Olivia didn't say anything.
As for Mateo, she already took him as a stranger from the moment he left her.
A man who did not trust her and only cared about money was not worth being sad about. Moreover, now that Mateo doted on Yasmin in every way possible, it was enough to prove that he was a jerk.
"Miss Quik, if you need help, I can..."
Olivia suddenly smiled, revealing shallow dimples, and stared at him with sparkling eyes. "Are you pitying me?"
"You don't need anyone's pity," Hudson chuckled.
She was such a beautiful and intelligent woman. What a fool Mateo was to abandon her!
"You are one of a kind," Hudson said with a smile.
A strange feeling flashed through Olivia's heart. This man saved her at a critical moment, and he was frank. It was impossible not to have a good impression of him.
"Aren't you afraid that I will tell the media these words? I believe the noble ladies must want to know what kind of women you like." Olivia's expression was indifferent. If she sold his gossip to the noble ladies, she would definitely ask for a high price.
"Will you?" Hudson behaved as if he fully trusted her.
Olivia couldn't help but think a lot. Would she be in a different place today if Mateo or Eason could trust her back then? It was bizarre. How could the words that Hudson said pierce into her heart?
Things suddenly became clear to her.
Trust was unconditional.
A stranger can trust me. Why can't my biological father and lover, who once swore to love me, give me trust? How ironic!
Olivia turned her head and looked out the window, her tears almost flowing out. She thought there was no need for any explanation as long as she thought it through. However, what Hudson said today enlightened her.
People were indeed different!
The car arrived at its destination. In fact, this was not the destination. It was still three kilometers away from Sheila's garden house.
The breeze at midnight was cold and piercing.
Olivia wrapped herself in a coat and restrained all her emotions. She just wanted to go home to her kid.
Hudson looked at the back of the woman and whispered to the driver, "Follow her quietly. Don't be discovered."
It was too late for a woman to go back safely. He was worried.
"Isn't this Miss Quik's home?" The driver looked at the building, puzzled.
Hudson did not say much.
Olivia maintained a steady pace and slowly walked home, thinking about the current situation in her mind. The economic dispute case had to continue, and Jessica was in danger, so she could not ignore it. The enmity between the two families had to be settled, or else Yasmin would make the first move.
As for Hudson's help today, it could be regarded as a businessman's charity.
She walked slowly and finally arrived at the door. Sheila rushed over anxiously and hugged her.
"Where did you go? My brother checked the surveillance camera but didn't know where you went. You almost scared me to death! If I had known, I wouldn't have taken you to Nightfall Club." Sheila blamed herself for not protecting her.
"Are you alright?" Olivia also breathed a sigh of relief.
"My brother is Mark Keats. Nobody in this city dares to bully me!"
The man behind her suddenly coughed. "Next time, don't go to a place like Nightfall Club. You have no bodyguard with you. What if something happened to you?" His deep voice was hoarse and sexy.
"Mr. Keats, I'm really sorry to trouble you."
Olivia didn't see Mark often, but she knew from Sheila that Mark shouldered a lot of responsibility as the family's heir.
She wondered if Sheila had been scolded by her brother. Mark had been a calm and decisive person since he was a child, always the one for people to rely on. However, his face was very sullen right now, and he was angry.
Olivia thought that Mark would scold her, but he did not.
"Liv, next time, you must think about the consequences before you take any action. No matter what decision you make, you must first protect yourself." Mark warned her.
Sheila stuck out her tongue like a child who had not grown up.
"Mark, you are so long-winded. Don't do this to my friend too!"
"If something happened to Liv, what are you gonna do, huh?" Mark rolled his eyes at her and facepalmed. "Don't worry. The video record has also been deleted. No one will find trouble with you."
Olivia breathed a sigh of relief. Mark was invincible! No wonder Sheila boasted so much. It turned out that she had a strong backer.
"Let's put aside the grudge between you and the Quik and Unwyn families for now. We can't rush it."
As Mark thus suggested, he took out a mobile phone and handed it to Olivia carefully.
"Take this mobile with you. There is my personal phone number on it. You can contact me at any time." Mark dropped the phone and left coolly.
Sheila angrily looked at Mark's burly figure and pulled Olivia into the door. "My brother taught me a good lesson before you came back. He rushed to Nightfall Club but did not see you. He almost slapped me. This time, I was careless. I'm sorry."
"What are you talking about? You don't need to apologize to me!" Olivia was very grateful to her.
Sheila revealed a smile, "Good, can you teach me the moves you did at Nightfall Club tonight? You were shining!" There was worship in Sheila's eyes.
"Alright. Everything I have is yours. As long as you are willing to try, I'd love to teach you!"
The hospital ward.
Yasmin felt pain all over her body. Lillian sat beside her and comforted her, "Mateo will come later. Don't be too sad."
"If he was willing to look at me, would I need to go to Nightfall Club to relieve my boredom? Mom, I feel that Mateo doesn't love me at all. He still has that b***h in his heart. Now that she is back, will Mateo leave me?" Yasmin gnashed her teeth in hatred.
"She came back, but how many days can she stay? She is an unkillable cockroach!" Lillian shook her head.
"That wretched girl from the Keats family has been protecting her all this time. Even her brother, Mark, was alarmed. You didn't see the look in Mark's eyes as he stared at me. He wanted to kill me." Yasmin was scared.
"The Keats family is in power in Washington. You must not act rashly. It was not easy to have our current status. Don't act on impulse." Lillian had a serious expression.
"Then what should we do? Olivia must be living with Sheila now. Do we still have a chance to take revenge?" Yasmin's eyes were full of viciousness.
"Olivia is not a Keats, after all. She can't be with Sheila on 7/24." Lillian whispered.
When they were plotting, they didn’t realize a man was standing outside... Mateo had just arrived and heard his wife and mother-in-law talking. Instead of coming in, he instantly turned around and left.
