Chapter 539: The hidden truth
As soon as he finished speaking, the video was cut off by him. She was only a pawn for him, and she knew it.
As she recently overheard in a song on the street. "I am like a pawn, and whether I advance or retreat is up to you. I am not your general but just a small soldier. I'm like a pawn, and I can't choose whether to come or go. Even if I can't come back, you never hesitate, while I am always under your control."
She didn't even know whether she was about to be discarded by him as a pawn.
The next day, Susan apologized for an angry remark she made to Olive in the office.
Olive said that she didn't mind, and she told Susan that William was already appointed. He was supposed to be the assistant manager of the catering department, and she would welcome him in at any time.
Nothing happened in the next few days as Susan kept to her duty, and she never mentioned the investment again, while Olive didn't give her a chance to manage the core business of Angel Holiday Hotel.
Don't harm others but never relax vigilance against evildoers. Olive couldn't afford to be careless, especially when someone's up to no good.
But on this very day, Olive received a phone call from Xenia.
Dave was planning two weddings, and Olive remembered that it was the time when they were going back to Luo City after holding their wedding in Haikou, the city where Xenia's parents live. Of course, they also needed to hold another wedding in Luo City.
Getting married was a wonderful thing, so Olive couldn't help but smile. "Well, Xenia, how do you feel about being a bride?"
But on the phone, Xenia was almost crying. "Sister Olive, I don't know Mr. Hoyle's phone number, so could you tell him to come to the Martial Club right now?"
Olive was slightly stunned. "What happened to you?"
"Dave and Ivy suddenly started fighting for some reason, while they were fighting ferociously and I couldn't stop them. I don't know what's going on between them, but I've only vaguely heard that it has something to do with Mr. Hoyle. Sister Olive, I'm so scared, so could you tell Mr. Hoyle to come here quickly? I'm afraid something bad will happen." Xenia's voice was trembling when she spoke.
Olive didn't consider Xenia as an easily frightened person, so it seemed that something very serious has happened as Xenia was so frightened like this.
"Okay, I'll contact him right away. You have a baby in your belly, so look out for yourself and don't get hurt by mistake."
"Yeah, I know. Thank you, Sister Olive."
After hanging up the phone, Xenia nervously stroked her slightly bulging stomach. "Baby, we are not frightened."
At the moment, Dave was like a lion out of control, punching Ivy hard.
Ivy kept giving way, as he focused on defense rather than attack. "Dave, did you take the wrong medicine? What's wrong with you?"
When he got off the plane, Dave asked him to come in here, and as soon as they saw each other, Dave hit him and kicked him, so what happened to Dave?
Dave sneered. "I'm crazy, but I owe it all to you and Alan."
Ivy, who dodged a punch from Dave dangerously, frowned. At first, he thought Dave finally married Xenia, so Dave couldn't hold back his excitement, and he needed the fight to vent his excess energy, but after a few fights, it became clear to Ivy that there was hate in Dave's fist, and Dave suddenly went crazy, especially after he said these words.
"What do you owe me and Alan for? Please don't speak in riddles."
Dave snorted coldly, changed the direction of his attack, and punched Ivy again. "Speak in riddles? Sean, you're pretending to be deaf and dumb, and that's enough of you. I was blind to think you were my best friend for so many years."
Ivy was annoyed by Dave's mindless remarks, so when Ivy retaliated, Dave was kicked two meters away by Ivy. "Dave, tell me exactly when I was pretending to be deaf and dumb?"
Dave regained his footing, looking coldly at Ivy. "All right, let me be clear with you. Sean, ask yourself that how I've treated you all these years?"
"You are sincere to me." Over the years, the feelings between them could be described in these words. "You're older than me, so I've always thought of you as my elder brother."
Dave sneered dryly. "Elder brother? I really don't think I deserve this because I don't have a dear brother like you. I was so close to being tricked by your and Alan's monstrous lies."
“Monstrous lies? What do you mean?”
"Do you dare to say that when my father was fired from the Hoyle Group, your father didn't hit my father when my father was down? It must not have occurred to your father that he finally bit off his own head since he died with a grievance. Do you dare to say that you knew Albert was responsible for my father's death, but you joined forces with Alan to fabricate the truth to protect the woman you liked and exonerate your father? So you tricked me as if I were a fool."
Ivy was caught off guard by Dave's sudden accusation.
"Who talks nonsense like that? It just doesn't make sense."
The person who broke the news to Dave was deceitful because that person was able to confuse right and wrong and make Dave believe it. Who the hell was that person? What on earth was that person up to?
"Is it true or not?" Dave looked full of rage.
"Who is that person?"
"It doesn't matter who it was, but you can't deny it, can you? So, the truth is being manipulated by you, and I'm an idiot. Ivy, I mistrusted you." Dave picked up his weapon and waved to Ivy.
Ivy dodged the attack. "So you believed what that person said? What kind of person am I? If you don't know who I really am, then our brotherly relationship for so many years will mean nothing."
Dave sneered. "Do you know how it feels to be cheated by the person you trust the most? That's how I feel right now, while I would like to destroy your whole world with my fist."
"Dave, you need to stop." Alan's voice became increasingly clear, and his voice sounded like he was giving orders, which couldn't be disobeyed. He was followed by Olive, who came hurriedly from the other direction.
Xenia had the feeling of waiting for a savior. "Sister Olive, you're here at last. If you don't come, I'll be really worried to death." Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
When she tried and failed to persuade them, she screamed, but Dave wouldn't listen to her, as he just told her to stay away from them. She was scared to get too close to them as she wanted to protect the
baby in her belly, so Alan's arrival lit her up like a ray of sunshine in an overcast sky.
Dave glanced coldly at Alan, while his red eyes were full of hate. "You come just in time because I was trying to get even with you."
Alan didn't want Olive to come, but his woman wasn't obedient, and she came as fast as he did, so he couldn't stop her. When he saw that Dave was out of control as Dave was looking dangerous, he couldn't help but hold Olive behind him.
"Olive, you take Xenia away from us."
"All right."
Olive still knew what she had to do since she could imagine how intense the fight had been between them when she saw the two disheveled men and Xenia's pale face. No one could have imagined that the two men would actually fight according to their usual intimacy.
