Chapter 66: We’re Not That Familiar
Emma’s emotions flickered in her eyes upon hearing Abigail’s words.
After being rejected by Victor before and then suddenly learning that this woman was going back to her home country, Emma couldn’t wait any longer. She had been trying her best to establish a position by Victor’s side.
Early this morning, she specifically invited the elderly couple from the Leer family to persuade Victor, hoping he would change his mind.
But unexpectedly, she faced disappointment once again and had to endure the sight of that despicable person’s face for the whole day.
With the elderly couple present, she couldn’t vent her anger.
After enduring a day full of frustration, Emma decided to go shopping with Abigail to calm herself down.
However, she didn’t expect to hear this news.
Old Whitaker’s condition, which had stumped numerous doctors, was unexpectedly cured by Olivia!
On top of that, Isaac had signed a contract with Olivia in advance, supplying the research institute with medicinal materials at half the price!
So, all the efforts Emma had made, urging the Seacrest medicinal suppliers to boycott Olivia’s research institute, were all in vain.
Thinking of this, Emma’s eyes turned cold, and she said with a hint of anger, “Didn’t I arrange a medical team to treat Old Whitaker? Wasn’t it ineffective? Why did she take over his case?”
Emma looked coldly at the woman who was so close by, her heart filled with irritation.
She had put in so much effort, yet this woman managed to find medicinal suppliers through Seacrest.
Emma was sure that this woman had made fun of her behind her back!
Abigail was taken aback for a moment and hesitated before saying, “It’s not like that… The medical teams you arranged must have been effective. But this woman came to us on her own and convinced my brother. Under her treatment, grandfather’s condition has indeed improved. So, my brother made the decision, and she will be responsible for the follow-up.”
At this point, it was useless for Emma to say anything.
She let out a cold snort in her heart but maintained a polite expression as she addressed Olivia, “I didn’t expect Miss Prescott to possess such ability. Even professional medical teams can’t compare to you alone.”
Olivia scrolled through her phone screen and responded calmly, “There are many things you can’t see. By the way, since you have known that I have signed a contract with the Whitaker family, Miss Thornton, what other tricks are you planning to play?”
Emma’s expression suddenly turned grim, but she innocently replied, “What do you mean? I should thank you for healing Old Whitaker. Why would I play tricks on you?”
Olivia was not interested in playing along and straightforwardly said, “You know very well what I mean. And if you still want to play tricks, I don’t mind.”
Upon hearing this, Emma’s face grew even colder, and she remained silent for a moment.
Abigail, who was on the side, saw the tension between the two and cautiously interjected, “Emma, do you… know each other?”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Emma let out a cold laugh, no longer hiding her hostility towards Olivia, “We’re more than just acquainted. I would even say we have quite a history.”
After speaking, Emma turned her head provocatively toward Olivia and added, “Wouldn’t you agree, Miss Prescott?”
Just as Olivia finished settling the bill, she heard this remark. She raised her eyes indifferently, glanced at the two women in front of her, and said with a smirk, “Miss Thornton, I can’t agree with your statement. We’re not that familiar. I would appreciate it if you refrained from making such comments in the future; they make me uncomfortable.”
Emma’s face stiffened, anger burning in her eyes.
“It’s getting late. You two should go in and have your meal. I won’t disturb your evening any further.”
With a casual nod in their direction, Olivia led the two little boys past them without a second glance, leaving the restaurant behind.
