Chapter 140 Before he could finish speaking, his phone rang. It was a phone call from John.
Wes nodded. âMadam, donât worry. Iâll answer the call first.â
âOkay, go ahead and be careful.â
After Olivia brought Zyla into the room, Wes quickly answered the phone and heard the man fuming.
âCome to the study.â
Once in the study, Wes knew he would suffer when he saw John looking grim.
âDid Madam and Sir have another fight without me?â
âGo find out what other guys Olivia had before she met me!â
âHuh?â
âIncluding those who pursued her when she was at school. Donât let any of them go!â
âYes.â
âAaron Summers too!â
That man was the prime suspect. He was a childhood friend and happened to show up right now!
Wes then realized John was jealous again and quickly nodded. âYes, are you returning to the office today?â
âIâm returning now.â
With Zyla taking care of her, Oliviaâs life was much more comfortable. At least she had three meals a day and took her medicine on time.
When her foot was almost healed, Olivia suggested, âZyla, go out with me today.â
âWhat do you want to do?â
âDonât ask. Just come with me.â
Zyla smiled. âOkay, we can also get some groceries. The refrigerator is empty.â
âAlright.â
The two cleaned up and headed out the door. Zyla drove while Olivia navigated.
She deliberately chose a pawnshop far from the city, thinking she would be able to keep it a secret from John.
After parking the car, Zyla looked up. âSis Liv, do you want to pawn something? If you need money...â
âZyla, I canât borrow 70 million dollars from Mr. Quinton, can I?â
Zyla nodded. âYouâre right.â
âWait for me in the car.â
âOkay.â
Olivia went into the pawnshop and took everything out of her bag, including the ring.
The pawnbrokerâs eyes lit up when they saw the ring. âThatâs a quality thing, Miss. Are you sure you want to pawn it?â
âYes, how much can you offer me? Itâs the creation of the international jeweler Q.â âMiss, although itâs signed Q, itâs not Qâs creation.â
Olivia looked over warily and snatched the ring from his hand. âWhat do you mean? Are you saying this is a fake?â
âMiss, you misunderstood me. I didnât say it was fake. Qâs signature is real, and the ring is indeed made by Q, but the design isnât.â
âWhat?â
Olivia was a design major and loved Qâs work, but how could this ring be...
The boss seemed to recognize Oliviaâs doubts and explained. âMiss, the inside pattern of the ring looks like a wave but is actually an F. The designerâs initials should be F.â
âF?
Olivia froze and looked down at the inside of the ring to see that the wave looked increasingly like F as she looked longer.
The ringâs from John. Did he... design it?â
âMiss, are you going to pawn it? I can give you 20 million dollars.â
Olivia subconsciously took a step back as the tears fell.
How could she give it up?
Just then, her phone rang. It was the asset management office.
âMs. Larson, Iâm sorry. We couldnât keep the house because someone had just bought it at full price. Weâre really sorry.â
Oliviaâs legs gave way as she leaned against the wall. She bit her lips and stifled the cry. âGot it. Thanks.â
She did not get to keep Larsonâs Residence after all...
