Chapter 704
The next day, Olivia got up to see Zac eating downstairs. Suddenly, she remembered the matter with Jimmy and started to feel her heart getting heavy.
When should she tell him?
When Zac saw her walking downstairs, he smiled. "You’re up. Did you sleep well last night?"
Olivia nodded. "Fine. Maybe I was too tired, so I fell asleep without thinking much of it.”
"What did Jennie say?"
Zac knew what Olivia was like.
Once she regarded someone as her friend, she would not give them up so easily.
Olivia sighed and shook her head with a bitter smile. "Zac, I don't know if I failed or if it was because of something else. Jennie and I can't come back from this anymore.
Tve thought of a lot of excuses for her, but her tone told me that they're all lies that I made up to convince myself."
"Ken's right. You're too benevolent sometimes. You shouldn't stand with someone who's not loyal to you."
"I understand. But after all, this is a three-year relationship, so it feels very sudden."
Zac peeled an egg for her and placed it on an empty plate next to her." Have you ever thought that maybe this whole time, she’s ust someone who values love?"
This reminded Olivia.
She recalled the countless blind dates Jennie went on during the three years they were friends. However, none of them worked out. Jennie was also in a few relationships but she never took them seriously.
Therefore, Olivia never thought of Jennie as someone who prioritized love.
It seemed as if everything changed when Ken appeared.
All of her principles went out the window, and all of Olivia's advice became her obstacle.
Olivia frowned. "I remember now that you've mentioned it. She changed because of Ken. Back then, she was not interested in being in a relationship.
"However, she did mention that she must fall madly in love once in her lifetime, the kind that would make her lose her mind."
After breakfast, Zac called out to her after he finished reading his newspaper. "Liv, go change. You're coming with me."
"Where?"
"Quinton Group."
'Quinton Group?'
Olivia thought she misheard him, so she ran over nervously. "Why? Are you going to lay your cards on the table with Jimmy? Don’t. Your body..."
Zac held her hand and said softly, "Don’t worry. I won't do that, but I'm going to get back what belongs to me.
"You didn’t forget that Quinton Group doesn’t belong to the Quintons, right?"
Olivia nodded. "I remember."
Quinton Group was originally called Durham Group, and it belonged to Zac's grandfather. However, his grandfather died, so Jimmy coaxed Zac's mother to sign the transfer agreement. In just a blink of an eye, he had changed Durham Group to Quinton Group.
Jimmy promised he would give half of the shares to Zac once he became an adult, but in the end, Zac did not receive a single penny.
