Chapter 558 âWhy?â
Jennie frowned and asked, âIs there something youâre hiding from me?â
âNo.â
âNo?â
Jennie did not believe it, so she grabbed Oliviaâs hand. âLook at me when you say that.â
Olivia turned to look at her. âI am looking at you, and the answer is still no.â
âYouâre lying.â
âIâm not.â
âThen why donât you tell me about your relationship with Mr. Freeman?â Jennie stared at her. âLast night, Mr. Freeman told me that you two are husband and wife and that you havenât divorced. Donât you think you owe me an explanation?â
Upon hearing this, Olivia froze. She shook off Jennieâs hand and took a step back.
She knew that something that should not have happened must have happened last night.
âGive me an explanation, and Iâll believe you.â
âI...â Olivia did not dare to look at Jennie. She swallowed and said, âHeâs just talking nonsense. I have nothing to do with him. He must have gotten the wrong person.â
âThe wrong person?â Jennie narrowed her eyes and stared at her for a while. Then, she said, â Okay, letâs take it as him thinking youâre someone else. After all, this is your private life, and I have no right to ask.â
âThen tell me, why did you just apologize? Why did you say that you nearly got me killed?â
Being pressed on such a question, Olivia bit her lip and looked at Jennie nervously. She knew that she could not hide anymore.
In order to make Jennie leave as soon as possible, she took a deep breath and said, âYes, I am indeed hiding something from you. Itâs because I think TRâs incident is clearly aimed at me, and I am their target.
âOtherwise, why would TR target us? Weâre such a niche brand.
âWhy do you think lawyers around the world are afraid to take our case?
âAlso, how do you think you got into that accident? Itâs because someone is targeting me and wants to take your life to force me to admit defeat.â
Jennie opened her mouth wide and looked at her in astonishment. âWhy?â
âWhy?â
Olivia herself also wondered why John insisted on getting involved with her.
Was it because she stabbed him four years ago?
However, he hurt her with more than just a stab.
He said he did not mind, but she did not know what he felt in his heart.
She forced a smile. âMaybe there is no reason. Maybe itâs because Iâm âthe oneâ. Thatâs all.â
Upon hearing this, Jennie stared at her blankly. After a while, she asked, âPheebs, who are you?â
Oliviaâs heart skipped a beat, and she balled up her fists.
âWhy do you ask?â
Jennie looked at her and bowed her head in silence for a while. After that, she raised her head and looked at Olivia with a hand on her forehead. âPheebs, I... If a company as big as TR is targeting you, you must not be an ordinary person, right? Is this why you never talk about the past with me?â
After she said that, she shook her head again before Olivia could reply. âNo, I shouldnât have asked you that...â
âJennie, Iâm sorry... I didnât tell you because I donât want you to overthink and I donât want you to worry too much.â
Olivia bit her lip. âJennie, you should leave once youâre healed, okay? Please. I really donât want anything to happen to you.â
âIâm not leaving.â
âJennie!â
âPhoebe.â Jennie looked at her. âWeâve known each other for three years, and you consider me a friend, right?â
Olivia nodded.
âIf you think of me as a friend, then I will never abandon you.â
As she said that, she took Oliviaâs hand. âYouâre not alone now. I am here too. Now that itâs a crisis, I canât ignore it.
âYou donât have to worry about the car accident at all. It was because I was hungover and had a headache, so I didnât look at the traffic lights when I was crossing the road. Thatâs why I was hit.â
Olivia was taken aback and looked at her incredulously.
She thought that Jennie would be angry and scold her, but not only was she not angry, she even wanted to stay and protect her...
âHowever, since we are friends, I hope you can tell me the truth about Mr. Freeman.â
