"I can bring some for you some other time."
Oliver nodded as the two walked into the villa.
Getting into the villa, Oliver realized there were about five neatly dressed ladies and two neatly dressed guys.
When they all saw Logan enter with a guy following her, they turned to look at each other in shock.
Logan, whom they knew for a long time, never entertains the opposite sex, so how come he walked in with a guy?
When Logan told them she was going to pick up someone, they expected the person to be a lady, not a guy.
Nora Steward, who was among the ladies, walked towards Logan and asked, "Logan, who's he?"
"Nora, he's Oliver Storm, my friend."
"Friend?" They all questioned at once.
They were all shocked because most of them had tried to befriend Logan, but it was to no avail; they could say Nora was their friend, but something couldn't be said for Logan.
Logan turned to Oliver and said, "Mr. Storm, she's my best friend, Nora Steward, and they're her friends."
"Once a year, we have a party to celebrate our friendship."
Oliver nodded, "Hello, Ms. Steward, nice meeting you."
Nora nodded with a smile and said, "I guess Mr. Storm is really capable of being able to befriend my stubborn friend."
Oliver smiled but said nothing.
"Well, let's all head to the dining room and have a good feast."
After some seconds, Logan came back from the kitchen with different varieties of dishes, which she placed on the table.
Nora also walked in with the wines.
"These are all dishes I took time to prepare with Nora, so I hope you all can enjoy them to the fullest."
"There are also a lot of wines, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, so you can drink to your satisfaction."
"That's very kind of Ms. Logan and Nora." They all said so as they started to dine.
"Mr. Storm, which one do you prefer?" Logan asked.
"Non-alcoholic drinks would be better for me."
Logan nodded as he poured a glass for him.
"Cheers to our years of friendship; Nora raised her cup to meet Logan's."
"To all my other friends here who have also been with me all time, cheers to you all." Nora said, raising her glass again.
Oliver, who was busily enjoying his meal and wine, suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him.
He raised his head only to see one guy among the two staring at him coldly as if he had an animosity towards him.
He was Jace Denson. Jace had fallen in love with Logan and had tried his best to get Logan's attention, but all his efforts bore no fruit. Seeing Logan bring Oliver and treat him well, he felt jealous and mad.
Oliver didn't take his cold stare to heart but rather continued with his food.
"Mr. Storm, there are more dishes, and you're my special guest, so you should eat more." Logan said.
Oliver chuckled. "Logan, thank you for your kind treatment."
"So what work is Mr. Storm doing?" Jace, who had been quiet all this time, finally asked.
All eyes were now on Oliver when Jace asked the question. Logan wanted to say something but swallowed her words.
"Actually, I am not working."
"What!" They were all shocked upon hearing Oliver's reply. How could Logan befriend someone who wasn't working?
Even Logan couldn't believe that Oliver wasn't working, but she felt it was normal for someone as rich as him.
"Is Mr. Storm really speaking the truth?" Nora questioned.
Oliver smiled and replied, "I'm not working."
Even though they were shocked, Jace was rather filled with joy. He wanted to use the opportunity to humiliate Oliver.
"How about we all donate an amount to Logan and Nora to show our appreciation?" "The amount shouldn't be less than 10,000 bucks Jace said."The rest nodded and said, "Yes, this is the best way to thank Nora and Logan for the love they've shown to us."In reality, Jace actually brought up this idea just to intimidate Oliver. Since he said he wasn't working, it meant he would not be able to afford that amount.Even though they themselves weren't as rich as Logan or Nora, 10,000 bucks wasn't anything big in their eyes.Oliver, who had seen through Jace's plan, smirked lightly but said nothing."No, this isn't needed; this is just from my heart; how can I take money from you people?" Logan said."Yes, Jace, you're all my good friends; there's no need to show any appreciation for our friendship." Moreover, we aren't short of cash, right?" Nora also said"Logan and Nora, please don't reject this; we are doing this from our own hearts.""We are all grateful for your endless love and support
Jace was now done with his contribution, and he was the highest contributor; Oliver was the only person left.All eyes were now on Oliver; they were waiting for him to send his contribution."Oliver, you're the only one left." The other guy saidThe truth is, they all now understood what Jace was trying to do, which was mock Oliver, so they were going to give him their support.Logan's heart was racing as her beautiful face stared at him. Even though Oliver bought a villa for $15 million, she did not know why she felt nervous, as if Oliver would lose to Jace.Maybe it's because she thought Jace's family was richer and she knew nothing about Oliver's background."Buddy, your friend would be embarrassed if he lost to Jace; don't you have any solutions to save him from this?" Nora asked Logan in a low tone.Logan bit her lip but said nothing. Her nervous face made her beauty bloom more.Oliver fished out his phone from his pocket; he didn't put the 150,000 Jace had sent in his eyes; afte
