Chapter 571
Olivia grinned and retracted her hand. “Aren’t we friends already?”
“I mean, I won’t mention that I like you anymore. I’m just your friend, so I hope you won’t feel burdened and push me away.”
Olivia felt something flutter deep inside her. She wanted to say something, but the words felt stuck in her throat.
After a long time, Xavier looked at her again and asked, “Is that okay?”
Before this, she thought Xavier was a playboy and a spoiled rich man. Only now did she realize he would never force her to do anything she felt reluctant about.
She handed him a piece of cake and smiled. “Of course, friend. Have a piece of cake.”
Xavier accepted it and smiled back at her. “Taste them all, and tell me which ones you like the most.”
“Okay.”
“By the way, I saw the news. Did you win the lawsuit?”
Olivia shook her head. “Not yet. I just won the first round. We have another court session to attend next week. I have no idea what that person will be up to this time.”
“What are you going to do if you win?”
Olivia took a bite of cake, thought for a moment, and said, “TR should apologize to us publicly and admit they slandered us. Our atelier did not plagiarize any of those designs.”
“That’s it?”
“Well, I mostly want an apology. I want to restore the reputation of TO Atelier. After all, it took Jennie and me three years to build the brand.”
“But I don’t think TR will apologize easily. After all, they are a global brand. If they apologize, wouldn’t it be admitting to framing a small brand?”
Olivia scoffed. “They should have prepared for this from the day they decided to frame me.”
It was unexpected to her that TR, a global brand, would do such a thing.
She was unsure how John forced them to accuse her brand.
However, she had to admit it was indeed a good plan. It almost drove her to despair.
