Chapter 293 An Intolerable Grievance
Olivia originally did not intend to hide the matter from Isabella. She had dragged Jake to Northernville
Manor because she wanted to ask Isabella for help.
She did not have any other choice. She needed help badly, as it was tricky dealing with Jake by
herself.
When Isabella saw Olivia wink at her, she knew she could not expose Olivia in front of everyone. She
could only pretend to glare at Jake angrily and pull Draxton away.
Jake stood still helplessly as he watched both of them disappear from his sight.
Draxton did not leave either. He asked, “Jake, what happened between you and Olivia?”
Jake kept quiet for a while before replying. “You saw what happened just now. She’s pregnant, and I
forced her to have an abortion. We cannot have this child.”
Jake was undoubtedly a scumbag.
Draxton rolled up his sleeves, about to hit Jake. He was not fit to be Olivia’s brother if he did not teach
Jake a lesson.
Seeing this, Jake’s expression changed slightly. “Mr. Lockwood, do you think you should discuss this
with Bella before you hit me? Do you think Bella will let you get into a fight again?”
Draxton was speechless.
At that moment, the two men looked at each other and fell silent.
Meanwhile, Isabella pulled Olivia into the house. She asked helplessly, “Olivia, what’s going on
between you and Jake?”
Olivia blushed. “We had some drinks, and I flirted with him…”
Isabella thought, “Jake finally had his day. A girl had made advances at him.
“Men were all the same.
“Who would believe that he did not make use of the opportunity?”
Seeing Isabella’s strange expression, Olivia quickly changed her story. “He was the one who seduced
me…” Isabella now knew the truth.
“What a scumbag!” She cursed angrily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIndignant, Olivia questioned, “Isabella, how can you say that about Jake?
“You must have been even more aggressive when you seduced my brother back then. Otherwise, how
did you get yourself pregnant with two children?”
Isabella was stunned.
Her face was flushed red. All right then, she should not have called Jake a scumbag.
Isabella glared at Olivia and tried to cover her embarrassment by chiding her. “Tell me honestly, what’s
with the fake pregnancy?”
This time, Olivia was the one who looked embarrassed. She said aggrievedly, “It’s all Jakey’s fault. He
refused to marry me and even threatened to jump off the cliff. I’m not fit to be called a woman if I can
tolerate such behavior.
“That’s why I lied to him that I am pregnant.”
Isabella noticed that Olivia had addressed Jake as Jakey.
She had a pained expression on her face as she tried to probe further. “When did this happen?”
Olivia’s eyes shifted from the left to the right, not daring to look at Isabella.
Isabella wrapped her arms around her chest and leaned back on the chair leisurely. She waited
patiently for
an answer.
Olivia knew that she could not avoid Isabella’s question and admitted, “Just before the New Year, when
you and my brother went overseas…”
“Do both of you like each other?” Isabella asked.
“Erm…” Olivia’s eyes reddened. “I thought this was the case.
“However, he refused to marry me, so I’m not sure about that.”
Olivia’s eyes were flashing with indignation. It was obvious that she was agitated.
Isabella was stunned. She sighed and said, “Jake cannot marry you, Olivia.”
Olivia was shocked. Her eyes widened in disbelief. “Why?”
Isabella was silent for a moment. She finally decided to tell Olivia the truth.
“Jake is a second-generation subject of a mysterious experiment. He had no say over his life or death.
“He cannot control his fate. He is as good as a man without a life.”
Isabella frowned She had been researching the circumstances that Jake was in. However, she was not
able to make any headway in her investigations.
Jake’s predicament was no longer something that could be resolved by Evolution Poison.
She looked at the pale-faced Olivia and continued, “Tell me, how is he going to marry you? Do you
think he wants to give birth to the next generation of test subjects? How is he able to give you a
complete family?” Olivia widened her eyes and looked at Isabella in a daze. Tears streamed down her
face.
“If you’re really pregnant, the child will be a third-generation test subject. You cannot escape from this
fate. Do you think Jake can accept this situation?
“I know Jake’s character. If he is a normal person, he will definitely want to be with you if you like each
other.
“However, given his situation, both of you have no future together.”
Isabella was very honest in her assessment of the situation.
Olivia was a favored girl. Ever since she was young, she had never suffered any setbacks.
She was destined to lead a smooth sailing life since the day she was born.
Yet now, she was facing the greatest difficulty in her relationship.
Isabella looked at her quietly, not knowing what to say.
She could not help but ask herself what she would do if the same thing happened to her and Draxton.
Without a doubt, she would be willing to sacrifice herself to accompany him. She would fight hand-in-
hand with Draxton for justice at all costs.
That was because they loved each other.
However, she knew that Olivia and Jake were not her and Draxton. Isabella felt that she was only a
bystander in the relationship between Olivia and Jake. She was not able to offer any sound advice.
It was up to them to decide what to do.
Suddenly, Olivia stood up and walked out.
Isabella was shocked and said worriedly, “Olivia?”
Olivia paused and said, “I won’t make things difficult for him.”
She then walked away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJake and Draxton were still staring at each other in silence. When they heard footsteps, they looked
over at the same time.
It was obvious that Olivia had cried. This was the first time Draxton had seen such a painful expression
on her face since his sister was a child.
He could not help but glare at Jake in a hostile manner.
He decided that he would keep it from Bella and teach Jake a lesson.
At that moment, Olivia threw herself into Jake’s arms and hugged him tightly.
Not only was Jake taken by surprise, but Draxton was equally stunned.
He could not help but give up the idea of teaching Jake a lesson.
He feared that if he beat Jake up, the person he had to contend with was not Bella but Olivia.
Jake felt the soft body of the girl in his arms. She was beautiful, and he was someone who was
struggling in hell How could he drag her into hell with him?
He raised his arm and gently pushed her away.
Olivia hugged him even tighter.
“Jakey, I’m not pregnant. I lied to you,” Olivia said.
She looked at him with her clear, bright eyes. Their eyes met.
Draxton looked away expressionlessly.
Just then, Isabella walked out, looking grim.
When Draxton saw Isabella, he immediately walked over and held her hand. They were very
unabashed in showing their affection for each other.
When it came to displaying his affection for Isabella, Draxton was no less inferior to anyone.
“You’re not pregnant?” Jake asked coldly.
Olivia nodded solemnly. “I’m not pregnant. I just want to trick you into marrying me.”
Jake was silent for a while and said, “Bella told you everything, right? There is no future in our
relationship.”
At this moment, Olivia’s eyes looked incomparably firm and bright. She started to sneer.
“Jake, listen hard. You’re mine. Nothing can stop us.
“I, Olivia Lockwood, have never been a coward.
“This is an intolerable grievance, and I won’t tolerate it.”
