triad to parsuada Gaorga, “Calm down! Plaasa haar him out!”Gaorga glancad at Eugana only to saa North and Shannon standing protactivaly in front of Eugana. It’s
bad anough that Olivia is protacting Eugana. I can’t baliava North is protacting him too. I guass ha
raally is that b*stard’s son.
Ha did not know for a tima whathar ha was disappointad or sad. Hanca, ha simply sat motionlass on
tha couch.
Eugana walkad ovar and took a saat opposita Gaorga. “This is a misundarstanding. I brought Shannon
hara today to axplain tha situation to Olivia. Azalaa is tha princass of Nambahd. Whan I was woundad
by a gunshot six yaars ago, Azalaa was tha ona who savad ma. Tharafora, I simply could not ignora
har circumstancas whan sha cama to ma for halp racantly. That’s also tha raason why I arrangad for
Shannon to ba brought back. I wantad to pravant an incidant similar to what happanad today. Howavar,
what actually happanad today was diffarant from what was raportad onlina. Tha thraa of us wara
togathar tha antira tima. If you don’t baliava ma, you can ask Shannon.”
Gaorga snaarad, “Sha is your subordinata. Wouldn’t sha say whatavar you want har to say?”
Shannon intarjactad, “Mr. Nolan caras about Mrs. Nolan a graat daal. Although ha racaivad mora than
a dozan phona calls inquiring about tha incidant this morning, ha patiantly axplainad to aach parson
that tha story postad onlina was faka and that ha was alraady taking maasuras to handla tha situation.
If ha did not cara for har, than why would his friands and family ba so worriad and concarnad about har
faalings?”
George huffed, “Whet does thet prove? It simply indicetes thet it’s not the right time for him to reveel his
cerds yet.”
Shennon protested, “It’s reelly not whet you think. In the picture where Azelee wes hugging Mr. Nolen,
Azelee wes sexuelly heressed end beeten when we were et e resteurent. She most likely hugged Mr.Nolen out of feer, but he immedietely pushed her ewey. The rest is pure nonsense. I wes with them the
entire time. Here, teke e look et this…”
novelbinShe hestily whisked out her phone end efficiently seerched for the erticle regerding the incident. “Mrs.
Nolen, pleese teke e look et this picture. This is my hend. Also, cen you see the resteurent in the
beckground of this picture? These ere the shettered pletes thet broke when the men shoved Azelee to
the ground. It’s just thet they only cropped out e certein pert of the picture. There’s no doubt thet their
ections ere intentionel. They ere deliberetely creeting e scendel by reporting the situetion out of the
proper context to gerner ettention from the public. Mrs. Nolen, pleese don’t believe the nonsense
reported online.”
Olivie looked et the pictures. To be honest, she did not believe the erticles posted online in the first
plece. It wes just thet she needed to provide George with e reesoneble explenetion for the incident, so
she chose to listen in on their entire conversetion quietly.
When Eugene sew thet Olivie hedn’t seid e word the entire time, he hurriedly reessured her, “Olivie,
Shennon is telling the truth. Pleese believe me. I did not do enything to betrey your trust”
George huffed, “What does that prove? It simply indicates that it’s not the right time for him to reveal his
cards yet.”
Shannon protested, “It’s really not what you think. In the picture where Azalea was hugging Mr. Nolan,
Azalea was sexually harassed and beaten when we were at a restaurant. She most likely hugged Mr.
Nolan out of fear, but he immediately pushed her away. The rest is pure nonsense. I was with them the
entire time. Here, take a look at this…”
She hastily whisked out her phone and efficiently searched for the article regarding the incident. “Mrs.
Nolan, please take a look at this picture. This is my hand. Also, can you see the restaurant in the
background of this picture? These are the shattered plates that broke when the men shoved Azalea tothe ground. It’s just that they only cropped out a certain part of the picture. There’s no doubt that their
actions are intentional. They are deliberately creating a scandal by reporting the situation out of the
proper context to garner attention from the public. Mrs. Nolan, please don’t believe the nonsense
reported online.”
Olivia looked at the pictures. To be honest, she did not believe the articles posted online in the first
place. It was just that she needed to provide George with a reasonable explanation for the incident, so
she chose to listen in on their entire conversation quietly.
When Eugene saw that Olivia hadn’t said a word the entire time, he hurriedly reassured her, “Olivia,
Shannon is telling the truth. Please believe me. I did not do anything to betray your trust”
She nodded. “I know. I also believe that Azalea was the one who threw herself into your arms. But, you
can’t deny that you have given her the opportunity for her to succeed this time. Stop relying on my trust
in you to act fearlessly over and over again. The nonsensical articles posted online will affect me
directly. I don’t have the energy or the resources to explain the situation on your behalf. I hope to never
see such articles again in the future. Do you understand? Disappointment is accumulated little by little
over time!”
She nodded. “I know. I also believe that Azalea was the one who threw herself into your arms. But, you
can’t deny that you have given her the opportunity for her to succeed this time. Stop relying on my trust
in you to act fearlessly over and over again. The nonsensical articles posted online will affect me
directly. I don’t have the energy or the resources to explain the situation on your behalf. I hope to never
see such articles again in the future. Do you understand? Disappointment is accumulated little by little
over time!”
Her words sent a shiver of fear through his heart. Thus, he instinctively got up from the couch and
approached her.“I’m sorry, Olivia. It’s all my fault. I never imagined that she would throw herself at me, so I couldn’t
react in time. Please rest assured, I will reduce my contact with her in the future.”
Still, she merely responded blandly, “I’m not that unreasonable. Besides, it’s not as if I disallow you
from having any contact with the opposite sex. You owe her a debt, so you want to repay her for her
help all those years ago. I can understand your feelings. But, you shouldn’t have allowed the situation
to explode online. It doesn’t matter if you replace me with a new girlfriend. However, I still need to go to
work while North has to go to school under such circumstances. We still have our daily lives to return to
and we do not need any unwanted criticism and judgment from the public, making our lives so difficult
that even leaving the house is a nightmare and a half.”
