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.
After a while, Jennie poured a mug of honey-lemon drink, passed it to Olivia, sat beside her, held her 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.”
