Chapter 966 The Man Who Brought Food
“Dad, Mom, Olivia, I’ll get going first,” Jerry said, putting down his fork and leaving with a sullen face.
Despite knowing that Dream and Farrington Jewelry were business rivals, he still saw Natalie as a good friend. Although he could not do anything to help Natalie, it went without saying that he would not tolerate any smug comment about the incident.
“What’s wrong with him?” Jada asked.
“He’s worried about Natalie,” Olivia replied. “After what happened, he came and asked me to help Natalie, but I turned him down. I can’t believe he’s asking me to do that. Dream is our enemy. We can’t just go easy on them when they’re finally beaten!”
“You’re right, Olivia. This is the right mentality,” praised Bridger.
“I thought I was out of the game when I did not manage to secure a collaboration with Muse, but it turns out luck is still on our side. This fiasco is really doing us good,” Olivia added.
Since things had evolved to this state and victory was at hand, Olivia decided to just open up about what happened.
“Dad, Mom, do you guys even know how much hard work I put into this?”
The couple looked at one another and then at their daughter. “You mean…”
“I’ve got a hand in this too,” Olivia said proudly. “When I saw that Natalie got to work with Muse, Ammy, and Yvette, I knew that I had to do something to put her down a peg or two. I have to make sure she can’t make a comeback ever again.”
Bridger and Jada were startled.
They genuinely thought that everything was just an accident.
Little did they know, Olivia was the one who was manipulating the situation all the while.
“Why? Is there anything wrong with that, Dad?” Olivia asked when she saw their reaction. “Farrington Jewelry is really losing the luxury jewelry market. Dream will only grow stronger if this goes on. It’s going to be hard for us to compete with them.”
Bridger was appalled at first, but on second thought, he figured this was what business was all about. Things were constantly changing in the market, and adapting to changes was necessary.
His daughter’s tactic had seriously damaged Dream’s reputation. When he considered everything, he realized Olivia was better than him at playing business tricks.
“You did well,” Bridger said, patting her on her shoulder.
“Thank you, Dad.” Olivia was delighted.
Bridger warned, “But this is a big deal. Are you sure this will not lead back to you? You know the tables can easily flip if the other side gets hold of any evidence, right?”
Olivia said confidently, “Don’t worry about it, Dad. Yvette is disfigured. That’s no small issue! That’s a whole lot to deal with for Natalie already. She won’t have time to think about other things now. Even if she does, I’ve got everything planned out. There’s no way she can overturn things now.”
Seeing that Olivia was this optimistic, Jada and Bridger could finally heave a sigh of relief.
Just like that, the ambiance around the table became light-hearted. The three continued eating, imagining all the profit they could rake in once the Cupid series was launched.
Little did they know, their bliss was short-lived.
They were just a step away from their abysmal fall.
In the past two days, Natalie had contacted Anna to assure her that everything was under control.
Likewise, she telephoned Amos, but only his assistant picked up, so Natalie stopped calling after a few attempts.
Since Natalie never had high hopes for Amos, she was not at all disappointed when Amos tried to avoid her.
After all, the best decision anyone in the business industry could currently make was to distance themselves from Dream.
For that few days, Natalie, Yandel, and Lia worked tirelessly to solve the issue, so much so that they even forgot to eat.
On and off, a certain man would drop by from time to time to bring them stuff including delicious food and medication.
It was none other than the man with a mask.
