Chapter 674
"John, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither are relationships, especially considering what we are
now. Why should I trust you?"
"You can see it as me doing this for Lyla and the Freeman Group. I don't want Jimmy and the Jameson
family to join forces. Are these reasons enough?"
John knew Olivia would not believe him even if he repeated that he was doing this for her a hundred
times.
It was better to convince her based on mutual benefits.
Olivia sneered and said nothing more.
When she arrived at Elegance Gardens, she got out of the car and ordered Wilbur, "Wilbur, please
send Mr. Freeman back."
"Yes, Mrs. Quinton."
The first thing she saw when she entered the villa was Mrs. Simmons and Jennie.
When they saw Olivia, they quickly got up from the sofa and approached. "What took you so long to
come back? Is everything okay?"
"I talked to the doctor."
"What did the doctor say, miss?"
Olivia patted the back of Mrs. Simmons's hand. "Mrs. Simmons, rest assured. The doctor said Zac's

"Really? That's good."
"Mrs. Simmons, did you buy the ingredients I asked for?"
Mrs. Simmons smiled. "Yes. You've had a tiring day today. Let's prepare them tomorrow."
"Okay. I'll go upstairs and take a bath."
Then, she headed upstairs. Suddenly, something struck her, and she stopped. "Oh, Mrs. Simmons,
Jennie is staying here tonight. Please prepare a room for her."
"Mrs. Simmons has already prepared everything for me. Go take a bath and drink some warm milk
before going to bed." "Okay."
Olivia glanced at Mrs. Simmons. Then, she dragged Jennie to her side and whispered, "You haven't
told Mrs. Simmons anything about the banquet, have you?"
Jennie made a zipping gesture and said, "Don't worry. I have tight lips."
"Thanks. I'll go and take a shower first."
A lot happened that day. Much of it was predictable, but Lyla and lan's matter was something she could
not forget.
She was unsure if John was on her side, but she believed John would not hurt Lyla.
However, she could not be sure of what would happen to lan.
Dorothy might make use of lan and make a fuss out of it. On the other hand, she could use lan to probe
her identity.
With that thought in mind, Olivia huffed and buried herself in the warm water.
Before Zac got better, none of them should act rashly. They could only observe and plan silently.
After the bath and having a glass of milk, Jennie pulled her to a quiet corner.
"Pheebs, are you..."
Jennie bit her lips and looked as if she was struggling to ask something "You..."
"Ask whatever you want to ask."
"Are you Olivia Larson?"
Olivia looked at her and laughed. "Is that what you've been thinking about asking me?"
"Yes."
"What do you think?"
"Pheebs, I've decided to stay by your side, whether you are
Olivia or not. I don't want you to endure everything yourself.
It would be tiring."
Tiring...
Maybe it used to be tiring. However, when John uncovered her identity, she felt more relieved.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was not Phoebe, who wanted to run away from everything. Now, she was Olivia, the brave girl who
chose to face everything head-on.
However, she would not tell Jennie her identity.
"Jennie, do you think Zac married me because he sees me as her substitute?"
Jennie nodded. "Yes. So... I don't respect him like I did before."
"As you can tell from today's wedding, I've made a lot of enemies. The rest of my life is not going to be
easy."
Then, Olivia handed Jennie an envelope and said, "I bought you a flight ticket. You leave the first thing
tomorrow morning."
"Are you driving me away again?"
Not wanting to continue this topic, Olivia headed straight upstairs. However, Ken happened to walk into
the villa.
"Ken?"
"I have something to tell you."
Olivia could guess the seriousness of the situation by Ken's
gloomy expression. She nodded. "Let's go to the study."
