Chapter 205

At that moment, words were useless. Sophie was freaking out, but Jacob seemed cool and collected.

When they got caught, he looked at Olivia with a dismissive smile on his face.

Olivia and Jacob had ended their relationship before this. Olivia had thought about what it would be like to see him again. Maybe he’d be dating someone new, or even have a family. She was prepared to accept that. But she never thought he’d be dating Sophie…

Olivia stepped back until she hit a table and nearly fell over.

Seeing her about to fall, Sophie rushed over, saying, “Olivia.”

She tried to reach out to her, but Olivia pulled away just as Sophie was about to touch her.

They looked at each other, and Sophie was on the verge of tears. Sophie had always been Olivia’s close friend but had secretly loved Jacob for a long time. She never told Olivia because she didn’t want to ruin their friendship. She always wished Olivia and Jacob the best.

But after Olivia and Jacob broke up, Sophie didn’t understand. She thought maybe Olivia had fallen out of love. Seeing Jacob so depressed, she couldn’t help but comfort him. Then, when she noticed Olivia getting close to Claude, she decided to pursue Jacob. Eventually, they became more than friends.

Sophie had been wanting to tell Olivia but didn’t know how. And now, they unexpectedly ran into each other.

“Let me explain, Olivia…” Sophie began.

But Jacob interrupted by grabbing Sophie’s hand. “Sophie, Olivia and I are over. You don’t owe her an explanation. We’re together now, and that’s all that matters.”

He went on, “Besides, she was the one who ended things with me. Is it really wrong for me to move on?”

Sophie hadn’t anticipated Jacob would make such a declaration beside her. Pushed to the side, she felt a pang of guilt toward Olivia. She reached out, urging him to stop, yet he continued to smile at Olivia with a cold, triumphant expression.

It was as if seeing Olivia upset was the ultimate victory for him.

Olivia was holding onto the table, feeling her world crumbling. She was so shocked she couldn’t even cry. She just stared at them, feeling empty.

Jacob then asked, “Can we move on with our lives now, princess?”

Olivia gathered all her strength and replied weakly, “Of course.”

She wanted to leave, but Sophie stopped her.

“Olivia, please listen. I liked Jacob, but nothing happened between us until after you two broke up. He always loved you. We only got together after your breakup.”

Olivia looked at her. “Yes, Jacob and I are done. You can be with him. But I always thought of you as a friend, Soof. What am I to you?”
