The Beginning Of All Sins novel (Olivia and Tyler) novel Chapter 448

"Jacob!" Sophie called as she walked toward him. They exchanged a glance and got into the car.

"So, what did he say to you?" Sophie asked.

Jacob remembered how Claude looked when he brought up Olivia and frowned slightly. But then he quickly smiled. "Your brother is a really nice guy. He's gentle and treats me well."

"Of course he is. Claude is the best."

"He didn't seem like the sort of guy the media made him out to be. He couldn't have possibly done those things to Morgan Harris," Jacob blurted out.

"No way! That's all horse crap!" Sophie responded with frustration. "Someone must have set him up! No one really knows what happened that night... not even my brother."

Jacob paused for a second. "That aside, Claude also… asked about Olivia."

Sophie stared at him intensely. Jacob could feel the intensity of her gaze and took her hand. "Look, Soof, I even took you to meet my parents! There's no way I still have feelings for her. It's just... Claude. I think he might, you know—"

"Claude likes her," Sophie cut in.

Jacob was silent for a few seconds.

"To be honest, I wouldn't mind if Olivia became part of my family. If only she wasn't already married into the Harris family..." Sophie said thoughtfully.

Jacob's expression darkened a little.

"Anyway, you can't meet Olivia anymore, Jacob! Not even as a friend!" Sophie stated aloud. "Because Claude is, well, interested in her."

It was both a reminder and a warning. Between those lines, though, was Sophie's own hidden worry.
