Chapter 681

Once they got into the room, Nicole poured Penny a glass of water. "Stop crying. Drink some water," Nicole uttered.

Penny took the glass from her. "How did he change so quickly?" she asked while crying.

Nicole let out a sigh as she got Penny to sit down. "You shouldn't be sad over this anymore. Eugene's just too heartless. He wasn't like this in the past. He used to be so good to you and all of his friends. Now… Ah! Fine. Perhaps our sudden appearance today threw him off. I guess he had no choice but to speak his true feelings when you questioned him," Nicole replied.

Penny slammed the glass down on the table with a loud smack. "Now that he has a wife and a son, he no longer cares about anyone else. He left Old Man Nolan all alone at home during the new year, and he brought his family over on vacation here. I don't believe it when he says that it isn't because of Olivia. He wouldn't be so guarded if it weren't for Olivia!"

"He doesn't have a choice. He has to protect her since she's his girlfriend. Come to think of it, Ellen and your mother had a grudge against one another since years ago, yet he had never thought of hurting your mother as he was worried that Old Man Nolan wouldn't be able to handle it. In the end, he only got involved because your mother messed around with Olivia. Eugene was the first to jump to the rescue then. However, his response had been a little too intense. He can ignore the feelings of others, but not yours. Imagine having your family in jail and your entire home ruined for the new year celebration. No one would be able to handle such a thing," Nicole uttered.

Penny was crying harder at this point. "Who does he think of apart from Olivia? He doesn't care about anyone else. Didn't you hear him threatening to mess with my parents? Do you think he's even human?!"

"So, I don't think you should go against his wishes anymore. You may be close to him, but I don't think he'll give in when he has to protect Olivia," Nicole responded.

She ruined my family." When Nicole heard what Penny said, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow before speaking. "You shouldn't
