99 Bloody Lashes And A Bullet To His Hear novel Chapter 82

Seeing that she really wasn’t upset, Jennifer finally felt relieved. She sat down beside her and, after a long pause, hesitated before asking, “Olivia, what exactly is going on between you and my brother? Is he the boyfriend you told

me about?”

Olivia shook her head and was about to dismiss the question when Jennifer interrupted her. “Don’t try to trick me. My brother doesn’t lack secretaries. He wouldn’t come all the way here to snatch a bride for a secretary.”

Olivia paused, looking at Jennifer’s uneasy expression as she waited for an answer. Finally, she sighed and decided not to hide the truth any longer. “Yes, I’ve been dating him for seven years.”

“Seven years!” Jennifer’s voice suddenly rose. She had always known that Olivia had a long–term, unseen boyfriend but never knew the exact time. Now, learning this, she counted the years on her fingers, her eyes wide in surprise. “I’ve only known you for seven years. Did you two start dating right after you met? How did it happen? Did he

confess to you? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Olivia was startled by her sudden outburst and helplessly patted her shoulder. “Stop overreacting. And you’re asking so many questions; where do I even begin?”

Jennifer wasn’t going to let her off so easily. She put her hands on her hips and glared at her. “Start from the beginning!”

After hearing their story, Jennifer was nearly driven to faint from anger.

Jennifer had never been completely unaware of their situation. After all, she had seen Joe’s admiration for Sophia and knew that Olivia resembled Sophia. So, when they met for the first time, and Joe indirectly asked her about Olivia, she had sternly warned him not to have improper thoughts about her.

She considered Olivia her best friend, so she couldn’t just stand by and watch her friend fall into a trap. Although they interacted as friends, and even though Joe treated her a bit differently, she had always assumed it was because of Olivia’s face that she had earned such preferential treatment. She turned a blind eye, never giving it much

thought.

What she never expected was that by being so indulgent, she had wasted seven years of Olivia’s youth.
