That’s why he didn’t marry you
Even though it was still raining, the rain was not coming down as hard as it had before the court case. Cathleen dashed hastily to her car and then sped off to her workplace in the car. The news that they were going to have a lot of customers moving forward made her staff members quite thrilled. When she finally got to her office, she threw herself on the couch and fell asleep almost instantly.
It had been hours since she had gone to sleep, and the beeps and buzzes coming from her phone were what finally roused her from her slumber. She broke into a smile when she realized who was calling. It was her number one supporter, Old Mr. Knight.
Old Mr. Knight: How’s my best lawyer doing?
Cathleen: She is fine, Father, and hello to you too.
Old Mr. Knight: Oh, I’ve been so caught up in everything that I completely forgot to offer you a greeting. I want to congratulate you, Cathy. You are something else, but you do know that the Jones family is going to give you a hard time since they have seen your face, right?
Cathleen: Yeah, I know.
Old Mr. Knight: However, since you have become a Knight, no one will be able to harm you. Well, I will be coming this Saturday. I hope you are not working.
Cathleen: I can never be too busy for you.
Old Mr. Knight: Great! See you Saturday, kiddo.
After pulling up to Knight Group International, Olivia stepped over to the front desk to introduce herself. She made a request to be shown the location of the office that Finn Knight occupied. Olivia did not even bother to call Finn to let him know that she would be there. She was instructed to wait by the woman working the front desk while she contacted a number, but no one answered the call. She then told Olivia that the number wasn’t answered, which meant Mr. Knight was busy, but Olivia suggested that the lady call Finn’s assistant, which the lady did, and Finn’s assistant told the reception lady that the man was free but had someone in his office.
After the call, the woman directed Olivia to Finn’s office and demonstrated how to get there. Olivia didn’t wait for Finn to invite her in before she knocked on the door and entered of her own volition. He was busy with one of the managers. On the other hand, when Finn saw Olivia, he requested that the manager leave immediately. When Finn looked at Olivia, he couldn’t help but wonder why a smart girl like her couldn’t gain Xavier’s affection.
“Olivia, to what do I owe this visit?” Olivia turned her head, her eyes meeting Finn’s with a bright and mischievous glint. She couldn’t help but show off her pearly white teeth in a wide grin, the corners of her lips reaching towards her ears.
“Well, I thought we could talk about our mutual friend.” She said it in a sarcastic tone.
“Stop flattering yourself. Not even in this lifetime would Cathleen be your friend? You really aren’t her cup of tea.” Olivia turned her attention to Finn before offering her thoughts.
“At least I’m more beautiful than her.” Finn let out a sigh before responding to her.
“Her beauty far surpasses anything you could ever achieve. That could be why my uncle married her instead of you.” Olivia was hurt by the remark that Finn had made, despite the fact that Finn had a smirk on his face when he made it. She fixed her gaze on him for a long time, hoping against hope that the man would take back what he had said, but Finn had no intention of retracting anything. Cathleen was a beauty, at least to him. He didn’t give a damn about what other people thought of Cathleen’s attractiveness, for in his eyes, she was the most beautiful lady in the entire wide world. And God, was she?
“So, you were sleeping with Cathleen before she started sleeping with your uncle?” Olivia wanted anything that could be used as a weapon against Cathleen, and the only person who could provide her with information at the moment was Finn, who was, of course, Cathleen’s ex-boyfriend.
“I am not going to share my sexual life with you, Olivia. I have no intention of doing so. Cathleen is mine, and I don’t care if she’s married to my uncle, but I am going to fight for her. That is all you need to know.” The sudden outburst of laughter came from Olivia.
“You don’t even stand a chance against Xavier, Finn.” She took a moment to pause and look at Finn before continuing. “I don’t get it. Even though he hates her, he won’t let me put her down in front of other people. He never stops defending her, and she never stops defending him. Are you sure this was arranged?”
“Look, it was supposed to be my wedding and Avery’s wedding, but that whore left as soon as she found out I wasn’t the owner of Knight Group,” Olivia cut him off.
“I don’t blame her. I would have done the same.” Finn rolled his eyes.
“Now I understand why my uncle didn’t give you any thought.” He said in a mocking tone, “Look, don’t assume you know Xavier. My uncle is unpredictable; don’t be surprised if tomorrow he asks you to fuck off.” When Olivia heard that the man could perhaps ask her to fuck off, her heart gave a little jump. She had nothing to put her faith in at the moment; therefore, she didn’t trust anything. Xavier had recently tied the knot, but none of her friends were aware of this fact.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
She simply could not bring herself to tell anyone since she knew that the information would be used against her in some way. Therefore, she needed to devise a strategy that would allow her to expose Cathleen and marry Xavier.
“You know you haven’t given me anything on Cathleen.”
“I am not giving you shit. Win your man over, make Cathleen jealous and sad, and that would send her packing, and she would come running back to me, where she belongs. I want Cathleen, and you want Xavier; that’s the only thing we need to get going.” When Olivia found out that Finn was interested in Cathleen, she couldn’t help but crack a smile.
