Chapter 35: Reconciliation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Sophia was a little impatient. She really hated her mother for not having a good background and not being able to give herself a powerful backer.
“Can’t you just give him some pillow talk? I haven’t calmed down from the slap he gave me last time. I don’t want to talk to him at all. You can do it yourself. Oh right, give me some money. I’ll do some charity and see if I can cover up this matter.”
Hersha took out a bank card and handed it to Sophia. “Okay, okay, Mom will go. Behave yourself and don’t cause any more trouble. There’s $500,000 in the card. Take it and spend it first.”
When Hersha came out, she bumped into Joseph, who was furious and wanted to find Sophia and question her. Hersha was worried for her daughter, and seeing her husband like this, she did not dare to let him in, afraid that he would hit her.
She hurriedly tidied up her nightgown and looked at Joseph with a fawning expression. Her eyes were tender like water. Her skin was so delicate that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it. The faintly discernible spring scene under her skirt was very tempting.
“Hubby, you’re back. Have you eaten? Or do you want to eat something?”
How could Joseph not know what Hersha was thinking? However, when faced with such a lovely woman, his anger was immediately extinguished by half. How could he still lose his temper?
“Hersha, don’t protect her anymore. If this goes on, you’ll spoil her.”
Hersha walked to the side of Joseph, held the man’s hand, and led him into the room. She kept trying to curry favor with him and put in a good word for Sophia.
Sophia leaned against the door and listened to the commotion outside. She only opened the door and poked her head out when there was no sound. She only felt relieved when she saw her parents walking away. If her father came to her, he would probably nag her to death.
Suddenly, she felt that her mother was still useful. She stared at the dusty room opposite her and said fiercely, “Don’t be smug. Just wait and see. Sooner or later, you will fall into my hands. When that time comes, you will suffer.”
The current situation did not allow Sophia to continue with the next step of her plan. She could only settle down and wait until this matter was forgotten before she could retaliate for the humiliation she suffered today.
…
Looking at the short video, Brian admired this woman from the bottom of his heart. He had originally wanted to use this opportunity to create the illusion that he had broken up with Olivia and let those people let down their guard. He would then take the opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty so that those people would not dare to touch her again.
However, he seemed to have underestimated Olivia. She was much more dazzling than he had imagined. If he tried to protect her, it would only cover her radiance. She was like a piece of gold that would shine in the corner no matter how much he protected her.
Perhaps he was too cautious and nervous. Since that was the case, he would let her be. Brian suddenly thought of something and drove to buy a rose and an exquisite necklace. When he returned to the villa, it was already late at night.
The lights on the second floor of the villa had already been switched off. It seemed like she had already fallen asleep.
Uncle Ford put on his clothes and came to receive Brian before accompanying him up to the second floor.
Brian carefully went upstairs, afraid that he would wake up the person in the room. He quietly opened the door and found a person lying on the bed. He took a cold shower on the first floor before returning to the bed.
Olivia felt a pair of hands hugging her from behind and woke up in shock. She switched on the lights and realized that it was Brian. He buried his head in her back like a child who had done something wrong.
Olivia deliberately nudged Brian. “Why are you hugging me? Didn’t you say that I have an affair with someone else? Didn’t you say that you hate betrayal the most? Why are you hugging me?”
As she pretended to be angry, Brian raised his head and saw the honest and cute Olivia. He cupped her face and kissed her before taking out the flowers and necklace he had bought.
“Don’t be angry. I wanted to protect you in my own way, but you made me feel that you can protect yourself better. I won’t do this next time. If there’s anything that happens in the future, remember to tell me in advance. Don’t be worried.”
Olivia seemed to have immediately understood Brian’s intentions and hugged this man tightly. It turned out that they had fallen hopelessly in love with each other.
“You said it yourself. You’re not allowed to do that again. My heart really hurt at that time. I realized that I couldn’t help but fall in love with you. What should I do?” Olivia whispered into Brian’s ear.
Brian felt as if a feather had brushed past his heart. He had seen all of this in the video of the night long ago. Everything she said was engraved in his heart.
Brian rubbed her head and kissed her.
…
Olivia was woken up by her phone. There were five missed calls from her cousin, Tiffany. She was so frightened that she thought something had happened and immediately called back.
On the other end of the phone, her cousin’s anxious voice could be heard. “My dear girl, come quickly. The police station is looking for us.”
The police station?
Olivia had a blank look on her face.
Why was it the police station again?
Brian sat lazily on the head of the bed, looking at her with a slight smile, like a big bad wolf.
“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?”
Brian took a closer look and nodded seriously. Olivia immediately covered her face in shock.
“I can see a man in your eyes. He looks so lifelike. He’s a handsome man. The more I look at him, the more he resembles me.”
No way! Why was this man so narcissistic!? Would it kill him to be less narcissistic?
Olivia glared at Brian, but her heart was sweeter than honey.
“I’m not going to make a fuss anymore. The police station is looking for me. I have to go and see what’s going on. You should go and head to work first. You don’t have to worry about my cousin and me. Lina might be there too.”
Brian originally wanted to help, but he immediately dismissed this thought when he recalled the short film.
“If you need my help, just tell me. I don’t want to interfere with your business. You have your ideas and ways. You might be able to handle it better than me.”
This kind of feeling of being respected and valued made Olivia feel very happy. She didn’t want to always rely on him either. At present, everything in the Garcia Corporation was normal. They had also gotten rid of the parasites and were developing in a good direction.
Olivia nodded, took a shower, changed her clothes, and left the house. Tiffany was already waiting at the door. As soon as she got into the car, she rushed to the police station at a speed of 120 km/h.
“Cousin, what’s the matter? Why are the police looking for us?”
Tiffany shook her head, indicating that she wasn’t too sure either. “It should be related to Allie.”
When they arrived at the police station, a thin man grabbed hold of Olivia.
“You’re a murderer! You are the one who killed my wife! You were afraid that the matter would be discovered and buried my wife in a hurry so that I wouldn’t find out!”
From the looks of it, this man should be Allie’s husband. He was really good at playing the blame game. However, what was his motive?
