Seeing Vivian sitting on her own suitcase, Olivia quickly rushed over with a smile, "I'm really sorry, darling. I worked too late last night and overslept!"

Vivian Kane sneered, examining Olivia and the little "marks" on her neck. "Hmm, you did really work late. Aren't you scared that your icy husband will break your 'silicone'?"

Olivia's mouth twitched at the corners, silently cursing in her head. This girl's "silicone" must have frozen and fallen off once.

In the coffee shop, Vivian stirred her coffee while sizing up Olivia.

"You were going to get a divorce the other day, changed your mind again?"

"Nope, I'm going to divorce!" 

Straightened up, Olivia took a sip of her coffee. She knew there was more to Vivian Kane's question.

"Sigh,"

Vivian sighed deeply,

 "I don't know what to say to you. If you're determined, just make it quick and less pain. Why are you so reluctant? It's just going to cause you more pain."

"Enough about me. Why did you suddenly come back? How could your parents bear to let their precious daughter return?"

Vivian grew up abroad, and when she was in high school, she became an exchange student and went to Olivia's school due to some special abilities, where she helped Olivia chase away a few hooligans and subsequently became famous and they became best friends.

"Of course they couldn't bear it, but I said I'm back to study business management. I also threatened not to take over the family business if they didn't let me come back, so they got scared!" Vivian said proudly.

In fact, Vivian still has an elder brother, who has no interest in the family business and has been travelling abroad, so the whole family has pinned all their hopes on her.

"Here, this is for you!" Vivian pulls out a check from her bag and hands it to Olivia.

"What for?"

 Olivia gives it a puzzled look, not reaching out to accept it.

"Don't play dumb with me, okay?"

"I really don't need it. Put it away or I'll be upset!" 

She understands what Vivian means and knows that she is trying to help her, but it's not time for that yet! If it comes to that point, she would accept it without hesitation because Vivian is her best friend. 

When she's with her, there's no need to put on airs.

"Alright then, I'll keep it for now, but you mustn't be shy about it, okay?" 

Vivian Kane didn't insist, instead she kept the check.

"Great!" she replied, smiling.

"Olivia?" 

At that moment, a woman wearing a duckbill cap and sunglasses stands in front of her, throwing a leather bag on the table.

Raising her eyes slowly, she was shocked. 

Olivia is surprised to discover that it's not just anyone standing before her - it's Kate someone she's been running into for several days in a row.

"What do you want?" she asked.

"Aren't you going to check what's on the table first?" Olivia spoke in a deliberately lowered voice.

Before Olivia Blake reach for it, Vivian already opened the leather bag and couldn't help but let out a snicker. Inside were a pregnancy report and a few intimate photos of Nathaniel and her.

"What's so funny?" Kate was obviously irritated by Vivian's laughter.

"Well...don't mind me. It's just my bad habit.

  When I see disgusting things, I can't help laughing instead of feeling nauseous," Vivian continued, still giggling.

"You...?" 

Kate was too angry to speak. She turned her attention back to Olivia.

"When are you planning to divorce Nathaniel? You surely wouldn't want me to be pregnant, would you?"

"Are you sure you're pregnant?" 

Olivia cast an up-and-down glance at Kate several times. 

Ultimately, her gaze landed on Kate's towering seven-centimeter shoes, 

"Are you not afraid that your shoes might hurt your baby?"

"Olivia, you will divorce Nathaniel immediately, or I will release the child and the photos publicly. Don't blame me that I don't consider your reputation!" Kate exclaimed aggrievedly.

"No, no, don't be impulsive!" 

Olivia immediately stood up, soothing the agitated Olivia, seeing her triumphant and scornful smile, her face suddenly darkened.

 "I see you still don't know that Nathaniel is actually infertile!"

"What? How is that possible?"

 The color drained from Kate's face, and she stepped back a few steps, "You're talking nonsense!"

"Don't believe me? You wait here, I'll go home and fetch the medical report for you to see. Otherwise, why do you think I have not been pregnant for such a long time?" 

Olivia collected the photos and pregnancy test from the table and stuffed them back into Kate's hands. 

"Take these things back. If you're not afraid of being embarrassed, you can feel free to make it public. If Nathaniel acknowledges your child, that’s good. If he doesn't and you are accused of slander, then it will be trouble. The most important thing is who is the father of the child in your belly. I think all your fans would love to know!"

Kate did not expect Olivia to say such a thing. 

She stood in place for quite some time before she recovered, "This child is NathanieIs! I know you're lying to me!"

"You are not the only girl who is involved with Nathaniel. There are plenty of women out there who are with him. So don't feel important in any way." 

She continued. 

"Why has no one ever revealed they have his child?" Olivia raised an eyebrow and retorted, "If you really don't believe me, you can go ask Nathaniel himself."

"Humph!" Kate gave Olivia an angry glance, grabbed the stuff, and turned around to leave, pressing her hat brim even lower.

Vivian seemed to laugh yet not, quietly raised a thumbs up to Olivia, "Girl, such a strong heart. You could lie on the fly even facing this tricky situation. But when are you going to tell Nathaniel about that?"

"Why should I tell him? We'll soon become uninvolved. Less is better!"

