Chapter 686
Elegance Gardens.
Olivia got up from her afternoon nap and walked out the door just in time to see Jennie walking out of the study. She ran after her and called her.
"Jennie, stop right there!"
Jennie ran for two steps. Knowing she would have to face her sooner or later, she stopped and turned to look at her. "I'm here for your husband, not you."
"What's with that attitude?"
"I'll treat you the way you treat me. It's fair and reasonable."
Olivia ran and pulled her into the garden. "Come here."
"Let me go."

"Are you getting Zac to ask Ken out for you?"
Jennie shook her hand off. "So what if I am? If you want to know what I'm doing here, ask your husband."
Olivia felt some tightness in her heart and looked at the familiar yet strange woman in confusion.
"How did we turn out like this?"
"You did this to US, not me."
Olivia took a deep breath and sat down in a nearby chair. "I know you're angry and think I broke you and Ken up, but I swear I didn't stop Ken from getting in touch with you. I only told him to figure out if he liked you and not to waste each other’s time."
Jennie jerked her head around and looked at her coldly. "So you're telling me it has nothing to do with you? Didn't you tell Ken to keep his distance from me?"
"Jennie, I'm curious. What is it about just one meeting that makes you so obsessed?"
Olivia looked straight at her. "Don't take me for a fool. We're adults. No one falls in love with just one look. You should have a reason."
Jennie averted her eyes from meeting Olivia's. "Can't it be love at first sight?’
"I didn't say you can't, but I find it pathetic if love at first sight can make you ignore three years of friendship."
She knew not everyone would be like Zyla, but she had no idea that her friendship with Jennie would turn out this way because of Ken.
Their friendship was so fragile.

Olivia let out a sigh. "Jennie, we all have our secrets, and that's normal. But you shouldn't be a hypocrite. I didn't tell you many things because I'm afraid you'll get caught up in the middle of this chaos."
With that said, she paused. "Do you know how Zyla died?"
When she mentioned Zyla, Jennie's expression changed dramatically, and she swept all the water glasses off the table.
"Don't you talk to me about that woman. You keep mentioning a woman who has been dead for four years. I'm here alive and well. Have any of you cared about me? You..."
"Because Zyla died in my arms!"
Olivia got up, widened her eyes as she looked at her, and roared, "She died protecting me. She held on to tell me to protect myself even after being stabbed multiple times..."
Tears welled up in Olivia's eyes as she clenched her teeth. "She died thinking about protecting me!"
Jennie had never seen Olivia like this before and took a step back in shock.
"Do you know how many strikes she had taken from me?"
Jennie shook her head blankly.
Olivia's eyes reddened as she said hatefully through clenched teeth, "They say when someone takes a strike for you, you should pay with your life. But she took more than one strike for me and ended up giving away her life for me..."
She took a deep breath, swallowed, and wiped her tears with her hand. "So why can't I mention her?"
