Female Novel
Chapter 261
Olivia smiled. It was a sweet and happy smile. “Don’t worry. Everyone knows you’re my bodyguard. Noone’s going to hurt me.”
Declan glanced at Olivia. She sounds so in love. Perhaps I made the wrong choice. I should neverhave dragged her into this mess. That Genius of Capitalis is already here, and Leah is here too.They’re not going to take her away by force, are they? If that happens, I’ll be their accomplice.
Regret washed over him. For a moment, he wanted to turn around. If Leah and that so-called geniuswanted to take Olivia away by force, there was no way he could fend them off. If Leah could easilydefeat him, that other guy could take him out easily.
I need to come up with an exit strategy for me and Olivia. Declan finally realized something was wrong.Leah must’ve been backed into a corner, or she wouldn’t have used Yuna as a hostage. While theywere waiting for the red light to turn green, Declan took out his phone and texted Quincy.
He wasn’t going to tell Thomas about it. He could feel that Thomas didn’t like him very much. If he toldThomas, he knew Thomas would kill him. After all, Thomas did kill his brother and father, and he wassure Thomas wouldn’t hesitate to kill him.
Quincy, however, was different. His family had known the Pearsons for generations. He was sureQuincy would lend a hand for old times’ sake. As long as Quincy stepped in, Leah would not doanything stupid.
He then turned a corner and stopped in front of a five-star hotel. After he parked the car, they went tothe room located on the top floor. Declan held his hand up to knock, but he hesitated.
A frown furrowed his brows as he struggled internally. He knew there was nothing but hell waiting forOlivia behind these doors.novelbin
Olivia gave her uncle a confused look. Why is he not opening the door? I’ll do it. She opened the doorand went inside without even thinking. She didn’t even look at the people inside until she was in theroom, and what she saw made her freeze. Yuna and Ophelie weren’t there. The only people aroundwere that hag and a young, handsome lad beside her.
Olivia snapped out of it a moment later, then she whirled around to look at Declan. Declan’s eyes werereddened, tears glistening within them. He hung his head low, too scared to face Olivia. His fists wereclenched, and he looked nervous and guilty.
Olivia took a deep breath. One look at Declan and she knew she was tricked. She couldn’t believe theperson she trusted the most would lie to her, and she tried to leave. She would never have a meal withthat hag. The sight of her killed any appetite she had.
However, before she could even leave, four burly men in suits stopped her. Declan stood aside,watching this as it happened. Yuna was still being held hostage so he couldn’t do anything about it.
“Ah, Olivia. Come, sit with me.” Leah stood up and approached Olivia, then she dragged her over toher seat.
“Beautiful. Much more beautiful than she looked in the photo. Much prettier than I imagined too.”Gunnar’s eyes shone. He liked Olivia’s looks. Before he came to this city, his father told him to take agood look at this woman. If he even found a single thing about her he didn’t like, he could refuse thismarriage. It was the Wilkersons who wanted this marriage, and they could ignore the request if theywanted.
“Come with us.” The burly men held Declan by his arms and dragged him away as per Leah’s orders.Now that Declan had played his part, there was no need for him to stay here anymore.
Olivia reacted fast. The moment Leah pushed her down, she tried to take her bag. She wanted to callThomas and ask for his help.
However, Leah was prepared. She snatched the bag away, denying Olivia any chance of asking forhelp. “This is my granddaughter, Gunnar. So, she’s beautiful, isn’t she? The most beautiful woman ofIrieson.” Leah grinned. “Olivia, this is your fiancé. Genius of Capitalis, Gunnar Flynn.”
Leah thought Olivia would be attracted by Gunnar’s looks, but all she did was give him a cursoryglance. “This is too far, Leah. What part of ‘no’ did you not understand? I am not your granddaughter,and you’re no grandmother of mine. Even if you dragged me all the way out here, I’m still never goingto call you my grandmother because we are not related at all.”
Gunnar froze. Huh, she doesn’t seem to be on good terms with her grandmother. She won’t evenacknowledge her? That’s bad.
“You’re throwing a tantrum again? Please don’t. Gunnar’s here.” Leah’s heart trembled with fear. Asone of the top families of Capitalis, the Flynns were strict with their children. If a woman was known tobe disrespectful to their elders, the Flynns would never accept her no matter how beautiful she was.
“Really?” Olivia sneered. “But I never said he was my fiancé, nor have I agreed to this marriage. If youwant him so much, why don’t you marry him? Because I sure am not.”
Gunnar swirled his glass of wine, staring at Leah darkly. “Madam Wilkerson, your granddaughterseems to dislike my family, and she’s not a good granddaughter either. I think we can call this marriageoff. My family will never accept a woman like her.”
Leah panicked. “Please, she’s not that kind of woman. We grew up estranged, so it’s normal she’sacting this way. She’s a brilliant woman. Beautiful, charming, and has great business managementskills. Everyone in this city knows that.”
