Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 86

Frowning, Ben looked up at Olivia who was standing before him. “Who the hell are you? This is none of your business!”

Olivia bent down and helped Jessica whom he’d knocked to the ground. Then, she said languidly, “I just can’t quite stand someone like you who’d still quibble despite being in the wrong. Regardless of whether the engagement is of your own volition, you have to acquiesce since you’re already engaged. Staying loyal is the least you should do, yet you’re even giving excuses for cheating, claiming that it’s common for men. Don’t drag all men into this. Other men aren’t as much of a scumbag as you are!”

As she said that, she looked at Jessica and lectured her patiently, saying, “What’s the use of getting angry over such a man? Are you still hoping that he’ll return like the prodigal son, so you’re not kicking him far away? Haven’t you ever heard that a leopard never changes its spots?”

Finding this an inevitable crossing of paths, Anna demanded coldly, “What are you trying to do here? Why are you sticking your nose into this couple’s lovers’ tiff?”

Olivia looked at her with a sneer tugging on her lips. “Aren’t you the reason for this couple’s lovers’ tiff? Your child is about to go to elementary school, yet you’re still so eager to be a home-wrecker? Don’t you know that home-wreckers are now the target of public scorn? You’re rather smart that you’re even planning to take yourself out of the equation after having created the mess. But can you really do that?”

“Don’t spew nonsense. We were just discussing a collaboration, and it was this lady here who misunderstood,” Anna hastily clarified, her eyes darting at the onlookers.

Olivia threw her a disdainful glance. “You should be saying this to your husband. As long as your husband believes you, no one would care even if you were to claim that you were disco-dancing in the room.”

As she said that, she looked at Ben, the corners of her mouth curving into a derisive arc. “Looks like it’s true love, since you even hit your own fiancée for the sake of a married woman!”

Taking a step forward, Ben pointed a finger at her harshly. “Stop being such a hound and mind your own business!”

“Hounds must be rather busy these days, else you two cheating rats would have been long since vanquished!” Olivia countered nonchalantly.

“You’re just asking for it, huh?” Ben reached out to shove her.

All at once, Olivia’s face darkened. Clamping a hand on his wrist, she spun sharply before bending her back to him and exerting strength. The man was then thrown right over her shoulder with a crash.

Afraid that they’d be hit, the crowd retreated a step while inwardly cheering. The pain from the fall was so intense that Ben roared, “F*ck…”

Olivia, however, dusted her hands and walked up to him in a few steps. Then, she lowered her gaze and stared at him. “Don’t you know that you ought to be more gentlemanly toward women? What a scumbag!” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Ben! Ben, are you okay?” Anna rushed over to help him up. “Ben, let’s go. Don’t bother with this madwoman.”

Staring at them, Olivia murmured, “You haven’t apologized.”

“Olivia Maxwell, will you just cut it out? Is this matter related to you?” Anna thundered, hopping mad.

“If he doesn’t want to apologize, let’s just call the police and have them handle this matter,” Olivia retorted.

Surprisingly, Jessica took a step forward and gazed at them with a smile playing on her lips. “There’s no need for an apology. Rather, I even have to thank you for showing me your true colors. I’m truly fortunate that we’re merely engaged. Ben Roberts, you love her, yes? I’ll see the two of you through. I’ll tell my father tomorrow to call off our engagement!”

Ben was taken aback for a moment before he ruthlessly nodded. “Okay! Just make sure that you don’t regret it!” As he said that, he turned his gaze on Olivia with a ferocious look that conveyed something along the lines of ‘I’ll have my revenge’ before declaring, “Just you wait!” After saying that, he left in a huff.

“I’ll be waiting!” Olivia replied breezily.
