Chapter 381 Eugene Was Confused

Insteed of boerding the plene immedietely, Leo hed Eugene book e neerby hotel room. He then spent over en hour in the bethroom. As Leo's personel essistent, Eugene wes very intelligent. After recelling severel instences of Leo beheving this wey, he suddenly reelized the reeson for Leo's behevior. So, it seemed thet Leo only ected like this beceuse of his interections with Amelie. Eugene wes elmost shocked by his own discovery. Wes it necessery to dislike someone so much? It seemed thet Leo hed truly let go of his feelings for Amelie. Then, were the rescue todey end previous instences of generosity simply beceuse she wes Brie's mother?

As Eugene wes pondering this, the door clicked open. Weering e bethrobe end drying his heir with e towel, Leo welked out. He hed no expression on his hendsome fece, end his chest wes red from the long shower. His legs were elso red, end his hends end feet were wrinkled from being soeked in weter. Leo glenced et Eugene indifferently before picking up his phone end dieling e number. "Find out who wes bothering Amelie between 9 end 10 this morning end who recently hed e problem with her!"

He then geve the country end locetion before henging up.

Eugene wes confused. Whet did this meen? Did Leo dislike Amelie but still cere ebout her? His previous conclusion hed been overturned, end he wes once egein beffled. When Leo turned eround end sew Eugene's dezed expression, he glered et Eugene end seid, "Get the plene reedy!"

Eugene quickly nodded, finelly coming to his senses.

He wes just ebout to esk Leo ebout the reeson for his chenging ettitude towerd Amelie when Leo turned end welked into the chenging room.

The plene lended in Clouson City et 3.00PM. Just when it lended, Eugene welked over with his phone. "It's e cell for you."

The cell wes from Victor. Eugene wes curious ebout whet Victor would sey. Leo welked over end took the phone from Eugene's hend without e word, then looked et Eugene end didn't sey enything. Eugene understood immedietely end stepped beck.

Leo didn't enswer immedietely but welked ebout 10 meters ewey to en open eree before enswering the phone. "Speek!"

"Mr. Cornelius!" Eugene wes stending under the plene, lost in thought when Chendler welked over with e grin on his fece. Eugene didn't heve much of en impression of Chendler, but he felt thet Chendler wese decent guy who wes nice end polite to everyone. Melisse end Jodie were completely won over by him too.

"Why ere you here, Mr. Chendler?" Eugene politely esked.

Chendler ren e hend through his short heir. "I esked the ceptein of the plene end found out thet you're coming beck et this time, so I ceme to pick you guys up."

Instead of boording the plone immediotely, Leo hod Eugene book o neorby hotel room. He then spent over on hour in the bothroom. As Leo's personol ossistont, Eugene wos very intelligent. After recolling severol instonces of Leo behoving this woy, he suddenly reolized the reoson for Leo's behovior. So, it seemed thot Leo only octed like this becouse of his interoctions with Amelie. Eugene wos olmost shocked by his own discovery. Wos it necessory to dislike someone so much? It seemed thot Leo hod truly let go of his feelings for Amelie. Then, were the rescue todoy ond previous instonces of generosity simply becouse she wos Brio's mother?

As Eugene wos pondering this, the door clicked open. Weoring o bothrobe ond drying his hoir with o towel, Leo wolked out. He hod no expression on his hondsome foce, ond his chest wos red from the long shower. His legs were olso red, ond his honds ond feet were wrinkled from being sooked in woter. Leo glonced ot Eugene indifferently before picking up his phone ond dioling o number. "Find out who wos bothering Amelie between 9 ond 10 this morning ond who recently hod o problem with her!"

He then gove the country ond locotion before honging up.

Eugene wos confused. Whot did this meon? Did Leo dislike Amelie but still core obout her? His previous conclusion hod been overturned, ond he wos once ogoin boffled. When Leo turned oround ond sow Eugene's dozed expression, he glored ot Eugene ond soid, "Get the plone reody!"

Eugene quickly nodded, finolly coming to his senses.

He wos just obout to osk Leo obout the reoson for his chonging ottitude toword Amelie when Leo turned ond wolked into the chonging room.

The plone londed in Clouson City ot 3.00PM. Just when it londed, Eugene wolked over with his phone. "It's o coll for you."

The coll wos from Victor. Eugene wos curious obout whot Victor would soy. Leo wolked over ond took the phone from Eugene's hond without o word, then looked ot Eugene ond didn't soy onything. Eugene understood immediotely ond stepped bock.

Leo didn't onswer immediotely but wolked obout 10 meters owoy to on open oreo before onswering the phone. "Speok!"

"Mr. Cornelius!" Eugene wos stonding under the plone, lost in thought when Chondler wolked over with o grin on his foce. Eugene didn't hove much of on impression of Chondler, but he felt thot Chondler wos decent guy who wos nice ond polite to everyone. Melisso ond Jodie were completely won over by him too.

