Chapter 2565: Chapter 2574: Leniency to Those Who Confess, Severity to Those Who Resist

If Olivia Lewis had known she would be discovered so quickly, she wouldn’t have lied in the first place.

Originally, there really wasn’t anything between her and August Oliver. But the way she hid it made it seem like they had an unusual relationship.

She glanced again at a certain someone’s stormy expression, and her mouth felt like it was sealed shut, "...You guessed it all, how impressive. I suddenly feel a bit of admiration for you, what should I do?"

"Stop with the sweet talk. You think being coy is going to help you now?" Adam Sinclair really felt like strangling her; she always had a knack for driving him crazy, "When have you ever acted like this? Is the man inside somehow related to you? An actor you worked with? Unlikely. Sunny’s husband? Also unlikely. Could it be... August Oliver?"

Olivia Lewis, "..." Damn, he’s too sharp! How could he guess that!

"Is the person inside August Oliver?" His voice was barely controlled, his anger at its peak.

Olivia Lewis knew she couldn’t avoid it anymore, so she rushed to explain everything before he could misunderstand, "I’ll tell you the truth, but promise me you won’t get mad."

"Speak." He wasn’t just angry; he was about to explode.

Finding another man, with whom there’s a hint of ambiguity, in his girlfriend’s room, would lead any normal man to think in that direction, but Adam still believed Olivia wasn’t that kind of person.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be standing here listening to her explain; he’d have already gone in and beaten that man to a pulp.

After being discovered, Olivia actually felt a bit relieved. She took a deep breath and explained how August Oliver suddenly appeared, got a stomachache, and had nightmares. She concluded with, "I couldn’t just throw him out, could I? So I got him to lie down and rest, planning to talk when he sobered up. I even called a friend of his to come take care of him. Who knew you’d show up so suddenly? I was afraid you’d misunderstand, so..."

"So just now, that ’property management’ guy was from August Oliver’s band?" He thought so; with that appearance and designer clothes, how could he be Neighborhood property management? He just went along with her act. And dealt with the man knocking at her door.

Olivia Lewis looked down, "Yeah, it was Annan. I’ve hung out with him before, he’s close to August Oliver. I’ve said everything I needed to say; you can believe it or not."

She knew how hard it was to clearly explain this situation, and Adam would definitely misunderstand her. She didn’t want to explain too much either.

She and Adam already had differences, and given what Sydney Sullivan said to her before, she was hesitant. If they broke up, it could be a good ending. At least for him, without her holding him back, he could be more relaxed and avoid frequent business trips.

Even if Adam didn’t say it, she had seen his hard working days lately. She chose to ignore because she couldn’t help in any way.

Just like his mother said, the quickest way for him to control the family and resolve the crisis was to find a girlfriend from a similar background and get married.

There was too big of a gap between them. Except for breaking up, she couldn’t help him with anything.

Adam sensed the sudden drop in her emotions, and his eyes darkened as he pulled Olivia into his arms, leaning down to say, "What are you thinking? Don’t tell me you’re thinking about what my mom said to you again."
