Chapter 705
On the way to Quinton Group, Zac noticed Olivia frowning the entire journey and looking apprehensive. He joked. "Liv, we're only going to Quinton Group, not the execution grounds. You don't have to be so nervous.”
"I'm not."
Zac reached out to unfurrow her eyebrows. He laughed. "Your eyebrows are so tightly knitted together and you’re still claiming you're not nervous?"
Olivia rubbed the space between her eyebrows. "Am I?"
'Yeah, you don’t have to worry. He won't do anything to me."
"But..."
Back then, Jimmy asked someone to run Zac over with a car because he was unwilling to marry Dorothy as per his orders. If Zac went to ask for his shares now, wouldn't he offend Jimmy even more?
"No!"
Olivia grabbed Zac. "We should have planned this. If we barge in like this, I worry that we'll provoke your father and he'll kill..."
"Kill?"
Olivia bit her lip and did not know what to say.
Zac smiled at her. "Are you worried that Jimmy will kill me?"
Olivia’s pupils constricted and she nodded. "Yeah.”
"I know he planned the accident."
'You do?'
Olivia blamed herself. "I was horrible at pretending. That's why you figured it out..."
"It’s not because of you. Wilbur found out too, and he should have found out at the same time as Ken.”
"Are you not mad?"
Zac smiled coldly. "I should have guessed it long ago, so that's why I don't feel anything for it. He only cares about himself and was even willing to use my mother. So, I don't think it's so surprising that he wants to kill me."
"But you still want to go ask for the shares? He won't give them to you."
"I know."
Zac rolled down the window and chuckled lightly. "I know he's behind the accident. That's why I want to go ask him for the shares.
"Back then, I thought he'd leave me alone if I stayed away from him. That way, I won't have to keep going against him.
