Chapter 708

Author: Nightly Orient
Since Zac had said that, it would make Jimmy look suspicious if he still rejected him.

Even if they were fighting behind the scenes, they still needed to look harmonious on the surface.

Especially when Jimmy still wanted to use Zac to get back at the Jameson family. So, he could not leave Zac with nothing.

Hence, he smiled. “Sure, of course. The director of the Legal Department, right?”

“Yes, Dad.”

“When are you planning to come to work?”

“What do you think?”

Jimmy looked at him and then at Olivia. “It’s up to you, but I’m worried that you won’t be able to handle it.”

Then, he justified himself. “However, you can just familiarize yourself with the environment first. You don’t need to work overtime. It all depends on you.”

“Alright, I’ll come to work next Monday.”

“Okay, sure. I’ll get HR to arrange this for you.”

“Thank you, Dad.”

Jimmy’s smile looked forced as he patted Zac’s shoulder. “Why are you thanking me? We’re father and son.”

    “Liv, how was my performance just now?”Olivia burst into laughter. “I almost believed you were filial.”“Jimmy loves to be complimented. Also, he always wanted me to submit to him. So, there’s no reason for him to be unhappy now that I was all over him like that.”“Zac, what’s your next plan?”“I will need to look at a lot of information when I’m in the Legal Department. That way, I’ll be able to find flaws.”Zac looked at her and chuckled coldly. “I’ll bring Quinton Group down, make him beg me to help him, and then I’ll help him build Quinton Group up again.”“However, Quinton Group is your grandfather’s blood, sweat, and tears. If it collapses…”Zac smiled mysteriously. “Don’t worry. I won’t let that happen.”‘At most, I’ll just cripple it.’…The two went back to Elegance Gardens. After lunch, Olivia pushed Zac as they took a stroll in the yard.Mrs. Simmons smiled gladly as she watched from one side.Compared to how she was with her previous husband, Mrs. Simmons felt

    “Know me? How?”“When they called me, the person said that if I don’t have the money, I can get it from my friend Phoebe. Isn’t she Mrs. Quinton?”Olivia was shocked. She then lowered her head to look at Zac. They knew this was not as simple as it seemed.“Mrs. Simmons, take Ms. Sutherland to have a shower and change out of her clothes.”“Yes, Miss.”“Pheebs, are you not willing to help me…”“Ten million is not a small amount, so I need to talk to Zac about this. Go take a shower. We’ll tell you after we talk about it, okay?”Jennie was a little worried. “Pheebs, are you not mad at me?”Olivia did not answer. “Do you have a photo of that man?”“Yeah. I’ll send it to you.”“Okay.”Olivie pushed Zac past Jennie and then said to Mrs. Simmons softly, “Take care of her for me.”Then, she pushed Zac to the second floor.Once they reached the study, Olivia sat on the sofa. She felt like her brain was a mess.Even if Jennie betrayed her, this blackmail was clearly targeted at her

    “Also, send me the picture of that man, I’ll help you find him. If we manage to get to him, we’ll be able to follow the clues and figure out who the mastermind behind all this is.”“Alright, I’ll send it to you.”Zac nodded. “I’ve sent it to Wilbur. I’ll go out with you to make it clear to her.” Then, he took Olivia’s hand and walked out of the study, and headed to the first floor.Coincidentally, Jennie had just finished showering and had come out wearing Olivia’s clothes. “Pheebs.”Looking at how Jennie was portraying a victimized look, Olivia frowned.Zac held Olivia’s hand tightly and gave her a knowing look to not say a word.Olivia could only take a deep breath and passed the card to Jennie. “This is all we have.”“Ten million?”“Five million.”“Only five million? It’s not enough! What am I supposed to do?”Jennie burst out into tears and plopped onto the floor.Looking at her like this, Olivia felt like Jennie was someone she had never met before.“Jennie Sutherl

