“What can I do for you?”
Phil was quite rude, but Nicole didn’t mind at all.
“How much do you know about what happened to Olivia?”
“Nothing.”
Phil stared at Nicole coldly and gave her an unreasonable answer.
Nicole slightly squinted.
“As long as you are willing to tell me, you can ask for anything. No matter if you want to be the A-list actor in the entertainment business or you want money, as you name it, I’ll satisfy you.”
That was the best condition that Nicole could offer.
Although the entertainment business was quite messy, as long as she wished, she could make anyone popular.
However, Phil sneered and said, “Think you can bribe me? Unfortunately, I don’t need anything.”
“Don’t you?”
Nicole pressed her lips and stared at Phil, and suddenly she understood something.
“Do you like Olivia?”
Phil’s face was stiffened. A trace of awkwardness flashed through his face.
“She’s my Sugar Mommy. Isn’t it normal I like her?”
Probably it was because Nicole was gazing at him, Phil suddenly didn’t dare to look into her eyes.
Nicole had a complicated feeling in her heart.
She knew how nice Olivia was, but Olivia was still a married woman now, so she couldn’t do anything out of the norm, even she wasn’t the one who had made a mistake.
“You’d better forget about it. I can let you stay beside her, but I can also make you leave her instantly and make you unable to see her anymore.”
“Who do you think you are?”
“I’m Olivia’s family!”
Nicole squinted, her sharp gaze shooting out directly. Phil had no guts to meet her eyes at all.
“Ms. Kent is an independent person. No matter what she does, she has her own principles.”
“But right now, she’s still a married woman. No matter what has happened between Jacob Brown and her, she’s still his wife. If you brought her any negative impact, I can make you vanish in a blink silently. Believe it or not? You can try me!”
Nicole felt that probably it was because he had been retired for a long time so that others all misunderstood Jacob was the only backer behind Olivia.
Olivia had her besties and family as well.
Nicole believed that she was one of them.
No matter what Olivia wanted to hide from her now, for Nicole, Olivia was irreplaceable.
Obviously, Phil didn’t expect that Nicole could emanate such a strong aura. He was startled and became less arrogant.
Seeing that the effect that she wanted had been achieved, Nicole withdrew her gaze and asked, “What sickness does Olivia have now? You can’t tell me you have no idea.”
Phil squinted slightly as if he was thinking. Nicole didn’t urge him.
After a long while, he finally thought it over and sat down opposite Nicole.
Nicole poured a glass of water for him and said in a much gentle tone, “If you treat Olivia truly well, you shouldn’t help her hide it. For some sicknesses, the earlier the treatment is taken, the more effective it will be. If you kept hiding it, her sickness would become more serious. In that case, even if we want to help her, it might not work.”
Probably it was because Nicole’s tone became gentler, or Phil truly cared about Olivia. He whispered, “Can you not let Ms. Kent know I like her?”
“Ehn?”
“Did you mean Olivia was sick at that time?”
“Yes. Before that happened, she said she had a choking sensation in her chest and she didn’t feel well. She always coughs. I thought it was a sequela after she fell from the wire, so I asked her to go to the hospital for a checkup. However, Ms. Kent refused.”
“Wait. Did you say Olivia had fallen from the wire?”
Nicole looked nervous immediately.
“Yes.”
Phil’s word made Nicole’s eyes cold.
“Did Jacob Brown know about this incident?”
“We called Mr. Brown, but a woman answered the call. She said Mr. Brown was in a meeting and he couldn’t answer the call. She would pass the message to him. However, after Ms. Kent had gone through the checkup and left the hospital, Mr. Brown still hadn’t called her.”
Phil was quite angry.
Nicole guessed that the woman who answered the call must be Jacob’s assistant, Julissa.
If that woman had any evil intention to Jacob, she wouldn’t give any chance to let Olivia and Jacob be together.
Nicole squinted immediately.
It seemed Julissa secretly played a lot of dirty tricks on Olivia.
“How did Olivia feel at that time?”
“Ms. Kent was in an extremely bad mood. Since then, she has been coughing all the time. We all believe it was because she feels quite frustrated about this matter. Later, she found Mr. Brown cheated on her, so she became more depressed.”
Nicole’s eyes became more darkened.
Inwardly, she cursed Jacob.