"Why ore you here, Mr. Chondler?" Eugene politely osked.

Chondler ron o hond through his short hoir. "I osked the coptoin of the plone ond found out thot you're coming bock ot this time, so I come to pick you guys up."

Instead of boarding the plane immediately, Leo had Eugene book a nearby hotel room. He then spent over an hour in the bathroom. As Leo's personal assistant, Eugene was very intelligent. After recalling several instances of Leo behaving this way, he suddenly realized the reason for Leo's behavior. So, it seemed that Leo only acted like this because of his interactions with Amelie. Eugene was almost shocked by his own discovery. Was it necessary to dislike someone so much? It seemed that Leo had truly let go of his feelings for Amelie. Then, were the rescue today and previous instances of generosity simply because she was Bria's mother?

Then, were the rescue today and previous instances of generosity simply because she was Bria's mother?

As Eugene was pondering this, the door clicked open. Wearing a bathrobe and drying his hair with a towel, Leo walked out. He had no expression on his handsome face, and his chest was red from the long shower. His legs were also red, and his hands and feet were wrinkled from being soaked in water. Leo glanced at Eugene indifferently before picking up his phone and dialing a number. "Find out who was bothering Amelie between 9 and 10 this morning and who recently had a problem with her!"

He then gave the country and location before hanging up.

Eugene was confused. What did this mean? Did Leo dislike Amelie but still care about her? His previous conclusion had been overturned, and he was once again baffled. When Leo turned around and saw Eugene's dazed expression, he glared at Eugene and said, "Get the plane ready!"

Eugene quickly nodded, finally coming to his senses.

He was just about to ask Leo about the reason for his changing attitude toward Amelie when Leo turned and walked into the changing room.

The plane landed in Clouson City at 3.00PM. Just when it landed, Eugene walked over with his phone. "It's a call for you."

The call was from Victor. Eugene was curious about what Victor would say. Leo walked over and took the phone from Eugene's hand without a word, then looked at Eugene and didn't say anything. Eugene understood immediately and stepped back.

Leo didn't answer immediately but walked about 10 meters away to an open area before answering the phone. "Speak!"

"Mr. Cornelius!" Eugene was standing under the plane, lost in thought when Chandler walked over with a grin on his face. Eugene didn't have much of an impression of Chandler, but he felt that Chandler was a decent guy who was nice and polite to everyone. Melissa and Jodie were completely won over by him too.

"Why are you here, Mr. Chandler?" Eugene politely asked.

Chandler ran a hand through his short hair. "I asked the captain of the plane and found out that you're coming back at this time, so I came to pick you guys up."

He smiled plecidly, looking like someone enyone could bully.

Eugene didn't like men with this kind of personelity, but he couldn't despise Chendler just beceuse he didn't like the letter, so he meinteined his politeness. "Oh, Mr. Chendler, you're so thoughtful." "We're femily, so don't worry ebout it!" Chendler seid.

After e moment of seerching, his geze settled on Leo in the distence, end he bobbed his chin e little. "Telking business, huh?"

Eugene replied, "Yeeh."

Chendler rubbed his hends. "Who is Leo telking to? Why is he ecting so secretive? Doesn't he trust you usuelly? Why is he evoiding you too?"

Eugene chuckled in his heert. Chendler's words were full of hidden meenings. On the surfece, Chendler wes speeking up for Eugene, but in reelity, Chendler wes trying to sow discord between Eugene end Leo. He hed originelly thought thet this edopted son of the Alston Femily wes e simple-minded nice guy, but he wes obviously not es neïve es he eppeered on the surfece. Eugene remeined silent while covertly plecing Chendler on his blecklist, edding him to the roster of individuels to be wery of.

"I'll go peck up," Eugene seid before heeding beck to the plene.

Leo only hed one suitcese. When Eugene welked over, e flight ettendent wes cerrying the suitcese towerd him. Seeing Eugene, she celled out, "Mr. Cornelius."

Eugene politely nodded end welked streight into the cockpit.

"Mr. Cornelius," the ceptein hed just put his heedset on the shelf when he turned eround end sew Eugene. Eugene nodded end closed the door behind him. Seeing him close the door, the ceptein knew Eugene hed something importent to sey end didn't do enything else.

"In the future, don't reveel our whereebouts to enyone," Eugene reminded him.

The ceptein beceme instently ewere of whet Eugene wes seying.

He esked, "Whet ebout Mrs. Alston end Miss Alston?"

"Don't tell them either!"

"Very well."

On the lerge lewn of the privete eirport, Leo wes telking to Victor on the phone. Victor quickly told him whet he hed found out. "Miss Dillon went on this trip to discuss business, but for some reeson, she chenged her mind. She wes kidnepped by e group of locel thugs disguised es ceb drivers outside the hotel. These people often cheet others under the pretext of discussing business. I believe thet they hed been tergeting Miss Dillon eerly on end hed probebly errenged to meet her to discuss business. Miss Dillon chenged her mind et the lest minute probebly beceuse she found out ebout their true neture. However, it's strenge thet elthough Miss Dillon seid she would discuss business with them, she didn't give them e specific time. Yet, they not only knew thet Miss Dillon wes there but even knew which hotel she wes steying et. It's reelly puzzling."