    Even though Olivia had seen Jennie’s true colors, she was still a little worried, causing her to not be able to sleep the entire night as she scrolled through her phone repeatedly, so afraid that she would see the news of a woman's corpse being pulled out of the sea.However, a night passed, and there were no abnormalities in the news even up till the morning of the next day.Olivia breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the gloomy skies out the window and the chirpy birds on the tree and decided that she would pull her curtains and nap for a while.She had just laid down when a new one popped up on her phone.Olivia glanced at it subconsciously and what she saw froze her immediately.How did the media know? Did someone leak it?She really could not sleep then, so she scrambled up to take a bath and went downstairs.Mrs. Simmons saw how early Olivia was up and how tired she looked and knew that Olivia did not sleep the entire night.“Go take a nap, Ms. Larson, it’s still early

    Zac held Olivia’s hand and looked up at her gently. “I have my wife with me, so I don’t have to trouble my father. He’s really busy.”Fabian chuckled. “Well, actually, Mr. Quinton isn’t at the office today. If you’re going for a follow-up next time, just ask me, and I’ll let you know Mr. Quinton’s schedule for that day.”“No need. What I meant is that my father has a very busy personal life.”It was no secret that Jimmy had a lot of mistresses.Fabian was undoubtedly bragging that his mom was still alive and that Jimmy was keeping his mom company.Thus, Zac had chosen to use this to irritate him.Fabian laughed dryly. “You’re right, I won’t disturb you further then. I’ll go and visit my mom.”“Sure.”When Fabian turned around, Zac suddenly called out to him. “Mr. Fabian.”Fabian turned around impatiently while forcing a smile on his face. “Yes, Mr. Zac?”“See you at Quinton Group next Monday.”Then, Zac smiled at Fabian gently and politely, causing Fabian to get his temper s

    “That’s great! I…”Before Olivia could finish, she turned to look at Zac, who was beside him, and the words that came out of her mouth took a sharp turn. “Next time. I’m not free today. Please apologize to Sam for me.”John was a little dejected. “You don’t even have time for a meal?”“John, if I wanted to meet Sam, I don’t want to just have a rushed meal with him. Do you understand what I mean?”“Yes. I know what to do now.”Olivia pursed her lips. “Okay, please tell me beforehand after you’ve set up another date.”“Sure.”After hanging up the phone, Zac asked, “Why did you say no? You clearly wanted to go.”“I’ve gotten Jimmy to come over to put on a show with us, so how can I just leave you there alone?”Olivia kept her phone and added, “Also, if I’m not there, Jimmy is for sure going to do something. He’s so evil! I’m worried that he’ll hurt you.”Zac’s heart trembled. He looked at her with mixed feelings and said to her in a half-joking way. “Liv, if you keep this up, I

    Jimmy forced a smile onto his face. “Of course.”Then, he patted Zac on his shoulder and said, “You trust me right, Zac?”“Of course! After I was admitted into the hospital, you’re the one that came to visit me all the time, and after learning that I injured my legs, you were worried that I could not go to court again and continue to be a lawyer, so you invited me back to Quinton Group to be the director of the Legal Department. How could you ever be the one who wanted me dead, Dad?”Jimmy’s mouth twitched again. He looked at Zac and chuckled dryly. “Of course. I only have you, my only son. Of course I’d take this opportunity to grab you for the company for work!”The two of them were bantering back and forth, and though they might have seemed very close, they were actually jabbing each other subtly.The paparazzi were quick to swarm them, and they asked, “Mr. Zac, I heard you don’t even own shares in Quinton Group. Is that true?”“This…”Zac looked at Jimmy and said, “I haven’t

    Time Bar.Dorothy drank as she read the news, and when she reached the last line, she slammed the glass on the floor ruthlessly. “B*tch!”Kate frowned. “Dolly, why are you so worked up?”Dorothy threw her phone over. “Look at that b*tch Phoebe James! Isn’t she trying to hint to the press that I set up Zac’s car accident?!”“Dolly, the innocent will stay innocent. The police need solid evidence, and her words aren’t convincing enough.”Hearing this, Dorothy glared at her coldly and poured another glass of wine for herself. Then, she finished it in one go.Kate suddenly thought of something. “Please don’t tell me that you’re actually the culprit behind the car accident?”“So what if I am?”“Dolly, how could you do this to Zac?”“Oh, Zac…”Dorothy sneered. “Will your Zac even look at you? Didn’t he marry a counterfeit instead?!”Kate was slightly dissatisfied. “I’ve never had any feelings for Zac. Don’t be so crude when you speak.” “Hah! Stop kidding yourself. Why would you

