Chapter 293 An Intolerable Grievance


    Olivia originally did not intend to hide the matter from Isabe. She had dragged Jake to Northernville Manor because she wanted to ask Isabe for help.


    She did not have any other choice. She needed help badly, as it was tricky dealing with Jake by herself.


    When Isabe saw Olivia wink at her, she knew she could not expose Olivia in front of everyone. She could only pretend to re 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 Be before you hit me? Do you think Be 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, Isabe 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..."


    Isabe 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 Isabe''s strange expression, Olivia quickly changed her story. "He was the one who seduced me..." Isabe now knew the truth.


    "What a scumbag!" She cursed angrily.


    Indignant, Olivia questioned, "Isabe, 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?"


    Isabe was stunned.


    Her face was flushed red. All right then, she should not have called Jake a scumbag.


    Isabe red 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."


    Isabe 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 Isabe.


    Isabe 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 Isabe''s question and admitted, "Just before the New Year, when you and my brother went overseas..."


    "Do both of you like each other?" Isabe 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 shing with indignation. It was obvious that she was agitated.


    Isabe was stunned. She sighed and said, “Jake cannot marry you, Olivia."


    Olivia was shocked. Her eyes widened in disbelief. "Why?"


    Isabe 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."


    Isabe 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 aplete family?" Olivia widened her eyes and looked at Isabe 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 ept 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."


    Isabe 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 rtionship.


    Isabe 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 apany 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. Isabe felt that she was only a bystander in the rtionship 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.


    Isabe was shocked and said worriedly, "Olivia?"


    Olivia paused and said, "I won''t make things difficult for him."


    She then walked away.


    Jake 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 re at Jake in a hostile manner.


    He decided that he would keep it from Be 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 Be 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.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    She looked at him with her clear, bright eyes. Their eyes met.


    Draxton looked away expressionlessly.


    Just then, Isabe walked out, looking grim.


    When Draxton saw Isabe, he immediately walked over and held her hand. They were very unabashed in showing their affection for each other.


    When it came to disying his affection for Isabe, 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, "Be told you everything, right? There is no future in our rtionship."


    At this moment, Olivia''s eyes looked iparably 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."
