Chapter 197
Olivia knew that in front of Gina, quibbling was useless. So she told the truth. “I followed Cathy here.”
Gina was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Olivia to know Cathy.
Gina said calmly to the guard, “Bring Cathy over.”
“Okay.”
For your
Cathy walked into the surveillance room with a smile on her face. “Miss Miller, what can I do for
Before she could finish her sentence, she noticed Olivia standing in the corner.
“Olivia? Why are you here?”
Olivia did not say anything.
Gina answered for her, “She said that she followed you here. Did you bring her here?”
Cathy quickly shook her head. She recalled Gina’s warning not to bring anyone to medicine land, so she kept the location a secret from everyone. Andy had asked her about it the night before, but she chose not to tell him.
way that she would tell Olivia.
There was no way
“Olivia, did you follow me?” Cathy couldn’t believe it.
Olivia confessed, “Yes, I followed you here. I was really curious. You mentioned having a good job, so I wanted to come and see for mysell.”
Cathy was taken by surprise and felt a bit nervous. She was afraid that Gina might be upset.
“Miss Miller, I swear I didn’t tell Olivia about where I work. I had no idea she followed me here. I’m truly sorry,” Cathy said, feeling a bit flustered.
“Are you friends?” Gina asked.
Olivia’s expression finally changed slightly.
Cathy did not hesitate. “Yes.”
She looked at Olivia. “Has Olivia been arrested? Miss Miller, she was probably just curious. She’s not a bad person. Can you release her?”
Il Cathy didn’t acknowledge Olivia as her friend and kept her distance, Gina might have thought that Cathy was not as genuine as she appeared. However, Cathy didn’t try to conceal or avoid the fact. This made Gina believe that Cathy was truly a sincere person.
“You may leave,” Gina said to Olivia.
The guard released Olivia.
Olivia hastened her steps and departed. Cathy looked at Olivia’s retreating figure and remarked, “Miss Miller, I will be back in a moment.”
Cathy caught up to Olivia. “Olivia, wait a minute.”)
Olivia stopped in her tracks. She was already prepared for Cathy’s blame.

“Why did you stalk me?”
Olivia was feeling a bit impatient. “I was just curious, that’s all. Scold me if you’d like.”
Cathy did not understand, “Why should I scold you?”
Olivia conceded defeat and said, “I believe Gina is about to fire you. If you want to blame me for costing you lose your job, go ahead.”
Cathy was getting more and more confused. “Why would Miss
Miss Miller fire me? I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Olivia sneered. “Because you admitted that I’m your friend. Gina and I are enemies. She will definitely fire you.”
but Cathodic
Olivia stated confidently, saying, “That won’t happen. Miss Miller is a very principled person. She wouldn’t dismiss me because of personal issues.”
Upon hearing Cathy praise Gina, Olivia’s nails dug into her palm and an unknown flame of emotion rose within her. “It’s your choice whether to believe it or not,” she responded.
Cathy couldn’t comprehend why Olivia was upset for no apparent reason. Despite this, she asked out of concern, “Did the guard harm you just now?”
“Is that what you want to ask?”
“Yes.
Olivia was silent for a moment. “I’m fine. Also, if Gina asks about our relationship, tell her it’s terrible.”
For the first time, Olivia had the thought of not wanting to get someone involved.
With that, she left without looking back.
When Cathy returned to the surveillance room, Gina was still there. Cathy inquired, “Miss Miller, you’re still here. Are you planning to fire me?”
Gina was a little surprised. “Why should I fire you? You’re doing very well. Keep it up.”
Gina came over to inspect the medicinal herb. Impressed by its quality, she was pleased with Cathy’s diligent work ethic.
Gina asked Cathy, “How did you know Olivia? Are yo
you very close?”
Cathy continued to speak the truth. She told Gina how she met Olivia and said, “Now, she is my neighbor.”
“Is she working now?”
Cathy thought for a moment. “I don’t think so.”
Olivia didn’t even have enough money to buy food. Although Cathy didn’t understand why Olivia wasn’t going to work, she respected Olivia’s privacy and never probed further.
“Okay, you may go back to work,” Gina didn’t ask more questions.

Olivia returned to her apartment feeling disoriented. Just as she was about to lie down and sleep, she received an unfamiliar call. Assuming it was harassment call, she ended it. However, the call came again. Olivia suddenly wondered if it was the blond man calling, as he had mentioned that he would not contact her using a telephone.

Olivia answered the call
“Hello, Miss Olivia. This is Miss Gina’s lawyer. We are aware that you haven’t been looking for a job lately, which could potentially delay the repayment of Miss Gina’s debt by you. I kindly urge you to consider returning to work and settling your debt promptly. Otherwise, we may have to resort to legal action and restrict your extravagant spending
Olivia was shocked. Gina had assured her that she wouldn’t go to jail as long as she paid a billion dollars. Additionally, Gina had requested her to sign an agreement of arrears to ensure she kept her promise. But how did Gina know she wasn’t seeking a job?
“Miss Olivia, are you listening?”
Olivia gritted her teeth. “I’m in my third year of university, Isn’t it normal that I don’t have a job?”
“Yes, I know. But now, you owe my agent a huge amount of money. You at least need to work part-time, don’t you?
“Besides, you haven’t been to school in a long time, have you?”
Gina was trembling with anger. The lawyer’s casual tone made her feel humiliated.
She had been absent from school for quite some time. The school had already cautioned her that if she continued to miss classes and did not return, she would have to withdraw from school. Olivia was now reluctant to go back to school Students at Trowell University were discussing her and Gina on
How could she even show her face at school? She would rather quit than face ridicule from others. Besides, she could barely afford to eat now, let alone pay her tuition fees next semester. So be it!
“understand. I’U go find a job.”
After Olivia finished speaking, she ended the call. The first thing that crossed her mind was that Cathy had informed Gina about her current situation.
“B**h! Who does she think she is?” she thought.
