Olivia said disdainfully, âEthan, others might not understand you, but I do. From the moment I met you until now, youâve been loafing around all day. What good projects can you have? How can a person like you land a good project?â
Ethan was angry. âAre you looking down on ine?â
Tm just telling the truth, okay?â
âIâm not the same as before, Olivia. Harry supports this project. He has assigned me to an internationally renowned professional medical team. This project will succeed.â
Olivia was a little surprised. âYou? Harry Jackson helped you?â
âYeah? Whatâs so strange about that? He thinks Iâm the best of me among his grandchildren, so he handed this project to me.â
Olivia was puzzled. âDonât you think itâs strange he doesnât give it to his child or direct grandchild? Besides, Iâve never seen you being close to Harry. Doesnât this bother you?â As Ethanâs ex fiancée, Olivia knew some things about The Jackson family.
âSo what? Harry is divorced. His only daughter was taken away by his ex-wife overseas. He has been living alone for decades, and Iâve thought it through when he entrusted me with this project. I wonât forget his kindness. In the future, Iâll treat him like he were my grandpa!â Ethan said confidently.
Olivia was not interested in Ethan and Harryâs relationship. Instead, she was a little curious about the project in Ethanâs hands. âYouâre saying youâre working on a medical project, right Has Gabriel agreed? Ethan, wouldnât you become Ginaâs competitor by taking this medical project?â Olivia smiled sarcastically.
Ethan sneered. âYouâre right. However, itâs not that Gabriel disagrees. Gina said our project wouldnât work and stated it before Harry. She even insisted on discontinuing this project. Heh, who does she think she is? What a shameless b*tch. Fortunately, my grandfather didnât choose to listen to ber that time.â When Ethan mentioned his grandpa, Neil, he thought about when Gabriel almost choked him to death and bow Neil stood idle on the side. He felt disappointed and determined not to be as filial and respectful to Neil.
âBy the way, let go of me!â Ethan ordered.
Olivia gripped the fruit knife tightly. âPromise you wonât hit me again?â
âI promise, I promise! Ethan answered. He knew he had wronged Olivia but didnât feel quite guilty.
After being untied, Ethan remembered something urgent. âBy the way, who knocked me out?â
Olivia didnât tell the truth. âIt was one of my neighbors. They heard me shouting for help and knocked you out. Donât think about finding trouble with them, okay?â
âSo Iâm just going to get beaten up for nothing?â Ethan was displeased.
Hearing this, Olivia was getting annoyed. âDo you want my help or not? If Iâm telling you not to pursue the matter, donât pursue it, got it?â
âAlright, alright.â Ethanâs mind wasnât at ease. He felt Olivia was lying. A neighbor hear you scream? Be serious. This buildin is pretty quiet when I come in. Besides, if they knew Olivia was in distress, why did nobody call the police?â
âYou can leave now,â Olivia said.
Ethan wasnât interested in staying any longer. âDonât forget what told you to doâ
Olivia sent Ethan off. Just as she closed the door, she heard another knock. She thought Ethan had left something behind and opened the door impatiently. âWhat is it now?â

When she opened the door, she saw Andy. âAndy? Whatâs the matter?â Olivia came to her senses.
Andy saw the bruises on Oliviaâs face. âYou⦠did the man who just left caused this? Are you alright? Shall I call the police for
you?
âNo need,â Olivia rejected.
âNo need? Look at your face, itâs beaten up!â Andy looked concerned.
âWe were just playing around,â Olivia said casually.
âPlaying around?â For a moment, Andy couldnât wrap his head around it. How does someone play around and cause serious injury?â He didnât believe Oliviaâs words.
âDoes it hurt? Iâll help you treat it, okay?â Andy said, seemingly kindly.
Olivia was oblivious to what Andy was thinking. âNo need. Iâm going to sleep.â
Suddenly, Andy pressed Olivia against the door. âOlivia, youâve been acting a little strange recently. Why are you ignoring me? Werenât you hopelessly in love with me back then?â
The fact was that Olivia had been busy. She was so busy that she had no time to meet a bootlicker such as Andy. Moreover, Andy was a terrible bootlicker. Hence, Olivia threw him to the back of her mind. âIâm getting tired of you. Are you satisfied with this answer?â
Iâm not done yet. Donât forget that you were the one who provoked me first!â Andyâs face turned serious.
Hearing his words, Olivia took a deep breath, âAlright, let me straighten things up with you. We both have our love partners. So, letâs pretend that our history never exists, okay?â

âHow can I pretend that it never happened?â Andy Speared. âAnd how many boyfriends do you have exactly? What about
I met on the way? Is he one of yours? Why didnât you call the police and report domestic abuse? Or did you have a bondage sex with him? I have to say, youâre quite good at it. That must be one of your clients, right?â

Olivia didnât expect Andy to speak so blatantly. She raised her hand and slapped his face. âWatch your mouth!â
Andy flew into a rage out of humiliation. âHow dare you slap me
He wanted to retaliate, but Olivia warned him, âThink about the consequences before you slap me. I can call your mom a your fiancée over. Then, Iâll tell them everything that happened between us. How about it? Do you still have the guts to s

Andyâs raised hand stopped mid-air. Then, he pointed at Oliviaâs face. âAlright, alright, youâre good!â Then, he turned around and left.
At Jackson Group, Gabriel had finished his work and prepared to leave to pick up Gina at the train station. She had returned from Mikeâs hometown.
âThereâs still half an hour until I arrive at the station. So, itâs okay to drive slowly.â Gina explained.
âOkayâ Gabriel was in a good mood after hearing Ginaâs voice.
Just as he was about to leave his room, someone pushed the door and entered. That person was Hannah, Jasmineâs mother. Her eyes were bloodshot red. She looked exhausted and haggard as she said hoarsely, âGabriel, do you have time? Jasmine is awake, but sheâs not in a good state. Could you please go to the hospital to see her?â
Gabriel didnât want to go. He agreed to pick up Gina. But considering the relationship between the two families, he politely

refused. âIs it okay if I visit her another day? Thereâs something urgent I need to take care of. My hands are tied.â
Hannah didnât give up. As Gabriel left, she chased after him and asked, âBusiness or personal matters?â
Gabriel frowned and didnât answer. At the same time. David walked toward him and reported, âMr. Jackson, your car is ready. You can go to the station to pick up Miss Miller.â
When Hannah heard this, she understood. âSo Gabriel, youâre in a hurry to date Gina?â
