Reborn Wife

Chapter 23 

To a person who was already in a vulnerable situation, the appearance of the Southern View was undoubtedly a ray of light in his darkness, the only life-saving straw that a drowning person could ever grasp.

Nicholas looked at her blankly and didn't ask anything.

He only said, "As long as you will save my daughter, I will treat you like a cow for the rest of my life.’ Indeed.

Even if the condition was for him to die now, he would not hesitate to agree for her daughter's life.

Olivia refused.

"I don't want you to serve me like I am the Queen.I only want 70% shares of your company.The good thing about our deal is that you are still the boss.Also, I do not care how you'll run the company.I'll just pay for it and all you have to do is to make your company bigger.Are we clear on that?"

Nicholas thought for a second, ‘Does this count as an insult? Maybe some kind of scheme?’ But this young girl in front of him was being true and had given him such preferential treatment with a precious trust.

He thought that maybe he was dreaming and the girl might be making fun of him.

But after he checked the balance of her credit card, it was more than 60 million dollars.

Not a single bit of her deal was false.

Nicholas couldn't believe it.

He immediately wiped his tears away and unconsciously nodded his head repeatedly in response, "Alright!"

Instead of taking back the card, Olivia stuffed it into Nicholas's hand with a wide smile curved into her lips.

"Take it.It's yours.Save your daughter's life before going back to work.You can spend the money as long as you please.Just do not forget about our deal."

After giving the man her card and her phone number, she turned around and said, "I still have things to do." before leaving the place.

From the beginning, you would think that she was a heavenly deity sent from above.

This girl appeared without ridicule or robbery.

What she left behind was indeed a huge sum of money and hope of survival.

It wasn't even more than five minutes before she left.

Apart from her phone number, Nicholas didn't even know her last name.

Nicholas cried again.

After a long time, his pair of desperate eyes were replaced by a determined light to motivate himself to start afresh.

Olivia did not know that her actions would completely bribe Nicholas's heart.

She was expecting that in the future, his company, which was almost impossible to rise again, would rise with a powerful vengeance and a vigorous vitality.

It would rise and would never be shaken again until it became a huge consortium, attracting the envy of countless people.

Aside from that, he had even become Olivia's indestructible trump card.

Leonard was supposed to bribe him in his previous life, but now that he had been captured by Olivia in this life, it will leave the enemy with no way to go.

The conditions she gave Nicholas were millions of times better than what Leonard had given to him back then.

Even if Leonard wanted to bribe him later, it was impossible.

Thinking of it made Olivia snorted and hurriedly returned to the place she had arranged with Bruce.

On the other hand, Bruce had been waiting for Olivia for more than a minute now.

He was getting impatient but as soon as he saw a girl in a pink dress, he couldn't stop himself from thinking about Olivia.

‘Where is she?’ Later on, he shook his head and patiently waited for her instead.

Not knowing that the girl he saw was her in that dress.

"Brother’ Olivia stopped in front of the man, looking up to him to meet his gaze.

"Have you been waiting for me?" She asked.

Bruce was startled as his stare went down to her dress; immediately diverted his attention away from her by looking at his watch.

As expected, she was five minutes late.

"Doesn't matter."

He answered whilst rubbing his temple. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

In many people who wanted to treat him to dinner, starting from noble families to huge Enterprises, none of them dared to be late.

For Bruce, it was different tonight.

He glances at Olivia from time to time to check on her, only to see that this little girl was innocent.

There was even a hint of caution in his actions after he looked straight away into her eyes.

He also tried his best not to admire her beauty so he could keep his image wherever they go.

"Let's go."

He said and started leading the way.

Olivia knew that she had forgotten about the time.

She had just drifted away and was so angry at him who just turned around and started walking as if her existence was nothing for him.

"Really?" said Olivia with a hint of disappointment on her face.

Until they arrived at one of the famous restaurants throughout the City.

The Ten Miles Fragrance’s shop.

It was said that the chef inside was once an Imperial Chef.

His culinary skills were five-star rated.

Anyone who would taste their food would never forget the taste of it.

But they had a rule that only ninety-nine guests were welcome to their restaurant.

Those who exceeded this number would no longer be welcomed even if they were part of the noble families.

It was also said that the mysterious boss behind this well-known restaurant had a strong background.

Olivia was amazed.

When she looked around, she saw that there wasn't a single guest inside the restaurant.

Only the waiters who were standing neatly, as if they were waiting for them to come.

She shrugged the thought of it and kept quiet until she followed Bruce into the restaurant.

However, this scene happened to be seen by Maggie who was passing by with Leonard.

Maggie was stunned by the sight of it.

She consciously grabbed Leonard's arm and pointed at the Ten Miles Fragrance’s shop.

"Brother Leo, I think I just saw my sister with a man enter that restaurant.They look very intimate..."

As she mentioned Olivia, Leonard instantly frowned.

He couldn't believe it and even tried to pull Maggie with him.

"Maybe you are mistaken"

But she insisted.

"I wasn't so sure.After all, my sister Olivia is your fiancé.How could she be so intimate with another man? I must have seen it wrongly..."

Maggie answered with an embarrassment written on her face.

She was making a point but still, there was a part of Leonard that wanted to make sure if the girl that Maggie mentioned earlier wasn't Olivia.

To clarify it, he rushed towards the Ten Miles Fragrance's shop, alone.

"Brother Leo, Wait for me!" Maggie shouted.

As soon as Olivia stepped into the restaurant, Leonard saw her and was stunned after seeing her with another man.

‘How could she do this to me?’ he asked himself.

He was so furious that grabbed her by her wrist to pull Olivia to his side.

"I didn't expect that you, a perverted woman, would carry me on a date with someone else?"

"What?"

Olivia couldn't believe what Leonard had just said to her.

He was ridiculous.

As far as she could remember, Olivia allowed Leonard and Maggie to go out on a date for a day, and now he was here, criticizing and judging her actions.

‘What kind of man is he?’ Witnessing this sight made Leonard subconsciously think that maybe Olivia was jealous of Maggie.

So he faked a smile and said, "Why don't you go out with me and follow me instead of that man?"

Leonard irritably asked.

Olivia laughed sarcastically, withdrawing a smile, "Oh, Don't tell me that you are here to tell what my fortune is? I want to ask you a question.Are you a fortune-teller?"

Before Leonard could even react, the man standing beside Olivia turned around.

Now that he saw his face, Leonard was stunned.

All this time, the mas was his Uncle Bruce.

"U-Uncle.."

Leonard stuttered as he cleared his throat.

Bruce had just received a phone call and didn't have time to back up Olivia.

But he didn't expect that in less than a minute, this little man, Leonard would dare to be arrogant and aggressive in front of him.

"Are you looking for trouble?"

Bruce asked and glanced at Leonard arrogantly with his gaze cold and sharp.

Leonard trembled before clenching his fists.

‘How dare he!’ but he couldn't say a word.

Although Bruce was not that older than him, the person he had been most afraid of since he was a kid, was his uncle Bruce.

His face was blank and dark.

Seeing that expression made Leonard frightened.

Then Bruce's gaze shifted back to Olivia, down to Leonard’s hand around Olivia's wrist.

"Why don't you let her go?"
