Chapter 539
As she reached the hospital gate, Olivia finally got through to Ken on the phone.
“Ken, did you do that thing the news said?”
There was a long silence on the other end of the line before the man answered in a muffled voice.” Yeah.”
“You…” Olivia had so much to say, but she hesitated and did not know what to say. She could only swallow it all.
“I know what you’re trying to say. Don’t worry. All I did was pay off a hitman. They won’t trace it
back to me.”
Olivia was a little relieved to hear this.
She was only afraid that Ken was out for revenge and lost his mind for a moment. It was a good thing that he did not.
“That’s great.”
Ken chuckled. “Liv, you don’t think I’m that stupid, do you?”
Olivia smiled awkwardly.
Yeah, Ken would not be that stupid.
“Do you know how terrifying it was when you came to me?”
Ken was embarrassed when he thought about it. “I’m sorry, I was a little aggressive. I know you were looking out for me, but I couldn’t get over it.”
“There must be more to the Jameson family’s rise. I’m afraid they have backups. You gotta be
careful.”
“Don’t worry. It’s just a test. Besides, Dorothy isn’t hurt. She only had some scratches.”
“Scratches? Wasn’t she sent to the hospital for immediate rescue?”
Ken sneered. “You really believe that?”
Olivia could not help but think of everything that had happened in the past and said with a sneer,” Yeah, it’s not surprising when she’s such a good actress.”
“Enough about me. What about you? Are you still there?”
“Yeah, but… I’m leaving.”
Both of them went silent. After a long pause, Ken said, “Liv, I stand by my statement. Don’t blame yourself. Leave it to me.
“All you have to do is leave Murica for Zyla.”