Nora's eyes widened in shock while staring at her phone screen.On her phone, it said that Oliver had transferred an amount of 100,000 bucks to her. She couldn't believe her eyes as she kept refreshing her notifications, but that was the reality.Logan, who was also beside Nora, saw that Oliver had transferred $150,000 to her account, but instead of being shocked like Nora, she was happy that Oliver wouldn't lose to Jace.Seeing the shock plastered on Nora's face, Jace thought she was shocked because Oliver had transferred something less than 10,000. Thinking of this, he said,"Nora, why don't you show us your phone screen?"Hearing this, Nora raised her phone, showing the screen to everybody. "Mr. Storm just transferred 100,000 to my account." Nora said. "Gasp!" They all took a sharp breath upon hearing Nora speak. The place was so quiet at that moment that, even if a needle was dropped at that moment, its sound would be heard.In their eyes, it was useless for a jobless person l
At the same time, in Boston Hill's City Hospital, a young, beautiful woman with her eyes closed as if she were dead was being rushed into the hospital's emergency ward by the doctors. This young, beautiful lady was none other than Oliver's wife, Zelda Ellison. Earlier, when she spoke to Oliver on the phone, she was pained by his words and decided to end her life since he had developed a deep hatred for her and they were going to divorce."Nurse, would my daughter be fine?" Abigail, who was following, asked in tears."Woman, please wait outside," a nurse said as they rushed Zelda into the ward and shut the doors.A few minutes later, a female doctor walked out of the emergency room.She was Megan Lane, the goddess doctor of Boston Hill's. Not only was Megan fair, but she was also beautiful and had the perfect body every man would wish for."Doctor Megan, please, how is my daughter?" Abigail asked immediately.Megan was pretty famous in Boston Hills, so it wasn't shocking that Abigail
After some minutes, a brand-new blue Hyundai Kona parked at City Hospital. It was Alex, whom Abigail had called a few minutes ago. After receiving a call from Abigail, Alex dropped all that he was doing and rushed to City Hospital. "Mom, what's wrong?" What are you doing at the hospital at such a late hour, and why do you look so anxious? Alex questioned. Seeing Alex's new car, she was convinced that he was the only person who would be able to save zelda. "Alex, you need to help me." "Zelda is in there struggling for her life; you need to save your future wife." For someone as greedy as Abigail, she wouldn't mind trying to hook Zelda up with anyone, so long as the other party was rich. "I saw Zelda lying motionless in her room after coming back from town and rushed her here." According to the doctor, she has taken in poison, and they need $300,000 for the operation. Abigail's tears couldn't stop flowing as she explained everything to Alex. Despite the fact that Abigail alway
Chapter 17."Mr. Storm is going to be the first person to spin the bottle." Nora said.WooThe smile on Jace's face vanished instantly. He was expecting to be the first person to spin the bottle, but Oliver got that chance. He stared at Oliver coldly.Oliver nodded as he picked up the bottle and sipped it immediately.Woosh.The bottle started spinning as all eyes were focused on it, waiting to see who it fell on.Logan's eyes widened as she stared at the bottle's movement.After a few seconds, the bottle stopped spinning as it pointed at someone.All eyes were now on Logan. The bottle stopped in her direction, meaning she was now supposed to kiss Oliver—or the other way around."Oh my, this guy is really lucky; he even gets to kiss Logan," the others blurted out.
"Jace, what's wrong with you?" Nora asked in a cold tone. Logan, whose eyes were now opened, started to get angry. Of course, she was aware that Jace was only doing this because he was jealous. He had tried all ways to prove his love to her, but she never felt the same way about him. Seeing Jace jealous, she felt like pouring kerosene into his jealous flames. "Jace, thank you for this, but you can't decide for me, and yes, I want Oliver to kiss me." Poof Jace's expression turned cold; he was trying all ways to destroy this, but now Logan herself approved of it. "It's all his fault." "If I don't take you to task later, then you can change my name." He murmured. Seeing Jace's expression, Oliver didn't know whether to laugh or cry; he felt the anger boiling in Jace's body, but he didn't put it in his eyes. "Logan, think about..." Jace didn't finish his sentence when Logan raised her hand to signal him to stop talking. "Of course I'm ready for this," she said as she stood up and
"Oliver, it's all because of you. Your bad luck has affected my daughter. "I promise, if something happens to Zelda, I'll make sure you're jailed for the rest of your life.""Mom, what are you talking about?" "What happened to Zelda?" Oliver asked anxiously.He didn't understand why his mother-in-law would just call him and blame him for something he knew nothing about."You still dare ask me questions?""I swear in this hospital I am now that if something happens to Zelda, I won't spare you." Immediately after this, the call was disconnected."Hello mom," he tried calling out, but the call had already been dropped."Why did mom mention the hospital?""Could it be that something has happened to Zelda?"Thinking of this, Oliver panicked. Although their marriage wasn't a love one, he truly loved and cared much about Zelda.Without wasting time, he rushed back into the hall where Logan and the others were.Seeing Oliver's anxious face, they were all confused."Mr. Storm, is there any pro
