As if something occurred to her, Olivia suddenly looked at Jacob.
"Are you alright? Did I hit you just now? I..."
She didn't finish her sentence.
She remembered.
She was no longer the Olivia of the past!
She had so much to do that she couldn't let her friends and her loved one get involved.
Seeing her like this, Jacob grabbed her hand.
"What exactly happened to you? Can you tell me? Or do you think I can't protect you? Do you think I
can't make you feel safe, so you'd rather take it on alone? Am I such a loser to you?"
"Yes! You can't save me. You can't save the Kent family. You're just Samuel's assistant. How can you
help me? Your little bit money is nothing to me. It's nowhere near helpful, you understand?"
Olivia suddenly pushed him away, and what she said even made Nicole feel uncomfortable.
"Olivia, you're going too far!"
Her face turned cold.
Olivia knew that she was angry, but so what?
All she wanted was her anger.
"Going too far? I even..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Nicole slapped her on the face.
The slap made a crisp sound. All of them were shocked, especially Booth.
"Nicole, you hit her?"
He was especially shocked, because he knew more than anyone else that Olivia and Nicole had a
deep relationship.
"How can you hit my sister?"
Booth's eyes immediately turned red.
He wanted to get up, but there was nothing he could do.
The corner of Olivia's lips was stained with blood.
Nicole slapped her hard, but she felt better.
While Olivia felt even worse after scheming against her best friend and smearing herself and her
husband. Now, Nicole's slap actually lifted her guilt.
"Booth, stop. I owe her."
Booth was stunned for a while and then said nothing.
Nicole looked at her, the woman who had grown up with her, and said coldly, "There are some things
you can do, and some you can't! But you've done them. If you know you are wrong, you have to make
it right. But look at you now. You give no signs of repentance, and you're even talking nonsense. You
know how much Jacob loves you? Even if you don't want us to help you, or you don't want to implicate
us, it's fine, but you don't need to be so hard on yourself and us. Olivia, after all these years, you
haven't lived, have you? I think we are done now."
Nicole had never been so angry and disappointed. She even wanted to beat herself to death.
If Olivia told them her scheme, it would make the whole thing more complicated. What would Jacob
think about this?
What would Samuel do?
No one would take that scheme as a joke and let it go, especially for men.
Olivia knew that Nicole was doing this for her good, so she raised her head, her face slightly red and
swollen.
Jacob's heart ached. He then pulled Olivia over behind him and said to Nicole, "Mrs. Green, do this to
me. Olivia is weak and she can't take it."
"She can't take it? I think she can take more than that. Olivia, something bad happened to your family,
and you yourself brought it all on yourself. I know it must be hard for you. You don't want me to be
involved and implicated. I understand too, but what you have done really disappointed me. You are like
my sister. We've grown up together. You said that we should share ware and woo. You went to the
border for me, and Booth lost his legs. Why don't you tell me? Do you see me as your sister? Does a
sister only give and ask for nothing in return? Olivia, now you tell me, how can I pay back for what you
and Booth have done for me? You just think about yourself, and you think you've done what's best for
me, but in fact, you are selfish and have put me in an embarrassing position. You even made me want
to look down upon myself. Do you still think you've done this right?"
The more she said, the more she felt heartbroken. Tears streamed down from her cheeks.
Samuel gave her a piece of napkin, and turned around to look at Booth's legs.
Booth wanted to move but was stopped by Samuel.
"Don't move, especially when you have fractured bones. I've called an ambulance. They'll be here
soon."
Hearing this, Olivia almost went crazy.
"No! No ambulance. If they see Booth, they will..."
"Don't worry. As long as I'm here, I won't allow them to take him away. If that's not enough, we still have
the Don family to back us up, and also the Shaws. So, Olivia, just shut up. If you were a man, I would
have hit you."
Samuel's eyes were red. Obviously, he was not just kidding around.
He was really angry.
Jacob hadn't seen him like this for a long time. He had no idea what Olivia had done to him, so he
stood in front of Olivia to protect her.
"Mr. Green, Olivia is just worried about Booth. She didn't mean that."
"Get lost!"
Samuel's anger finally burst out.
