Chapter 238
Freya’s sudden reaction startled the flight attendant next to her. The flight attendant quickly went forward to stop her.
However, Freya only gently touched her eyelids with her fingertips and did not intend to dig her eyeballs out.
She blinked and smiled at the flight attendant. “I scared you, didn’t I? I was just teasing you.”
The flight attendant had no words for her.
Freya swayed her arms and walked back to her seat. Sitting on the chair, she muttered something to herself.
Olivia lowered her head to eat, seemingly uninterested in everything around her.
After taking a few bites, she felt an intense gaze above her head.
She looked up and happened to meet Ernesto’s eyes.
Ernesto propped up his chin in his palm. His blue eyes curved as he smiled at Oliva. “You’re so good–looking. You and I are a great match.” He pointed at himself, looking very interested in Olivia.
Olivia ignored him and quickly retracted her gaze. Then, she lowered her head and continued eating.
After finishing the meal, she took a napkin and slowly wiped her mouth.. Only then did she raise her head and size up the man seriously.
“So?” The man smiled. “Are you interested in me?”
Olivia nodded.
Ernesto wore a smug face and was about to speak.
Just then, Olivia asked in a cold yet slightly confident voice, “You are… Ernesto?”
The man was shocked and became even more interested in Olivia. “You know me?”
“Yes,” Olivia replied. “Mr. Smithson talked to me about the Wilcox family before. He said that Gillian had contacted the Wilcox family in
Fesmuowana and told me to be careful.
Ernesto raised his eyebrows:
Olivia went on in a low voice, “I’ve investigated you. The Wilcox family has a great influence in Fesmuowana. Your father is the head of the family, and your brother is his successor. However, the most intimidating person in the Wilcox family is you.
“Ernesto Wilcox, the world’s top hypnotist.”
“Snore.” Ernesto suddenly became uninterested. He thought that he had met an interesting beauty, but it turned out that she was a coward who immediately went to gather information about him after getting wind of something.
Olivia asked, “Are you back in the country to see Gillian?”
Ernesto raised his eyebrows and said, “You’ve investigated quite
thoroughly. Why are you so afraid of me? Are you afraid that I will make a move against you?”
“What else can it be?” Olivia nodded. Her gaze briefly swept over Ernesto and she suddenly smiled. “Mr. Wilcox, do you think I’ll just stand idly and wait for others to plot against me?”
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to perpetual victory.
True wisdom is not about waiting for someone to launch an attack and repulse it brilliantly. Instead, it is about ensuring that you’ll never be in dangerous situations at the start. A wise man foresees and mitigates risks.. Olivia would never overestimate herself and always be fully prepared for everything.
That approach extended to how she treated the Taylor family. She had set up Skynet long ago to monitor the information about herself on the Internet. If there was any slanderous or defamatory content about her, she would review it immediately and delete it.
Using Skynet to monitor the Taylor family would be an abuse of power. Olivia would never do it, even if she had the authority.
However, monitoring herself was permissible.
After being deeply disappointed with the Taylor family, Olivia treated them like strangers and would never be soft–hearted again.
She had been hurt several times before by Amelia and Gillian because she cared about them.
But she didn’t care anymore, and no one could hurt her.
It’s for the prescription for insomnia, right? I can tell you clearly that I formulated the prescription. It has nothing to do with Gillian Olivia
Pillionaire’s Missing Dar
revealed Ernesto’s purpose for visiting Gillian directly.
Ernesto was stunned.
It was a little unexpected.
“She is so straightforward. I was expecting some dramas.”
Ernesto suffered from severe insomnia. When he couldn’t sleep in the night, he liked to watch dramas.
Based on his extensive experiences in watching dramas, a
misunderstanding would normally take dozens of episodes to resolve. The plot should be him thinking that Gillian made up the prescription for insomnia until the very end when he found out that it was a misunderstanding.
But the truth was unveiled so quickly that it bummed Ernesto out.
He felt rather upset.
He voiced his thoughts, “It is so boring to know the truth so soon. I’m expecting it to be as exciting as a TV series.”
“A TV series?”
Olivia tilted her head slightly and thought to herself, “This Ernesto is indeed as peculiar as described in the investigation file. He’s
temperamental and has wacky ideas. I can’t foresee his actions and predict them with common sense.”
Seeing that Olivia did not speak, Ernesto raised an eyebrow and a hint of wickedness flashed across his eyes.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Ernesto’s eyes flickered. “Why isn’t it like in movies and dramas where the truth is only revealed at the end. with many twists and turns?”
Olivia thought for a moment and said, “Probably because you’re not the main character.”
Ernesto was rendered speechless.
Olivia mercilessly ridiculed him, “You’re just a passer–by in the show. Just pass by quietly and leave. What makes you think you deserve to be treated as a male lead?”
Ernesto was stumped for words.
Why does it feel like I got stabbed in the heart?
Im not the male lead? I’m just a passer–by?
His heart sank.
Afterward, Olivia leaned back in her chair.
The flight attendant came over to serve her coffee. Olivia raised her hand and refused. Then, she pointed at Freya’s position and said calmly, “Pay more attention to her.”
The flight attendant turned back to glance at Freya, not understanding what Olivia meant.
Olivia explained. “Freya is probably hypnotized. Remember to call the police when you get off the plane.”
“How can this be?”
The flight attendant’s eyes widened in shock. She quickly turned back and presumably went to report to her supervisor.
In the front. Ernesto heard the conversation and slowly stuck his head out, between his between the back of the chair and the armrest.
From afar, one could only see a head pop up and down there.
