Chapter 479
Chapter 479 Having Dinner at the Morris' House
Olive's POV:
That day, I went to Morris' house to apologize to Joe. You know, I had misunderstood him before and even questioned if he had been jealous of you for a long time. So, after receiving your call, the first thing I did was to go and apologize to Joe
I recalled the scene of returning to Morris Manor that day in my mind, and my back couldn't stop feeling cold
That day, Maria's behavior was very different from usual. Most importantly, she was almost certain that Aaron would not come back, so she
started speaking harshly to me and mocking me for trying to seduce Joe after losing Aaron
But to be honest, when I heard those insults at that time, my initial reaction was only anger, or rather, feeling embarrassed and furious because Joe was present, without any energy to think about the logic behind those words
After listening to Aaron today, I suddenly realized everything
Only when one person has been involved in the cause and process of an event can they confidently and firmly state the outcome's direction
In my opinion, Aaron encountered some trouble while on a business trip. My emotions make me hope that he didn't die, but reason tells me that
there 1s indeed a possibility that he experienced
a plane crash and his remains are nowhere to be found
So until I found out that Aaron was safe, I never had a definite conclusion in my mind about the outcome of this matter, or rather, I didn't dare to have a conclusion. I only believed in the possibility that my heart wanted to believe
And Maria?
She was certain from the beginning that Aaron would not come back, and I thought she was just like me, driven by emotions. Her disgust towards Aaron made her desperately wish for him not to appear in New York again, so she cursed him so viciously that he would never return
Now I suddenly understand that there is a great possibility that the plane Aaron was on had been
tampered with by her. She was so certain that Aaron would die on the plane because that outcome was caused solely by her!
"Did you leave any evidence that day? If it is confirmed that Maria had such behavior, can we apply for her arrest?"
I was completely overwhelmed by anger and quickly asked Aaron for details
But he clearly wasn't as impatient as me, after calming me down with a few words, he continued to analyzeNôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
"It's not urgent now, after all, she is the mistress of the Morris family. If we act rashly, we will inevitably be stopped by my father."
I think... Maria must have tried to stop my father from giving you that ten percent of shares, but
obviously, she didn't succeed. But knowing her, she must have other plans, so we still have to wait, until she exposes herself, everything will be much easier to handle
Yeah, Maria was a cunning woman, and probably a very patient person too
Otherwise, back then, in the situation where Mr
Morris was already married, she wouldn't have endured being a mistress and living in the shadows for so many years
So after hanging up the phone that day, I didn't rush to question Maria. Instead, I did nothing as Aaron instructed me and continued to pretend that I didn't know his whereabouts. Every day, I actively contacted the news media, putting on a show of being emotionally down because of the assets left behind by my husband being merged
To be honest, Aaron's sixth sense seemed to be even stronger than mine
It was probably less than a week after our conversation that I received another invitation from Maria
She had a smile on her face as she spoke on the phone, as if we had never had any arguments before. She was as loving as a biological mother

"Olive, my child, I think I should congratulate you on officially becoming a member of the Morris Group. Although you may not believe it, I genuinely want to wish you well and apologize for everything I said that day. Come home for dinner tonight, Joe is also there, and we can have a drink."
I hesitated for a moment, but quickly said nothing and accepted her invitation
Because the heart that wanted to uncover the truth could no longer be restrained, even though Old Morris was still staying in the hospital, I didn't know what kind of conspiracy or trick she would have when meeting me this time. But at least Joe was present, and I felt that at least I wouldn't be at a disadvantage, just like last time
For this, I even made a phone call to Joe. After receiving his confirmation that he would come home for dinner tonight, I became even more relieved
That evening, beside the dining table where I had sat countless times before, Joe, Maria, and I raised our glasses with smiles on our faces in a very eerie atmosphere
But at that moment, I didn't realize that it was because of Joe's presence that I found myself in a crisis that could have been irreparable that
