Chapter 556 The next morning, Olivia got up from the bed in a daze because she wanted to go to the toilet.
She searched for the door as usual, but after she searched for a while and could not find it, she ended up bumping into the wall.
âAh! It hurts...â
The pain from the bump woke her up.
She rubbed the swell on her head and rubbed her temples. Then, she looked around with narrowed eyes.
After looking around, she suddenly realized this was not her home.
âWhere is this? Why am I here?â
Olivia quickly lowered her head to look at her clothes. When she saw that they were still the same clothes as yesterday, she was relieved.
âBut what happened last night?â
She tried hard to remember, but the hangover gave her a splitting headache, and she could not calm down to think.
âForget it. Iâll go to the toilet first.â
When she came out of the toilet, she washed her face and looked up at herself in the mirror. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something.
However, when she wanted to think of the details, she could not.
Just as she was concentrating on remembering, the phone rang and interrupted her thoughts.
Olivia walked to the bed and picked up the phone to look at it. It was from Jennie.
âJennie, you...
âCome to the atelier now. I havenât been able to get to Bob since this morning!â
âWhat? Whatâs going on?â
âI donât know. His phone seems to be turned off when I call. I wonder if he fled.â
âDonât panic. Iâll be right there.â
When she was about to hang up, Jennie suddenly stopped her. âPheebs...â
âYeah?â
âForget it. Weâll talk about it when youâre here.â
After hanging up the phone, Olivia picked up her bag and left.
If the lawyer had quit, they would be in big trouble.
However, the moment she opened the door, a figure stopped in front of her. âMs. James, where are you going?â
Olivia was startled and instinctively took a step back. âWho are you?â
âSir asked me to protect you.â
âSir?â
Could it be Mr. M?
However, he was not the one person who usually protected her.
âItâs Mr. Freeman.â
âMr. Freeman... Isnât that John?â
Then, Olivia remembered.
Last night, John showed up out of the blue when she was drunk She could not remember what happened after... She hoped she did not say anything she should not have.
âOkay. Tell Mr. Freeman to not be so hypocritical. I canât stand it.â
âMs. James, let me see you off.â
âNo.â
Olivia walked past him and went straight down the elevator to call a taxi.
After getting in the car, she received a call from an unfamiliar number.
âMs. James, itâs me, Bob.â
Olivia was taken aback and asked nervously, âBob, why did you turn off your phone? We...â
âSorry, Ms. James, I canât take this case.â
âWhat? What do you mean by that? Yesterday...â
âIâm really sorry, Ms. James, but I donât think anyone in this world would dare to take on this case.â
Then, he hung up the phone without giving Olivia a chance to continue. He also turned off his phone before Olivia could call again.
âDamn it! John must be doing something dirty again.â
At that moment, Zac called.
âLiv, I already know the situation. Iâm sorry I couldnât help you. Send me the information, and I will personally take over the case.â
âNo!â Olivia immediately refused, âZac, you know you canât.â
Firstly, she did not want to reveal her identity as Olivia.
Secondly, she did not want John to target Zac, and she was very worried that Zacâs participation in this might backfire.
That manâs perverted possessiveness would never spare her.
âI know what you mean. Send me the information first, and Iâll think of other ways.â
âAlright. Take care of yourself.â
Olivia thought he had given up, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Unbeknownst to her, after Olivia hung up the phone, Zac asked his assistant to book a flight ticket to Murica.
If she wanted to keep the brand, he would help her keep it.
