The Beginning Of All Sins novel (Olivia and Tyler)
Chapter 448

"Jacob!" Sophie called as she walked toward him. They exchanged a glance and got into the car.

"So, what did he say to you?" Sophie asked.

Jacob remembered how Claude looked when he brought up Olivia and frowned slightly. But then he quickly smiled. "Your brother is a really nice guy. He's gentle and treats me well." "Of course he is. Claude is the best."

"He didn't seem like the sort of guy the media made him out to be. He couldn't have possibly done those things to Morgan Harris," Jacob blurted out.

"No way! That's all horse crap!" Sophie responded with frustration. "Someone must have set him up! No one really knows what happened that night... not even my brother."

Jacob paused for a second. "That aside, Claude also... asked about Olivia."

Sophie stared at him intensely. Jacob could feel the intensity of her gaze and took her hand. "Look, Soof, I even took you to meet my parents! There's no way I still have feelings for her. It's just... Claude. I think he might, you know—"

"Claude likes her," Sophie cut in.

Jacob was silent for a few seconds.

"To be honest, I wouldn't mind if Olivia became part of my family. If only she wasn't already married into the Harris family..." Sophie said thoughtfully.

Jacob's expression darkened a little.

"Anyway, you can't meet Olivia anymore, Jacob! Not even as a friend!" Sophie stated aloud. "Because Claude is, well, interested in her."

It was both a reminder and a warning. Between those lines, though, was Sophie's own hidden worry.

Jacob smiled. "What are you talking about? Why would I try to meet her?"

He looked deeply into her eyes, and she hugged him tightly.

Jacob drove with one arm around her.

After eating, Tyler and his assistant left the hotel.

Linda started, "Should we watch Claude's friend more closely?" She was talking about Lionel Simmons.

"Yes. Keep a close watch. I don't want any surprises."

"Understood."

Tyler hummed as he got into his car.

"Ms. Naomi wants you to visit her this afternoon," Linda mentioned.

Tyler thought for a moment before replying, "Alright."

"She also said she wants a bouquet of irises."

Tyler paused for a second. "We'll pick one up on our way."

"Understood."

They headed toward the hospital.
