Olivia observed Ethan’s hesitation and decided to cut to the chase. “Mr. Jackson, I’ll leave the settlement to you. No for further discussion. Goodbye”

With that, Olivia turned and departed with effortless grace.

Ethan’s gare lingered on her departing figure, his eyes simmering with resentment.

Just wait and see!

Setting his business aside momentarily. Ethan headed straight for Harry’s residence.

Upon entering. Ethan couldn’t contain his agitation. “Harry, we’re in trouble!”

Harry was leisurely sipping his coffee, pleased with the smooth operation of the –

–one examination machine project. His mood was upbeat.

Setting down his cup. Harry advised calmly. “Ethan, you’re a successful man now–no need to get all worked up over things. Understand? Stay calm and collected.”

It exuded an aura of someone who could always keep a grip on the situation.

Harry didn’t finish his thought, suddenly realizing he was unintentionally comparing Ethan to Gabriel, shaping him as role model to emulate.

Ethan struggled to regain his composure, but Olivia’s threats left him seething angrily and urgently.

“Harry, here’s the situation. I don’t know how Olivia got her hands on that photo of the person she claims I hit. Now she’s using it to blackmail me. Harry, I can’t let this despicable person control me forever. Can you help me… help me get rid of her!”

Ethan’s resolve suddenly hardened.

With Harry’s support, he felt a surge of strength within him.

Harry was equally astonished. How did Olivia manage to obtain that photo? It must have been a problem on Ibrahim Rosario’s end. The thought filled Harry with fury.

Damn it…

Harry’s current mood mirrored Ethan’s he despised Olivia!

While Harry might be unable to deal with Gina, handling should be a piece of cake.

“She has a photo. We can’t let her feel her life is in danger… Otherwise, if she leaks the photo, it’s all over.”

Harry’s expression turned serious.

“What did she demand?” he inquired.

Ethan explained Olivia’s request to become a shareholder and her plea for assistance with debt

repayment.

“For now, agree to her terms to keep her under control. Once she’s on board, she won’t have the upper hand to blackmail you again. Trust me.

“I to talk to you.” Ethan attempted to sound assertive, but his words came out somewhat hesitant.

“Go ahead,” Gina responded.

Ethan handed her a check. “Olivia owes you about 18 dollars. I’m here settle her debt.”

Gina was taken found it somewhat amusing. She remarked sarcastically, “Rekindled your romance! Well, congratulations. You two certainly seem well–suited for each other.”

Gina didn’t say much, simply accepting the check.

With a weight off his shoulders, Ethan could finally depart!

He turned swiftly, the scene and hopping into his car,

She turned back..

Dylan hurried over to her.

*I’ve got something to share with you,” Dylan said, pausing briefly. “I’ve managed to uncover how Shawn persuaded those experts to join fervently in the artificial seed palace project.”

“Go on, I’m listening”

Since Dylan already had the information, saw no reason to avoid the conversation.

“Shawn informed them that he’d hired Dr. Genevieve to lead the project.”

Dylan was momentarily stunned. The fact that Shawn had managed to deceive those experts and that it involved

Gina..

Years ago, when Dylan was studying abroad, he had been poisoned by a jealous roommate. Despite being declared nearly dead after days of continuous treatment, he miraculously survived and fully recovered–all thanks to Dr.

Genevieve

And Dylan was more aware of Dr. Genevieve’s true identity than anyone else–she was Gina. He knew Gina wanted to keep her identity hidden, and he had been assisting her. Thus, although the Thomas family knew it was Gina who had Dylan, Dylan had told his family back then that Gina was a disciple of Dr. Genevieve.

Gina’s youth, the Thomas family naturally didn

suspect her to be Dr. Genevieve. Instead, they believed she inherited Dr. Genevieve’s skills, given her remarkable medical expertise.

During this instance, Shawn, in an attempt to win over the experts, inadvertently mentioned that Dr. Genevieve had saved Dylan in the . Additionally, he implied that the Thomas family had maintained a close relationship with Dr. Genevieve, and the artificial seed palace project was her brainchild.
