Chapter 933 Shoot Herself In The Foot
Meanwhile, Amos smiled brightly.
Although he didn’t know Malcolm, he was impressed by Natalie because she seemed to have a special
relationship with Carlos.
What a charming yet mysterious woman! It is as if she can keep everything under her control.
Olivia blushed with embarrassment, for she created havoc that turned out to be a blunder.
At the same time, Bridger and Jada were startled by the dramatic turn of events. After calming
themselves down, they walked up to Olivia to ease the tension.
The experienced Bridger said, “Olivia, how could you be so reckless? You spewed nonsense before
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMr. Carlos without figuring out the truth and made a mess! Fortunately, it’s just a misunderstanding!”
Jada quickly chimed in, “Olivia, remember not to do it again next time.”
They pretended to scold Olivia as they tried to gloss over the incident to diffuse the awkwardness for
her.
With tears in her eyes, Olivia nodded and replied, “Dad, Mom, I understand.”
While the family members tried to save themselves from embarrassment, Natalie couldn’t help but
chuckle. Do they think they can get over it by claiming it was a misunderstanding? Wouldn’t it be too
easy for Olivia?
“Ms. Jones, why did you apologize to your parents?” Natalie mocked.
Olivia raised her head and gave Natalie a look of shock.
“Shouldn’t I be the person whom you should apologize to?” Although Natalie looked gentle, Olivia could
sense the slight arrogance exuding from her when she smiled.
Usually, Natalie wouldn’t harm someone or bear grudges because of minor mistakes.
As they say, an eye for an eye. Considering Olivia crossed her bottom line many times, Natalie had to
teach her a lesson.
“I… I…” Olivia initially thought she could smooth things over and pretend that nothing happened.
Despite her frustration, she didn’t have any other choice but to apologize. After giving it some thought,
she murmured, “Ms. Nichols, I caused unnecessary trouble to you before finding out the truth. I’m
sorry… I hope you can accept my apology.”
“There won’t be a next time,” Natalie blurted.
“Yes.” Olivia felt wronged but could only nod her head in response.
Natalie was satisfied with Olivia’s apology and moved on.
Yet, the expression of every member of the Jones family turned grim, except Jerry.
Later, Bridger and Jada took Olivia and Jerry to a quiet place. The next moment, Bridger vented his
anger by slapping Olivia hard in the face. “What did you do? I thought you exposed the woman
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbecause you already have some dirt on her!”
On the brink of tears, Olivia covered her face and choked out, “I… I never expected Natalie to be… the
chairwoman of Dream. I thought she was a nobody. Also, I was worried that Ammy would abandon me
if she managed to charm him. That was why…”
After slapping Olivia, Bridger glared at Jerry and scolded, “Also, why didn’t you stop Olivia?”
Jerry felt a little upset and almost burst into laughter out of exasperation. “Dad, are you all right? Are
you suggesting I didn’t stop her hard enough? Wasn’t it you who wanted me to let go of her just now?”
“You!” When the scene flashed across his mind, Bridger felt ashamed and nearly wanted to slap
himself. “My gosh! We’ve humiliated ourselves before the Stone family! It doesn’t matter how Amos
thinks of Olivia now. I’m afraid Carlos is going to despise the entire Jones family!”
Olivia didn’t know how to respond. She could only let tears stream down her face. Meanwhile, Jada felt
heartbroken at the sight and wiped the tears away for her.
Under normal circumstances, Jerry would also feel sorry for Olivia whenever she cried. However, he
knew she wouldn’t have shot herself in the foot if she had heeded his advice. Hence, he stood aside
with a conflicted expression and didn’t even comfort her.
