Chapter 10 Have to Find a Man

The bell rang, and a teacher

walked into the classroom.

She stepped onto the platform and said with a

smile on her face,

“Congratulations to Rosa

Hall for obtaining

recognition from Southern Group and securing an internship offer from them.‘

As soon as the teacher’s

words fell, thunderous

applause erupted.

Rosa couldn’t hide her pride

and smiled.

*****

Grace couldn’t help but

sneer and said, “This is

ridiculous.”

Olivia gently patted her hand and whispered, “Let it go, it’s not worth it.”

The teacher continued, “For

those who haven’t found an

internship yet, please pay

attention. The school will

start collecting information

soon.”

Grace cautiously tugged at

the hem of Olivia’s clothes

and whispered, “Olivia, how about interning at Hunt Group? My family’s

company isn’t big, but it should be able to offer you

an internship.”

“That’s okay. You don’t have to worry about me,” Olivia replied.

Olivia understood that Grace

wasn’t her father’s biological

daughter and their family

situation was complicated.

Therefore, she really didn’t

want to trouble her.

Olivia had been doing well

in school, but recently, right after passing interviews with a few companies, she was

always told later that her

offers were withdrawn.

Their unified response was always that they had found

someone more suitable.

This made Olivia suspect

that someone was

deliberately targeting her. Otherwise, things wouldn’t turn out the way it did.

During the day, Olivia went to the hospital to accompany her mother. Since learning

about her father’s new

family, her mother’s mood had been getting worse.

Olivia was worried that her

mother might do something irrational, so whenever she had time during the day, she would go to the hospital to

be with her.

Something had come up at home for Grace for the past

couple of days, so she hadn’t

moved to the house they rented together.

One day, Olivia dragged her exhausted body back to her

apartment and made some

instant noodles.

Before she could start eating,

she heard a commotion

outside the door.

At first, she thought it was Grace returning and didn’t pay much attention to it.

But upon closer listening,

she became suspicious. It

sounded like someone was

trying to break in.

She cautiously walked over

and locked the door from

the inside.

“Why can’t I open this door? Is this the right room

number?”

It was a strange man’s voice

outside the door.

Hearing this, Olivia was

scared and decided not to

make a sound.

She hurried to the bedroom,

took out her phone, and

called Oliver.

She called several times in a

row, but no one answered.

Olivia pleaded, “Oliver,

please pick up…”

At the Adams villa, a banquet

was in progress.

Oliver went to the restroom,

leaving his phone on the table with the screen lit up.

Alex casually glanced at it

and saw the name on the

screen, [Olivia.]

He thought, ‘Is this the Olivia that I know? Why is

she calling Oliver at this late

hour for?‘

With this thought in mind, Alex pressed the answer

button with a stern face.

“Oliver, can you come over?

I’m scared…”

From the other end of the

phone came a panicked

voice from Olivia.

In Olivia’s heart, the only

person she could rely on in this world was Oliver.

“Olivia, Oliver is already engaged now. It’s not appropriate for you to call

him like this!”

A cold and deep voice came from the phone, making Olivia so frightened that she almost dropped her phone.

She trembled as she said, “Mr. Tres, why are you there?”

Before she could finish her

sentence, Alex hung up the phone with disgust.

Olivia’s heart sank instantly. She tried to call the police,

but her phone had lost signal at the time.

She could only repeatedly

make video calls to Alex.

When Alex answered the

call, he was furious. “Olivia, why do you have to replace a man to entertain you?”

*****

At the other end of the

phone, a stranger’s voice

suddenly came, “This is the

right room, why can’t we open the door? Did she lock the door from inside? Just wait. After I open the door, I

am going to show you what I

got…”

Upon hearing this, Alex clenched his hand holding the phone subconsciously,

his face turned serious as he

asked, “Where are you? Share your location with

me.”

Hearing Alex’s words, Olivia

felt a bit relieved.

But the sound of the door being tampered with from

outside grew louder.

Trembling, she shared her

location with Alex.

She lived in an old and

dilapidated neighborhood.

The signal reception here

was not ideal.

Olivia anxiously watched her

phone signal, feeling

extremely anxious as she

watched the person outside attempting to force the door

open.

Her small body curled up on the sofa, trembling

incessantly.

With a bang, the door of the

apartment was kicked open,

and a tall person walked in.

Olivia held her phone

tightly. After seeing that it

was Mica, she was able to

calm down a bit.

“Olivia, what’s going on? Why are you here?” Alex’s face was stern as he looked

around the shabby rental place Olivia had leased, pulling his tie forcefully, exuding a chilling aura.

The door of the apartment

was left in ruins by him.

Milo grabbed the two

suspicious men outside and

moved them to the living

room.

Listening to the men’s furious roar, Olivia’s face

turned pale. Her eyes turned

red with tears swirling in her

eyes.

If she had known this would

happen, there was no way

that she would rent an

apartment here.

Alex snatched her phone and

pinned his own phone

number and WhatsApp

account on her phone, then

said coldly, “In the future,

call me immediately if you

run into any trouble, don’t

bother Oliver.”

Hearing this, Olivia’s body trembled violently.

She thought, ‘That’s right, I

can’t call Oliver now. He is

already engaged. It will be inappropriate for me to call

him.‘

Suddenly, a wave of fear surged through her heart.

“No, don’t come near me…”

Olivia looked at Alex in

extreme fear.

The scene just now brought Olivia’s thoughts back to when she was a sophomore in high school.

At that time, she was afraid

of her brother, Ted, so she

had to lock the door from

the inside every night before going to sleep.

This situation continued

until she went to college and left the Hall family.

The reason she chose to rent

an apartment and move out was also to escape from Ted.

Seeing her like this, Alex’s

stern face softened slightly.

He asked in a low voice,

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing.”

Her small face was pale as tears streaming down her cheeks. Olivia looked pitiful like a frightened little rabbit. She said with a choked voice, “Mr. Tres, thank you very much for rushing over.”

Alex observed her

expression and felt a strange

sense of annoyance in his

heart.

Olivia followed behind Alex

as he walked to the living

room.

Henry and a stranger were kneeling on the ground in the living room.

Seeing this, Olivia suddenly

stopped in her tracks,

“Henry, why are you here?”

Her eyes were filled with

surprise and disbelief.

Half of Henry’s face was

swollen.

It seemed that he had just

been beaten up.

“Olivia, I can explain. This is

all a misunderstanding…”
