Chapter 297: He’s Never Short of Money

Olivia’s reaction completely caught the Wilson brothers off guard. Alexander, ready to bask in Vance’s praise for his heroic deed, quickly realized something was amiss. Before anyone could speak, Olivia pointed a finger at Vance and shouted, “Why on earth did you buy it? Do you have any idea how much money he still owes me? Now that you’ve bought the company, how am I supposed to collect that debt?”

She had already hired a lawyer, prepared the lawsuit, and was ready to take her former boss to court. Then, out of nowhere, Vance decided to drop this surprise on her. Vance was stunned. “Uh… well…”

Olivia narrowed her eyes, glaring between Vance and Alexander. “Who bought it?”

Alexander casually lowered his newspaper and said, “I told you, you should have consulted her first before doing this.” With that, he successfully shifted the blame to Vance.

Vance went quiet. “Alexander! My dear brother! How could you do this to me? You’re the one who led the acquisition team!” Olivia didn’t think Alexander would do something like this. After all, he rarely paid attention to her affairs. Vance had been trying to recruit her into his company for ages.

“You’re so dead!” Olivia yelled, seething with anger. Her lawsuit was ready to go, and now the company owner and legal representative had changed. Who am I supposed to sue now? The former boss had probably already run off with his mistress.

Grabbing Vance by the collar, Olivia shook him violently, making his face flush red. Out of the corner of his eye, Vance glanced at Alexander. Alexander frowned slightly, and a flash of cold intent crossed his gaze. Vance fell silent. Are these two teaming up to torture me?

Olivia didn’t actually strangle him, but the thought of losing millions left her so frustrated she stormed upstairs without eating dinner. Once she was gone, Vance clutched his neck, coughing violently.

‘Dude, that was low… really low…” Alexander calmly set his newspaper aside. “Find out how much the company owes her.”

Vance asked, “What?” “Pay her back,” Alexander said flatly. Vance was dumbfounded. “But… wasn’t that the scumbag boss’s debt? Why should we—” Before he could finish, Alexander cut him off. “Draft the agreement, and I’ll transfer the money to you.”

Vance’s eyes lit up. “Got it! I’ll handle it first thing tomorrow!” “Do it now,” Alexander ordered coldly.

He had noticed Olivia’s reaction earlier. To someone as money-conscious as her, losing millions was bound to ruin her sleep. Vance groaned but quickly called his assistant, instructing them to draft a contract claiming the original owner of the company had left funds to settle Olivia’s debt as part of the acquisition.

When Alexander returned to the bedroom, Olivia was sulking on the balcony, staring into the night. The thought of losing millions made her feel like her heart was bleeding. Alexander noticed her puffed cheeks and felt an inexplicable urge to poke them.

Just then, Olivia’s phone rang. It was Vance’s assistant, calling to explain the situation as instructed. Hearing that the money was being returned to her, Olivia’s anger evaporated instantly. Her bright eyes turned crescent-shaped with joy, and her lips curled into a mischievous smile. Alexander observed the change in her demeanor, amused. Although he didn’t understand why she was so obsessed with money… he had plenty of it to spare.

After hanging up, Olivia felt completely rejuvenated. The assistant had told her the contract could be signed the next day, and the money would be transferred to her immediately after. The ups and downs of life are exhilarating!

Just as she was feeling content and ready for a good night’s sleep, she turned around to see Alexander. At some point during her phone call, he had finished showering and was now lying casually on the bed, a towel wrapped around his waist. Olivis fell silent.
