Chapter 465
“I don’t like bad boys, Mr. Hemsworth.”
“Pheebs, could you just call me by my name? You addressing me as Mr. Hemsworth makes me feel like we’re not close at all.”
Olivia chuckled lightly. “You’re my client. Of course we’re not close.”
Xavier’s face darkened slightly. He was slightly displeased. “Would you bring normal clients home?”
Since when had she brought him home?
Just when Olivia was at a loss for words, Fred walked out of the kitchen with dinner in his hands. When he saw Olivia, he was instantly attentive.
“Liv, I heard someone threw a brick at you, then someone threw acid at you too! Are you okay?”
He put dinner down on the table, walked up to Olivia, and scanned his eyes all over her. After he was sure that she was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“I wanted to come to get you in the afternoon, but Jennie said you were okay and that she had asked the guards to increase their patrols, so I didn’t go. Why did someone come and throw acid at you in the evening, then?”
Olivia sighed. “I think he’s Jenson’s accomplice. But the acid did not land on me.”
“Who did it land on, then?”
When Olivia thought about that person, her heart involuntarily tugged painfully. She pursed her lips and brushed him off casually. “A passerby.”
Then, she went into the bathroom, turned on the water, and filled the basin with it. Right after that, she plunged her head right into the water.
She held her breath till her head was muddy, then she pulled her head out instantly, wiped the water off her face, and looked at her reflection in the mirror.
Olivia, Olivia, did the four years of lessons not teach you enough?
He was just slightly bleeding, and you got so anxious?
Then, she took another deep breath and plunged her head into the water once more.
She hated John Freeman, but she hated herself more.
If she was slightly crueler four years ago and had not given Wes a heads-up, John would no longer be alive.
If he died, she would probably not have to live so anxiously now.
However, she could not turn back time, so what use was regret?
