“Chris.” Christoff gestured toward the woman who was standing despite having a bleeding head and then to a nearby couple who had planned to ambush them with Martin before giving an order. “Take them all away for me.”
After that, he pointed to Martin who was lying motionless on the ground, and said, “Get two people to follow him to the hospital. I want him alive.”
As he said this, his face was full of ferocity. The woman replied, “It has nothing to do with me. I just met him at this motorcycle race.”
Without any nonsense, Christoff replied, “Whether it has anything to do with you or not, we’ll find out soon.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Olivia. His voice was no longer as cold and harsh as when he spoke to the others, but rather gentle. “Let’s go. I’ll take you back.”
“Okay.” Olivia didn’t want to get involved in his matters. When they arrived at the hotel, she got off the motorcycle and said goodbye to Christoff before walking toward the hotel. However, he suddenly stopped her. “Olivia…”
She stopped in her tracks and looked at him. “What’s wrong?” “I’ll give you an explanation after investigating what happened tonight.’ After saying that, he rode his motorcycle and left.
With a suspicious look at the departing vehicle, Olivia frowned. What does he mean? Isn’t he the one who said those people were after him?
Back in the room, Jewel greeted her, “My goodness, you’re back. Where have you been ?” Olivia sat wearily on the couch. “Ugh. I almost lost my life today.”
However, Jewel was completely clueless. “What do you mean? Where did you go?” Without holding anything back, Olivia recounted tonight’s events to Jewel. ‘I finally understand what Christoff was trying to say.”
Jewel looked puzzled. She continued, “He told me that he will give me an explanation. I think he is guilty of getting me caught up in this mess.”
“As he should! Why did he bring you to a motorcycle race when he invited you for a meal?” Jewel said angrily.
As she spoke, she couldn’t help feeling a wave of fear and reprimanded, “What were you thinking? You actually rode off from such a height! What if something had gone wrong?”
“If I hadn’t done that, we would have both died.”
Olivia pouted and continued, “You have no idea how badly they were injured. They almost got themselves killed even though they were on the same team. If I had hesitated for a second, you wouldn’t be seeing me now.”
“Who could be targeting Christoff anyway?” Shaking her head with an indifferent expression, Olivia replied, “I don’t know. Let’s go to sleep now. I’m exhausted.”
Jewel’s heart was pounding with fear, but when she looked at Olivia, she appeared as calm as ever. “Were you not scared at all?”
“Of course I was, but I managed to conquer it. When I was off the cliff, I was so scared that my legs were like jelly, but I’m okay now.”
Hearing that, Jewel was still trembling as she imagined her friend’s thrilling encounter. “Just listening to what happened scares me. What if they come after you since you unintentionally: interfered with their assassination?”
“What does it have to do with me? I can’t risk my life for their mission, right?”
“It’s all Christoff’s fault. He doesn’t even have a role in the drama now, but he keeps coming to the set. Who would believe that he doesn’t have feelings for you?”
“I guess he’ll stop coming now.”
“How so?” With a smug expression, Olivia looked at Jewel and explained, “Eugene must have been informed after such a big incident. He refrained from taking any action last night only because he was rescuing you. It would be strange if he doesn’t deal with Christoff tonight.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the doorbell rang in the room. Jewel was puzzled. Who’s here at this late hour?
With that, she went to open the door and found Eugene and North standing outside. Both of them looked dusty and haggard, and it seemed that they had been in a hurry.
After taking a few steps forward, Eugene assessed Olivia’s condition before inquiring, “Olivia, are you alright?” Olivia smiled and replied, “Yeah, I’m fine.”
