Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 89

Olivia panicked. Eugene hated it when someone insulted him, and she could imagine what he would say, so Olivia quickly told her, “Miss Jones, of course he can court me if he likes me, but consent is important. Your cousin came to my house and forced me to date him. When I refused, he asked his men to subdue me so he can rape me. They trashed my house, and he said he would f*ck me until I die. Is this how your family’s men court women? If it wasn’t for Mr. Nolan’s timely arrival, I couldn’t have been sitting here now.”

Aleena looked at her with fury. “I don’t know how he courts you, so why are you telling me that?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Olivia looked at her. “Nothing. Maybe he took your advice the wrong way, or maybe he took your orders the wrong way.”

“You suspect me of being the mastermind? I already told you, no.” Aleena frowned.

Before Olivia could reply, Eugene said, “And that’s why you’re here instead of the hospital. I called you over to tell you that I roughed your cousin up, so if you want an explanation, come to me.”

Olivia looked at the tearful Aleena with no sympathy. Crushing on someone wasn’t wrong, nor was curbing a bad habit, though she felt annoyed getting caught in this crossfire. Olivia didn’t believe it when Aleena denied playing a part in this, so she wouldn’t sympathize with her. I’ve already let last night’s matter slide, so this is all on her.

Eugene stood up. “I’ll send you back,” he told Olivia.

Olivia nodded, but then she refused him.

Eugene didn’t allow her to refuse. “Come with me. I need to talk to you about something.”

Olivia grunted and left with him, then Curtis and the man with the mask followed. In the end, only Aleena and Robin were left.

Tears fell down Aleena’s cheeks, then she lay on the table and cried. He’s so cruel. Doesn’t he know I like him? How can he do this to me?

It wasn’t until Eugene had left did Robin make a sound. Because his mouth was sealed, everything he said was muffled. Aleena looked at him in disgust and wiped her tears away before tearing the duct tape away from his mouth. “Aleena—”

“Don’t talk to me!” Aleena snapped. “Are you dumb? Why did you sell me out?”

Robin said sadly, “Aleena, you have no idea what I went through. It was hell, I tell you. Look at my wounds! I thought I would be dead!”

Aleena’s dark look was a stark contrast to the crying mess she was a moment ago. “But did you die? No! You almost killed me though! You had one job, and you blew it! How hard is it to bed a woman?! Don’t follow me from now on!” She wanted to leave.

Robin panicked, and he held on to her leg while begging, “I did my best, Aleena! That woman knows how to fight, and she beat all three of us!”

Aleena shook her leg to break free from his grasp. “Then f*cking get more men to do the job! Just get her enemies! Right, there’s someone you can ask for help from.”

On the other hand, Ben and Anna had come out from Ruby Palace and gone into their car for a while. The more Ben thought about it, the angrier he was. I’m not going to take that lying down. Anna glanced at him. She knew Ben might be a flirt who sweet talked everyone easily, but the guy was a chauvinist.

She knew Ben didn’t necessarily like Jessica, but her crying scratched his image, so one thing led to another, and this happened.
