Chapter 539: Chapter 534 My second brother has someone he likes_1
“What do my private matters with him have to do with you?” The moment Olivia Sawyer’s voice rang out, the surroundings quieted down.
Seeing Jeremy Norman standing tall and straight, Olivia Sawyer let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he was here on time.
“Olivia Sawyer, we all remember when you tried to pursue him, he barely even glanced at you. Is your defence of him now a sign of lingering affection?”
“Yes, Olivia Sawyer, you should not live in the past. We are just outraged on your behalf.”
…
The paparazzi chattered, seemingly speaking in favour of Olivia Sawyer, yet with every remark, they attacked Jeremy Norman.
They didn’t dare provoke Olivia’s powerful backing, someone even Scarlett Jackson wouldn’t dare offend, so as small-time reporters, they had to give some face to Olivia Sawyer.
As long as Olivia can handle this properly, she would surely gain more fans.
As for Jeremy Norman, this newcomer, he might just become infamous.
Pleasing developments were popular lately. As long as Olivia can firmly hold onto the leading lady script, there would only be benefits coming her way.
If Olivia was clever, she only needed to verbally attack Jeremy at this point.
The reporters knew this, and so should Olivia Sawyer.
Jeremy gave Olivia a glance, his eyes softly downcast.
Confessing to Olivia was his doing.
He knew the suddenness of all this, he even despised himself, but he didn’t regret it.
As long as he wasn’t burdening Olivia, he didn’t fear these public opinions.
“What does me having lingering feelings have to do with you?” Olivia’s retort stunned the reporters.
What was this supposed to mean?
Could it be that Olivia really had lingering feelings?
Seeing Olivia’s face turn cold, Jeremy felt his heart squeeze.
Every time Olivia’s face fell, it was a prelude to her losing her temper.
Before she could get angry, Jeremy hastily took a microphone from a nearby paparazzo.
“Yes, I was the one who didn’t realise my feelings sooner, I deserved to be single.”
The atmosphere froze instantly.
At first, the paparazzi were confused, but then excitement filled their eyes.
He admitted it!
The scummy man himself admitted it!
Good, good, good, there is more follow-up to this breaking news!
This stakeout was so worth it.
The paparazzi were both excited and thrilled.
Jeremy’s eyes were clear, the calmness of a deep pond only ruffled when he looked at Olivia.
“But all this has nothing to do with her. I’m the one clinging to her.”
The atmosphere reached a climax.
Olivia’s heart tightened.
This guy, why did he portray himself as a bootlicker?
If she didn’t step in now, who knows what tomorrow’s news might report, and then the entire stock price of the Norman family would be affected.
When she left Molly Walker’s hospital room today, Molly had stopped her.
“This time around, if you don’t step in, no one can protect the Norman family.”
“Miss Sawyer, do you truly not like Jeremy anymore?”
Molly’s question hit the depths of her soul, unlocking the shackles she had never locked at the bottom of her heart.
Does she really not like Jeremy anymore?
How could years of feelings be cast aside?
She just didn’t dare admit to it, didn’t dare to accept it.
Molly saw through her, it was only her who couldn’t see through herself, nor wanted to admit it.
Looking at the excited paparazzi, Olivia’s worry ultimately won over.
She was annoyed with Jeremy, but she never thought of completely hindering him.
The media wanted her to sever ties with Jeremy, she was determined not to play by their script.
Olivia quickly walked to Jeremy’s side and stood with him, side by side. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
The spring sunlight was a little dazzling, yet not as intense as the harsh winter cold.
She reached out and grabbed Jeremy’s hand, standing tall and upright, smiling like a beautiful blooming flower.
“What are you talking about ‘lingering feelings’ .”
Her crisp voice echoed decisively: “We are already dating!”
Olivia’s words were like a thunderclap in a clear sky, exploding in everyone’s ears.
“Are you not dating your junior, Bryan Harris?”
“Olivia Sawyer, are you serious? Are you two really dating?”
The paparazzi couldn’t believe their own ears.
These days, Olivia Sawyer and Bryan Harris were often seen together, everyone tacitly approved they were a couple, they just hadn’t officially announced it yet.
But they could never have imagined that Olivia’s real boyfriend was actually Jeremy Norman.
“That’s not right, Jeremy Norman just said he is single.” A glasses-wearing reporter stepped out to challenge, “You’re lying!”
Olivia Sawyer raised an eyebrow: “Do we need to report to you when we are dating? Besides, it’s normal for people in love to have little disagreements. This is my private matter; you all don’t need to scrutinize so much.”
Her words carried a hint of warning.
The press photographers were dumbstruck; this was not according to their script.
Olivia Sawyer and Jeremy Norman were dating!
Olivia Sawyer was willing to take back her decision!
How stifling, truly stifling!
