That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

It took nearly half an hour before Harold’s call finally came through.

Olivia answered the phone almost immediately as it lit up, asking anxiously, “Senior, how did it go?”

Harold’s voice sounded somewhat grave. “Everything was going well, but as soon as I mentioned your research institute, their attitude completely changed.”

Upon hearing this, Olivia’s eyes dimmed, and a bitter smile tugged at her lips. “I understand. Thank you for your help. Please don’t get involved in this matter anymore, I’ll find a way to resolve it myself.”

She was worried that if Harold continued to help her, he would attract unwanted attention and become a target as well.

Just as she finished speaking, Harold suddenly asked, “What’s going on between you and Mr. Leer? Is he behind this?”

Olivia was taken aback.

Victor? What reason would he have to do this?

Moreover, how did Harold come to this conclusion?

With these thoughts in mind, Olivia asked, “Why do you say that? What does this have to do with Victor?”

Harold frowned. “You must have noticed that someone is targeting you behind the scenes.”

Olivia responded, “I know, but… I can’t think of a reason why Victor would do this.”

“I inquired about it. It’s Leer’s Group that has secretly issued ultimatums to all major herbal suppliers in Seacrest. Anyone who dares to cooperate with you is opposing Leer’s Group,” Harold replied solemnly.

Hearing this, a look of shock flashed across Olivia’s eyes.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Beside her, Gabriel also heard the conversation and furrowed his brows tightly.

Leer’s Group? When did they get entangled with Leer’s Group?

No, more accurately, when did Olivia get involved with Leer’s Group to the extent that they would go to such lengths to deal with her?

Gabriel suddenly recalled Emma from before.

To this day, he still didn’t know what kind of grudge existed between Olivia and that woman, causing her to target them so intensely.

If he remembered correctly, Miss Thornton was Victor’s publicly acknowledged fiancee. Could it be that Mr. Leer was acting out of anger for her?

That didn’t make sense. If that were the case, they wouldn’t have had any chance to catch their breath.

Gabriel was utterly perplexed.

Olivia, however, had a vague suspicion and softly explained to Harold, “No, it’s not Victor.”

Harold’s expression remained serious. “Then who could it be?”

“It’s not important,” Olivia said bitterly, lowering her eyes. “Senior, please don’t get involved in this matter anymore. It’s a personal issue of mine. I’ve already implicated the research institute and feel very guilty about it. I don’t want it to affect you as well.”

Harold was silent for a few seconds before confirming with her, “So you know who’s behind this? I won’t interfere, but you need to tell me if they will harm you.”

Olivia thought for a few seconds and then answered seriously, “They probably just want to drive me out of Seacrest, so they’re targeting the research institute. Don’t worry, at worst, I’ll leave. Once I’m gone, the situation at the institute will naturally improve.”

Harold frowned but eventually agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Olivia’s mind conjured up the image of Lily’s expressionless face.

Apart from her, there was no one else in Leer’s Group who would target her like this.

Knowing the truth, Olivia furrowed her brows tightly.

What had happened behind the scenes during this time? Why did Lily suddenly take action?
