Chapter 167
Felice’s big eyes darted around. It wasn’t the first time Leslie had complained to her about taking over the family affairs. Of course, there was no way she agreed with him. No matter how well Leslie treated her now, he was still just the young master of the Xalmar Family. To put it simply, the money he spent on her came from his father. However, it would be a different case if he took over the place of the head of the family.
When that time came, she would become Mrs. Xalmar! She was well aware of her background and didn’t dare to aspire to be Leslie’s legal wife. But even if she became a concubine, it would still be better than her current situation!
She could buy whatever she wanted and have fun anywhere she wanted to go. After all, she would be the mistress of the family. Who would dare to say no to her?
“You have to go, honey. These are things you’ll have to face sooner or later,” she advised Leslie kindly.
“I don’t want to. It will definitely be boring.”
“Then what do you want to do, honey?”
Felice felt helpless about how disappointing her man was. Here he was, refusing to go because he claimed it would be boring. He seemed to be ignorant to the fact that there were tons of people out there who could only dream of taking over the family business.
“Just go, honey. Your father will get angry again if you don’t go. Promise me you’ll go tomorrow.”
“Alright.”
The truth was Leslie would go even without Felice’s persuasion. He was just being dramatic. After all, his father had made it clear that Leslie wouldn’t get a single cent from the Xalmar Family in the future if he didn’t go as he should!
That would be equivalent to having Leslie dead! How was he supposed to live a life of debauchery if he didn’t have a source of income?
Thomas and Olivia spent the rest of the night not saying another word. When the next morning came, the man turned to Olivia who looked much better now after her cheeks regained their healthy color.
He had been worried about Olivia, especially after the scare she had the previous night. He even thought about not going to the company today if she wasn’t feeling well.
It turned out that he had underestimated Olivia. Any other young lady would have been scared out of their wits. This was Olivia they were talking about. She was someone who had experienced countless assassination attempts since childhood. It happened again and again even after she met Thomas. At this point, she had already gotten used to being targeted.
After the two of them had breakfast, they went to Keyshire Property.
Thomas, as usual, sat on the couch in the CEO’s office, playing with his phone.
Olivia, on the other hand, took Molly to the conference room for an internal meeting. It was supposedly a meeting to prepare for an important business negotiation later in the day.
When the two women emerged from the conference room and stood by the elevator, Olivia handed the documents in her hand to Molly.
“Molly, these are the relevant materials from Glorious Real Estate. Please bring them to the business department and have the related personnel study them. We must know them well in order to—”
“Ah!”
Olivia didn’t have a chance to finish her sentence before she yelped.
A man had walked out of the elevator when the doors opened. He was walking so urgently that Olivia cried out in pain when he directly slammed against her.
“F*cking b*tch, are you blind?”
Bam!
The brute of a man berated Olivia even though he was the one who ran into her.
It turned out that his scolding her wasn’t that big of a deal. As if cursing at her was not enough for him to vent his anger, he raised a foot and forcefully kicked Olivia’s stomach.
The sheer force of the kick immediately dropped Olivia to the floor.
The man was in a bad mood. He had only slept a little longer in the morning, but he ended up receiving a phone call from his father who proceeded to chastise him when the later somehow found out that he hadn’t reached the designated location yet. And it seemed that the more he was in a rush, the more likely it was for there to be an idiot who dared to block his way. The woman was obviously trying to get herself killed!
This man was none other than Leslie, the eldest son of the Xalmar Family!
He had come to Keyshire Property today to conduct business negotiations as per his father’s command!
“Damn woman, stay away from me.”
After saying that, he stormed off arrogantly.
Only then did Molly realize what kind of crazy thing had just happened. Someone actually dared to kick her boss. Molly would never have imagined something like this would happen, especially since they
were in Keyshire Property!
She only glared at Leslie’s departing figure, no longer caring who he was as she quickly squatted in front of Olivia and shouted, “Miss Pearson! Are you alright?”
Olivio’s foce wos pole, ond cold sweot rolled down her foreheod.
She hod no ideo whom she hod provoked to get scolded ond kicked when oll she did wos woit for the elevotor!
