Chapter 460: Then I’ll Trouble You
Hearing Abigail Whitaker’s words, Isaac instinctively glanced at Liam.
Liam’s face was full of suspicion.
Just a moment ago, they were having a good conversation, and Victor had left hurriedly saying there was something at the company. But now, Abigail Whitaker was saying he lost his temper?
Looking at his granddaughter’s expression, it was clear that Victor was quite angry.
Was it because of something at the company?
Isaac, however, understood well. He knew his brother must have had another argument with Olivia.
Every time he painstakingly created opportunities for them, it always seemed to end in a quarrel.
He wondered if they ever got tired of it, Isaac certainly was.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Abigail Whitaker noticed the expressions on her grandfather and brother’s faces and felt puzzled.
She had thought Victor had an unpleasant encounter with them, but now it seemed his anger had nothing to do with them.
So what was it? Even when she mentioned Emma, Victor didn’t respond.
…
Leaving Whitaker’s Estate, Olivia checked the time. The research institute was still in working hours, so she turned back to the institute.
On her way back, Victor’s words kept echoing in her ears.
Olivia felt a turmoil in her heart.
This wasn’t the first time that man had asked about her relationship with Harold.
If it were six years ago, even when they were still married, Victor probably wouldn’t have asked about such things.
In fact, if he had known she was getting close to another man, he might have even felt relieved.
Now that they had no relationship, that man still wouldn’t let go of this matter and seemed so angry about it.
Olivia found herself unable to fathom his thoughts anymore.
Back at the research institute, Gabriel was busy in the lab area. Seeing her return, he looked a bit surprised. “Weren’t you at Whitaker’s Estate? Why are you back so soon?”
Olivia smiled nonchalantly. “I finished my business and came back.”
Gabriel noticed something unusual in her expression and looked at her with concern for a while.
Olivia had already thrown herself into work. Sensing his probing gaze, she merely looked up and gave him a faint smile.
Seeing her look away, Gabriel felt a pang of bitterness.
It was clear that Olivia didn’t intend to say much, and he had no right to ask. All he could do was watch her in low spirits.
The only thing he could do was try to share some of her workload at the research institute.
With this in mind, Gabriel quietly stepped forward and took over Olivia’s tasks.
Olivia was momentarily stunned.
“The Hargraves family’s free clinic should be in the next few days, right?” Gabriel said casually. “Your top priority now is to prepare for that. Leave the research institute’s work to me.”
Hearing this, Olivia hesitated for a moment and then smiled. “Then I’ll trouble you.”
Gabriel gave her a reassuring smile.
Nearby, other researchers at the institute also knew that Olivia would be attending the Hargraves family’s free clinic and chimed in supportively.
“Dr. Prescott, go prepare. It’ll bring honor to our institute.”
“Don’t worry, Dr. Prescott. We’ve got things covered here. You just focus on the clinic.”
…
Everyone knew the prestigious position of the Hargraves family in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. Being associated with them would elevate their institute to a higher level.
Seeing everyone’s support, Olivia smiled gratefully, greeted them, and returned to her office.
