Chapter 361 âIâm not going.â
Olivia rejected John without hesitation.
The man on the other end of the line was silent for a moment before he chuckled gently. âIâll come to pick you up.â
She frowned. She was a little frustrated. âJohn Freeman, who do you think I am? Just because you want me to, I should drop everything Iâm doing and go? Iâm not going!â
âDonât you want to see Aaron Summers?â
Aaron?
Oliviaâs face darkened. What did this man want this time?
What did this have to do with Aaron?
Also, there was nothing going on between him and her, so why did John keep bringing him up?
âDid you forget what I said? Aaron Summerâs life is still in my hands.â
Another threat?
Olivia snickered coldly. âJust kill him, then.â
Right after that, Olivia hung up.
What she did not expect was for Dorothy to call her not long after that.
âIâm back, Olivia Larson.â
âYou donât have to specially inform me.â
Dorothy laughed. âWhy shouldnât I? Iâm with Johnny right now. Heâs showering at the moment. Here, listen!â
Olivia immediately heard the sounds of water sloshing.
Her heart ached suddenly. She might have already gotten used to all this, but she still could not remain calm.
âNow that Iâm back, Olivia, I wonât let you go this time. You wait and see.â
After hanging up the phone, Olivia stood rooted to the spot, a little emotional. Her chest felt heavy with emotions.
As she turned, she saw the bags by the door and got up to walk toward them.
After staring at them for a long time, Olivia suddenly spoke. âZy, letâs go to the party tonight.â
âHuh? Do you want to go?â
âYeah, I do. I want to see what Dorothy Ellis has up her sleeve.â
âBut...â
Zyla wanted to talk her out of it, but when her gaze fell onto the bags of clothes Ken brought over, she changed her mind. âOkay.
Weâll go together, then.â
It was six oâclock in the evening. Olivia received a call from Ken.
âAre you done changing, Liv?â
Olivia was stunned for a while. âYeah, I am. Whereâs John?â
âErr, he said there were still some things he had to get done in the office, so he sent me to come to get you. Come down, please.
Iâm here.â
Oliviaâs fingernails were buried deep in her flesh. She answered through gritted teeth, âOkay.â
He had indeed not shown up.
After Olivia and Zyla made their way downstairs, they saw Ken leaning by his car, dressed in a grey suit.
When he saw Zyla, he was flabbergasted. âYouâre going too, Zyla?â
âWhat, canât I come too?â
âOf course you can! Itâs a coincidence that I donât have a plus one tonight, so youâll have to sacrifice yourself as my plus one tonight. You donât mind it, right?â
Zyla rolled her eyes at Ken and said, âI do mind. But for Sis Liv, Iâll do it.â
Ken smiled as he looked at the dress Zyla was wearing.
It was the dress he bought her as an apology. It was the first time he had ever seen her in a dress.
âYou look nice in that dress.â
Zyla huffed coldly, linked her arm with Oliviaâs, and entered the car.
âDid you plan for this from the beginning, Ken Lucas?â
Ken laughed humorlessly after Olivia had exposed him. âWhere would I get the courage from? Iâm still a sinner right now...â
Olivia lowered her head and stopped speaking.
There was once when John courted her like this too, but that was in the past.
After they had arrived at the hotel, the three of them got out of the car. Ken scanned the surroundings and said, âLiv, Johnny should be arriving soon. Letâs wait for him inside.â
Olivia nodded, took Zylaâs hand, and was about to enter the hotel when someone beside her spoke. âLook there! Quick! Thatâs Mr. Freemanâs car!â
âSo many high-profile peeps are here at this party! I heard the Quintons are coming as well.â
âThe Quintons? I heard that the Freemans and the Quintons arenât on good terms right now. Is it true?â
Even if Olivia knew that she should not give care, she still stopped to turn around.
However, a woman instantly stepped out of a Maybach that Olivia was familiar with.
This was the woman that Olivia would recognize anywhere, even if she was burned to ashes.
