Chapter 5 Teach You a Lesson
Olivia returned home. The moment she entered the door, she saw two heads sitting in front of the computer, staring at the computer intently for some reason. “What are you guys doing?”
Kate Thomas looked back. “Oh, you’re back? Do you know that you’ve become the hot, trending topic? Many posts are criticizing you all over the internet right now and North is helping you deal with it.”
Kate Thomas was Olivia’s best friend, and she was also the only person Olivia had told about her return to the country this time.
Upon hearing that, Olivia was completely bewildered. “What posts?”
She glanced at the screen and immediately saw the report about the collapse of moral values. “I was rescuing a person! Why does the report claim that I am stealing?! Would anybody steal anything so openly in broad daylight?!”
Kate pursed her lips. “You should continue reading. Those saying that you are a thief are being polite. There are also some saying…”
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she glanced at the little boy in front of her, who was not even seven years old. Then, she swallowed her words. In the end, she leaned close to Olivia’s ear and whispered the indecent words, “Some claimed you were molesting him.”
Olivia was so angry that she nearly cursed out loud. “Who could have taken my actions so out of context?! Did they not see me rescuing the man?! Didn’t they see me following the ambulance to the hospital? Didn’t they see me paying for that man’s medical fees from my own wallet? I’m such a gorgeous woman; how can they paint me in such a terrible light?!” The more she vented, the angrier she got. “North, investigate who on earth reported that article and block his account! Just because I failed to browse the almanac before I left the house today, I seem to have met all the bad luck in the world!”
North made a noncommittal sound in response, his small hands flying across the keyboard without stopping. He was extremely focused, and the screen was filled with all sorts of constantly changing codes. It was confusing to look at.
Just then, Kate looked over at Olivia and said, “By the way, didn’t you go for an interview? How did it go?”
Before the topic was mentioned, Olivia still had her emotions under control. However, the moment it was brought up, she burned with fury. “Don’t bring it up! I was so pissed off!”
Kate frowned slightly. “What’s the matter? The president of the Nolan Group, Eugene Nolan, is a renowned businessman in the industry. Rumors have it that he is both handsome and wealthy—he is the most eligible bachelor across the entire Summer City! Most importantly, I heard that he has been looking for a woman—”
Olivia waved her hands, feeling a headache coming on. “Shut up! That b*stard isn’t as great as you say he is!”
Upon hearing that, North, who was sitting in front of the computer, pricked up his ears to listen and the frown on his face gradually deepened.
On the other hand, Olivia sighed and recounted her entire experience during the interview. At the end of her story, she concluded angrily, “He claimed that my moral character was poor and even harshly threatened to end my career! What a joke! If I, Olivia Maxwell, want to find a job, who wouldn’t be scrambling over themselves to hire me? Who does he think he is to end my career?!”
Kate patted her back gently. “Alright; there, there. Don’t be angry. Let’s have North teach him a lesson.”
