Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife novel Chapter 488

Chapter 488

Due to his identity, John dared not voice his objections.

He knew he might never see her again if he quarreled with her and raised his voice at her.

After a long silence, he finally gave in with a chuckle. “Got it.”

Olivia did not want to talk to him, so she looked away. “Okay then. I’ll go home first. See you tomorrow.”

“You’re leaving?”

“Yeah, there’s no point staying here anyway.”

“Will you keep me company?”

There was a touch of supplication in John’s deep voice.

It was unknown if it was because she had never seen John like this before, but Olivia’s heart softened slightly.

“Just chat with me.”

Slightly reluctant, Olivia pulled a stool nearby and sat down on the edge of the bed. “What do you wanna chat about?”

To be honest, she had no idea what they could chat about.

‘About his ‘dead wife’?

‘Or why didn’t he marry Dorothy?’

While she was thinking about it, John suddenly said, “Who was the one who tried to harm you? What happened?”

Olivia froze slightly, not expecting him to ask about that.

“An ex-colleague at the atelier.”

John looked at her, waiting for her to go on.

With a lack of choice, Olivia could only press her lips together. “He was dishonest and stole some money from the company. I called the police and sent him an attorney’s letter. Finally, the court also asked him to return the money.

“But he seems to have spent it all on gambling.

“Besides that, we were almost accused of plagiarism because he stole my design and sold it to our competitor.”

With that said, she sneered. “That’s about it. That’s why he was unwilling. He wanted me to drop the charges and give him more money.”

“What’s his name?”

Olivia glanced at him. “Why do you want his name?”

“I’d like to help you.”

“No thanks. I’ve already called the police. They should be able to catch him soon.”

John looked at her. “You don’t believe me?”

Olivia shook her head and smiled. “Mr. Freeman, I don’t want to owe you anything.”
