Olivia said disdainfully, “Ethan, others might not understand you, but I do. From the moment I met you until now, you’ve been loafing around all day. What good projects can you have? How can a person like you land a good project?”
Ethan was angry. “Are you looking down on ine?”
Tm just telling the truth, okay?”
“I’m 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.”
Olivia was a little surprised. “You? Harry Jackson helped you?”
“Yeah? What’s so strange about that? He thinks I’m the best of me among his grandchildren, so he handed this project to me.”
Olivia was puzzled. “Don’t you think it’s strange he doesn’t give it to his child or direct grandchild? Besides, I’ve never seen you being close to Harry. Doesn’t this bother you?” As Ethan’s ex fiancée, Olivia knew some things about The Jackson family.
“So what? Harry is divorced. His only daughter was taken away by his ex-wife overseas. He has been living alone for decades, and I’ve thought it through when he entrusted me with this project. I won’t forget his kindness. In the future, I’ll treat him like he were my grandpa!” Ethan said confidently.
Olivia was not interested in Ethan and Harry’s relationship. Instead, she was a little curious about the project in Ethan’s hands. “You’re saying you’re working on a medical project, right Has Gabriel agreed? Ethan, wouldn’t you become Gina’s competitor by taking this medical project?” Olivia smiled sarcastically.
Ethan sneered. “You’re right. However, it’s not that Gabriel disagrees. Gina said our project wouldn’t 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 didn’t choose to listen to ber that time.” 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.
“By the way, let go of me!” Ethan ordered.
Olivia gripped the fruit knife tightly. “Promise you won’t hit me again?”
“I promise, I promise! Ethan answered. He knew he had wronged Olivia but didn’t feel quite guilty.
After being untied, Ethan remembered something urgent. “By the way, who knocked me out?”
Olivia didn’t tell the truth. “It was one of my neighbors. They heard me shouting for help and knocked you out. Don’t think about finding trouble with them, okay?”
“So I’m just going to get beaten up for nothing?” Ethan was displeased.
Hearing this, Olivia was getting annoyed. “Do you want my help or not? If I’m telling you not to pursue the matter, don’t pursue it, got it?”
“Alright, alright.” Ethan’s mind wasn’t 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?”
“You can leave now,” Olivia said.
Ethan wasn’t interested in staying any longer. “Don’t forget what told you to do”
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. “What is it now?”

When she opened the door, she saw Andy. “Andy? What’s the matter?” Olivia came to her senses.
Andy saw the bruises on Olivia’s face. “You… did the man who just left caused this? Are you alright? Shall I call the police for
you?
“No need,” Olivia rejected.
‘No need? Look at your face, it’s beaten up!” Andy looked concerned.
“We were just playing around,” Olivia said casually.
“Playing around?” For a moment, Andy couldn’t wrap his head around it. How does someone play around and cause serious injury?’ He didn’t believe Olivia’s words.
“Does it hurt? I’ll help you treat it, okay?” Andy said, seemingly kindly.
Olivia was oblivious to what Andy was thinking. “No need. I’m going to sleep.”
Suddenly, Andy pressed Olivia against the door. “Olivia, you’ve been acting a little strange recently. Why are you ignoring me? Weren’t you hopelessly in love with me back then?”
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. “I’m getting tired of you. Are you satisfied with this answer?”
I’m not done yet. Don’t forget that you were the one who provoked me first!” Andy’s face turned serious.
Hearing his words, Olivia took a deep breath, “Alright, let me straighten things up with you. We both have our love partners. So, let’s pretend that our history never exists, okay?”

“How can I pretend that it never happened?” Andy Speared. “And how many boyfriends do you have exactly? What about
I met on the way? Is he one of yours? Why didn’t you call the police and report domestic abuse? Or did you have a bondage sex with him? I have to say, you’re quite good at it. That must be one of your clients, right?”

Olivia didn’t expect Andy to speak so blatantly. She raised her hand and slapped his face. “Watch your mouth!”
Andy flew into a rage out of humiliation. “How dare you slap me
He wanted to retaliate, but Olivia warned him, “Think about the consequences before you slap me. I can call your mom a your fiancée over. Then, I’ll tell them everything that happened between us. How about it? Do you still have the guts to s

Andy’s raised hand stopped mid-air. Then, he pointed at Olivia’s face. “Alright, alright, you’re good!” 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 Mike’s hometown.
“There’s still half an hour until I arrive at the station. So, it’s okay to drive slowly.” Gina explained.
“Okay” Gabriel was in a good mood after hearing Gina’s voice.
Just as he was about to leave his room, someone pushed the door and entered. That person was Hannah, Jasmine’s mother. Her eyes were bloodshot red. She looked exhausted and haggard as she said hoarsely, ‘Gabriel, do you have time? Jasmine is awake, but she’s not in a good state. Could you please go to the hospital to see her?”
Gabriel didn’t want to go. He agreed to pick up Gina. But considering the relationship between the two families, he politely

refused. “Is it okay if I visit her another day? There’s something urgent I need to take care of. My hands are tied.”
Hannah didn’t give up. As Gabriel left, she chased after him and asked, “Business or personal matters?”
Gabriel frowned and didn’t answer. At the same time. David walked toward him and reported, “Mr. Jackson, your car is ready. You can go to the station to pick up Miss Miller.”
When Hannah heard this, she understood. “So Gabriel, you’re in a hurry to date Gina?”
