Chapter 462 Olivia still tried to argue, but when she lifted her head to see Jennieâs eyes, she suddenly lost her strength and slumped on the couch.
âItâs Jenson Luke.â
âJenson Luke?â
Olivia nodded. âYeah, the person that kidnapped Lyla and who threw a brick on me is Jenson. He threatened me to not sue him.
He also wanted me to give him ten million dollars before he would stop.â
Jennieâs eyes widened as she shrieked. âHe can dream on! For us to not ask him to return the money, itâs already a really kind deed from our side! How dare he demand money from us? Does he really think that the law is just for decoration?â
Then, Jennie looked at how worn out Olivia looked and could not help but soften her tone. She walked up to give Olivia a once-
over.
âAre you hurt?â
âIâm fine.â
Jennie sighed, turned around, and left.
After a while, Jennie poured a mug of honey-lemon drink, passed it to Olivia, sat beside her, held her hand, and said, âLook at you. Your hands are still shaking, and youâre here telling me that youâre okay?â
âI did get a little frightened just now.â
âPheebs, before this thing with Jenson is over and done with, stop coming to the atelier. Iâm here, and itâll be fine with just me here.â
Olivia paused for a while before she replied, âNo! Iâm just about done with the sketch for Xavier Hemsworthâs order.â
Then, she pursed her lips and added, âJennie, I know you donât want me to worry, and youâve specially told them to prevent me from seeing the numbers, but how can I not care about such a huge hole? Iâve got to at least get the Xavier order done, get the remainder of the pay, or...â
âPhoebe James, it isnât as bad as you think it is. Also, I have my own money too! We donât need to go to that extent. Also, Iâm more worried about your life and your safety. You know that?â
âYouâre in danger too. What if.....â
âJenson would not find trouble with me. Youâre the one that interacted with him the most, and also, he would not dare to mess with me.â
However, Jennie knew Olivia, and she knew that Olivia was extremely stubborn, so she relented. âI saw your sketch for the Xavier case. Youâll be able to finish it today, right?â
Olivia nodded. âYeah. Iâm almost done.â
âOkay, finish it up today, and stay at home tomorrow! Donât you dare go anywhere.â
Jennie saw how Olivia wanted to argue, so before she could speak, she added, âDonât fight me on this, or Iâll come to your house to work and watch you.â
Olivia was at a complete loss for words at that moment.
The atelier was at its most difficult period, and it was already inappropriate for her to not be present. If Jennie were to be absent as well, would things not completely crumble?
Olivia had to relent. âFine, Iâll stay at home. Iâll finish the rest of the orders at home. Atelier will be all yours, okay?â
âDrink this while itâs still warm. This is my secret recipe! I would make this for no one else but you.â
Olivia smiled. âIâm honored.â
Jennie smiled as well. After nagging her for a while more, she got up and left Oliviaâs office.
After Jennie left, Oliviaâs smile disappeared instantly. Her eyes dimmed immediately as well.
She had to figure out a way to get Jenson Luke out of the way.
Good thing nothing really happened during the day, and Olivia was able to hand in her sketch to the producing party on time.
That allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.
There were also more patrols in the area, so Olivia did not think too much of it when she organized her table and left the atelier.
However, when she had just reached the parking lot, she saw a figure darting toward her.
âPhoebe James, Iâll kill you!â
Olivia ran backward, but unfortunately, her stilettos got stuck in a manhole cover. She simply could not yank it out, no matter how hard she tried.
The man was about to splash her with the bottle he held in her hand, so Olivia wanted to remove her heels to make a run for it.
However, since she was panicking, she could not seem to coordinate herself enough to do it.
In a split second, a lanky figure ran towards her and tucked her snuggly within their arms.
Then, with the sound of a bottle clanging to the ground, the man that had her arms around Olivia let out a low hiss.
