Chapter 1287 Jewel’s Plan
After contemplating for a moment, Jewel suggested, "We can pretend to have a falling-out,
and I'll fly back alone. With how much Blood Rose hates me, she will never let me leave.
Hence, she will most definitely make her move in the airport, and we can just have our
men lie in wait there."
However, Olivia was worried about her plan. "There will be too many people in the airport;
we'll definitely get innocent bystanders involved."
Jewel rebuked, "Since she knows that we and the police are looking for her everywhere,
how would she make her move so brazenly? She'd have to find a place with no one
around, like the washroom, so that she can deal with me without any interruptions."
Alex frowned. "That woman is immensely cunning and unpredictable. Let's think of other
plans; I'm worried about you being in the airport alone."
Jewel comforted him, "What is there to worry about? She may be cunning, but I'm no
pushover myself. We've been searching for her all this time, and now the tables have
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtturned. If she deliberately hides and refuses to come out, where would we find her
amongst all these people? Luring her out of hiding is undoubtedly the best approach we
have now."
Seemingly comforted by her words, Alex felt as if he were the cause of this matter and did
not continue to rebuke her. Instead, he said, "Then I'll come with you."
Jewel let out a sigh. Knowing that it was impossible to stop him from following her, she
decided to give up on wasting her breath.
"Fine. It'll be more convincing if we were together, anyway. What we have to do now is to
make sure that the news reaches everyone's ears. At the very least, we have to ensure
that Blood Rose knows that I've gotten into an argument with Olivia and flew back home."
Eugene exchanged glances with the rest. "All right, let's look into it."
…
During lunch, the crowd took their seats at the table, but George was nowhere to be
found.
Olivia piped up, "Why isn't George coming back for lunch?"
"He said he isn't hungry, and he told us to eat without him," Hector explained.
Hearing that, Olivia and Eugene exchanged a look, each of them letting out a helpless sigh
inwardly.
Others might not understand his inner turmoil and discomfort, but the two of them
certainly did. He probably never expected that the Rogers siblings were not only Eugene's
children but hers as well. To make things worse, she had not told him the truth for fear of
him losing his temper, and now she was completely doomed.
At that thought, Olivia rose to her feet and immediately headed to the clinic.
Meanwhile, George was currently having his meal with the clinic staff. However, he did not
eat his food, and while the lunch box in front of him was still full and untouched, the
ashtray was piled with cigarette butts. As the others chatted amongst themselves, he
appeared out of place and unusually lonely sitting there without saying a single word.
After taking a deep breath, Olivia disregarded her fear and gathered her courage to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmapproach him. "George…"
Hearing that, George lifted his gaze to look at her. However, instead of replying, he silently
picked up his lunch box and went to the back.
Olivia hastily chased after him. "George, wait for me."
At first, George was unwilling to spare her any time of the day, but as he watched her
running toward him, he was worried about the child in her belly and had no choice but to
stop in his tracks. He turned around and looked at her. "What do you want?"
His words were stiff and devoid of any emotion, but this was the best possible outcome for
Olivia—he wasn't ignoring her, nor was he giving her the cold shoulder. Even though both
his tone and attitude were unfriendly, he was still willing to listen to her, which showed
that he was not genuinely angry at her and still wanted to give her a chance to explain
herself.
Her face piled with shame and guilt, Olivia lowered her head and apologized pitifully, "I'm
sorry, George."
George sent her a look, huffing to himself, So you do know what I hate the most.
"Do you think I'll forgive you just because you're acting all pitiful?"