If it was not that she was Nicole's best friend, and she didn't want Nicole to be involved, he would have
killed her.
Her scheme had made the thing between him and Nicole a little bit awkward. Just because of that, he
could have killed her a hundred times. Just try him.
The reason why he chose to endure all of this was that he cared about Nicole. But now, he felt that
anger was boiling up inside him.
Nicole knew what he was doing, so she didn't stop him.
If Samuel didn't vent his anger, she was afraid that there would be barriers between them.
Jacob was shocked by Samuel's outrage.
It had been years since he had seen Samuel like this.
"Mr. Green, I..."
"Do you want to die?"
Samuel then stared at him fiercely.
Jacob wanted to say something, but was stopped by Olivia, who pulled him and walked forward.
She looked at Samuel and said word by word, "Even if you want to kill me today, I still want to say that
you and Nicole are not right for each other. Even if I don't say, then there is someone else. Also, I can
accept anyone else's help, except yours. Samuel, even though Booth and I ended up dead in your
hand, I would not let you help me."
After she finished her sentence, she walked over to Samuel and slapped his hand off Booth's legs. Her
eyes flashed with hatred.
Samuel squinted at once.
Seeing that they were about to get into a fight, Nicole and Jacob hurriedly stepped forward to stop
them.
"Olivia, back off. Think about Booth's legs. Mr. Blair is an expert in this. He might help him stand up
again."
Jacob held her in his arms to protect her.
Nicole also pulled Samuel away, and whispered to him, "Calm down. Why are you angry with a
woman? I didn't take it seriously!"
"Then get her out of the way! Booth's legs would fall off if she doesn't have him treated.
Samuel was still outrageous, but seeing Nicole was worried, he could only control his temper.
Olivia had never liked him from the very beginning, and it took time for her to look at him differently. But
what was going on here?
Nicole also felt that something was wrong. But before she could ask, Olivia took a deep breath and
said, "Nicole, I know you see me as your best friend, and you don't want to see me and Booth die here
today. To be honest, I'm really afraid that I would implicate you. If you really want to help us, then go
abort the baby, and divorce Samuel. Then I'll listen to you for everything, even if you ask me to die."
"Olivia, you really want to die, don't you?"
Samuel felt that he could not stand her any more.
She was simply unreasonable.
He and Nicole finally had a baby to come. Why did Olivia want to meddle in?
Obviously, Nicole was dumbfounded.
She knew Olivia didn't like Samuel, but didn't they straighten things all out? Recently they had a good
time, but why would she said something like that?
Jacob also subconsciously looked at Olivia.
"Do you also want to tell me that if I want to be with you, I have to leave Mr. Green and the Green
family?"
Jacob looked straight at her.
Olivia could feel the disappointment and frustration in his eyes, but she bit her lips and said, "Yes! If
you do really want to be with me, you have to make choices. Otherwise, things won't work between us."
Hearing this, Jacob gradually let go of her, even if he was reluctantly.
His eyes turned red, and he said word by word, "Why?"
"No reason. Don't you all want to help me? You just sounded so convincing and passionate, and you
accused me of failing as a friend, and not allowing you to help me. Then tell me, would you do this to
me? I love you both, but can you leave Samuel for me? Can you?"
Olivia cried, her voice hoarse.
She looked at Nicole and Jacob, crying while smiling, "You can't, right? Then I think I am gonna ask
you to leave. We don't need your help. Get out!"
Seeing her like that, Booth reached out and hugged Olivia is his arms.
He looked at Nicole and Jacob, and said word by word, "Nicole, Jacob, if you really care about my
sister, just leave, please. Just leave us alone. Don't get in the middle of our family. I think we are done
here now."
Nicole's heart suddenly ached.
"We are done? Booth, your legs..."
"Just take it as my return for you taking care of my sister for years. Nicole, please, leave us alone."
Booth looked at her with a complicated look on his face. Olivia was crying in his arms, which made it
hurtful for everyone to see.
"Why? Why are you doing this?"
Nicole couldn't figure it out why Olivia would make such a decision, and why Booth didn't even help
them this time.
What the hell was going on?
