I’m Someone Else

Chapter 104

What sort of request was Thomas asking for? He was being too cruel!

Terrence couldn’t just sit by and accept the fact that someone had just threatened to cripple his grandson in front of him!

Terrence wasn’t an ordinary man. Just like Blake of the Hind Family, he had learned martial arts since young, and he was also a skilled fighter in Irieson in his youth. Later on, when he grew older, he gradually left the public scene and passed the position as the head of the family to Norman, retiring behind the scenes.

However, this didn’t mean that he was without a temper.

Just as Terrence was about to teach the arrogant youth a lesson, Norman reached out and tugged at Terrence, shaking his head at the latter.

It was only then Terrence remembered that Thomas wasn’t a nice person either. He once sent Blake flying with just a punch, after all! No matter how skilled Terrence was, he couldn’t win against Blake, much less Thomas. It was only then that Terrence took a deep breath to suppress the rage in his heart.

Norman spoke up. “Thomas, we were at least acquaintances in the past. Moreover, this incident is a family matter concerning the Pearsons, so I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for an outsider like you to intervene.”

“An outsider, you say?” Thomas puffed out a ring of smoke. “Well, since Olivia has already left the Pearson Family, I hereby adopt her as my sister. My sister was bullied, so as her brother, there’s nothing wrong with me standing up for her, right? I’ll give you half an hour. If I don’t see Gavin by then, I’m afraid your son will become a cripple. I’ve already given you a chance, after all.”

“You’re being unreasonable!”

Norman was completely furious now. He was the head of the Pearsons, and he was already being very nice to Thomas, but what did he get in return? How could Thomas threaten him?!

Thomas sneered. If he was unreasonable, what did that make Norman? Norman believed in his son unconditionally, and he even treated his biological daughter like a sacrifice, giving her away like that. What sort of father was he? What point was there reasoning with a biased and rotten father like Norman?

Thomas played nice with Norman only because of Olivia. If Norman weren’t Olivia’s biological father, Thomas would’ve killed him before wasting his breath on the man!

Who did Norman think he was?

“Norman, I never had much of a friendship with you, nor am I obliged to reason with you. Anyway, I’ve already given you two choices, and it’s the best I can do. It’s your call now.”

Norman’s chest suddenly heaved. Thomas was too arrogant and willful. If he knew that things would turn out like this, he wouldn’t have allowed Thomas to join the Pearson Group and become Olivia’s driver. What was he supposed to do now? Did he have no choice but to get Gavin here and have Thomas deal with Gavin as he wished?

No way! Thomas even killed Drake, so if Gavin came here, Norman didn’t dare imagine what Gavin would have to go through!

Terrence stood at the side with a dark look on his face. Likewise, he didn’t have a good solution, and he couldn’t win against Thomas in a fight. If he could, he would’ve done it already!

“Young man, just forget this ever happened. After all, Olivia is fine now.” Harrison spoke up. The Pearsons were powerful, and it wasn’t a good thing to turn against them. Thomas might gain an upper hand for now, but if the Pearsons attacked him in return, he would be in trouble too.

A young man like Thomas couldn’t challenge the sheer power of the Pearsons just like that.

“‘She’s fine, you say?’ It’d be too late if she’s not!” Thomas’ eyes were filled with burning rage. Who did Harrison think he was? Thomas didn’t even know him! An old man like him should just stand by and watch the show. If Thomas was provoked any further, he would send Harrison to hell right away!

“You—” Harrison never thought that Thomas would be so rude to him. He had tried to coax Thomas for the latter’s good, after all.

Thomas took a puff. “You have 20 minutes left.”

He wasn’t so patient that he would waste time on Norman here. He couldn’t just forget about the fact that Olivia was hurt, not even if it involved Norman’s biological son!

What sort of beast was Gavin? He forced Olivia to put on sexy underwear without any warning, and when Olivia resisted, he started kicking her!

Norman and Terrence panicked. What should they do? Thomas was serious about it. Gavin mustn’t come, or he might lose his life!

“Olivia, please convince Thomas to let this matter go, eh?”

Thomas glanced at Norman in disdain. He never thought that Norman was shameless enough to beg Olivia for mercy!

Meanwhile, Olivia was in a dilemma. It was true that she hated Gavin, but her biological father had reached out to her. What should she do? The blood of the Pearsons was still running in her veins! If she declined her father’s request, she probably wouldn’t have anything to do with her father for the rest of their lives.

However, if she didn’t decline, Thomas would’ve done everything in vain. Thomas would be hurt!

No, she shouldn’t speak up for the Pearsons!

“Thomas, just deal with it as you wish. I’m not interfering!”

Thomas smiled and nodded. He was glad that Olivia didn’t disappoint him.

He could feel that Olivia had already completely given up on the Pearsons. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

If Olivia decided to pardon them, Thomas had no reason to pursue the matter. Fortunately, she didn’t explicitly reject Norman’s request. Instead, she gave Thomas the right to decide. It was a wise decision, for she avoided direct conflict with her biological father.

Norman and his father were stunned. What did Olivia mean by that? Gavin was her brother, so even if he hurt her, that was the Pearsons’ business. Why would Olivia ask an outsider to make the decisions?

Was she even part of the Pearsons anymore?

“Olivia, it couldn’t have been a one-sided assault. You must have done something wrong. If not, Gavin wouldn’t have attacked you, would he?”

Olivia was so pissed that her slender body trembled. What mistakes had she committed? According to Norman’s logic, should she have just put on the sexy underwear in front of Gavin just because Gavin told her to? Did she deserve the beating just because she refused to comply?

Norman had completely disappointed her.

“Olivia, Gavin is still young, so he might do things emotionally and without thinking. You’re his older sister, so you should tolerate him. It’s nothing serious.” Seeing that his daughter wasn’t saying anything, Norman continued coaxing her.

As long as Olivia pardoned Gavin, Thomas wouldn’t have a reason to attack him.

Judging by Thomas’ temper and tendencies, if Gavin came, Thomas might just kill him. Gavin was Norman’s only son, and he had hopes for Gavin to continue the Pearsons’ lineage in the future.

Olivia turned and got out of bed, then walked up to Norman slowly. “Nothing serious, eh? If it weren’t for Thomas’ medical skills, I’d probably be dead by now.”
