Chapter 09

The mention of his wife made cold chills run down Oliver’s Spine. He felt uncomfortable and painful memories flashed through his mind again but he shrugged it off.

He knew that the Old Lord didn't know about his divorce so he wasn’t going to blame him for mentioning his wife and causing him more pain.

He’d tried really hard to forget all about Sienna Taylor and everything that came with her but the mention of her name just made everything crumble.

He wished they hadn’t divorced but he was also happy that they did because that only indicated that all those years together was a lie.

She never really loved him and the only reason she stayed with him was because they were in the same social class but now that Sienna got richer than him she’d thought that the next line of action was divorce.

“Sienna Taylor and I are no longer married to each other.” Oliver finally said after a long time of silence and the old lord was shocked to his core.

“What do you mean you are no longer married to each other?” The old lord asked, he was surprised because he wasn’t expecting anyone to let go of Oliver.

“Yes, we’re no longer together because we got a divorce.” Oliver dropped the bombshell and everyone except the young doctor and the girl gasped.

“What?” The old lord couldn’t believe his ears. He knew that Oliver was a one of a kind sort of person so it was shocking.

Which girl in her right state of mind would divorce Oliver Hudson?

On hearing that Oliver was divorced, the young doctor felt happy again. She was really glad to know that Oliver was divorced even though it was really sad news.

“I don’t wanna talk about it anymore, it’s just like opening up old wounds and I want to get over it.” Oliver explained and the old lord understood.

“Anyways, I’ll go take a rest now, I can’t burden myself anymore.” Oliver added and the old lord smiled.

“Perhaps my granddaughter can accompany you back?” The old lord asked and the girl’s face turned red in shyness.

“No please, don’t bother,” Oliver smiled, “I can manage on my own.” He added as he patted the old man’s shoulder.

“I have to go now.” He added again before turning to take his final leave, he heard his name and turned back to see the young doctor running after him.

What does she want from him?

“I… I… I’m…” She tried to introduce herself but she was stuttering and her face was red. Oliver knew that she was shy and that amused him but he didn’t show it.

“I’m Megan Kendrick,” the young doctor finally introduced herself properly. Oliver smiled and told her that she has a nice name.

“I… I was thinking that maybe I can get your phone number?” The young doctor rushed her words out when Oliver turned to leave again.

Her knees were weak and her hands were shaking as she handed her phone to Oliver so that he could punch in his number.

The girl also decided to send Oliver home even though Oliver had asked her not to bother. They both left and as soon as they left, the lord's face turned dark.

He was angry but he didn’t show it when Oliver was around and if he had told Oliver about his plans Oliver would’ve stopped him.

“Get me my phone!” He ordered the young doctor who immediately went to get the old lord's phone.

Lord Tate punched in some numbers and brought the phone to his ear as he waited for a response on the other end of the call.

“Lord Tate.” A voice came from the phone and lord Tate was relieved.

“I want you to withdraw and cancel all corporations with Sienna Taylor’s company.” He said into the phone angrily.

“Okay Sir, it will be done as soon as possible.” The voice from the other end of the phone said and the lord hung up.

He knew that Oliver wouldn’t take revenge so he decided to help Oliver with the revenge.

Oliver and the girl soon arrived at the house but there was a troop waiting for them. Oliver got out of the car to see the faces of angry gangsters.

Some had a stick with them, bats and everything that they intended to hit Oliver with and as soon as Oliver and the girl stepped out, the men surrounded them.

Behind the mobs of gangsters, Oliver saw an injured face and when he took a close look, it turned out to be Austin and Delilah Taylor.

He smirked and he wanted to say something but Delilah started talking before Oliver could.

“You think you can get away with anything, you wretched fool?!” Delilah sneered as soon as she saw Oliver but Oliver didn’t say anything.

“I’m going to teach you a lesson that you’re not going to forget in a haste!” Delilah continued, her face was red in anger.

“How dare you hit my son?!” She finished and the girl with Oliver also sneered. She had forgotten to bring her bodyguards when she first came but this time, she didn’t forget.

“Are you done with your empty threats or is there more where it came from?” The girl asked.

Delilah and Austin were shocked to see that a girl as fragile as that was talking back at them and their anger grew deeper.

Austin wanted to walk towards the girl when a convoy of cars surrounded them. Austin turned around and soon the car stopped.

Tens of men in black got out of the car and surrounded both Oliver, the girl, Austin, Delilah and the mobs.

They all looked well trained and angry, they looked like they don’t take nonsense from anyone and they’re ready to kill anybody who crossed the line.

The gangsters were terrified and soon all of their weapons started falling out of their hands. Austin and Delilah were shocked too.

Who are these men and why they protecting Oliver and the girl?
