Chapter 17
Donald would not have the confidence to say that before.
Firstly, he had a wife, and secondly, he did not have any money in his pocket.But now, it was different.
He now had a fortune.
So what if he wanted two women to accompany him for one night? He could do anything he wanted now because he had plenty of money! The women giggled and nudged him gently.
"You're so annoying, one of them said coquettishly.After that, she leaned against him.Donald had not expected to win them over so smoothly, and he was getting even more excited.As expected, money made the world go round! He had pretended to be Langston’s brother and friend for so many years, and he could finally manage to escape it.
He was originally a little worried that the deal would be exposed, and it would not end well.
However, when the beautiful and sweet girls had hugged him, the last trace of concern in his heart disappeared.
The three of them took a taxi to a nearby hotel.
Donald had never been so excited before! The next day, he woke up at dawn.
He turned to his side on the bed, still half-asleep, but it was completely empty.
He opened his eyes and discovered that he was the only one left in the room...
‘‘They left?’’ he thought.
Donald was slightly puzzled, but when he recalled what happened last night, he got so excited again that he fell off the bed.
He snorted and lit a cigarette.
Halfway through a stick, he seemed to have thought of something.
He suddenly got up and went through his briefcase...
But there was nothing in there.
The contract with his name was gone. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
He checked his bank account again and found that the 60 million bucks he had put in there yesterday had disappeared! Donald's face instantly turned pale as he sat on the floor.
The cigarette in his hand fell on the hotel carpet and burned a hole on it.
At this moment, Donald only had one thought in his mind.
‘‘I'm finished.It's all over.’’ On her first night in the dormitory, Olivia slept well.
She even had a dream.
In her dream, she whipped Maggie and Leonard all night! Her arm hurt, but she wished she could laugh wildly at the sky.
And then, Bruce came out of nowhere and held her hand.
With a murderous expression, he demanded, "Who gave you the right to touch my family?"
Then he pinched her neck! Olivia was instantly wide awake, but her heart was still beating wildly.
If it was not for that dream, Olivia would have almost forgotten that Bruce was Leonard's uncle.
Bruce would not have let an outsider like her humiliate his family.
If she would continue dealing with Leonard in the future, Bruce, who was still willing to help her now, would become her enemy, Olivia sat up and took a few deep breaths.
‘‘Forget it, dreams are dreams” she thought.
‘‘Who knows what will happen in the future?’’
Besides, she was not that familiar with Bruce.
He had deliberately approached her several times, but if he really did become hostile to her in the future, she would not owe him anything.
After washing her face, Olivia forgot about the dream.
Seeing that she was almost late, she opened her door and walked out.
Coincidentally, Leonard, who lived next door, also came out of his room at the same time.
The two of them collided head-on.
Olivia did not look back and directly walked downstairs without saying a word.
Watching her back, Leonard frowned.
In the past, when Olivia saw him, she would definitely jump around with joy, her eyes sparkling, and would even call his name playfully.
But now...They were as good as strangers.
This silence caused Leonard to ask without thinking, "Where did you go last night?"
Last night, he returned to the dormitory one step later than Olivia.
When he got to his room, he saw Olivia leave the school through the window.
When she returned, it was already early in the morning.
When Olivia heard this, she did not even look back.
"It's none of your business,’’ she replied.
"You…”
Leonard wanted to say something else, but he saw Maggie carrying breakfast into the apartment.
She raised her head and smiled at him.
"Leonard, come down for breakfast! I have your favorite egg tart! I've been waiting in line for a long time to buy it!"
At this point, Olivia was already far away.
Leonard could only swallow what he wanted to say.
However, Maggie was best at observing people's expressions.
Seeing that he was not in a good mood, she tilted her head.
"What's wrong, Leonard?" she asked with concern.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
After thinking for a while, Leonard could not help but ask, "Maggie, does your cousin often go out at night?"
"Uh..."
Maggie was stunned and immediately became vigilant.
To be honest, this was the first time Leonard had asked her about Olivia.
This was not a good sign...Maggie's eyes lit up.
She hesitated, her face now filled with frustration.
"Yes, Olivia often goes out at night,’ she lied.
"I would always tell her not to, but she doesn't listen to me.She always drinks with sketchy people outside.I'm really worried that she might get taken advantage of someday..."
The Tubmans had always been conservative and traditional; they could not tolerate something like this.
Sure enough, after Maggie finished speaking, Leonard's scowl deepened.
"Why did you ask, Leonard?"
"Nothing much.I was just asking."
Seeing Leonard's disdain, Maggie smirked inwardly.
If Olivia worked hard, she worked harder.
As long as she was here, Olivia would never have a chance with Leonard! The next few days passed peacefully.
By Friday, Olivia could finally leave school and go home.
Their driver was already at the gates when she went out.
And when she and Maggie returned home, Madam Enya had already prepared dishes for them in the kitchen.
"You're back!" Madam Enya exclaimed.
She looked at her daughter, a little distressed and worried.
"No one bullied you in school, right? Are you eating good?"
She was treating Olivia like a child! Olivia did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Don't worry, Mom, I'm fine.Don't worry.”
"That's good.Studying is important, but don't put too much pressure on yourself"
Madam Enya reminded her.
"Remember to take good care of your body"
When Oscar saw his sister, he immediately approached her.
"Sister, I have a competition next week,’’ he whispered to her.
"Do you want to come?"
"Of course,'' Olivia responded.
"What competition?"
She thought that it was at most a Mathematics Olympics or a composition contest, but she did not expect Oscar's answer.
"Hacker Ranking Tournament."
Hearing that, Olivia almost jumped up from the sofa.
‘When did he even learn to hack?’ Oscar quickly pressed his hand to her mouth.
"This is a secret, you can't tell Mom and Dad!"
"Sure” Olivia said immediately, still astonished.
When Oscar finally took his hand from her mouth, he decided to drop another bomb.
"Right...So last time Leonard's computer got hacked, it was because of me..."