    Elegance Gardens.As soon as Olivia entered the door, Ken appeared out of nowhere with Fred and Kate standing beside her. Then, the three of them looked at her with surprisingly serious eyes.Olivia was stunned for a moment. “What’s the matter? I just went out for a meal. Why are you so serious?”“Was Jennie the one who took you out?”It was Ken who spoke first.Olivia nodded. “Well, yes.”“Liv, are you crazy? You went out to eat with her?”Fred stepped forward, looked her up and down, and said with a frown, “Have you forgotten how she betrayed you? You should never tolerate someone who cheats even once. What if she had bad intentions of inviting you out?”“Pheebs, that woman is not as straightforward as you think.”Out of the three, Ken was the calmest. “Did she say what she was doing in Ocean City?”Olivia shook her head. “I asked, but she didn’t say anything. She only said that she wanted to stay in Ocean City and asked if I was still angry with her.”Hearing this, Fred r

    Jennie brought Olivia to a popular fondue place. The melted cheese looked very appetizing, and it was the kind that Olivia liked in the past.However, she could not raise her spirits today, and after eating a few mouthfuls, she put down her fork and started to space out.Jennie gave her a piece of strawberry. “Pheebs, eat more. You are so skinny now. Why do you still eat so little?”“Maybe I don’t have a good appetite.”“Don’t you always have an appetite for cheese? Pheebs, how long have you been like this? Have you seen a doctor?”“I’m used to it. It’s fine.”Jennie suddenly grabbed Olivia’s hand and looked at her solemnly. “Pheebs, what’s wrong with you? You’ve really changed a lot, and I don’t even know you anymore. Even though I could tell you were sad before, you were still very positive, but now… I’m worried that you’re going to do something stupid.”Upon hearing this, Olivia was stunned for a moment. Then, she forced a smile. “No, I just haven’t slept well recently, so I’

    The next day, Olivia woke up and planned to go to the mental hospital to find Dorothy without telling everyone, but she received an unexpected call.“Pheebs, it’s me. I’m in Ocean City. Do you want to meet?”Olivia was stunned for a few seconds before she realized who the other party was. Then, she could not stop herself from frowning.“Jennie Sutherland?”“Pheebs, are you still mad at me? Why are you calling my full name like that?”Olivia pursed her lips. She smiled dryly and did not explain.Perhaps it was because too many things had happened recently and they had affected her state of mind. Unbeknownst to her, she became less tolerant now.Whatever happened in the past had not blown away like dust, but remained in her heart and turned into a deep grudge.When she heard that Olivia was not speaking, Jennie smiled. “Are you free for a meal? Pheebs, do you not even want to eat with me now? I am genuinely…”“Next time.”She was still a murder suspect. Plus, she still had not

    ‘Zy...‘This woman looks like Zy…’Fiona Miller glanced at her, frowned slightly, and stepped forward to get in front of her.“You are so weak, but you still have time to worry about me? Stand behind me.”Olivia was taken aback. Not only did they look alike, but they even spoke similarly, especially so as she stood in front of Olivia. They were so similar…Before Olivia knew it, her eyes were red.‘Zy…’However, her Zy died in her arms. She watched Zy lose her breath with her own eyes, so how could she appear here?However, Olivia was really greedy for more time with Zy, so greedy that she did not want to be rational anymore.When she regained her composure, she saw Fiona and the fat woman engaging in a fight, so she hurried forward to help. Olivia pulled the fat woman’s hair back and then separated the two.The fat woman cursed a few times, but in the end, she was still a little scared, so she ran to the opposite side of the room and squatted down.Under the light, Fiona’s

