Chapter 852
On her way back to Elegance Gardens, she received a call from Milo.
"Doyle just said someone dragged you away. Who was it? Where are you? Are you safe?"
Olivia felt guilty when she heard he was concerned about her.
"Sir, I'm sorry."
'Why did you apologize to me?"
Olivia pressed her lips. "My friend misunderstood you and followed me. I wonder if your staff member got hurt? If he is, I'll pay for his medical bills.”
"Doyle's fine. I'm only worried about you." Milo paused. "Is that man a friend of yours?"
Olivia was silent for a moment before saying with a nod, "Yeah, it's someone I know."
How was she friends with John?
However, she could not tell Milo that it was her ex-husband, could she? Therefore, she could only give a perfunctory answer.
Fortunately, Milo did not ask more questions about their relationship.
"Ms. James, was the man who took you away Mr. Freeman, who's famous in Ocean City?"
"Well, yes."
"Do you know Mr. Freeman well?"
Olivia could not help feeling wary. "Why do you ask, Sir?"
"Don't worry. I’m not prying into your personal affairs. I've just heard some bad rumors about Mr. Freeman and am a little concerned for your safety."
'Bad rumors?'
Olivia could not resist asking, "Sir, what do the bad rumors you mentioned ... say?"
"There are quite a few rumors. They're about him and his ex-wife, and some are about his family. But they're only hearsay, after all. I'm not sure if they're true, and it seems inappropriate for me to suddenly say something."
"Sir, do you know something?"
Milo's eyes narrowed. Knowing Olivia had taken the bait, he said, "I'll tell you about it next time. I'm in a meeting right now. I called you halfway through my meeting, so I can't talk for too long."
