Chapter 364 About Zac?
Olivia had known Zac for such a long time, and he had never once talked about his father, so she guessed that they were not on that good of terms.
For Zacâs father to come looking for her like this, it surely could not be anything good.
This had Olivia worried for Zac.
She pushed John away and said, âMr. Quinton, if I have the answers to whatever you may ask, I will tell you everything.â
John hung onto Olivia once more and said to Jimmy, âDonât make things difficult for her, Uncle Quinton.â
Jimmy chuckled and said, âWhat is it youâre saying? Could your Uncle Quinton really bully your wife?â John did not reply to that and merely let go of Oliviaâs hand. Looking at the backs of Jimmy and Olivia, who were walking away, he could not help but frown.
As Jimmy and Olivia walked onto the balcony, Jimmy handed Olivia a glass of wine. âMs. Larson, I heard youâve gotten very close to Zac as of late, right?â
She took the glass of wine from him but did not drink it. She nodded and replied, âYes. Mr. Quinton is a good man.â
âYou should know that Zac has a marriage arrangement with the Jamesons, right?â
Olivia frowned. âIâm aware.â
âZac has been a disobedient boy since he was young, and now that heâs older, heâs even more opinionated now. He refuses to work at Quinton Group so much, itâs like itâll kill him if he does. He insisted on going out there to open some law firm.â
Jimmy sighed and continued. âBut heâs my only son. If I donât pass on this huge family inheritance to him, who else can I pass it on to?â
Olivia noticed that he had some hidden meaning between his words. âMr. Quinton, if you donât mind, please just get to the point.â
âYou donât have to be so courteous with me, Ms. Larson. You are Zacâs friend, so you can just call me Uncle Quinton.â
âUncle Quinton, please just get to the point.â
âPlease help me persuade Zac to come home. Will you?â
Olivia observed Jimmy. Even though there was a trace of worry in his eyes, it did not look like a father missing his child.
âUncle Quinton, I donât think I can be of any help regarding the situation between you and Zac.â
âLiv.â Jimmy looked at her and pushed his glasses up. âThe marriage arrangement between him and the Jamesons was decided a long time ago. Please try to convince him to not be so stubborn.â
The marriage arrangement with the Jamesons?
The purpose of Zacâs father meeting her today was so she could persuade him to adhere to the arranged marriage?
Rainie Jameson was already heading to prison. The arranged marriage was still going to take place?
Olivia was slightly unhappy about it. âUncle Quinton, times are different now. Freedom to love whomever you want is important for marriages nowadays.â
âFreedom to love?â Jimmy looked at Olivia and narrowed his eyes like a sly old fox. âLiv, you and Johnny are the result of freedom to love, and in the end, itâs still a sh*tshow, isnât it?
âHe has another woman outside of marriage, and you have another man as well.
âYes, arranged marriages donât get love involved, but at least they wonât hurt each other. Even after Zac marries Rainie, he can still stay with you, no?â
Olivia was stunned to the spot.
Was this really what this father had to say for his son?
Was this really what this high-profile elderly person had to say to a member of the younger generation like her?
What an insult it was to the word âsophisticated!!
âMr. Quinton, Zac and I are just friends. We didnât commit adultery.â
He was unphased. âMaybe not now, but what about the future? Can you guarantee that?â
âWhat about you, Mr. Quinton? Do you have another woman outside of marriage as well?â
âNo man is loyal. Just look at John Freeman, and youâll know. At the time...â
Before Jimmy could finish, Olivia could not take it anymore. âMr. Quinton, even if youâre that kind of person, it doesnât mean that everyoneâs the same as you are. I finally understand why Zac doesnât have a good relationship with you. If I were him, Iâd be ashamed of you too! You hypocrite!
âHow dare you treat your child like an object? For you to come up with all these abnormal sayings just to justify you exchanging him for benefits! Youâve opened my eyes to a whole new world today.
âAlso, have you forgotten that Rainie Jameson is still in prison? Youâd be practically ruining Zacâs life!â
Jimmy looked sinisterly at Olivia and said, âOlivia Larson, donât you forget that the Larsons are bankrupt. Are you sure you want to anger me?â
Before Olivia could respond, she was pulled into an embrace.
âSheâs my wife. Are you sure you want to touch her, Uncle Quinton?â
