Chapter 462
Olivia still tried to argue, but when she lifted her head to see Jennie’s eyes, she suddenly lost her
strength and slumped on the couch.
“It’s Jenson Luke.”
“Jenson Luke?”
Olivia nodded. “Yeah, the person that kidnapped Lyla and who threw a brick on me is Jenson. He
threatened me to not sue him. He also wanted me to give him ten million dollars before he would stop.”
Jennie’s eyes widened as she shrieked. “He can dream on! For us to not ask him to return the money,
it’s already a really kind deed from our side! How dare he demand money from us? Does he really think
that the law is just for decoration?”
Then, Jennie looked at how worn out Olivia looked and could not help but soften her tone. She walked
up to give Olivia a once-over.
“Are you hurt?”
“I’m fine.”
Jennie sighed, turned around, and left.

hand, and said, “Look at you. Your hands are still shaking, and you’re here telling me that you’re okay?”
“I did get a little frightened just now.”
“Pheebs, before this thing with Jenson is over and done with, stop coming to the atelier. I’m here, and
it’ll be fine with just me here.”
Olivia paused for a while before she replied, “No! I’m just about done with the sketch for Xavier
Hemsworth’s order.”
Then, she pursed her lips and added, “Jennie, I know you don’t want me to worry, and you’ve specially
told them to prevent me from seeing the numbers, but how can I not care about such a huge hole? I’ve
got to at least get the Xavier order done, get the remainder of the pay, or…”
“Phoebe James, it isn’t as bad as you think it is. Also, I have my own money too! We don’t need to go
to that extent. Also, I’m more worried about your life and your safety. You know that?”
“You’re in danger too. What if…..”
“Jenson would not find trouble with me. You’re the one that interacted with him the most,
and also, he would not dare to mess with me.”
However, Jennie knew Olivia, and she knew that Olivia was extremely stubborn, so she relented. “I saw
your sketch for the Xavier case. You’ll be able to finish it today, right?”
Olivia nodded. “Yeah. I’m almost done.”
“Okay, finish it up today, and stay at home tomorrow! Don’t you dare go anywhere.”
Jennie saw how Olivia wanted to argue, so before she could speak, she added, “Don’t fight me on this,
or I’ll come to your house to work and watch you.”
Olivia was at a complete loss for words at that moment.
The atelier was at its most difficult period, and it was already inappropriate for her to not be present. If
Jennie were to be absent as well, would things not completely crumble?
Olivia had to relent. “Fine, I’ll stay at home. I’ll finish the rest of the orders at home. Atelier will be all
yours, okay?”
“Drink this while it’s still warm. This is my secret recipe! I would make this for no one else but you.”
Olivia smiled. “I’m honored.”
Jennie smiled as well. After nagging her for a while more, she got up and left Olivia’s
office.

She had to figure out a way to get Jenson Luke out of the way.
Good thing nothing really happened during the day, and Olivia was able to hand in her sketch to the
producing party on time. That allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.
There were also more patrols in the area, so Olivia did not think too much of it when she organized her
table and left the atelier.
However, when she had just reached the parking lot, she saw a figure darting toward her.
“Phoebe James, I’ll kill you!”
Olivia ran backward, but unfortunately, her stilettos got stuck in a manhole cover. She simply could not
yank it out, no matter how hard she tried.
The man was about to splash her with the bottle he held in her hand, so Olivia wanted to remove her
heels to make a run for it. However, since she was panicking, she could not seem to coordinate herself
enough to do it.
In a split second, a lanky figure ran towards her and tucked her snuggly within their arms.
Then, with the sound of a bottle clanging to the ground, the man that had her arms around Olivia let out
a low hiss.