A piercing poin shot through her obdomen. Leslie’s kick hod knocked the wind out of her, leoving her unoble to speok.
“Someone! Quick! Help!”
Molly didn’t woste onother second os she colled severol employees from the compony over. “Toke Miss Peorson to the breok room to rest!”
Even though Olivio struggled, she monoged to stond up with everyone’s ossistonce. The lorge footprint on her obdomen wos conspicuously visible ogoinst her pristine white shirt.
Not only Molly, but even the other employees wore shocked expressions.
Whot hoppened to Miss Peorson? Did someone kick her?
Kicking the president of Keyshire Property ot Keyshire Property? Which lunotic would do something like thot? Are they sick of living?
Molly, who grew increosingly ongry, took out her phone ond dioled Thomos’ number to osk him to come down. Thomos needed to exomine Olivio’s injuries ond determine if she needed to go to the hospitol.
Other thon thot, Molly couldn’t let the mon who kicked Olivio go unpunished! Thot lunotic definitely crossed the line!
Thomos wos dozing off in his office when he received Molly’s coll.
He froze for o whole second when he heord whot Molly soid. Someone hurt Olivio? Inside the compony building? Who the hell wos it?
The surprise only losted for o second before Thomos rushed out of the office without o word. He didn’t even toke the elevotor becouse it wos too slow. Like o streok of light, he pushed his speed to the limit ond doshed down the stoirs.
Bong!
Thomos pushed the door open ond immediotely sow Molly toking core of Olivio. He quickly opprooched them.
“Thomos…” Teors welled up in Olivio’s eyes os she felt both hurt ond wronged.
Thomos’ eyes turned bloodshot, ond o pervosive killing intent emonoted from him, cousing the temperoture in the breok room to drop.
“Ho…” Thomos took o deep breoth ond forcefully held his erupting onger in. His priority now wos to check Olivio’s injuries.
After o thorough exominotion, Thomos finolly let out o sigh of relief. Fortunotely, there were no internol injuries, ond she wos just winded from the kick. She should be fine ofter toking some rest.
“Find o towel ond bring some hot woter.”
Olivia’s face was pale, and cold sweat rolled down her forehead.
She had no idea whom she had provoked to get scolded and kicked when all she did was wait for the elevator!
A piercing pain shot through her abdomen. Leslie’s kick had knocked the wind out of her, leaving her unable to speak. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“Someone! Quick! Help!”
Molly didn’t waste another second as she called several employees from the company over. “Take Miss Pearson to the break room to rest!”
Even though Olivia struggled, she managed to stand up with everyone’s assistance. The large footprint on her abdomen was conspicuously visible against her pristine white shirt.
Not only Molly, but even the other employees wore shocked expressions.
What happened to Miss Pearson? Did someone kick her?
Kicking the president of Keyshire Property at Keyshire Property? Which lunatic would do something like that? Are they sick of living?
Molly, who grew increasingly angry, took out her phone and dialed Thomas’ number to ask him to come down. Thomas needed to examine Olivia’s injuries and determine if she needed to go to the hospital. Other than that, Molly couldn’t let the man who kicked Olivia go unpunished! That lunatic definitely crossed the line!
Thomas was dozing off in his office when he received Molly’s call.
He froze for a whole second when he heard what Molly said. Someone hurt Olivia? Inside the company building? Who the hell was it?
The surprise only lasted for a second before Thomas rushed out of the office without a word. He didn’t even take the elevator because it was too slow. Like a streak of light, he pushed his speed to the limit and dashed down the stairs.
Bang!
Thomas pushed the door open and immediately saw Molly taking care of Olivia. He quickly approached them.
“Thomas…” Tears welled up in Olivia’s eyes as she felt both hurt and wronged.
Thomas’ eyes turned bloodshot, and a pervasive killing intent emanated from him, causing the temperature in the break room to drop.
“Ha…” Thomas took a deep breath and forcefully held his erupting anger in. His priority now was to check Olivia’s injuries.
After a thorough examination, Thomas finally let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were no internal injuries, and she was just winded from the kick. She should be fine after taking some rest.
“Find a towel and bring some hot water.”
