Chapter 419: Thank Him Properly
In the car across the street, the driver noticed the sudden drop in air pressure inside the vehicle, his palms sweating.
After a long while, Victor finally withdrew his gaze from the hotel entrance and coldly ordered, “Let’s go back.”
The driver acknowledged and slowly started the car, heading towards the hotel where Victor was staying.
On the other side, Olivia was completely unaware of Victor’s presence and got into Harold’s passenger seat.
As soon as she got in the car, Olivia politely took off her coat and placed it on the back seat.
Harold asked for the hotel address and slowly started the car.
There was silence in the car for a long time. Olivia stared out at the night, lost in thought.
Victor’s attitude just now was really hard to decipher…
“You just left like that. What about Mr. Leer?” Harold suddenly spoke.
Olivia snapped out of her daze and frowned in confusion, “What does my leaving have to do with him?”
Harold glanced at her through the rearview mirror, “Wasn’t it Mr. Leer who brought you here?”
Although Olivia had said earlier that they just ran into each other downstairs, Harold had guessed the truth when he realized Olivia hadn’t driven herself.
Hearing this, Olivia was momentarily stunned. She turned her head and met Harold’s knowing gaze.
Their eyes met, and Olivia smiled helplessly, “Indeed, but we just happened to meet at the styling place. It’s not what you think.”
Harold nodded, “Does Mr. Leer know you left?”
Olivia thought to herself that the man had left even earlier than she did, so how could he know when she left the banquet?
“No idea,” she replied succinctly and then changed the topic, “By the way, senior, why are you here?”
Harold knew she didn’t want to continue talking about it, so he didn’t press further. He smiled and said, “Mr. Shelby sent me an invitation. I wasn’t planning on coming, but knowing that Mr. Lee would be in Sylvania City and likely attending, I decided to come over. I didn’t expect to run into you.”
Olivia nodded absentmindedly.
“How are things at your research institute?” Harold asked with concern.
Olivia replied, “I came here for matters related to the research institute. Mr. Shelby has a branch in Seacrest that can collaborate with us. We’ve already discussed it and will sign the contract tomorrow. After that, I’ll head back.”
Harold frowned slightly, “How did you get in touch with Mr. Shelby?”
As far as he knew, Olivia had been looking for partners within Seacrest. Mr. Shelby was far away in Sylvania City. How did they connect? Moreover, Mr. Shelby seemed to value Olivia highly.
Olivia explained, “Mr. Whitaker helped introduce us. Speaking of which, I need to thank him properly.”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Hearing that Isaac was involved, Harold nodded understandingly, “The Whitaker Group indeed has good relations with the Chan’s. However, the Whitaker Group seems to have even better relations with Leer’s Group. By helping you connect with the Chan’s, Mr. Whitaker is essentially opposing Leer’s Group. If Mrs. Blackwood finds out, this won’t be easily resolved.”
Hearing this, Olivia couldn’t help but frown, feeling worried for Isaac as well.
Although Isaac had assured her that Leer’s Group wouldn’t notice this matter, both of them knew there was still some risk of it being detected.
But since she had come this far, Olivia didn’t want to give up easily.
After all, Lily’s goal was merely to drive her away. Once she resolved the research institute’s issues and left Seacrest, Lily probably wouldn’t trouble anyone else.
