Chapter 538: Chapter 533: I Admit, I’m In Love With You_1
“Other people? Who?” Olivia Sawyer said, wearing an innocent grin. “It can’t be me, can it?”
“What if it is?”
“That would be ridiculous.”
With one sentence, Olivia Sawyer shattered all of Jeremy Norman’s illusions.
“When I pursued you initially, you never responded. You’ve always regarded me as a spare tire, a friend, even a sibling, never a normal girl. And now you say you like me…” Olivia snorted lightly, “Do you think I’d believe that?”
Jeremy Norman lowered his eyes and asked, “Why wouldn’t you?”
“Even if I did believe…”. Olivia paused, “Why should I accept it?”
“I’m doing fine now, I haven’t planned on getting married or having children. If I want to date, I’ll find a younger guy, I’m financially independent, I don’t rely on anyone. Besides, apart from our initial feelings for each other, what else is there to reminisce about?”
“Aren’t those past feelings enough for us to be together again?” Jeremy Norman’s eyes were fiercely red as he advanced a step, driving Olivia into a corner, “Olivia Sawyer, I admit I messed up, I confess I love you, are you satisfied?”
“And furthermore…” Jeremy Norman held her chin, “Those so-called younger guys you mentioned, they might not measure up to me in certain aspects.”
Olivia widened her eyes, her face flushed to the tips of her ears.
She forcefully brushed off Jeremy Norman’s hand and blurted out in embarrassment, “Jeremy Norman, you’re shameless!”
Olivia looked around and upon noticing no one was nearby, she shot him a stern look and then ran upstairs.
Jeremy Norman glanced at his hand. The warmth from her touch was still there, but they could never return to the past.
He laughed at himself, bitterly.
Molly Walker said he couldn’t get through his own heart, he only realized now how true her words were.
He looked up at the staircase above and slowly proceeded to follow.
After he had left, the reporters downstairs who had their cameras ready had faces full of excitement.
“Big news, big news!”
Now, he could use this news to become famous!
At the entrance to the ICU, Olivia fixed her mask and gently knocked on the door.
After the door was opened, Olivia quickly walked in.
Upon seeing the red marks on Molly Walker’s neck, Olivia was so angry that her teeth itched, “Bloody Ethan Hopkins, he’s just like Gillian Thompson. They are all mad dogs.”
“Choking someone in front of so many people, Ethan Hopkins deserves to die.”
Molly Walker never anticipated Olivia would come to visit.
In her memory, Olivia was a cool and easy-going girl, radiant and attractive.
This was her first time witnessing Olivia in such an angry state.
“How do you want to get revenge?” Olivia asked.
Molly Walker smiled: “I’m already making plans.”
“Those photos?” Olivia glare at her in disappointment, “What kind of revenge is that? Gillian Thompson, with her love-stuck brain, would never believe them. If you ask me, you should get some compromising photos of him that will ruin his name.”
“Even compromising photos, Gillian Thompson wouldn’t believe. What I want is not for her to believe or not.” She wants Nicholas Thompson to stop helping Gillian.
As long as Nicholas withdraws, Gillian will lose her support. If she moves against Thompson Group, she herself will solve it without mercy.
If Nicholas doesn’t interfere, then she can freely deal with Gillian and Ethan Hopkins.
Seeing that she seems to have made a decision, Olivia no longer insists on seeking justice for her.
“Since you have your own plan, I won’t meddle. Oh right, I came here to invite you to my birthday party.” Olivia took out the invitation from her bag and handed it to her, “I always kept my birthdays low-key, but this year, to celebrate my ‘rebirth’, I want to make it grand. However, there won’t be many people, just close friends. You are my benefactor, if possible, you must come.”
Molly Walker accepted the invitation, “Don’t worry, I will definitely come.”
Olivia heaved a sigh of relief and then said with a smile, “I know you are very busy, but this birthday party will only be meaningful with you there.”
“Will Jeremy Norman be there?” asked Molly Walker.
