Chapter 762
"Liv, how you’re so willing to give everything up right now scares me."
Ken advised softly. "We're with you. You’re not alone in the fight, so don’t push yourself too much."
Olivia did not reply to him.
"John, advise her! It's really dangerous for her to think this way."
John glanced at Olivia and said, "Don't forget about Lyla, Sam, and your brother.”
When Olivia heard the names of those three, her body shook. She turned around and smiled. "It’s not like I’m going to receive a death sentence. Do you guys have to be so anxious about it?"
Ken knew how adamant she was since he was the same as well, so he did not say anything more and merely sighed.
After a short while, Ken and Zac got asked by others to follow them, leaving Olivia alone with John.
The atmosphere was a little tense, and a little solemn, it was like both of them were just waiting for each other to start talking.
'Thanks for just now.”
Olivia broke the silence.
"Are you genuinely thanking me?"
"Of course. If it was not for you being observant, I probably would not have been able to escape unscathed."
John smiled. "I told you I would never let you get hurt. Whatever I didn’t do before, I will do from now on."
Olivia turned and looked at him shortly. The eyes of the man in front of her were murky and depthless, and she was always not able to understand the emotions within them.
"You'll help Zac too from now on, right?"
"Yes, because I want you to look at me more frequently, and also, if Zac is in charge of Quinton Group, it'll be beneficial to both myself and Ocean City."
Upon hearing that, Olivia smiled bitterly. "John Freeman, every time the way I feel about you changes a little bit, you immediately catch me off guard and show me your true colors once more."
John did not avoid the topic. He picked up a glass of wine, passed it to her, and said, "You always called me a hypocrite back then, saying that I always had a mask on and that I was ingenuine, so I promised myself that I'd show you the most real version of me from now on."
Olivia took a sip of the wine and frowned slightly. "What wine did you give me? Why does it taste so strong?"
Then, she reached out and took another glass from the waiter's tray.