 Olivia casually responded while sipping her coffee, but she didn't realize that her fingers quivered a little out of the blue. 

She knew what Vivian was referring to—it was about the fact that she had gotten pregnant two months into her marriage with Nathaniel. 

However, she had secretly gone abroad and gotten an abortion.

It was a deep voice that was warm, smooth and comforting that made her sink further into the pillows instead.Olivia was stunned, she was yet to process what the deep voice ringing in her ears. “I'm sure Nathaniel must be joking.”“Forget about work, Olivia. “Nathaniel’s breath tickled her ears once more, sending shivers down her spine. “I just want to spend the whole day with my beautiful wife without any distraction.” His arm tightened around her waist, pulling her flush against him. “I’ve missed you so much.”Olivia’s eyes snapped open. Her heart hammered against her ribs, Missed her? Beautiful wife? Her mind replayed his words, searching for a hidden meaning but couldn't find. It felt too good to be true. This cannot be Nathaniel, it'd be a random joke. “What?!” The word burst from her, a breathless whisper of disbelief. Her bo

    The strange ceiling above him was the first thing Nathaniel saw. His eyes opened and closed, attempting to adjust to the soft morning light. He lay motionless, attempting to understand his surroundings. His eyes darted from one thing to the other in the room, examining the mirror, wardrobe door, ceiling, and makeup on the dresser. It was all unfamiliar. He sat up slowly, the sheets falling away from his bare chest. His shirt was lying on the floor, partially stained in what looked like alcohol. His eyes widened, lips parted in shock. Still trying to get a glimpse of what was really happening. Where the hell am I? How do I get here?The last memory he could grasp was clinking glasses with a stranger in a bar. Before he could piece together another thought, the bathroom door clicked open. Steam rolled into the room, followed by the sharp scent of citrus soap. Then came Kate, wrapped in a towel, her red lipstick fresh, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction.“Good morning, my love.” Her

Thousands of thoughts flowed in her mind, but she didn't have time to dwell on them as she quickly grabbed her bag and stormed out of the Cross mansion.Before she could reach outside, he was already gone.

She quickly took out her phone and ordered a cab.Luckily, one showed up just two minutes later. Without wasting time, she hurriedly opened the back door and slipped in.“Hello, please drive as fast as you can because I must be at Cross Enterprises in the next five minutes.”“Five minutes?” the driver asked, looking back at her in shock.Olivia stayed silent, and without another word, he turned back and started the engine. The car sped forward at such a high speed, it felt as though it were soaring through the air.Olivia held tightly to her seat as buildings and

    Kelvin had thought Nathaniel found out about the divorce, and Olivia backed off because Nathaniel must have threatened her.Kelvin had hoped to help Olivia escape Nathaniel’s hold, but his heart sank when he unexpectedly received a text from her saying she could no longer go through with the divorce.“You threatened her because she wanted to divorce you. Olivia deserves so much more than a pathetic woman abuser like you. You’re nothing but a disgrace, and I’ll make damn sure she escapes your toxic grip for good.” Kelvin said angrily, his eyes burning with anger.Nathaniel replied coldly, “Divorce?" He was shocked to find out that Olivia was planning to divorce him, and that made him more furious. But he quickly masks it, saying, "I didn’t realise Olivia’s little errand boy had such a mouth.”Kelvin smirked, “She is not meant for your type, Nathaniel. Do you know who you really deserve? You deserve a crazy being like you. She gave you her heart, but you shattered it. She told me she r

  • In Love with Mr. Ruthless   Chapter 16: The battle line

    Olivia was shocked. She wondered how Nathaniel got to know she was on birth control pills. Has he found out where the pills are usually kept? Several thoughts drifted through her mind. Confusion could be visibly seen on her face.“Oh, you wondered how I got to know you are using pills? Well, even if I'm silent, just know that I know you well and I know each of your moves and every step you plan to take.”Olivia remained silent. Still looking confused.Nathaniel brought out his phone. “Well, I can see how confused you are. Nathaniel swiftly brought out his phone and pressed it for a few seconds before handing it over to Olivia.“Have it.” She received it.It was a video of Olivia, who was captured while using her birth control pills through a CCTV camera that was secretly placed in her room by Nathaniel.As she was watching the footage, her hands trembled. She was shocked. She looked at Nathaniel in disbelief.“Have you been invading my privacy by setting a CCTV camera in my room wi

    Olivia is inwardly thrilled when Nathaniel sits beside her and says, “Let’s start over. I want us to be a real family.”She was shocked at first; she looked at Nathaniel straight in the eye to see if truly those words came directly from him.“Nathaniel, are you kidding me right now, or do you just want to play with my emotions? Because right now I'm not ready for further heartbreak.”“Baby, I meant every word I said, and I’m not going to take any of it back. I want a real family with you from now and I promise to be a better husband to you and a loving father to our unborn child.” He planted a soft kiss on her lips.The soft kiss sent a chill down her spine, and she even wanted more. The joy she felt inwardly could not be quantified. To her, the sudden change of everything seemed surreal. She felt her heart swell with hope, thinking maybe last night meant something.“Give me a few minutes; I will be right back.”Nathaniel went to his bedroom and came back with a brown envelope. He ope
