a cell phone rang, and Gina looked at the screen. Ruby’s caller ID appeared, and a feeling of unease grew in her heart.

e walked out of the b**r store and tried to stay calm as she answered the phone. “Hello?”

surprisingly, it was Cole on the other end of the line.

look of anger appeared on Gina’s face. “Same goes for you!”

ot expecting to lose the upper hand, Cole grunted coldly and hung up, then called Olivia.

livia took a long time to answer.

Olivia, find a place to hide immediately. Don’t let Gina find you!” Cole quickly said.

Divia was still a little confused. “What’s wrong?”

1 kidnapped Ruby, and Gina’s trying to hold you hostage to threaten me,” Cole said succinctly.

Olivia’s heart s**d a beat. Her first reaction was to lash out. “Didn’t I tell you? Don’t involve me in anything you do! Are you f**g sick?”

“I’m sorry. It was an oversight,” Cole said.

Olivia hung up before Cole could continue. She couldn’t afford to waste time, and she had to run now. If Gina caught her, she’d surely die a horrible

death!

She couldn’t help but think in her heart at this moment her father Cole was truly an idiot!

Olivia seized the door and hurriedly left, shaking with anger,

Meanwhile, Gina called Gabriel as she drove to the unfinished buildings in the eastern suburbs.

“Gabriel, do me a lavor, Gina said.

It was the first time Gabriel heard Gina address him so affectionately like that, and he was momentarily pleased, but then he realized her tone was filled with anxiety. His face instantly became serious. “Gina, what do you need?”

“Help me find Olivia and bring her to the unfinished buildings in the eastern suburbs. Don’t let her escape,” Gina said, clutching the steering wheel

Okay” Gabriel replied.

Gabriel understood that now was not the time to chat with Gina. He hung up the phone and ordered David to prepare the car.

David hesitated. “Mr. Jackson, let me handle this. You have an important shareholders’ meeting to attend later”

Almost all the shareholders were already waiting for Gabriel in the conference room.

“Postpone the meeting,” Gabriel said without hesitation. Although Gina didn’t tell him anything, Gabriel could guess that it was probably Cole who had gone to lind Ruby.

Ruby was the only family member Gina acknowledged, and nothing must happen to herl

There was no way Gabriel could continue to stay in the Jackson Group and focus on the meeting with this on his mind.

“The shareholders may feel dissatisfied.” David frowned.

“I’ll personally apologize to them later.” Gabriel left those words and hurried out the door.

“Yes, Mr. Jackson.” David followed in Gabriel’s footsteps.

At Miller Jewels

Noah reluctantly agreed to meet with Olivia. He had his secretary bring her into his office

Olivia’s demeanor was tense. When she saw Noah, she stepped forward and hugged him tightly. “Noah, please, help me.”

Noah glanced at the secretary and signaled for the secretary to leave.

After the secretary left, Noah squirmed a little and tried to push Olivia away. “Don’t be like that.”

When Olivia left the Miller family, she had cut ties with everyone. Now, she came to him. It was obvious that s

inus that she was in trouble and desperate.

Noah wanted to treat Olivia coldly. After all, last time, she had exposed their unseemly relationship in front of his mother, making it hard for him to hold his head up in front of his brothers.

“Why are you coming to me? You’re not even part of the Miller family anymore, and I’m not your brother,” Noah coldly a

said.

“Noah, you’re the only one who can help me now. Please let me hide here,” Olivia said and sobbed.

She pretended to be pitiful. Her tearful and weak demeanor softened Noah. “What the hell is going on?”

It’s Gina, Gina’s after me” Olivia was afraid to tell the truth,

Noah didn’t react much, “Isn’t it normal for her to want to get back at you after everything you’ve done to her?”

Olivia was speechless for a moment

“Let me hide here, Noah,” Olivia cried.

All right” Noah agreed in the end.

After all, Olivia had been an incredible experience for him, and he still wanted something to happen between them at this moment,

Thanks, Noah!” Olivia said, relieved and wondering how long she could hide here.

back down to work.

Olivia brought him coffee and massaged his shoulders and back.

“Nosh, you work so hard,” Olivia said softly.

Noah was getting a bit aroused.

“Well, you don’t need to do that,” Noah said, raising his hand and accidentally holding Olivia’s hand. He wanted to push it away, but feeling her soft

hand, he thought of something ravishing

Instant, he was reluctant to let go.

Olivia knew exactly what men like Noah were thinking.

“Noah, if Gina comes later, will you shield me?” she asked.

Noah was instantly sobered. Was it worth starting a conflict with his own sister for Olivia? His mom was already going through a lot, trying desperately to

please Gina

“Noah just don’t let her take me, please. I’ll talk to her, apologize, beg for forgiveness. I’ll do whatever she wants, just get her to calm down and I won’t trouble you,” Olivia said.

Noah reluctantly agreed after hearing Olivia’s words. “Okay.”

“Thank you, Noah!” Olivia was a bit excited. Although she disliked Noah for being such a coward, he was the only person she could rely on now.

Olivia lowered her head and whispered in Noah’s ear, “I knew it, Noah, you’re the best.”

Her voice made Noah’s heart tingle, and he lost interest in working.

nable to resist the desire in his heart, Noah pulled Olivia into his arms.
