Chapter 86
Olivia was a little surprised when she heard Vincent’s words as she was about to compromise.
There was no such good thing as a free lunch.
Olivia knew this very well.
Vincent had gone from strong opposition at the beginning to his sudden change of mind now. Her
instinct told her such a good thing would not happen, so she kept her guard up to avoid walking into a
trap.
Feeling a sense of danger growing denser, Olivia remained calm and collected. Her expression was
natural and elegant, with a hint of teasing.
“Oh? What are the conditions? Let me hear them.”
In negotiations, momentum played a big part in deciding who would emerge
victorious.
One did not expect Olivia to negotiate with him calmly without refusing directly.
Vincent was quite taken aback by this.
‘She can’t blame me for pushing her. After all, she was always running away. If I don’t, she’ll always
stuff her head into the ground like an ostrich, and I don’t even know if there will be progress,’ he
thought.
It turned out that he did not care about marriage and simply went with the flow.
His ears had been calloused by countless advice from his family, who told him to start a family before
focusing on his business. Ultimately, he ignored them as it did not cause
him much trouble.
However, after the birth of the three little cuties, he realized he really liked children.
The little cuties were so lovely. As their uncle, he completely spoiled them as if they were his own
children.
Regardless, a pleasant thought had been sprouting in his heart. Vincent also wanted to marry the
woman he loved and have children with his perfect genes.
Most importantly, he found that this feeling was growing stronger.
He finally seized an opportunity to be the one in control.
It was natural to seek a little benefit for oneself.
Vincent was an excellent driver. He had been driving on the highway at a constant speed of nearly 75
miles per hour, and the experience felt smooth.

He held the steering wheel and stared straight ahead. Olivia secretly glanced at him and had to admit
he looked quite dashing while he drove.
Hence, Olivia could not help but take another look.
However, Vincent saw her peeping.
With the help of the rearview mirror, Vincent glimpsed at Olivia’s subtle movement,
He replied with great interest, “It’s simple. You can do it if you want to.”
‘I didn’t expect him to play riddles with me. What a sly fox!’ Olivia exclaimed inwardly.
Little did she know, he learned this from Kimberly.
After learning it and using it immediately, Vincent deemed it highly effective.
“That’s enough. Hurry up and tell me. As long as it isn’t unreasonable or doesn’t go against principles, I
will agree.” Olivia understood it was she who requested something from someone else, so she
humbled herself.
‘He’s someone I spent so much effort to get to help me smooth things over. Before that’s done, I need
to treat him with respect,’ Olivia thought.
“Next Friday, our company will hold a team building activity. You must participate in it.” Vincent revealed
his terms immediately after arousing her interest.
In addition to working for Larson Corporation, Olivia also served as a consultant for Sullivan Group.
Although she seldom went to the company when there was nothing to do, she still owned the title. In a
strict sense, she was considered a member of Sullivan Group.
Therefore, she had to participate in the team-building activity.
After pondering, Olivia agreed directly.
“Okay, I promise.”
Vincent waited for the right time to grab his phone and pressed the recording button as Olivia was
about to answer
He waved his phone in front of Olivia and said confidently, “Look, I have evidence here. Don’t look for
any excuse to stand me up for no reason when that time comes.”
Seeing the man’s bright smile, Olivia could not tell whether he was shrewd or childish.
Along the way, they chatted and listened to music. Time went by quickly.
The three-hour drive was not that boring.
Soon, they arrived at Norham toll station.
After getting off at the station, Vincent navigated to the shopping street.

Olivia realized something was off after a while. She asked confusedly, “Did you go the wrong way? Are
you sure you’re navigating to the address I sent you? You’re going in the opposite direction from the
house.”
Vincent did not deny it nor explain as his wicked smile deepened. “Are you afraid that I’ll sell you? Don’t
worry. I am a good citizen who abi des by the law. Trafficking women and children will land me in jail.
Besides, I’m not willing to do that.”
Olivia raised her pinkish fist threateningly after hearing Vincent’s words.
Vincent continued, “I told you to be prepared, but you didn’t listen. Now, you’ll have to come to Norham
and make a last-minute effort.”
Olivia did not know his trunk was full of stuff. If he continued to buy other things, he might have to place
them in the back seat.
She was about to refuse, but the car was already heading to the shopping street. This was also not a
good place to make a U-turn.
‘Might as well go along with the flow,’ Olivia thought.
Seeing Olivia did not refuse again, Vincent seized the opportunity and began to inquire about her
family’s preferences.
Soon, they arrived at the largest shopping street in Norham.
It was already noon, and Olivia’s stomach rumbled uncontrollably.
Unfortunately, this noise fell into Vincent’s ear.
Olivia felt incredibly awkward and embarrassed.
However, Vincent said with a doting face, “Let’s go somewhere to eat delicious food. I’m also hungry
after driving for the entire noon. My stomach is about to growl.”
He was clearly joking about the sound Olivia’s stomach made just now.
Vincent was no stranger to Norham. It turned out that he met Kimberly in Norham.

Not only did he suffer misfortune in this place, but he also found a blessing.
Here, he met his treasured sister, Kimberly.
Now, he met the woman he wanted to cherish for life.
“I know an authentic Epean restaurant. I’ll take you there for a taste.”
Seeing Vincent navigate the road with familiarity, Olivia felt like he was more like a Norham local while
she was the outsider.
Not to mention, some people had a better sense of direction than others and could easily blend into the
new environment.
While she was lost in thought, Vincent had parked the car and was about to get out of the driver’s seat.
Seeing Olivia in a daze, Vincent hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong? Aren’t you hungry now?”
Olivia quickly unfastened her seatbelt, grabbed her purse, and got out of the car.
‘This restaurant is really nice. Looks like I’ve never been here before, Olivia thought.
They found a seat by the window. Olivia liked to enjoy the scenery and food at the same time.
She looked up and realized there was a guest at that table.
