Chapter 784
"How could you do this?"
Olivia punched his chest again. "Do you know how cruel that was to that girl? Next time..."
"I know."
John interrupted and repeated. "I know."
Olivia's eyes were red as she bit her lips and glared at John. "You know? John, you don't know what empathy is. You don't understand."
He would never understand the pain of stabbing one's loved one...
Yes! It was a moment of revenge.
However, the feeling of joy only lasted for a moment.
It would hurt. She would blame herself for it, and it would be a life-long trauma. That girl would end up like her.
John frowned and carefully wiped away Olivia's tears. "Liv, you heard their conversation. That girl worked hard and paid for Aaron's tuition fees, but Aaron betrayed her and seduced a married woman to get the status he wanted."
He cupped her face and continued. "Don't you think she deserves to know the truth? It will hurt less like this."
Olivia glared at John coldly and pushed away his hands. "Don't touch me! You didn't think of that in the first place. All you wanted to do was to spoil Aaron and Mrs. Clarins’s new relationship and their cooperation."
"Liv, I..."
Before John could finish his words, the waiter's voice came from outside.
"Mr. Freeman, your dishes are ready. Can we serve them now?"
"Come in."
The waiter pushed the cart and entered the private room. He served the dishes on the table.
Looking at the table of soups and broths, Olivia frowned. "Why are they all soups?"
The waiter smiled and explained. "All of these are herbal soups we have brewed for three hours. The essence of these ingredients is all in the soup."
After the waiter left, Olivia shoved off John’s hand and said coldly, "You didn't plan to let me choose what I wanted to eat in the first place, did you?"
"No, I only made a lot of preparations. You didn't choose, so I brought you here to drink something healthy."
Sometimes, she felt like she might be a little strange. She was more accustomed to the domineering side of him.
After dinner, John sent her back to Elegance Gardens.
Before Olivia could get out of the car, John grabbed her. "Liv, I'll pick you up at nine tomorrow."
'Why are you picking me up?"
"To take you on a sail."
The first thought that stuck with Olivia was John was out of his mind. "I'm not free."
"Ian is coming. You can bring Zac if you want to."
That caught Olivia off guard. She did not answer him and got out of the car.
John said nothing more and squinted his eyes as he watched Olivia enter the villa.
He knew that the secret would be revealed sooner or later.
Thus, he hoped that before she learned the truth, she could enjoy the her relationship with her brother a little more.
