Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife
Chapter 871

Chapter 871

Olivia was a little shocked. She thought it would be a happy ending, yet it ended... pathetically.

Instead of answering her question, Milo put a sugar cube in Olivia's coffee and said, "I made up the rest of the story. The story of the father and son has not ended yet." Olivia was in a puzzle. "Why did you tell me this story?"

"I just happened to feel a little emotional upon hearing it. Why does the son hate his father so much? I wouldn't know what to do if my son also hated me like that."

"I don't think the story would end like how you think, sir. Maybe the son will realize his father loves him, and their misunderstanding will be resolved."

Milo lifted his eyebrows. "Do you really think so?"

Olivia nodded. "I prefer my version of the story over your guess. No conflict can't be resolved between a father and son unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless..." Olivia gulped and said, "Unless the father killed the son's mother, and the son happened to see it.

Otherwise, why would he hate his father so much that he kept his father imprisoned?"

Milo's gaze changed, and he snorted coldly. "That depends on what the son thinks."

"I think it also depends on how the father deals with it."

"Oh?"

Milo stared at Olivia sharply, but Olivia was looking at the sea and did not notice.

"Relationships are mutual, not one-sided, right? Even if the son is determined to make things work with his father, Rome wasn't built in a day, and the father will never be on good terms with his son again until he gives in."

Then, Olivia looked at Milo. "I still think there's something strange about the story you told me."

Although she said so, she had someone in mind: Zac.

'Is Mr. M trying to tell her about Zac and Jimmy?

'Leading me to make a conclusion?'

Milo looked at her for a few seconds before laughing. "Ms. James, you are a kind person indeed."

Suddenly, Olivia asked, "Sir, the last time you called me, you said John was unreliable. Why do you say so?" Milo tapped his forefinger on the desk. "Ms. James, have you met Mr. Freeman's parents or other family members?"

Olivia's heart skipped a beat, and she said nothing.

'The son in the story was scary enough, wasn't he?"

As he spoke, he looked up at her coldly. "A man without any family background will be scarier."

However, Milo did not say much more. It was as if he had deliberately set up a situation to make Olivia doubt John.

"It's getting late. Do you have time to have dinner with me?"

Olivia shook her head. "Not today. Someone in my house is ill, and I must go back and check on them."

"Okay. Let's talk again some other day."

When Milo got into the car, he looked at Olivia through the window and could not help but hook his lips up.

As expected, this girl was the perfect person to start with.

After Milo left, Olivia was still sitting there, feeling worse.

So many emotions rushed up inside her, but she had no place to vent and no place to keep them.

The more she thought, the more the story sounded like Zac and Jimmy's. It would not be good if the story ended like Milo's ending.

Humans could easily wake up the demons in others.

Even though she felt that Jimmy and John were unscrupulous people who would do anything to get something, she did not want to see Zac becoming a monster trying to get revenge. Either way, Jimmy was Zac's father, and if Zac really did that, he would be unfilial.

However, she could not do anything.

Now, she and Zac could never go back to how they were before, and she might not be able to care about the Quinton family's matters anymore.

She looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.

It would have all been great if she did not replace the letter. She could be frank with Zac and expose his poor acting. Then, she could hand Mr. M's shares to him. However, now... it was too late.