Olivia paused and responded awkwardly, “No… No, I didn’t invite him. Anyway, he… well, he’s not important.”
“If he’s insignificant, why did you specifically leave him out?” Molly Walker thought about the recent rumors of Olivia dating a young heartthrob, and quietly asked, “Has Jeremy Norman confessed his feelings to you yet? Can’t you see? It’s been you he’s liked all along.”
“I’m just a dream of his.”
How can the cold moonlight compare to the companionship of someone close? She had long realized that Jeremy Norman saw her more as a spiritual sustenance, while what he had for Olivia Sawyer was a love he couldn’t let go.
“It has nothing to do with you.” Olivia Sawyer dropped her gaze, “I don’t want to be in love.”
Let alone with Jeremy Norman.
“Are you afraid we won’t be friends anymore?”
Olivia Sawyer sighed and closed her mouth, not speaking a word.
Molly Walker laughed, suddenly understanding.
These two have always been chasing each other around. Suddenly, if it changed, it surely would feel strange.
The one who was vigorously pursued suddenly turned around, and the pursuer would surely doubt the sincerity of these feelings.
Just then, Olivia Sawyer’s cell phone rang, and it was her agent’s special ring tone.
Olivia Sawyer picked up the video call, and her agent’s anxious voice came through: “Olivia, something has happened. You and Jeremy Norman are trending.”
Olivia Sawyer’s expression was calm: “Doesn’t the whole of Orientopia already know about my old stories with him?”
When she was pursuing Jeremy Norman, she was always very ostentatious, gaining many fans because of it, but others disparaged her as a ‘dog licker’, becoming her haters.
For such small news, both she and Jeremy Norman have long stopped caring.
“It’s not about your small matters, but… he said that about your younger brother not being as good as him in certain areas…”
The agent was humming and hawing, and Olivia Sawyer’s face suddenly changed.
She tapped on the messages sent by her agent, and all were criticizing Jeremy Norman as a scumbag.
“This guy once said he wanted to be the father of Molly Walker’s child, and now he’s come back to eat the grass he already spit out. Despicable!”
“Thank goodness Olivia Sawyer rejected him. I’d die of disgust.”
“Our Olivia, please don’t go back on your word, or I would definitely unfollow you and start hating you!”
…
Looking at these comments, Olivia Sawyer was confused.
She didn’t expect that, despite being careful today, she had still been caught by paparazzi.
Her agent wasn’t too worried, since all the comments were in her favor, but Jeremy Norman had it terrible, he was almost cyber-lynched.
Thinking about the recent situation of the Norman family, Olivia Sawyer’s heart twisted up.
Molly Walker also heard about this gossip. Out of curiosity, she checked the social platform and started to consume today’s “big melon” from the entertainment industry.
The paparazzi shot very clearly this time, perhaps because Jeremy Norman was an ordinary person, so they didn’t have any restraint, and the video along with the audio was clearly posted.
If she didn’t know the ins and outs of the story, perhaps she would also think that Jeremy Norman was a scumbag.
But, Jeremy Norman, from start to finish, just regarded her as a good friend. He was wrong because he didn’t realize his true feelings.
“I have something else to do, I’ll go back first…”
Thinking about the trouble Jeremy Norman might face due to this, Olivia Sawyer looked a bit dazed.
She had experienced cyber-bullying. She wasn’t afraid of this wave of cyber-bullying, but Jeremy Norman was just an ordinary person. The whole Norman family might not be able to withstand this kind of news.
Sunnydale high-end villa district.
Just as Jeremy Norman entered the gate of his residence, he was surrounded by a group of reporters.
“Mr. Norman, what do you think of this issue of ‘eating the grass you have spat out’?”
“You are so confident that you are better in bed than others, is that just bluffing or based on facts?”
“After being dumped by Olivia Sawyer, will you continue pursuing her or will you give up now?”
Looking at the reporters surrounding him, Jeremy Norman was expressionless.
He had dealt with journalists before, but this was the first time dealing with paparazzi.
Each of their questions was loaded with humiliation, leaving him unable to retort.
