While saying that, he went to the fridge and brought some ice cubes into Olivia’s room. Later, his voice came from inside the room. “Mommy, this is a cold press for your eyes. Don’t be sad. If he hurts you, I’ll help you get back at him, and if he doesn’t learn from his mistakes, we’ll dump him. You’re so beautiful. There must be a lot of men chasing after you. In the future, I’ll acknowledge whoever treats you well to be my daddy…”
Jewel’s nose felt sore when listening to that. Olivia was lucky to have North with her. Suddenly, she heard her phone ring and took it out. It was a message from Eugene. ‘Jewel, how is Olivia?”
She replied, ‘She’s fine. Don’t worry. North and I are with her.’ Then, she received another text from him. ‘She’s furious, isn’t she? Did she cry?’
She answered, ‘Yes. You should head back. She’s mad and wouldn’t listen to anything you say! ‘Was the person at the Nambahd Palace Olivia?’ he asked. She replied, ‘Yes.’ He asked again, ‘Why was she with Christoff?!
Feeling conflicted, Jewel was unsure if she should tell Eugene what had happened, but she still decided to do it. ‘Christoff and Olivia are on the same film set. We couldn’t get a hold of you, so she was worried. That day, Christoff overheard her asking for a leave from Director Norris, and when we came out from the hotel, he was already waiting for us at the entrance.
Also, he said he knew where you were and threatened us to get on his plane. When we got to Nambahd Palace, he demanded Olivia to be his female companion, so he let us change. appearances and brought Olivia inside. Eugene’s eyebrows furrowed tightly. ‘Christoff and Olivia are on the same film set?”
Jewel explained, ‘Yes. He’s currently playing the second supporting male cast, Avery Mauve. But Olivia promised him she wouldn’t tell anyone about him changing appearances, so don’t make things difficult for her. I’m only telling you this so you can settle your misunderstandings sooner. If you have anything to say to Olivia, just say it and don’t hide anything from her, or she will overthink.” He only replied with one word, ‘Okay.’
After that, he put away his phone. F*ck, Christoff. What was he trying to do by joining Olivia’s set? Could he be after her? Wait, Avery Mauve. Isn’t the male actor who had a 38-minute private chat with Olivia Avery Mauve?
Fishing out his phone, Eugene planned to confirm his thoughts but found the article already removed. He knew it was his son’s work. Still, what was Christoff doing? Was it to get back at him? Or had he taken a fancy to Olivia?
The following day, Olivia had applied a cold press just in time, so her eyes were not as swollen as last night. Since she did not rest well, visible dark circles were under her eyes, making her seem less energetic.
Jewel felt heartbroken to see her condition. “Olivia, are you alright? We can go tomorrow if you’re not feeling good.”
Olivia refused. “No need for that. I can’t keep taking leaves. The production crew has delayed a lot of progress because of me. Let’s go!” While she spoke, she opened the door, not expecting to bump into Eugene, who had been waiting outside.
In reality, he did not leave and rested there the whole night. As he was worried he might miss her, he had been waiting since early morning. “Olivia…” He smiled and greeted her like nothing happened last night.
She ignored Eugene and was about to leave, but he pulled her back. “Olivia, let’s talk.” While looking at him with her cold eyes, she questioned, “What’s there to talk about…
between us?” He explained, ‘Olivia, please don’t be angry. I was afraid you might misunderstand me, so I lied. Azalea and I have nothing to do with each other. Please believe me.”