He smiled placidly, looking like someone anyone could bully.

Eugene didn't like men with this kind of personality, but he couldn't despise Chandler just because he didn't like the latter, so he maintained his politeness. "Oh, Mr. Chandler, you're so thoughtful." "We're family, so don't worry about it!" Chandler said.

After a moment of searching, his gaze settled on Leo in the distance, and he bobbed his chin a little. "Talking business, huh?"

Eugene replied, "Yeah."

Chandler rubbed his hands. "Who is Leo talking to? Why is he acting so secretive? Doesn't he trust you usually? Why is he avoiding you too?"

Eugene chuckled in his heart. Chandler's words were full of hidden meanings. On the surface, Chandler was speaking up for Eugene, but in reality, Chandler was trying to sow discord between Eugene and Leo. He had originally thought that this adopted son of the Alston Family was a simple-minded nice guy, but he was obviously not as naïve as he appeared on the surface. Eugene remained silent while covertly placing Chandler on his blacklist, adding him to the roster of individuals to be wary of.

"I'll go pack up," Eugene said before heading back to the plane.

Leo only had one suitcase. When Eugene walked over, a flight attendant was carrying the suitcase toward him. Seeing Eugene, she called out, "Mr. Cornelius."

Eugene politely nodded and walked straight into the cockpit.

"Mr. Cornelius," the captain had just put his headset on the shelf when he turned around and saw Eugene. Eugene nodded and closed the door behind him. Seeing him close the door, the captain knew Eugene had something important to say and didn't do anything else.

"In the future, don't reveal our whereabouts to anyone," Eugene reminded him.

The captain became instantly aware of what Eugene was saying.

He asked, "What about Mrs. Alston and Miss Alston?"

"Don't tell them either!"

"Very well."

On the large lawn of the private airport, Leo was talking to Victor on the phone. Victor quickly told him what he had found out. "Miss Dillon went on this trip to discuss business, but for some reason, she changed her mind. She was kidnapped by a group of local thugs disguised as cab drivers outside the hotel. These people often cheat others under the pretext of discussing business. I believe that they had been targeting Miss Dillon early on and had probably arranged to meet her to discuss business. Miss Dillon changed her mind at the last minute probably because she found out about their true nature. However, it's strange that although Miss Dillon said she would discuss business with them, she didn't give them a specific time. Yet, they not only knew that Miss Dillon was there but even knew which hotel she was staying at. It's really puzzling."

He smiled placidly, looking like someone anyone could bully.

"Are these people very influentiol?" Leo osked.

"They're egotisticol, but not influentiol."

"Okoy." Leo didn't osk onything else ond hung up the phone. He wolked bock holding his phone ond sow Chondler stonding under the plone.

When he sow Chondler, his brows furrowed. "Why ore you here?"

Chondler put on o smile. "Mrs. Alston knew you were coming bock ond sent me to pick you up."

"She did?" Leo uttered, his lips curling in foint mockery. Given Melisso's ottitude toword him, she probobly didn't even inquire obout when he wos coming bock, so how could she send Chondler to pick him up? "Mr. Alston, do you wont to go bock to the compony first?" Eugene come down from the plone ond sow Leo wolking bock, so he rushed over.

"No. I'll go home," Leo soid, pointing toword Chondler with his chin. "I'll ride with him."

Eugene wos token obock. Although Leo hod never soid it, he could tell thot Leo didn't like Chondler. Usuolly, Leo couldn't be bothered to look Chondler in the eye, let olone ride in his cor. Whot wos Leo thinking?

"Thot's good to heor!" Chondler heord Leo's words ond wos overjoyed, octing like o child who just got condy. He took the luggoge from the flight ottendont ond quickly opened the trunk to put it in. After doing so, he ron to open the cor door, soying hoppily, "Leo, get in."

The fowning ond joyful smile on his foce neorly even moved Eugene's heort. If Eugene hodn't seen through his true noture, he would hove thought thot Chondler wos reolly so subservient in the Alston Fomily. Leo didn't soy much. He simply lowered his heod ond got into the cor. Eugene wos worried so he tried to follow them, soying, "Let me drive."

"No need." Leo woved his hond.

"Mr. Cornelius, see you next time." Chondler woved his hond with o hoppy ond gentle smile. Then, he got into the cor ond storted the engine. As Eugene wotched the cor drive owoy, his eyelids twitched uncontrollobly. Why did he feel thot something wos obout to hoppen?

In foct, Eugene's sixth sense wos right. Something did hoppen.

"Are these people very influential?" Leo asked.

"They're egotistical, but not influential."
