“Alright, you both can leave now,” Gina said.
Gabriel remained silent while Michael followed suit.
ncing at the time, Gabriel spoke, “Gina, there’s still some business at the office. I’ll swing byter
once it’s wrapped up.”
“Sure,” Gina nodded.
Gabriel and Michael left the hospital room one after the other, leaving Gina feeling weary as she
drifted off to sleep.
Olivia left Prover Hospital, her heart pounding with fear. Her hand trembled as she took out her
phone, nearly causing her to drop it. She needed to figure out her next move.
Gina realized the poison might have been procured for her by someone else. If she found out it was
Mason, everything would be over.
Olivia thought, Icked confidence in keeping Mason from revealing her involvement. I needed to
find a way to silence him… Should I silence him permanently? I felt uneasy. Silencing him didn’t
seem like a foolproof solution. Perhaps only death could truly seal his lips… Was I contemting
ending Mason’s life? I didn’t want to bear the weight of taking a life, especially before facing the
inevitable perils of the underworld. I couldn’t risk paying with my life for Mason’s demise. Moreover,
Andy had divulged details about the blond man to Gina.
Olivia’s mind felt like a whirlwind of confusion. There were too manyplexities to untangle.
She focused on calming herself down and pondered her next move. Eventually, she resolved to
contact the blond man. Messaging the number he had called her from, she arranged a meeting. [We
need to talk. Not at my ce.]
Returning to her rented room, Olivia received a message from the blond man, providing her with an
address.
Without hesitation, Olivia set out once again.
She arrived at a bar.
Olivia located the private room where the blond man was seated. He lounged on the couch,
leisurely sipping his drink, his. face still concealed. “What a surprise. Gina didn’t tear you apart. She
just let you go.”
Olivia wasn’t in the mood to entertain the blond man’s banter. Getting straight to the point, she said,
“The day you came looking for me, someone spotted you. They found you suspicious and informed
Gina. Now, she probably suspects ye the one who poisoned me.”
The blond man’s demeanor changed. “What?” he eximed.
Recalling the encounter with Andy, he became agitated. “Why would he think I’m suspicious?”
“Because you werepletely covered up, and your blond hair is too conspicuous, Olivia
exined.
Just for that?” The blond man chuckled, rising to approach Olivia. Suddenly, he grabbed her by the
throat. “Are you t to deceive me? Are you the one who told Gina about me?”
His grip tightened with each passing moment.
Olivia red at him, her frustration evident. “What do I gain by telling her?”
“Didn’t you mention Gina’s keen interest in tracing Cole’s connections? Logically, you’d betray me to
earn her forgiveness.”

“Why would I bothering here to give you a heads-up?”
“To prevent any doubts from creeping in,” the blond man stated in a chilling tone.
Olivia erupted, “Enough of your self-righteousness! We’re in the same boat now, aren’t we? My
grudge with Gina won’t vanish because I didn’t betray you. It’s a matter of survival between her and
me!”
Olivia’s teeth clenched as she finished, her eyes filled with hatred on the verge of spilling over.
The blond man released Olivia. “What’s the name of the user
“Andy, he lives next door to me. Remember, you can’te knocking on my door anymore,” Olivia
coughed twice, rubbing her sore neck where she’d been choked.
“He can’t stay,” the blond man said casually, as if taking Andy’s life was as trivial as a speck of dust.
“You… you going to kill him?” Olivia asked.
“He’s messed with my ns,” the blond man replied with a hint of malice.
“If you kill someone, how do you deal with it? Olivia inquired.
The blond man looked at Olivia and chuckled, “What’s this? Are you trying to learn from me?”
Olivia pursed her lips.
I can make him disappear without a trace. Can you?” the blond manughed.
Olivia remained silent.
The blond man grew curious. “Who’s on your h
hit list?
“The one who helped me procure the poison. If Gina finds out about him, she’ll eventually trace it
back to him. Once she has evidence, she can send me to prison.”
In the past, Olivia had schemed against Gina, but Cina always managed to slip through her fingers.
Otherwise, Olivia’s actions would havended her in prison for years. Olivia used to Vescapes were
just luck, but now she realized Gina had some skills.
Still, Olivia couldn’t fathom how Gina survived such a hefty dose of poison. It was beyond belief.
“Prison? What’s there to fear? I have ways to get you out as long as you’re alive. But you’ve got to
be useful. You said you found the source, so where is it?”
Olivia’s heart skipped a beat. She had only mentioned finding a potential source in desperation,
hoping to appea She hadn’t expected him to remember.
“You lied to me?” The man’s patience wore thin. “Olivia, I’ve got limited patience. This isn’t a game.
Looks like you worthless, of no value. Our partnership ends.”
Olivia panicked. “I didn’t lie to you. I did find a potential target, but you’ve got to give me time. Let
him willingly ag the test. If I bring him to your ce for matching, won’t he smell a rat?”
“And then he turns the tables and rats us out, putting us both in hot water. What then?” Olivia said.
The blond man fell silent for a moment. “You’ve thought this through,” he remarked. “I just hope
you’re not all talk. Bu you’re as sure as you sound, then I’ll trust you’ve got your target lined up.
Best bring him to me soon; organs in demand fetch quite the price.”

But what good was a hefty profit? Right then, he owed Gina a hefty sum, and as soon as that
moneynded in her hands, it was drawn right over to her.
Yet, Olivia had her agenda. She locked eyes with the blond man. I’m willing to do your bidding, but
you’ll ensure my safety. won’t you?
Though Olivia wasn’t sure of the blond man’s standing in the criminal underworld, anyone involved
in such deadly dealings: must have significant power backing them. She could align herself with that
power, use it to ensure her survival.
“Of course,” the blond man nodded. “If you perform well, excel even, I’ll be sure to reward you
handsomely.”All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.
