Chapter 283
Adenauer subtly offered me a favor. He knew he didn’t want to contact Aaron, so he offered to help me ask him for help. But I hesitated because he didn’t want to owe people any favors. And he wasn’t sure who didn’t want to own this favor.
She didn’t know how close Adenauer and Aaron were. But I assumed that my existence had caused discord between them. Besides, Aaron had played with my feelings like he played with the other women. If Adenauer told him about me, the latter might make fun of him.
After thinking about it, I made up my mind and said, “Forget it. Are you busy with work now?”
“Don’t worry about that. You are always my priority.”
“So, you are indeed busy now.”
Feeling warmth in my heart, I became more determined and said, “You should go back to work. I can figure it out myself.”
Adenauer was silent on the other end of the phone.
I hastened to explain: “Don’t get me wrong! David makes me nauseous and gives me a psychological shadow. I don’t want to ask my boyfriend to help me with my problems right now.”
Adenauer was speechless, then burst out laughing.
“Well, since you insist on it, I wish you all the best. However, do not hesitate to contact me if you need help.”
After hanging up the phone, I took a deep breath.
After finding Aaron’s number, I looked at the screen but hesitated to call him, feeling more nervous than the first booty call! He was willing to do anything for Nick. But was this the only way? Did she have to call Aaron?
I got out of bed and paced by the window with my phone. Though I’d racked my brain, I still couldn’t think of anyone I knew on bad terms with David. So I gave up and called Aaron.
After arriving in the United States, I always forgot about the time difference. However, since Adenauer was awake, Aaron shouldn’t be going to bed either.After dialing the number, my heart started racing and even my body temperature rose significantly.
I comforted myself in my heart, “Don’t be so nervous. She will make fun of me or humiliate me at the most. As long as I can find a way to deal with David, it will be worth it.”
Aaron couldn’t appear in front of me over the phone anyway. And he wouldn’t lose anything after hearing some harsh words. However, he did not answer the call after a long time. As time passed, my heart gradually sank. And I felt lost.
He didn’t even want to answer my call now. But it was understandable. After all, I had teased him harshly that morning.He was the CEO and the second son of the Morris Group, so it was normal for him to be angry with me. Maybe he had blocked my number for a long time.
I decided to let Adenauer contact him. At least Aaron was still willing to answer his calls. After all, my priority now was helping Nick survive the crisis in his career.
As he was about to hang up the phone, I saw the duration of the call on the screen start to increase out of the corner of my eye. He had answered the phone!
I quickly pressed my phone to my ear. He kept silent, but the familiar sound of breathing told me he was listening.
Suddenly, I felt dry in my mouth.My mind went blank and I didn’t know what to say.
After a while, I snapped, “This is Olive.”
Hearing him sneer on the other end of the phone, I blushed and I could imagine that she was flashing a smirk with one hand in her pocket and holding the phone with the other.
“I thought she wasn’t in your address book anymore,” Aaron said sarcastically.
I told myself that he had to contain my anger because I needed to ask him for help!
So, I forced myself to ignore his sarcasm and said, “I got in trouble. And only you can help me.”
Before he could finish speaking, he interrupted me with an exaggerated laugh: “Ha! Olive, why do you think I’ll help you when you’re in trouble?”
His tone suddenly turned cold as he asked, “Who do you think you are?”
Aaron was always like this, so he was mentally prepared. He had never loved me, so he wouldn’t have any feelings for me after I scolded him harshly.
But he didn’t want to apologize. It was he who had betrayed me when we were dating. Even if I wanted to ask him for help now, I wouldn’t swallow my pride.
I took a deep breath and said, “David Ford threatened me.”
Aaron was always so perceptive that he asked, “Are you in the United States?”
“Yes, I am in a hotel near Harvard. Do you remember Nick? He is one of my best friends. David tricked him, so he came to take me away. But David threatened to kick him out of the Institute.”
After telling him everything in one go, I said, “David is crazy and twisted. But I don’t know anyone who gets along with him, except you.”
I first met David at an auction four years ago. He and Aaron had been in obvious conflict then, and the latter had resented it greatly. So this was my only hope. Aaron had a high social status. Since she hated David so much, she must have evidence against him.
Aaron was silent, so I uncertainly asked, “Hello? You are listening?”
Aaron’s breathing sounded heavier on the phone.
What was he thinking? A ray of hope rose in my heart.
“You can help? Any way of dealing with him will do. I owe you one”.
“You can’t beat him! Don’t go looking for trouble,” Aaron replied coldly before hanging up the phone.
It was so sudden!
What the hell!
Hearing the beeps on the phone, I was furious!
I had made a lot of metal preparations and endured his ridicule. I thought he would condescendingly help me after he explained why he had called him. After all, he had swallowed my humiliation.
But suddenly he had hung up on me!
“F*ck, you bastard!”
Looking at the phone screen, I wished that I could communicate with him through the phone and slap him.
I was furious!So, I paced back and forth by the window, trying to calm down.
“Sure enough, men are not trustworthy!”
I should not have naively thought that he would do me this favor. But it was also a good thing. After all, now he had seen reality.
Gd helped those who helped themselves.
I turned on my laptop and tried to find some negative news about David on the internet. But this b*st*rd’s costume was perfect. I searched on various platforms but found nothing.
Suddenly, Nick called me.
As soon as I picked up the phone, he said in a terrified voice, “My God! Dr. Noah has suspended my use of the lab over Christmas!”
“Did David contact you?”
“Yeah!”
I got angry again. And now there was only one thought in my mind. I swore that I would use what mattered most to him to destroy him!Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
