Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 878

Olivia snorted. "He's a b*stard. I was gonna smack him on more than one occasion."

Jewel asked, "So, you managed to subdue him, then?" Or else you couldn't have come back in one piece.

"I can't subdue that kind of guy. I just ignore his actions as long as he doesn't cross the line."

"You're being modest. If anyone else had shoved him out as you did, they would have died or lost a limb at best."

A frown creased Olivia's forehead. "Isn't that exaggerating a bit?"

Jewel gesticulated. "Not one bit. He's a cruel man. None of his girlfriends would ever say no to him. There was this one time when he told his girlfriend to go home, but she fooled around and refused. So, he said he got tired of her and gave her to his lackeys. I heard that the woman came out looking like an abuse victim. Since then, all his girlfriends have been serving him carefully. If they had acted as you did, they would have died."

"I'm not his girlfriend, though." Olivia gave her a deadpan look.

"I'm just saying he's a dangerous man. You should stay as far away from him and don't challenge him."

Olivia chuckled. "Well, I think it's too late for that. I'd just kicked his balls today. Bet I'd put him through quite an agony."
