Chapter 10
Olivia ignored Dylan and inwered her head to keep eating
Dylan walked up with a grim face and yanked her wrist hard, his voice sharp. “Answer me.)
Who was that guy you were with tonight?”
Olivia twisted her wrist and pulled it back with ease. “Who I was with has nothing to do with you. Mind your own business!
Dylan’s face darkened with rage. “Do you have no decency at all? The second you landed in a foreign country, the first thing you did was shack up with some random guy?
“I hadn’t called the cops in time, would you have already cheated on me?“
Olivia glanced at him blandly. “So what? What would you call decency then? Me puietly going along with your plan, letting you send a different guy to sleep with me every day is that what counts as decency to you?”
Dylan pursed his lips tightly. His face turned pale for a second, then flushed red with fury.
Olivia scoffed, “Don’t act like I did something horrible to you. Let’s get one thing straight–it was your idea for me to go find a man.
“Even if you hadn’t said that, I still wouldn’t owe you anything if I did. You’ve been cheating on me for three years. If I return the favor now, it’s just fair game.”
She paused, then added with a half–smile, “Why are you suddenly freaking out about me being with another guy? Don’t tell me you’ve actually fallen in
love with me.”
Dylan said with disgust, “Don’t flatter yourself Chloe’s the only woman I’ve ever loved. I would never fall for you.”
Olivia asked, “Then why did it piss you off so much when you found out I was with another man?”
Dylan’s eyes shifted. He quickly came up with a reason. “I’m here to make you apologize to Chloe and her friend. You picked on Chloe. Until you make it right, don’t even think about having fun out there.”
Even he started to believe it. He told himself the reason he got so angry when he found out Olivia had actually gone to see another man was because Chloe was still upset, and Olivia didn’t deserve to enjoy anything yet
Olivia let out a cold laugh. “When did I ever upset Chloe? And as for her friend, she started it, I defended myself. Why should I be the one to apologize!”
Dylan said, “Chloe’s sad because of you. That’s all your fault. Kaitlyn is her friend. Hitting her is disrespecting Chloe, which means you’re humiliating Chloe. So yes, you need to apologize.
que with you. I’m ordering you. You’re coming back to the bar with me right now to “I know you’ve always been sharp with words, but I’m not here to argue apologize to Chloe. Whatever she tells you to do, you do it, until she’s satisfied.”
Olivia rolled her eyes. “Not going. Chloe’s your precious little darling. If you want to pamper her, go do it yourself. I have no obligation to help you coax
Dylan stared at her coldly. “If you don’t apologize, starting next month I’m stopping the interest payments on the Kaur family’s bank debt. Think it over before you answer.”
He was sure she’d give in. After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Olivia clenched her fists, her expression stormy Dylan knew exactly where to hit her. He was using the Kaur family to threaten her.
She took a deep breath, forced down her emotions, and stood up to follow.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Dylan neered with contempt and thought, “She’s still the same as ever. She’d sell her own soul if the price was right”

two of them stayed silent on the way back: When they returned to the private room at the bandova ump Chlor others, her eyeshed and swollen like she’d just been trying
The moment she saw Dylan and Olivia walk in, Chloe lowered her gaze with a look of sorrow, and tears begin to fall apain. Soeing the girl he loved looking so wronged, Dylan Immediately stepped forward. The others around Chine quickly made way
Dylan sat down next to Chloe, reached out to pull her into his arms, and gently asked, “Why are you crying? Who upset you?”
Chloe pushed him away. Her tearful, delicate voice sounded like she was pouting as she sobbed, “Go away. That’s none of your business. You left mat go find Olivia. If you want to be with her, then go ahead. Just leave me alone?
Dylan realized he’d hurt Chloe by pushing her aside earlier when he rushed off to find Olivia
He said apologetically. “I was in such a hurry to get via to come apologize to you that I didn’t explain things to you before leaving. I made you feel ignored, and that was my fault.
“I’ve brought her back now. Let her apologize first, and then I’ll take you shopping for a bag to make it up to you
Chloe immediately stopped crying and smiled, burying her face in his chest and wrapping her arms around him. “I knew you wouldn’t leave me. So you were going to get Olivia to apologize to me. Thank you, baby, I’m so lucky to have you.”
A soft smile tugged at Dylan’s lips. When he looked up and glanced at Olivia, seeing the blank expression on her face made his chest tighten with imitation for no reason.
That irritation turned into impatience in his tone. “What are you standing there for? Come over and apologe to Chloe.”
He then turned to Chloe, his voice softening “Chloe, just tell me how you want her to apologize. With me here, no matter what you ask for, she wouldn’t dare say no.”
Chloe put on a gracious look. “I don’t have any demands. As long as she sincerely apologizes to me, that’s enough. But she hit Kaitlyn. Olivia needs to apologize to her however Kaitlyn wants.”
Dylan nodded. “Alright. That’s fair.”
Kaitlyn looked at Olivia with smug arrogance. “Come over here right now and get on your knees to apologize. Then lick my shoes clean with your tongue.
“They got dirty when you knocked me over. You’re responsible for cleaning them. Don’t think I’m picking on you on purpose.”
Chloe quietly smiled, “Olivia, just do what Kaitlyn says and apologize. She’s not being unreasonable. If she really wanted to press charges, you hitting her is assault. You’d be arrested and thrown in jail”
Kaitlyn smirked triumphantly, “Exactly. I’m only letting this go because of Chloe. Telling you to kneel and lick my shoes is already me being generous. Don’t be ungrateful.”
Dylan stared hard at Olivia. If she’d just ask him for help, maybe he’d step in.
But Olivia didn’t even glance his way. She walked forward expressionless, then grabbed Chloe and Kaitlyn by the hair, one hand on each
With a loud thud, the two of their heads slammed into each other. They were instantly dazed, unable to think
Olivia sneered, “You just love bullying people, hul give you a taste of your own medicine.”
Still gripping their hair, she smashed their heads together again and again, the crisp sound ringing out.
By the time Olivia let go, Chloe and Kaitlyn collapsed to the floor, their eyes blank and dazed, though they hadn’t passed out.
She still knew her limits. The force she used was just right–enough to leave them stunned but not cause real damage.
Chapter 10
Olivia asked, “Anyone else wanna give it a try? While I’m Milt here, I might as well be generous and help the rest of you aspartan
Everyone avoided her gaze, too afraid to even breathe, Seeing that, Olivia let out a cold laugh and turned to leave,
Dylan shouted furiously, “Get back here. I brought you here to apologize, and you go even further and hurt Chice?
You think I was joking when i warned you earlier? If you darn walk out that door, I’ll make sure the entire Kaur family ends up in prison together d
month.”
