Chapter 459 After returning home, Olivia helped Lyla take a bath before putting her to sleep. Then, she closed the door tiredly and walked out.
When he saw her come out, Fred brought out a bowl of noodles from the kitchen. âLiv, eat something.â
Olivia waved her hand, pushed the door open, and walked to the balcony.
She skillfully took out a cigarette case from under the flower pot, took out one, and put it in her mouth before leaning over the railing and lighting it.
After taking a drag, she choked and coughed.
It had been so many years, but she still could not get used to the choking smell of cigarette smoke. Despite that, sometimes, she liked to let the smoke choke her to the point of tears.
It seemed that only this way could she cry openly.
Fred looked at her trembling shoulders and sighed. He put down the noodles, walked over, and grabbed the cigarette in Oliviaâs hand. After a sharp inhale, he put out the cigarette.
âLiv, youâre hiding cigarettes again. Donât you know...â
Before he could finish, Olivia wiped away her tears hastily and asked, âFred, am I too weak?â
Fred did not understand what she meant, so he was taken aback for a moment. âWhy do you ask that?â
âIf Iâm not weak, why do people always like to toe the line with me?â
After she said that, she turned her head to look at Fred and pouted. âJohn does it, Dorothy does it, and even Jenson does it. If itâs not because Iâm too weak, then why?â
âLiv.â Fred paused. âHave you ever thought that itâs not because youâre weak, but because youâre too kind?â
âKind?â
Olivia sneered, âAre you saying a person with a criminal record is kind?â
âKind people can get angry and have a limit too, but Liv, it is because you are kind and nostalgic that you always give people a chance and allow them to be rude.â
After hearing this, Olivia raised her head and took a deep breath before letting it out slowly.
âMaybe youâre right.â
âWhat are you going to do about Jenson?â
Oliviaâs face relaxed a lot, and she smirked coldly, âIâve already told the police everything. Just leave Jenson to the police. He canât escape anyway.â
Jenson wanted to ask her for money and to withdraw the lawsuit. How ridiculous!
If it was not for Jenson, the atelier would not be in financial trouble at all.
Jenson was originally an assistant in the atelier, but because he owed money from. gambling, he stole the atelierâs money, the clientâs ring, and even Oliviaâs design to sell to others.
If Jennie did not find out in time and Olivia did not change the design overnight, the atelier might have to face a lawsuit.
If that had happened, it would be more than losing money.
How dare this person ask for money and ask her to withdraw the lawsuit?
It was absolutely impossible!
âLiv, you and Lyla should stay at home for a while so as not to cause trouble again.â
Olivia shook her head. âNo, the atelierâs loss is big now, and I have to make Xavierâs bracelet as soon as possible. But we can prevent Lyla from going out.â
After that, she narrowed her eyes. âAlso, letâs take this opportunity to transfer her to another kindergarten. Iâve wanted to do this for a long time.â
âOkay, Iâll look into it and see which one she can go to next.â
âOkay, letâs go to sleep. Iâm tired.â
âLiv, youâd better sleep too. Good night.â
After returning to her room, Olivia discovered that there were several missed calls on her phone, but she did not take them seriously because they were from an unknown number.
After she took a shower and got into bed, the phone rang again. It was from the same unknown number.
âWho is it?â
Olivia answered, âHello, who is this?â
âMs. James, itâs me, John Freeman.â
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Oliviaâs heart trembled suddenly and she asked coldly,â Mr. Freeman, how can I help you?â
