That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Chapter 228: Just an Excuse



“I didn’t ask for your help.”

After a moment, Olivia spoke calmly, her tone still distant.

Victor’s brow furrowed slightly, his eyes filled with displeasure. “Really? If I hadn’t stepped in, what were you planning to do?”

Olivia lowered her gaze. “I’m a doctor; naturally, I have my own ways.”

Having studied acupuncture for many years, Olivia knew exactly which points could instantly disable someone without causing fatal harm.

If that man had come any closer, she wouldn’t have hesitated to show him the difference between their skills as doctors.

However, before she could act, Victor had appeared.

Victor understood the implication of her words.

Earlier, when Olivia was performing acupuncture on Liam, he had observed her knowledge of human acupoints.

Thus, Olivia indeed had the ability to protect herself just now.

Realizing this, Victor felt a strange sense of relief.

But seeing the indifferent face in front of him, Victor still felt displeased. “So, Miss Prescott thinks I’m meddling in her affairs?”

Olivia remained silent, looking at him with a calm expression.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Though she said nothing, her expression clearly conveyed her thoughts.

This was the first time Victor had encountered such a situation-helping someone only to be told he was meddling.

“Regardless, I did help you.”

Olivia didn’t want to waste any more time. Hearing this, she frowned and perfunctorily thanked him. “Thank you, Mr. Leer. I really should be going back now. Since you’re here on business, there must be others waiting for you. You should hurry back too.”

With that, she nodded at Victor and turned to head back to her room.

She had just taken a step when her wrist was grabbed.

Perhaps it was the alcohol, but Olivia felt every subtle emotion within her magnified.

Noticing Victor’s action, the spark of anger within her ignited.

Olivia frowned sharply and looked angrily at Victor. “What exactly do you want? I’ve already thanked you. What more do you want from me?”

Six years ago, she had been infatuated with Victor but was deeply hurt.

Now that she had resolved to sever ties with him, he kept entangling her!

Olivia couldn’t fathom his intentions and didn’t want to guess anymore. She just wanted to minimize contact with him.

But Victor wouldn’t let her have her way!

Victor himself didn’t know what came over him. By the time he realized it, he was already holding a slender wrist.

Seeing Olivia’s angry expression, he frowned slightly. “Is this how you treat someone who helped you? What’s so urgent that you’re rushing back? Is there someone important waiting for you at the table?”

Olivia found him unreasonable. “Whoever it is has nothing to do with you. Let go of me!”

Victor’s grip tightened suddenly.

Olivia winced in pain, her expression changing.

Victor didn’t miss the change in her expression but didn’t loosen his grip. Instead, he stepped closer to Olivia.

Olivia’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she tensed up.

Victor let out an ambiguous chuckle, his oppressive gaze fixed on Olivia’s face. “Even if Miss Prescott thinks I’m meddling and doesn’t want to thank me, I left my client waiting in the room because of you. This business deal is probably ruined. How does Miss Prescott plan to compensate me for that?”

Hearing this, Olivia frowned and met his gaze.

She didn’t believe anyone would dare disrespect the Leer family.

This was just an excuse from Victor.

But since he said it, Olivia didn’t want to owe him any inexplicable favors either.
