Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1390

Chapter 1390 An Unaccepted Apology

Olivia shot Eugene a look, signaling him to leave the room.

Even so, he reminded Penny worriedly, "Don't take too much time talking to her. She has to rest."

Penny nodded. "I know."

Then, he instructed Olivia, "I'm right downstairs. If you need anything, just give me a call."

Although he knew that Penny was nowhere close to being Olivia's opponent, he still couldn't help but feel concerned.

Olivia was rendered speechless by his incessant worrying.

Still, she hummed in reply. Once he left, she turned her gaze to Penny. "What do you have to say to me?"

As she spoke, she remained unmoving on the bed, and even her tone was as cold as ice.

Naturally, Penny could feel the tension in the air, and she was fully aware of the reason behind the coldness that hung in the air. She had gone against Olivia many times in the past, so it was only natural for Olivia to keep her at a distance.

Carefully, Penny took a few steps toward her. "Olivia…"

Olivia mocked sarcastically, "When you hate me, you were nothing but eager to capture me and kill me. When you don't like me, all you do is hurl insults at me, but you're calling me by my name now that you need me? You really are versatile."

Penny's expression soured at her words. She had hesitated for a whole day and night, knowing that coming here would likely subject her to ridicule, but she was unable to shake her desire to take her chances. After all, Olivia was George's junior, so she most likely understood him better than anyone else. With Olivia's help, she might even be able to accomplish her goal with half the effort.

Most importantly, even if Olivia refused to offer her assistance, Penny didn't want her to cause any trouble. As Olivia had signed the marriage papers with Eugene, she was now her sister-in-law regardless of whether she liked it or not. Setting aside that reason, Olivia was also George's junior, and going against Olivia would only cause George to dislike her even more than he already did. Hence, there was no better course of action than turning Olivia from her enemy into an ally.

"Olivia, I know I've done a lot of bad things in the past, and I haven't been nice to you either. Also, when I was being manipulated by Nicole, even Eugene believed that I was the culprit of that incident, but it was because you suspected something was off that he was able to find out Nicole was behind everything. If not, I would've been sent to jail by Eugene. I've always wanted to thank you for this. Thank you for not kicking me when I was down. It was definitely the best chance for you to take revenge on me, but you didn't. You're a kind person with principles."

"In fact, I really wasn't planning to hurt you then. I know that you might not believe me, but Mom and Dad were both taken into custody at that time, and I didn't know what to do after things had changed all of a sudden. Then, Nicole provoked me into using you to convince Eugene into dropping the charges on our parents. But after I found out that Mom has really hurt you and Eugene a lot, I came to terms that this is the punishment she deserves. I've always wanted to apologize to you, but I never had the courage…"

Olivia stared at her. "Then, why do you have the courage now?"

Olivia stared at her. "Then, why do you have the courage now?"

Lightly biting on her lips, Penny forced herself to say, "Since you married Eugene, you're my sister-in- law from now on, and we'll be seeing each other often. I can't always hide from you, so I was going to let you vent your anger once and for all."

Olivia huffed. "Scolding you is a waste of my time. If you're done, just leave!"

However, Penny did not budge. After a moment, she asked cautiously, "Are you still angry at me?"

"Why would I waste my energy by being angry at someone who isn't worth my time?"

"Olivia…" Penny began hesitantly, "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. What can I do to make you forgive me?" Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Olivia had grown a little impatient by their conversation and said, "Fine, I won't hold you accountable, so stay out of my sight from now on. Don't forget that this is my house that you're in. If you keep doing this, I'll chase you out!"

Penny furrowed her brow. Clearly, Olivia was refusing to give her any sort of chance. She had been planning to get some information about George from her, but from the looks of things, there was no way for her to ask.

As she resentfully exited the room, she bumped into Eugene.

Worried that an argument would break out between the two, Eugene had remained in the vicinity after leaving. Although his worries had not become a reality, it seemed that things had not gone well from Penny's expression.

"Done so soon?"
