Chapter 912 Jeremy Arrives
"Ms. Smith might be hurt. Shouldn't you go check on her, Mr. DeRoss?" one of his subordinates suggested.
Jeremy's eyes were deep and dark, cold yet involuntarily rippling with emotion. His hoarse voice murmured, "She's pregnant..."
But the thought of the 'child' in her belly made his face instantly darken.
Damn it, why should he care about Olivia?
Yet his long legs had already moved on their own, stepping out of the car and striding into the DeRoss Group hospital lobby. As he walked, he frowned and asked his subordinate, "Why did Olivia suddenly come back to Lymington? Do you know?"
"How could I know, Mr. DeRoss? Besides, you told us not to mention anything about Olivia..."
Jeremy's eyelids lifted, his expression darkening. "I said not to mention it, but I didn't say not to inform me! Idiot."
The subordinate was speechless.
You say one thing and mean another. Who can figure you out?
Should we mention it or not?
"I'll find out right away when Olivia returned to Lymington. But sir, you've been drunk for the past two days, and we didn't dare disturb you over something minor."
Jeremy paused, his striking eyes lowering. Finally, he said, "Nothing about her is minor."
The subordinate glanced at his handsome features, noting the depth in his eyes behind his glasses.
It seemed Jeremy was deeply hurt by this relationship.
Despite his harsh words about Olivia, he still cared.
"I understand, Mr. DeRoss. I'll keep a closer eye on Olivia for you..."
As they spoke, they approached Lynn's hospital room.
Noah and Liliana were rushing in, looking frantic. "Lynn! Lynn!"
Seeing this, Jeremy thought of Olivia's petite, pregnant body. She had come alone to confront Lynn, who was no saint. His face turned grim as he strode over, "Olivia—"
The room was already in chaos, filled with Lynn's agonized screams. "…My wrist, Mom, Dad, my wrist! Olivia cut my tendon… this lunatic, lunatic!"
"What? Olivia! Honey, call the police! Arrest Olivia!" Liliana was terrified at the sight of all the blood.
Lynn had rolled off the bed, her face contorted in pain. Her wrist was cut to the bone, blood gushing out. She clung to Olivia's clothes with her other hand.
Blood was everywhere.
Olivia let her grab, protecting her belly. She was surprisingly calm, wiping her fingerprints off the knife. "Who saw me cut you? Didn't you try to commit suicide to force Jeremy to marry you, but the wound wasn't deep enough, so you cut again and accidentally severed a tendon, causing permanent damage?
Congratulations, you got what you wanted. You can marry Jeremy now."
She crouched down, her eyes red with madness, and whispered with a cruel smile, "You poisoned my dad to force me to marry Sam. Of course, I had to give you a big gift.
Lynn, don't mess with someone who's desperate.
Go ahead, call the police, say I cut your hand. We'll go down together. I recorded everything you said about harming my dad.
At worst, you won't marry Jeremy, and you'll all be disgraced!"
"Bitch, you recorded me?" Lynn's face twisted, but she quickly sneered. "The cops will only trace the poison to Sam. If they find me, I'll be impressed. And if you want to go down together, your dad will die within three days. Let's see if you dare."
She knew Olivia couldn't gamble with Jake's life. Olivia loved Jake too much.
Olivia realized she couldn't use the recording now, and even if she did, it might not convict Lynn.
Everything was premeditated, step by step. Lynn must have destroyed all evidence.
So Olivia didn't argue. "Good luck with your success, and becoming a cripple."
"I'll be Jeremy's wife! When he inherits NexaCore Group and becomes the most powerful man in Veridiania, I'll make you, your mom, and your daughter wish you were dead. Remember, wish you were dead."
Lynn clutched her wrist, trembling with hatred.
She spotted a tall figure rushing over. It was Jeremy!
Lynn's eyes shifted, whispering in Olivia's ear, "All this because you coveted Jeremy. I'll use the man you loved to destroy you!
After we marry, he'll love me. Do you think he'll remember you, Olivia? I'll have three kids with him. Jeremy already agreed. After my suicide attempt, he's been so obedient. We've even planned the wedding details.
Look at him. Since he found out you're pregnant, he despises you.
Otherwise, why wouldn't he care about your dad's accident?
His heart is back with me. You've lost completely. How pathetic!"
Whether Lynn's words were true or not, Olivia felt like a knife was slowly cutting her heart.
Jake's accident...was it partly Jeremy's fault?
He wasn't the perpetrator, but he was a catalyst.
Without him and his indulgence, Lynn wouldn't have targeted her, Jake wouldn't have been framed for murder, had a heart attack, and been imprisoned. None of this would have happened!
And him? He was planning to marry Lynn. They had discussed the wedding.
And having three kids.
What about her child… the one in her belly, his child, causing her unbearable pain, suffocating her.
She had said she would abort the child, but deep down, she couldn't bear to.
Now, he was talking about having three kids.
In an instant, Olivia's hatred for Jeremy surged.
She sneered at Lynn's smug face. Cutting her wrist wasn't enough. She had to shatter Lynn's fantasy. Olivia smiled coldly, "Don't think you're lucky. Jeremy is just a man I discarded!
I loved how his eyes were always on me. Every time he fell for me, I knew you hated it but were helpless.
Do you know why I flirted with him? To torment you, a heartless woman.
Lynn, I also slept with Jeremy. He was obsessed with me, even remembered it after losing his memory.
Look at him, disgusted by you, won't even touch you.
I'm done with him. You can have him, second-hand."
"You… you slept with him? You bitch, bitch!" Lynn was enraged, lunging at Olivia.
Olivia wanted her to go mad.
Her eyes red with hatred, she turned to leave the room but froze.
Jeremy stood at the door, one hand in his pocket, his tall figure like a frozen statue, watching Olivia with a chilling, sinister gaze. After a long silence, he let out a soft, mocking laugh.
The coldness was bone-chilling.