Jeremy Norman looked toward Olivia Sawyer, about to say something, but she squeezed his hand painfully.
She leaned in his ear, warning lowly: “Let’s wait until this issue is over. It doesn’t matter what my reputation is, but you can’t ignore your family’s company.”
Olivia Sawyer stood tall, not afraid in the face of the reporters’ disdain.
Hearing that phrase “it doesn’t matter what my reputation is,” Jeremy Norman’s heart gave a slight wrench.
He knew how Olivia Sawyer had come these years, having been targeted many times by her competitors, she had a large number of haters.
It wasn’t that she didn’t care about her reputation; she had just gotten used to being targeted.
She was only in her twenties, and yet she seemed to have experienced decades of hardship.
Without any hesitation, Jeremy Norman led her into the house. He shut the door, blocking out the noisy voices from outside.
“You said we’re dating, is it true?” Jeremy Norman’s voice was hoarse, carrying a careful probe, “Or just now, you were just trying to help me?”
Olivia Sawyer was at a loss for words because of his question.
When she met his deep gaze, it was as if drums were beating in Olivia Sawyer’s heart, “thump, thump,” without stopping.
She didn’t know why, but her mind was a blank. The only thing that popped up was his words on the stairs, “I don’t necessarily fall short compared to your younger brothers.”
She was bold and straightforward and almost never hid anything from those she was familiar with.
Such straightforward words, she wouldn’t find embarrassing to say.
However, Jeremy Norman’s words kept her heart beating.
This uncontrollable heartbeat, all because of him.
“Forget it,” Olivia Sawyer sighed, “then let’s try dating. I’m giving you fair warning, if we’re not suitable, we’ll separate without delay.”
“Good.” Jeremy Norman laughed brightly.
…
After Olivia Sawyer left, Molly Walker called Harry Lambert: “Spread the word about Olivia Sawyer and Jeremy Norman’s recent news to the media we know, control the commentary.”
Jeremy Norman and Olivia Sawyer were her friends and she naturally had to lend a hand.
Having just hung up the phone, she received a message from Emma Smith.
“Molly, I beg you, help me.”
Emma Smith sent several messages.
Seeing this name, Molly Walker frowned.
Emma Smith had helped her out many times before and was now an exceptional assistant in “W”.
Emma was eager to learn and was also adept at handling miscellaneous tasks, besides No. 6, Emma was efficient among the people around her.
With Emma Smith’s character, she wouldn’t be sending this kind of message for no reason, unless she was really in trouble.
“What’s up?”
“My mom and my grandma went out to buy groceries and disappeared. We can’t find them no matter how hard we try. I’m afraid the longer we wait, the more likely disaster will strike.”
It seemed like Emma Smith was always by her cell phone because as soon as she sent the message, a message came from the other side.
“Talk to No. 6, use all the resources from ‘W’ to search for your relatives, especially… look towards Samuel Richardson.”
Emma Smith’s relatives who would be the most useful right now were only Samuel Richardson.
…
Right now, Samuel Richardson was drinking champagne and celebrating in his home, feeling excellent.
Today he received another gift from Gillian Thompson.
All the secrets of the Thompson Group and the critical system passwords.
As long as he found the right opportunity to penetrate, the entire system of Thompson Group would be paralyzed.
“I like this gift a lot. If Nicholas Thompson knew you dealt such a heavy blow to your family, I’m afraid he would regret defending you?”
Even though he was prepared, he didn’t expect that Gillian Thompson would actually go down with her sinking ship and give him these things.
Upon hearing Nicholas Thompson’s name, Gillian took a deep breath, “He won’t know, this matter, absolutely must not let my second brother know.”
Even though Nicholas defends her on the grounds of treating her as a sister, if he knew she betrayed the entire Thompson family, he would beat her to death.
Nicholas is a lawyer.
If she sold out the entire Thompson Group and drove the company into bankruptcy, Nicholas would probably send her to prison.
“I mean, you and your second brother have such a good relationship, why don’t you marry him? After all, you are not blood-related, Nicholas is also better than Ethan Hopkins.” Samuel Richardson seemed somewhat regretful.
Gillian Thompson spoke with disgust, “my second brother is already in love with someone else. I only have a relationship with him as his sister. Don’t think otherwise.”
“Ha-ha, I’m just joking.”
“That joke is not funny; don’t make it again in the future.” Gillian Thompson seemed to recall something, and her tone was markedly impatient.
Previously, no one dared question her and her second brother’s relationship, since all three brothers treated her just as well.
But since Ivy returned, the others distanced from her and only her second brother treated her well, and her relationship with them was ever pointed out.
Others don’t know, but she is very clear, her second brother has always been in love with someone, that person is studying abroad, she is a famous physics PhD and is about to return this year.
And Nicholas’s kindness to her is only due to her being as his sister, there could never be any other possibilities.
