Chapter 360 Olivia Kneels
Colton understood his mother’s panic and comforted her with a smile. “Relax, Mom. Nicole knows what she’s doing. The whole thing is just her giving Aunt Olivia a warning, and it’s only normal for her to be upset since Aunt Olivia treats her like that. She won’t refuse to perform the surgery on Grandpa.”
Anna finally heaved a sigh of relief and sighed after hearing Colton’s honest words. “That’s Olivia for you. It’s high time someone pulls her down a little.”
…
As unwilling as Olivia was, she couldn’t disregard her father’s life. Hence, she decided to go to Nicole’s residence and apologize in person.
However, she stood at the front door for a long time and hesitated before finally knocking.
Nicole happened to be cooking; it had been a long while since she last cooked for Hayden when the knock came at the door.
“Hayden, can you get the door, please? It might be Whitney.” They had run out of spices, so Nicole asked Whitney to help and get them some.
Whitney had probably forgotten about her keys when she left in a hurry.
Hayden nodded in response and went down from the couch at once, trotting to the door.
However, his smiling face turned into a frown the next second when he saw Olivia standing behind the door, after which he informed Nicole at the top of his lungs, “Mommy, it’s the bad woman.”
Olivia instantly turned somewhat grim upon being called a bad woman by this rugrat when she had already prepared to humble herself and apologize sincerely.
Meanwhile, Nicole had just turned off the stove and plated a dish when Hayden announced who was at the door.
Olivia gritted her teeth as she looked at Nicole, who evidently wasn’t going to forgive her easily. Lo and behold, she clenched her fists and dropped to her knees with a thud.
Her actions took Nicole by surprise. She knew the woman had always been self-important and disdained her, but who’d have thought Olivia would be willing to kneel?
Olivia was filled with shame as she kneeled on the floor. If it wasn’t because of her father, she would’ve long been cursing.
Now, she had no choice but to lower her head, for only Nicole could save Benedict. “Please, Miss Nicole, I ask you to overlook my mistakes. I have indeed done wrong this time. I’m sorry. Please forgive me and save my father.”
Though Nicole could clearly see the reluctance on Olivia’s face, she knew it was already near improbable that Olivia would kneel and beg her.
With that, she took a plain gander at Olivia and sneered. “I would still save Old Mr. Benedict without you begging me.”
