Chapter 399

Chapter 399 Sophie knew Claude would try that, so she stood her ground, asserting, “You can talk to me, and I'll relay the message to Olivia.”

Claude maintained his intense gaze, but Sophie remained resolute. Eventually, breaking the standoff, Claude uttered, “Soof,”

with a frown of discontent.

Witnessing Claude's uncharacteristic anger, Sophie hesitated briefly. After a moment of consideration, she relented and lowered her hands. “Fine, you have ten minutes.”

She then walked away.

As Sophie left, Olivia acted normal and greeted Claude, “Hi.”

Claude saw that she didn’t try to hide or walk closer, so he told his secretary. “Leave us.”

The secretary nodded and walked away too.

He then looked at Olivia and asked, “Are you... okay?

Olivia was no longer concerned about what happened, so she said, “Yes. | just hope you'll keep your distance.”

“| couldn’t get through your phone in the past few days.” He sighed. “I wanted to speak to you at my home but didn’t get the chance.”

Claude looked worried, but there was also lovingness in his eyes.

Olivia avoided his eyes. “You don’t need to. What happened to me has nothing to do with you, so you don’t need to worry.”

Upon saying that, she felt that too many people were there and added, “I’m going to leave now.”

However, as she passed him, Claude reached out, grabbing her arm.

“Olivia,” he murmured softly, his eyes gentle yet insistent.

Startled, Olivia recoiled, attempting to free her hand, only to find it firmly grasped.

“Claude, | can’t get involved with people like you. I’m just an illegitimate daughter, and all | want is to have a peaceful life. | hope you can let me have this.”

Olivia didn’t want to get involved in their issues. She lacked Naomi’s love, parental support, or Tyler’s protection.

Chapter 399 2/2 Unlike Sophie, with her privileged background allowing freedom, Olivia solely relied on herself. With no one else to turn to, she faced any issue alone, yearning for a peaceful period.

Claude frowned. “Olivia, it’s your sister, isn’t it?”

Olivia didn’t expect him to know, so she looked up.

“How did Tyler handle this?” he asked.
