Olivia answered, “I know. It was back at Sean’s place, wasn’t it?” Emerald smiled. “That’s right. You’re such a capable woman, Miss Maxwell. Not only are you a genius doctor, you are alsothe owner of a fashion studio.”
“Just trying to put food on the table,” Olivia, responded. Emerald looked a little fidgety as she continued with a smile, “You’re being modest, Miss Maxwell. I know you’re a brilliant woman, and I’m sure you know why I’m here. It’s about Nicole.” Olivia cocked her eyebrow. “Why would you come to me if this is about her?”
Emerald responded awkwardly, “To tell you the truth, her father had tried to see Eugene many times, but he wouldn’t grant him an audience.. So, I have no choice but to seek you out; I know you’re his girlfriend. Please, help us. Nicole’s usually a good girl. I have no idea why she would do this. Please, have mercy on her. I’ll keep her on a leash from now on. I…”
Tears welled in her eyes, and a lump formed in her throat. She had to compose herself for al moment before she could continue. “She’s my only daughter. If she gets jailed, it’s over for her.”
Olivia poured some tea for Emerald and consoled, “I know how you feel, Mrs. West. But Eugene’s mother is the victim here. The assassination almost killed her. Alex-Eugene’s best friend-was also badly injured when he tried to save Eugene’s mother. He’s still recovering as we speak. I’m just Eugene’s girlfriend. I don’t think it’d be appropriate of me to plead for Nicole.”
