Evelyn couldn't refuse. Jonathan's actions last night left her with an unforgettable fear.
In front of everyone, Evelyn apologized to Olivia, crying, "I'm so sorry. It was all my fault last night. I was confused. Please forgive me. We used to be best friends. You must forgive me, or I'll be doomed. Boo hoo hoo…"
Evelyn started crying genuinely, out of real fear.
"What's going on? Isn't the Huxley family here to demand justice?"
"Yeah, I don't understand. Why is Evelyn apologizing to Olivia and asking for forgiveness? What happened?"
Sophia and Chad were also shocked, standing in the crowd.
They thought Olivia would be kicked out for offending the Huxley family. Then, they could get rid of Jonathan and join the project of the Roberts family! But now, the Huxley family was apologizing! Why is Olivia always so lucky?
Meanwhile, Lawrence clapped, and a dozen men opened boxes filled with valuable gifts. Gold, silver, jewels, and rare items.
Everyone in the Harrison family was drawn to these gifts.
"Mrs. Parker, this is our compensation. My daughter was young. Please forgive her this time." Lawrence bowed, losing all his usual dignity.
Olivia was still confused. Looking at Evelyn, she felt her anger fade and quickly said, "Evelyn, get up. I forgive you."
Hearing this, Evelyn stood up, crying and thanking Olivia. She didn't have to die! Jonathan had made it clear that without Olivia's forgiveness, both Evelyn and the Huxley family would be ruined!
"Mr. Huxley, why did you suddenly come to apologize? Who sent you?" Olivia found it strange and asked quickly, thinking of someone.
Lawrence hesitated, but Evelyn quickly said, "Of course, it was Jon—"
"Stop talking nonsense! Stand aside!" Lawrence interrupted, glaring at her, making her silent.
Then, Lawrence smiled flatteringly at Olivia, "Mrs. Parker, it was a misunderstanding. This was Evelyn's fault. As her father, I couldn't see you punished for her mistake, so I brought her to apologize."
Olivia was suspicious. She knew what Evelyn was like. This was too strange. But she didn't ask more.
Lawrence apologized again and then left with Evelyn.
As soon as they left, the company's top executives and Harrison family members started discussing loudly.
"What happened? Why would Lawrence bring his daughter to apologize?"
"I don't get it, but as long as they aren't blaming our family, it's fine."
"Hmm! Even so, Olivia is still a jinx! She should be kicked out of the Harrison family!"
Samuel glared coldly at Olivia, "Olivia, behave yourself. Don't do anything to damage or disgrace the Harrison family again! Today, I'll let it go for Mr. Huxley's sake!" With that, Samuel left with his people.
Sophia stood in the crowd, glaring venomously at Olivia but said nothing and left.
Everyone soon dispersed, and Olivia finally took a breath and went home.
As she entered, she saw Jonathan brushing Ruby's hair. The scene was very touching. Olivia was moved but knew her feelings for Jonathan were more gratitude than love.
She walked over and asked, "Jonathan, Lawrence came to apologize with Evelyn. Was it because of you?"
Jonathan calmly shook his head, "I don't know. Did they apologize? Maybe they realized their mistake. Did they trouble you?"
Seeing Jonathan's puzzled look, Olivia's doubts disappeared. She sat down, feeling aggrieved, "No, but everyone at the company thinks I'm a jinx. They think I bring bad things to the Harrison family. Jonathan, am I really a jinx?"
Jonathan smiled gently at Olivia, "No, you're the most beautiful and kind woman. Let them say what they want. Just be yourself."
Olivia nodded, then noticed Ruby's messy hair and got a little bit angry, "Oh no, that's not how we brush hair. Let me do it."
Jonathan looked puzzled, seeing Ruby's messy hair and her sad face. He said, "I'm sorry, I've never learned this." He pinched Ruby's round cheeks.

Meanwhile, Sophia arrived at the Newton Group, sitting in Mark's office, her face cold, "Mark! What did you find out? Are we just letting this go? Olivia's situation in the Harrison family is getting better. We must kick her out soon!"
Mark shook his head, "I found out Mason was arrested because of Jonathan! That damn guy ruins my plans! I won't let him go! Also, Mr. Campbell might have blamed me for Mason's arrest and sent someone to beat me. I don't think it's serious. He should be satisfied now. I sent him a gift, so he shouldn't hold a grudge. But to deal with Jonathan and that Olivia, we need take some other measures."
He smiled sinisterly, thinking of some plans.
Sophia quickly asked, "Have you thought of a way? Tell me!"
Mark laughed slyly, "Remember the Stewart family?"
"The Stewart family? You mean Bethany?" Sophia asked.
