“The client for the custom ring.”
“Huh?”
Jennie thought about it for a long time but still could not figure out what Smith had to do with the
lawsuit.
“Pheebs, what on earth are you talking about?”
“I designed the ring because Mr. Smith was going to propose. If we could find him and make him testify,
we’d have a better chance at winning the lawsuit.”
“Yes!”
Jennie jumped up and clapped her hands, saying, “Gosh, why didn’t I think of that?”
However, her spirits sank again on second thought. “Pheebs, it’s been more than two years. It’s even a
problem whether we can find him. Besides, what if he doesn’t want to go to court?”
“I’m not thinking that much. Let’s find him first.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOlivia was not quite sure about this either, but she had to try.
She was pretty sure the TR incident was targeted at her.
Therefore, she refused to give up and would fight to the end.
“Pheebs…”
Jennie was genuinely horrified. She grabbed her head and sobbed, “What on earth is going on?
Everything’s been going wrong lately. It’s our blood, sweat, and tears…”
Looking at her behavior, Olivia crouched down, hugged her, and sighed. “I’m sorry, Jennie.”
“Why are you apologizing? You didn’t plagiarize. They’re framing us!”
“I’m sorry.”
Olivia did not know what else to say but sorry.
If it was not for her, the atelier would not have been targeted.
Jennie cried for a while and wiped her eyes, saying, “Pheebs, I’m fine. I just panicked for a second. I
thought it through now.
“Whatever it is, I can’t let them take The One so easily. It’s our blood, sweat, and tears. We must fight
them!
“I have a little bit of money. I’ll sell my two houses and ask my parents…”
With that said, she snuffled. “I know it’s not enough. It wouldn’t be enough even if we sold your houses,
but you’re right. We can’t just sit back and do nothing.”
Olivia helped her wipe her tears. “I’ll see if I can spare some money too.”
Suddenly, Jennie looked up at her and said, “Pheebs, what about the guy who funded you to start the
atelier? Can’t you borrow some money from him?”
“I’m afraid not.”
“What about Xavier?” Jennie grabbed her. “He’s rich, and he likes you. Ask him. He’ll give you some.
Olivia shook off her hand and said with a frown, “Jennie, it’s not that I don’t want to ask. It’s that I
can’t ask.”
“Why? Pheebs, let’s wait until the atelier gets over this if anything. Xavier’s not going to force you.”
Olivia said nothing and walked to the window with her head down.
Annoyed, Jennie got up and ran after her. “Phoebe, stop it, okay? I’m willing to sell my houses to settle

do so.
“Do you think you can carry all the burden? You think too highly of…”
“It’s not about my dignity!” Olivia retorted, turning her head.
“What is it then? Go on!”
“He saved my life, and I already owe him my life. How can I pay him back if I ask him for more money?”
Jennie was stunned. She had no idea.
“He saved your
life?”
“Yes!” Olivia’s eyes reddened as she felt aggrieved. “Jenson tried to kill me the day I was kidnapped.
He got stabbed for me. Otherwise, why would he be hospitalized?
“Jennie, it’s not that I won’t give in. It’s that I can’t give in anymore!
“You thought it’s just a request, but I’m the one making it. How am I gonna repay him? Am I supposed
to offer myself to him?”
