“To be honest, I’m not sure how I can assist you. Eugene is difficult to please unless you have something to trade with him. As long as he withdraws the lawsuit, the rest will be resolved,” said Nicole.
When Penny heard this, her eyes immediately lit up. “Olivia! It’s unbelievable how well he treats Olivia! He’ll definitely agree if you exchange her for him.”
“Do you believe you can pull this off? Why would she even listen to you?” Nicole asked. “We can simply kidnap her.” “Not again! If your uncle finds out, he will not let you off the hook.” “Don’t worry. I won’t take her life, so he won’t do that to me,” Penny said as she prepared to leave.
“Oh my God. Please stop. You’re terrifying me. I wouldn’t have let you come if I knew this was going to happen. Others might think I was the one who encouraged you such heinous acts.” Nicole feigned terror as she frantically grabbed her.
“I know you’re the best, Nicole. You can be certain that I will never involve you in anything I do!” Penny exclaimed as she took Nicole’s hand in hers.
Nicole was rendered speechless by her words. She made a phone call after Penny had left. Soon, a male voice resounded from the phone. “Miss West!”
“Penny just left. Please keep it a secret that I’m acquainted with her. You must allow her to discover your power inadvertently. If Olivia is kidnapped, kill her right away!”
“Roger that, Miss West,” affirmed the man. “If everything goes well, I’ll meet you tonight at the hotel!” Nicole stated. “Okay, Miss West. I will assist you in fulfilling your desire to repay your great kindness and virtue!” the man said in a humble tone.
On the other hand, a man had just entered Olivia’s fashion studio when he introduced himself as Andy Yard. His parents’ wedding anniversary was coming up in a few days, so he wanted to tailor some clothes for them. However, Andy’s mother was in poor health, so he requested Olivia to pay his parents a personal visit.
Though Olivia had no legal obligation to provide such personal services, he was still a gentle, polite and knowledgeable man, whom she had a favorable impression of because of his conversant personality; the fact that he remained so filial was the most important aspect. As a result, she obliged his request.
Andy suggested that she should visit today in which she agreed. She had to go sooner or later anyway; on top of that, she was available today.
She then got into his car and the two arrived at a villa after an hour of journey. It was a three-story villa near the quiet suburbs, but it was suitable for the elderly to live in; at least that was what Oliva pondered as she approached the villa.
Subsequently, she went after Andy and followed him into a room. Though the room was small, there was an elderly lady and an elderly man on the couch.
“Mom and Dad, this is Miss Maxwell, Summer City’s most famous costume designer. She’s here today to help you with your clothing design, Andy introduced them.
The elders were both ecstatic to hear that. “Hurry up and take a seat. You look stunning!” Andy’s mother complimented as she reached out her hand to pull Olivia. “Mrs. Yard, you’re also a beauty,” Olivia reciprocated as she touched the old lady’s rough hand with a smile and sat down beside them.
“How can I be beautiful when I’m so old? I used to look average when I was younger, but now my face is full of wrinkles.” Mrs. Yard chuckled. Olivia smiled but remained silent.
She noticed that the Yards’ demeanor seemed to contradict what he had described. These two elderly did not appear to be wealthy. Despite being dressed in luxury brand clothing, they appear unremarkable.
