Chapter 16
It was all no sooner said than done. Olivia stopped and turned to smile at Vincent. Then, she grabbed
hold oft’s wrist and threw him over her shoulder.
The crowd instantly burst into a frenzy.
They mused, “She is tougher than most trained veterans.”
After that, Olivia swept the dust off her hands and made a disgusted expression as if the mere sight of
the man was enough to sicken her.
Kimberly rushed to the Royal Club as soon as she was done with work. She did not. expect to witness
such a shocking scene right after she arrived at the place. Someone taught her suave and flirtatious
older brother a lesson in his own territory.
When Kimberly took a closer look at the woman’s side profile, she thought, “Oh my G od! Isn’t that
Ollic?”
As she stared at the two gorgeous-looking people in front of her, her lips curled into a faint smile. She
was not expecting their first meeting to be so interesting and unique.
Kimberly tried to hold back her laughter when she saw what a mess her brother had. become.
When she gave the situation a second thought, she realized everything was rather fateful, and
something might spark between the two in the future.
Upon noticing Olivia was about to leave, Kimberly hurriedly called out to her, “Olivia!”
Vincent’s head shot up in shock when he heard the familiar voice. He then saw Kimberly walking
toward the woman who had just beaten him up and was instantly. shocked.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at them closely, thinking his eyes were playing tricks on him. “I’m not
seeing things. I didn’t hurt my brain or anything after that shoulder throw,” he mused.
Vincent finally came to a realization that his sister’s friend had beaten him up.
Meanwhile, Kimberly stood in front of Olivia, pointed at Vincent, and asked, “What did my older brother
do to anger you?”
When Olivia heard Kimberly refer to the man as her older brother, she instantly knew that the man was
none other than Vincent Sullivan, whom she had an appointment with that night. Furthermore, he was
also her future sponsor.
Kimberly did not wait for a reply from her friend and walked toward Vincent with Olivia in tow. She was
trying her best to hold back her laughter from seeing how pathetic her brother looked, but it was
extremely grueling to do so. It was all too hilarious for her..
“Vincent, this is my best friend, Olivia, and she’s your lucky star. It looks like you two had a special first
meeting earlier.”
Her tone was laced with delight.
Vincent continued to stare at Kimberly with disbelief as they made their way toward the private room.
He intentionally walked behind the two women and pulled Kimberly back, mouthing to her, “Are you
sure she’s Inferno?”
He had to admit that Olivia had given him too much of a shock today.
Until now, his head was still buzzing.
Then again, Vincent recalled hearing that Inferno was no ordinary bloke, and he got to witness it in
person today.
In the past, he scoured the earth for Inferno, but his efforts were in vain as not a single. shred of
information regarding the mysterious Inferno turned up.
Levine Group had Earna. If the Sullivan family could not find Inferno, there was no way they could win.
“Kimberly is truly my lucky star. She brought me Inferno at such a crucial moment. I have to take this
opportunity and utilize it fully!” he mused.
Vincent picked up a glass of wine and turned to Olivia. He recomposed himself and said, “Ms. Salter,
here’s to you. I apologize for my rudeness just now. Cheers!”
Kimberly observed the scene quietly. One was her best friend with whom she could. share every
secret, and the other was her elder brother, who doted on her. However, she found the two were
behaving incredibly awkwardly toward one another.
She could not stand watching the scene anymore and thought, “They are wasting all their time being
courteous with each other. If this continues, we can’t discuss anything by tonight, let alone get any
progress done!”
Attempting to smooth things over, she took matters into her own hands and cut
straight to the chase, saying, “I believe the conflict will lead you two to become friends.
Let’s not brood over the matter anymore and go straight to the topic.
The atmosphere became much more relaxed after Kimberly said that.
“The conflict with Levine Group has been going on for many years. The biggest
concern is the division of interest.” Vincent appeared nothing like the flirtatious ladies” man carlier and
seemed much more like a CEO.
He told Olivia everything about the case in brief.
Olivia stared at Vincent’s serious expression and thought, “I shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. This
little rascal has become a domineering CEO in the blink of an eye.”
Though she was lost in her thoughts for a moment, she quickly recomposed herself and was soon
immersed in the details of the case. From time to time, she would also raise some questions to obtain
more information.
In the end, Vincent and Olivia exchanged contact details with one another. “Our legal team will get in
touch with more information, Ms. Salter,” the former said.
Now that Kimberly was pregnant, she had the final say.
She had to go home and rest as soon as it was time. Thus, the other two had to match. her schedule.
Olivia had just moved to Dellmoor, so she was temporarily staying in the Larson residence. However,
Kimberly intended to let her best friend stay for good as William and the rest were going to move out
the next day,
However, Olivia got used to staying alone and wished to move out once her place was ready for her.
On their way back to the Larson residence, Kimberly, who said she was sleepy earlier, perked up and
started to joke with Olivia.
“You two are treasures. You’ve both given me a lot of surprises tonight. According to my observation
throughout the night, I can tell that the story between you two will definitely be very interesting,” she
said while giggling non-stop.
Olivia poked her and replied, “I know you enjoy making fun of me. None of these awkward incidents
would happen if you didn’t stand me up and let me go to the venue
alone.”
Kimberly kept chuckling, and the fascinating shoulder throw replayed in her mind.
Naturally, she knew Olivia was a capable fighter who could hold her own against men.
Not only that, but Olivia was also a capable lawyer. The two of them would use the alias ‘Inferno’ to
hunt for treasure within the industry. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“What do you think? Are you confident with the case?” asked Kimberly casually.
58%/
“I only know the gist of it. I have to talk to their legal team and get to know the case better before I can
come to a conclusion,” Olivia explained.
She paused for a moment and added, “No matter how good Earna is, I still have you as my advisor!”
The two women exchanged glances and smiled.
Olivia was extremely pleased and relieved upon seeing how confident and capable Kimberly had
become. She was no longer Katherine who only lived for others.
“Vincent might act like a typical rich kid from a prestigious family, but he treats Kimberly well,” Olivia
thought.
However, her eyes were clouded with concern when she thought of Kimberly’s pregnancy.
Olivia could not help voicing her concern. “‘Christopher probably doesn’t know of your new identity yet,
but I’m sure he’s relentlessly looking for you. If he finds out you’re pregnant with his child, the
consequences will be disastrous.”
Much to her surprise, Kimberly’s words calmed her anxiety. “Ever since I left Norham, Katherine
Xander no longer exists in this world. Kimberly Larson will only live for herself and the people who care
for her. So what if he finds out about my new identity? He can’t possibly take my child away from me.””
Olivia knew that no woman would want to live such an independent and lonely life if they had a choice.
The only reason why Kimberly became so brave and strong was that Katherine was so fragile and
pitiful.
Upon hearing how determined Kimberly sounded, Olivia could not help giving her. best friend a warm
hug.
