Chapter 654 Olivia was taken aback. Then, she lifted her head to look over in shock. âJennie?â
Jennie smiled and peeled the eggs as she looked at how shocked Olivia was. She complained. âYou said all those things for my own good, but I also have the right to choose to bear the consequences, right?â
She walked over to Olivia with the peeled eggs. Then, she knelt before her. âClose your eyes. Iâll do it for you.â
Olivia closed her eyes obediently and did not say anything.
âPheebs, you have no right to help me decide. I told you weâre friends, so since weâre friends, I must bear some of your burdens.â
As she said that, she sighed. âYouâre right. Iâm innocent, but Iâm not a fool. Perhaps I canât avenge you, but I can give you a shoulder to cry on and company.â
Olivia felt a lump in her throat, and her tears started flowing again.
âHey, why are you crying again? Wonât the eggs go to waste if you cry? Do you want to become the ugliest bride ever?â
Olivia laughed despite her anger. âNo! I donât want to be the ugliest.â
âStop crying if you donât want to be it, then. I know youâre grateful for me, but you canât give me your body. I also donât want your tears.â
After a while, Jennie got up and said, âOkay, done. Do you have a makeup artist? Youâre the wife of a young master, after all.â
âOf course I do. Sheâs not here yet.â
Olivia lowered her head to look at the time. âI think sheâll be here in half an hour. Letâs go downstairs to eat something.â
âOkay. Mrs. Simmons is a great cook. I want to come here and eat more often.â
âAre you not going back?â
âSigh. We donât have a physical shop, anyway, so we donât need to sit in the office all the time. Plus, there are so many things happening over here, so letâs talk about it when we settle everything. Furthermore, youâre not free, so weâve also lost the atelierâs biggest selling point, right?â
Olivia was amused. âWhen did you become such a sweet talker?â
âI learned from you.â
âIâm not...â
âOh, right. The matters with TR have been settled. The compensation has been given out, and the apology has been posted. Did you see?â
âNo.â Olivia shook her head. âIâve been pretty busy since I came back, so I didnât look.â
Jennie flicked her forehead. âGosh. This is your career, so why are you so unbothered? Pitt said someone was pressuring TR, so they were willing to settle.â
âWho?â
âYou know who it is.â
Olivia was slightly stunned and was also confused. âWho?â
âXavier.â
âXavier?â
She blinked and said with a frown, âWhy is Xavier involved in this?â
âI donât know. Pitt said Xavier found TRâs CEO and said heâll compensate them with a piece of land. He asked them to apologize and give us the compensation.â
Olivia shuddered in disbelief.
She felt unwell thinking about how she had treated Xavier in the past few days.
She seemed to have hurt someone she should not have.
At this moment, she heard honking downstairs. Jennie pulled her up and said, âThe car is here. Letâs go.â
Since the groom would depart from the hospital, they would go through a different procedure than usual.
Zac sent the driver over to take Olivia to the wedding venue before she did her makeup and changed. Meanwhile, she would wait for Zac to get there from the hospital.
When they were at the hotel, Olivia was still thinking about Xavier. She was thinking that she should find time to thank him.
Coincidentally, she ran into Kate after she got out of the car.
âMorning, Sis-in-law.â
For some reason, Olivia felt uncomfortable hearing Kate call her that. She frowned unconsciously. When Kate walked past her, she said with a grin, âSis-in-law, the showâs about to start. Are you ready?â
