99 Bloody Lashes And A Bullet To His Hear novel Chapter 84

Not long ago, the marriage alliance between the Joe and Harris families had been a topic of widespread discussion, but now, that same alliance seemed utterly laughable.

As people dug deeper, they began to uncover some juicy rumors.

For example, the person Joe was after was the top secretary of the Joe Group who had studied finance in university and joined the company immediately after graduation, working closely with Joe;

Or that they had once been seen getting into the same car after work, with Joe himself behind the wheel;

Or that this top secretary had always kept a close relationship with Joe since university, but whenever questioned, she would deflect with the excuse, “Just a friend’s brother“;

And also, the fiancée Joe had abandoned looked remarkably similar to this top secretary, with the two even having

public altercations in the past.

But as the story unraveled further, the revelations became even more shocking. Some dug into Joe’s statement on the day of the wedding he abandoned, piecing together earlier events. It seemed that Joe and Olivia had secretly established a relationship long before, but when the daughter of the Harris family returned to the country, he

immediately got engaged to her.

Had they broken up by then? No one knew, as they had never publicly acknowledged being together.

The battle between the substitute and the real partner unfolded in the minds of netizens, with many accidentally piecing together the truth.

Some people called him flirtatious, others called him scum, and there were even comments directed at Olivia, blaming her for not being good enough for Joe, saying she was too self–sacrificing, willing to stay with a man who refused to acknowledge her for seven years, only to be cheated on and still not leaving him.

At that moment, Olivia received a call from Joe’s parents. Despite their son’s reckless behavior, they still couldn’t bring themselves to completely abandon him. Though most of the power had shifted to Jennifer’s hands and they had more or less given up on him, seeing him wallowing in decadence and drunkenness, even ending up in the hospital, hearing him repeatedly mutter Olivia’s name, they couldn’t help but swallow their pride and ask for her

help.

The distance between London and Edinburgh spanned half the country, and though it was possible to fly, the long journey was still a burden. This was why Olivia had only told Jennifer she was returning home for her wedding but hadn’t invited her to the ceremony.

Now, her only remaining connection to the Joe family was through Jennifer. The situation with Joe had ended poorly, and the online insults regarding Joe’s actions hadn’t been dealt with yet. Now, with her married status, she was going to approach him–wasn’t that just asking for more insults?
