Chapter 1390 An Unaccepted Apology
Olivia shot Eugene a look, signaling him to leave the room.
Even so, he reminded Penny worriedly, “Don’t take too much time talking to her. She has to rest.”
Penny nodded. “I know.”
Then, he instructed Olivia, “I’m right downstairs. If you need anything, just give me a call.”
Although he knew that Penny was nowhere close to being Olivia’s opponent, he still couldn’t help but feel concerned.
Olivia was rendered speechless by his incessant worrying.
Still, she hummed in reply. Once he left, she turned her gaze to Penny. “What do you have to say to me?”
As she spoke, she remained unmoving on the bed, and even her tone was as cold as ice.
Naturally, Penny could feel the tension in the air, and she was fully aware of the reason behind the coldness that hung in the air. She had gone against Olivia many times in the past, so it was only natural for Olivia to keep her at a distance.
Carefully, Penny took a few steps toward her. “Olivia…”
Olivia mocked sarcastically, “When you hate me, you were nothing but eager to capture me and kill me. When you don’t like me, all you do is hurl insults at me, but you’re calling me by my name now that you need me? You really are versatile.”
Penny’s expression soured at her words. She had hesitated for a whole day and night, knowing that coming here would likely subject her to ridicule, but she was unable to shake her desire to take her chances. After all, Olivia was George’s junior, so she most likely understood him better than anyone else. With Olivia’s help, she might even be able to accomplish her goal with half the effort.
Most importantly, even if Olivia refused to offer her assistance, Penny didn’t want her to cause any trouble. As Olivia had signed the marriage papers with Eugene, she was now her sister-in-law regardless of whether she liked it or not. Setting aside that reason, Olivia was also George’s junior, and going against Olivia would only cause George to dislike her even more than he already did. Hence, there was no better course of action than turning Olivia from her enemy into an ally.
