Chapter 158

“Do you realize what you’re doing?” Noah’s hands were hesitantly hovering around Olivia’s waist.

Olivia said softly. “Noah, what happened before was all my fault. I apologize. I know it was wrong. But now, I’m not your nominal sister anymore, so of

course we can…

Olivia paused meaningfully,

“Noah, as long as you don’t mind me, I’m willing to follow you around without a title,” Olivia said softly

Olivia nestled into Noah’s arms like a frightened bird. She had no one else to rely on and felt so insecure that she lowered herself to Noah, almost like a

desperate supplicant.

Noah was already aroused. He didn’t want to waste any more time talking to Olivia. He bent his head to kiss her, but suddenly there was a knock at the

door.

Noah paused, ready to scold, but the knock quickly turned into a loud bang the next second.

Gabriel kicked the door open and walked in with a gloomy face and immediately saw the scene in front of him. Olivia immediately stood up as if Noah had p**d her with a thorn, her face pale.

Gabriel must be here to take her away for Ginal Olivia wanted to run so badly now, but she couldn’t.

So she hid behind Noah.

Noah blushed in embarrassment and smiled nervously. “Mr. Jackson, what brings you here.

“You! Come with me,” Gabriel commanded, his eyes icy as he looked at Olivia.

Olivia shook her head desperately. “Mr. Jackson, why would I go with you?”

“Cole contacted you, didn’t he?” Gabriel asked coldly.

Olivia denied it. “No!”

“Then why did you panic and try to run away? Wasn’t it because he informed you and told you to escape?” Gabriel said.

“No, it really wasn’t! Mr. Jackson, I don’t recognize him as my real father. I don’t have a murderer for a father, and anything he does has nothing to do with me!” Olivia said.

“I don’t want to say it a second time,” Gabriel said, his face grim.

Olivia tugged on Noah’s sleeve. “Noah, Noah! Help me!”

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Noah’s forehead. He couldn’t afford to offend Gabriel for Olivia’s sake. After a moment of struggle, Noah said to Olivia, “Mr. Jackson told you to go, so just go.”

Olivia looked at Noah incredulously, as if the intimacy they had just shared was nonexistent. Noah treated her as if she were insignificant.

“Neah! You don’t want me anymore? Are you abandoning mo? You won’t protect me anymore?” Olivia’s voice was incredulous and a little h**e.

Noah was so nervous he couldn’t breathe. The office door had been kicked in by Gabriel, and he couldn’t utter a word, let alone stop Gabriel from taking

I never promised to protect you,” Noah said dryly, breaking down.

Olivia froze. She knew it. None of these men could be trusted. Noah was just a coward!

er than the last?

Why was it that every man she had ever been with was more of a loser

Ethan was a loser, and Noah was a

coward.

And Gina found a great guy like Gabriell

Why?

Gina had got nothing on her!

Olivia’s

indignation and resentment were so great that she said with a sneer, “Fine, Mr. Jackson, I’ll go with you!”

She took a few steps, then turned back to Noah and cursed, “Useless coward!”

Noah instantly became angry. Wasn’t she the one who had just been in his arms, calling him petulantly and intimately? How dare Olivia humiliate him like this, as if she’s a different person?

“Olivia, you’re looking for a fight!” Noah pointed at Olivia and scolded her.

Olivia gave him a disdainful look. She knew that even if Noah had ten times the guts, he wouldn’t dare stop Gabriel from taking her. Emboldened, she stared at Noah, her contempt on full display.

In the unfinished buildings in the eastern suburbs.

In a field of unfinished buildings, Gina weaved in and out. Cole, teasing her, refused to tell her exactly which building they were in, so Gina had to search one building at a time.

Luckily, she soon found it.

Ruby was tied up and placed on the ground by Cole.

Gina anxiously looked at Ruby. She didn’t see any injuries or blood, no signs of abuse. Her overly fast heartbeat slowly calmed down.

She looked up at Cole, the anger in her eyes like fire.

“You didn’t call the police, did you, Miss Miller? If you did, I’ll make sure she goes to hell with me,” Cole said, pointing a gun at Ruby-

Ruby saw Gina and tears welled up in her eyes. “Gina, leave me alone, go.”

“Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? There’s no way a daughter would abandon her mother!” Gina said.

Ruby heard this and instantly broke down in tears. “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault to drag you into this.”

Cole felt inexplicably offended by their mother-daughter bond and couldn’t help but sneer, saying, “Alright, you guys don’t need to act like this in front of me. There’s no blood relationship between you at all, and she didn’t raise you from a young age. What kind of affection can there be?”

“Well, you did secretly raise your daughter for a few years, but I don’t see her having feelings for you either.” Gabriel approached them with a bound

Chapter 159

Cole’s heart broke at the sight of a devastated Olivia. “Olivial”

“F**k off! Shut the f**k up, you f**k! Let Ruby go. I’ve been screwed over by you, you know that? I had nothing to do with what you did, and now I’m stuck with you. I hate you! I hate you!” Olivia shouted

Then she turned to Gina and said, “Gina, no, Miss Miller, I really didn’t know he would lose his mind, break out of prison, and do something like this. It had nothing to do with me at all. Please don’t hurt me!”

Olivia couldn’t maintain her composure and cried her eyes out.

Cole looked at Olivia, who was trying to disassociate herself from him as usual, feeling a pang in his heart. Gabriel was right. Despite his years of companionship, Olivia had never accepted him as her father. But it was his childhood abandonment that offended Olivia, so Cole never complained in the face of her grievances. “This really has nothing to do with Olivia. I did this all. I did it because I wanted to give Olivia a better life.”

Olivia desperately tried to explain, “Gina, you heard that, right? None of this had anything to do with me!”

“It’s useless to threaten him with me. He abandoned me after I was born, and when I grew up, he came back to me, pretending to be caring and considerate. He only came to me because he was worried he wouldn’t have anyone to take care of him in his old age!” Olivia spoke from her heart.

Cole laughed bitterly to himself. He had been abandoned by the organization! This time, he no longer had a way to live, so what was the point of worrying about old age?
