Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife Chapter 690

Chapter 690 The next day, Olivia told Zac about Jennie trying to sell the houses.

“I’m okay with the houses, but my assistant and I don’t want to sell the atelier. We all want to keep the brand alive, but Jennie won’t answer my calls. I...”

“Liv, don’t worry. Since you don’t want to sell it, I’ll buy it.”

“But...”

Zac pushed a glass of milk to her. “I know you’re concerned about Jennie, right?”

Olivia nodded.

She still did not believe Jennie make that decision.

She had a feeling that someone was behind her or using her to threaten her.

“Here, drink this hot milk.”

Olivia drank the milk in one gulp, licked her lips, and looked out of the window anxiously.

“Liv, we’re all adults. We should take responsibility for what we do. If she did it, she would have to take responsibility. You shouldn’t worry about her anymore.”

Zac had no mercy for people who hurt Olivia.

He had made it clear earlier that he would not mind getting rid of Jennie if she did anything to harm Liv.

Now, they were fighting Dorothy and Jimmy. Having a traitor at a time like this was like planting a bomb around themselves.

He would never allow anything underhanded to hurt Olivia.

However, he would not tell her these things directly.

Olivia smiled wryly and said, “Ever since Dorothy, I’ve been scared of relationships with women because I don’t know if they’ll betray me as Dorothy did.

“But the universe was kind to me when they let me meet Zyla.”

Olivia could not help smiling at the mention of Zyla. “No one can replace the kindness Zyla has shown me. She helped me believe again in friendship and that people are kind, repay other people’s kindness with kindness, and are loyal to their friends.”

Then she let out a sigh. “But I didn’t expect Jennie to do that. I don’t understand.”

Zac patted her hand. “Don’t think about it If you can’t figure it out. Why do you have to exhaust yourself?”

“I...”

“Look at me.” Zac pointed to his legs. “You’re supposed to think about helping me get back on my feet. Am I not more important than her?”

When Olivia heard this, she froze slightly before bursting out in laughter.

“When did you learn to talk so smoothly?”

“Anything that makes you laugh is good. I don’t mind being funny.”

Olivia got up and wheeled him outside. “Let’s have a stroll in the yard.”

“A garden daytrip.”

They both laughed.

However, beneath the smile were two sad faces.

Two days later, Zac had bought the atelier, and everything seemed to be on track.

Olivia gradually calmed down too.

Perhaps, some people had ill fates, so they could not be friends for life.

At least, that was how she comforted herself.

In the afternoon, Zac was working in the study while she was playing with the newly bought flowers in the yard.

Suddenly, she received a phone call from Dorothy.

She hesitated but picked it up anyway.

“Ms. James... Oh, I should call you Mrs. Quinton.”

Olivia frowned. “Why did you call me?”

“I called you for something, of course. I would like to meet you for coffee.”

“Will you invite me to coffee for no reason? I don’t believe it.”

Dorothy smiled and said, “Mrs. Quinton, don’t be so nervous. I’ve figured out that it’s better to have a friend than an enemy, besides...”

With that said, there was a hint of menace in her voice as she lowered her volume. “I recently heard something about your friend, Jennie. Would you be interested to know?”
