Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 92

Olivia thought about it. “Do you really want to break up with Ben? What if he objects and sways things in his favor?”

Olivia thought about it. “Do you really want to break up with Ben? What if he objects and sways things in his favor?”

“I’m never going to date a jerk like him even if it means my life.” Jessica snorted.

Olivia replied, “I’ll send something to you. It might be useful.” She then sent Jessica the video where Ben and Anna made out in the airport.

“What is this?” Looking doubtful, Jessica clicked into it. After finishing the video, she felt her blood running cold, like she was being thrown right into an icy pit, and she shivered in disgust. “W-When did this happen?”

“The day we met when you bought the car,” Olivia answered. “I went to pick someone up at the airport. He said he went on a business trip? Yeah, that’s a lie. He just came back with Anna, and I saw them when I went to the restroom.” Jessica hung her head low and looked like she was going to cry, much to Olivia’s worry. “Oh, don’t cry. Jerks like him aren’t worth your tears.”

“I’m not crying for him. I’m crying for myself. I can’t believe how stupid I am for trusting this jerk for so long,” Jessica said.

Olivia put her hand on Jessica’s shoulder. “Nobody’s perfect. I’m not trying to make you sad here. This is just for you and your family to see him for who he is. Since we’re humans, we’re susceptible to praise, but that doesn’t mean you can lie to yourself forever just because he sweet talks you. Take the lesson this time and stay away from jerks after this.”

Jessica wiped her tears and hugged Olivia. “Thank you, Olivia.”

Olivia nodded. “It’s fine. Go home now.” After they went their own ways, Olivia went out and saw Eugene still waiting in the car for her. She felt touched and quickly went to it. Since Eugene was driving, Olivia felt weird about it, but she went in anyway. “Mr. Nolan.”

Eugene grunted. “When did you get to know her?”

Olivia smiled. “This morning. When I was on the way here, I saw her fighting with Ben in the lobby. Ben refused to admit to his cheating, and he tried to abuse her, so I helped out.” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Eugene was amused. “So you were late not because of the traffic, but because you wanted to be a hero?”

Oops. In her delight, Olivia had forgotten about their earlier meeting, so she smiled sheepishly. “You would have helped too if you saw it.”

Eugene glanced at her. “I don’t have the habit of interfering with someone else’s personal affairs.”

Olivia was vexed. “I would have dissuaded them from breaking up if it’s just a normal fight, but Ben had crossed the moral line. He tried to justify his cheating and even abused his fiancée! They aren’t even married yet, so imagine what would happen after they are! I was just trying to make her see that jerk for who he is!” Olivia spoke quickly.

Her agitation surprised Eugene. “I’m just trying to analyze this rationally. It’s hard to say who’s wrong and who’s right from a simple argument.”

Looking at him, Olivia said, “You’re analyzing this? We women know who’s right instinctively! I saw that jerk making out with Anna! They’ve crossed the line, and this is their fault! No way I’m letting Jessica eat this humiliating pie!”

Eugene looked at her with surprise. No wonder she’s so worked up. So Anna’s involved. “You did the right thing.” He had chosen to take a step back.

That simple sentence managed to calm Olivia, but it made her think, Why did I get so worked up for?