    “He really is innocent!”Olivia roared as she watched the officer walking away.However, the other party did not look back at her. It was as if no one cared about the truth at all.Just as she lost her footing and fell, someone pulled her hair forcefully.“Ah!”“Hello, b*tch! Someone wants us to take good care of you!”When Olivia heard that, an unusually tall and burly woman had already dragged her to the ground. The woman then sat on Olivia’s body and slapped her with all her might.Olivia had just had a fever and was still weak. Thus, when she was slapped hard all of a sudden, she felt her brain buzzing instantly.However, the other party did not seem like she was going to stop. After that, the woman raised her hand and slapped Olivia again.After two slaps, blood spilled from the corner of Olivia’s mouth, contrasting against her pale face even more eerily.Just as the fat woman was about to slap her for the third time, Olivia suddenly exerted all her strength to grab the

    After a while, someone kicked open the door, and uniformed police officers walked in with an arrest warrant.“Miss Olivia Larson, we need you to come with us.”Olivia was taken aback, but Fred had already rushed forward before she could register what was going on.“There is no Olivia Larson here. You have found the wrong person. My sister still has a fever and needs to rest. Please get out immediately!”However, the leader of the group just glanced at him, ignored him, and then walked around him to the bed. After that, he looked down at Olivia, who was lying weakly on the bed.“Ms. Larson, you probably don’t want me to take coercive measures, do you?”Olivia did not know what was happening, but she knew very well that her identity had been revealed. She had nowhere to escape, so she had to face the music.Therefore, she lifted the blanket and stood up.“Okay, I’ll go with you. But please wait for a moment downstairs to let me change, okay?”The man glanced at her and nodded, “

    Olivia fell ill. However, scared of being hounded by the paparazzi, Mrs. Simmons was too scared to send her to the hospital, so she could only call Ken over.The two were busy these days and did not have much contact with each other. Ken came in and froze when he saw Olivia lying in bed.'Why is her face so pale? Why is she so frail? She's so thin that she looks like a piece of paper from far away and has blended into the covers.' "Ken? You came?"Groggy, Olivia felt someone standing at the end of the bed watching her, so she tried hard to open her eyes to see. Seeing it was Ken, she squeezed out a smile."Jeez, Mrs. Simmons. I'm just a little tired. Did she have to bring you over?"Ken frowned, went up to test her forehead, and said, "You're an adult. Why did you get yourself into this with no one around to look after you? You're a mother. You don't even know you have a fever and still stay up all night."Olivia pressed her lips together and said nothing."Are you worried ab

    Xavier bailed out Olivia that night."Pheebs, don't worry. Nothing's going to happen to you. Trust me."Xavier grabbed her hand and comforted her repeatedly, but Olivia did not respond. She was like a stunned puppet.She had temporarily left the place that scared her, but her heart was still unsettled.She thought everything was over when John died.However, it seemed John's death was the beginning of everything.Who was behind all this?She desperately wanted to know.She suddenly grabbed Xavier's arm and used an almost imploring tone, "Xavier, help me find out who did this, will you?"She knew she could only solve the problem from the root by finding the real culprit and source.Xavier frowned. "I will. Please give me a moment.""Thank you...""Don't thank me. You're making yourself a stranger."Xavier opened the car door for her as he spoke. "Get in the car. I'll take you home. Lyla and the rest are waiting for you at home."Olivia froze at the mention of Lyla. Then sh

    After leaving Quinton Group, Olivia got another call from the school."Mrs. Quinton, you can be at ease now that we've investigated this and all those involved have been handed over to the police."The person on the other end of the line paused. "Besides, we've also solved the case of Sam smashing the car. All the teachers involved have been fired, and the students have been ordered to transfer to another school. You can let Sam and Miss come back to school without any worries, Madam."She frowned as she hung up.She was surprised by the way the school handled this.She did not believe the school handled it voluntarily. After all, the principal had arrogantly demanded an apology from her.Why fire everyone all of a sudden?The more Olivia thought about it, the more she realized that it must have something to do with the board of directors, but who was secretly helping her?'Is it Zac?'Is he atoning for it in such a way because he knows he did something wrong but is too scared
