Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife Chapter 582

Chapter 582 Before she could even get into the elevator, she bumped into Jennie, and Jennie tugged at her.

“Pheebs, where have you been? I waited all night for you. I was afraid something happened to you, so I called the police.”

Olivia looked at her apologetically. “Sorry, I was stuck in the mountains last night. There was no signal to my phone.”

“What happened? How did you get stuck in the mountains?”

“I was with...”

Thinking it would be too troublesome to explain, Olivia shook her head and said, “Okay. Let’s keep the explanation for later.

Anyway, I’m fine. Help me tell the police to close the case.”

With that, she walked into the elevator.

However, Jennie pulled Olivia out back again.

“Phoebe, what the hell are you doing? Where are you going in a hurry? Is there something going on that you’re trying to hide from me?”

Olivia knew Jennie would not let her go if she did not explain.

“I’m going back to pack my things. I bought a ticket to go home.”

“Go home?”

Although Jennie did not know about Olivia’s past, she knew that Olivia was reluctant to return to her home country.

A year ago, she went home for the holidays and asked Olivia and her family to join her, but she refused.

However, now, Olivia was talking about going back. Something must have happened.

“Pheebs, what’s the matter?”

Olivia hesitated. “My friend who helped us open the atelier is missing.”

“Huh? He... Isn’t he a lawyer? How did this happen?”

“I don’t know. So, I’m going back to find out. I can’t let anything happen to him.”

Then, Olivia took Jennie’s hand and said, “I’ll leave the atelier to you. Can you manage?”

Jennie nodded. “No problem. Don’t worry, and go ahead with what you want to do. I know what you want for the atelier. So, I will never yield.”

“Well. Thank you.”

With that, they went upstairs together.

Jennie sensed that Olivia must not have eaten anything yet, so she cooked something for her as Olivia was packing her stuff.

An hour later, Jennie came out with two dishes. “Pheebs, when is your flight?”

“Eight o’clock in the evening.”

“I will drive you there then. Eat first. Although my cooking skills aren’t as good as Fred’s, your should eat something at least.”

Olivia squeezed out a smile and said, “Okay. I’m sorry to worry you again.”

“Pheebs, we are friends. You don’t have to apologize.”

Olivia just smiled and said nothing more.

However, in the middle of the meal, Olivia’s phone rang.

“Ms. James, this is Pitt.”

“Oh, Pitt. What’s the matter?”

“Well, TR offered to settle outside court again.”

Again?

Olivia frowned and sounded a little annoyed. “No sincerity in their reconciliation makes it mean nothing. It’s just a waste of time.

Help me reject it.

“But I’ve looked at the terms this time, and I think you might agree.”

“Tell me about it, then.”

“First, TR will publicly apologize to TO Atelier and you, Ms. James. Second, TR will give you three million dollars as compensation.”

“How is this any different than yesterday?”

“Of course there is a difference.” Pitt knew she must have missed the point, so he repeated himself. Then, he reminded her, “Ms.

James, this time, it’s the other way around. They will make the apology and give you the compensation.”

What?

Olivia was startled. “Are you sure? Are you kidding me?”

“Absolutely not. I had their legal staff send me the settlement agreement, and I just read it to you.”

Olivia’s jaw dropped, and she looked at Jennie in disbelief. “Jennie, TR wants to reconcile with us again and says they will publicly apologize to us...”

“Apologize to us?”

Jennie almost spat out the tea she had in her mouth.

That was fantastic!

What could have made them change their minds in a single night and be willing to compromise in such a way?

Someone flashed across Olivia’s mind.

Could it be John?
