Chapter 172: Came Prepared

Finally realizing that there must be something wrong with Oliver, his secretary nudges him a little and
asks nervously, “Mr. Young, what happened? Are you not feeling well?”

Oliver quivers and gasps at the nudge, then says with a blank face, “No… I am fine. I just saw… some
people I know.”

The secretary follows his line of sight and suddenly realizes, “Oh! Isn’t that President Smith? What a
coincidence, he is here at the mall today! Shall we I go and greet him?”

Oliver flusters immediately.

Go and face them? With them being affectionate so intimately?

Does he have the courage to do that?

Should he go and greet them as if nothing happened between them? And casually say: Hey! What a
coincidence meeting you guys here.

Or… hold on to Elaine’s hand and cry: Elaine, why did you choose Emmett instead of me?

He doesn’t want to be a part of either of these scenes!

Oliver shakes his head fiercely and flatly refuses, “No need for that! There’s not much time before the
meeting, let’s go”

“Sure!” Of course, the secretary nods without any objection.

However, someone is not going to let him escape that easily.

Emmett suddenly raises his head and smiles at Oliver, as if he has just spotted him. Then he raises his
hand and waves it lightly.



“Hey! Oli, what a coincidence!”

Emmett greets him “enthusiastically”, basically killing Oliver on the spot.

Elaine is startled to hear “Oli”. She quickly raises her head and looks around.

Finally, her eyes land on Oliver with his arm in a sling.

She sees his deathly pale face and his expressions that scream of absolute pain and hurt.

Seeing him look like that, her heart can’t help but grieve.

Is he looking so much in pain because he bled a lot from his arm?

“Oliver!” Elaine frowns and calls out his name with a little worry in her tone.

Oliver manages to bend his lips into a stiff ugly smile and nods, “Hi, Elaine, Emmett!”

Kayden massages his temples.

Sure enough, Master came here prepared.

Having grown up with Emmett, he knows too much about his personality and temperament.

He knows, Emmett never does meaningless things, nor does he fight any battles unprepared.

Compared to Emmett, Oliver’s subtlety is laughable. He is too obvious.

It’s just that Kayden didn’t know that such good friends like his master and Oliver, would really fall out
with each other and become enemies just because of a woman.

His master behaving like this is already strange enough, but for his target to be the playboy of the
century, Oliver, is even more strange.



These two men are originally the kind of immature playboys who never take women seriously, but now
they are both this serious for the same woman.

“Elaine, weren’t you worried about Oliver? Look, what a coincidence, he is here too. Let’s go and greet
him.”

Emmett speaks in a very “considerate” tone. He raises his eyes, smiling sharply at Oliver as he places
his hand around Elaine’s waist and walks towards Oliver.

Oliver’s heart beats violently, threatening to break out of his ribs as Elaine walks towards him.

Oliver’s secretary has no choice but to reach out a hand and support Oliver.

But he can’t be helped, his whole body is shaking wildly.

By the time Elaine and Emmett reach them, Oliver’s lips are white and his face bloodless.

He is restraining himself with all his strength. He wants to run over and pull Elaine into his arms. He
wants to punch Emmett in the face with his fist.

However, he can’t do anything. He can only stare at Elaine with an unwavering gaze and grit his teeth.

Elaine, my love! I swear, I will use all my power to win your heart.

Elaine, will you fall in love with me some day?

I will look forward to that day…

“Hi, Oli. What a coincidence meeting you here!”

Emmett smiles brightly.



Oliver looks at Elaine with deep love, a lump forming in his throat threatening to choke him.

“Elaine, last night… Are you okay?”

Emmett’s face sinks slightly, his expressions turning sour.

How dare Oliver directly ignore his words!

Elaine frowns at the mention of last night.

Last night… how can she explain? How can she tell Oliver that last night she didn’t sleep almost all
night because she was being ruthlessly tortured by someone?

Of course, she can’t say it! She is not shameless; she can’t say such a thing ever.

Elaine smiles bitterly, “Yeah, I’m fine.”

Oliver takes a deep breath and then says very quickly in a low voice, “Elaine, I don’t care about who
you were, no matter how was your past, I still like you. I will always like you! Really! I have made up my
mind to…”

“Oliver, tell me if there are any contraceptives with less side effects, can you?”

Emmett coldly interrupts and pierces Oliver’s heart with the cruel sword of his well-chosen words.

Contraceptives?!

Oliver forgets to breath as he stands there speechless.

Suddenly, he takes a shuddering breathe and looks at them in panic. He looks at Emmett, who has a
deep and meaningful smile in his eyes. Then he looks down at the simple and innocent Elaine, and
suddenly he can’t exhale.



Which works out for him. He is sure that if he had tried to exhale, he would have vomited blood all over
the floor.

Elaine closes her eyes and wrinkles her nose in embarrassment.

How brazen is Emmett? She is speechless! How can he talk about contraceptives in front of so many
people like this?

Elaine notices that Oliver’s left arm is shaking quite violently. She can’t help but free herself from
Emmett’s arms and walk two steps forwards to Oliver. She suddenly holds his arm and asks nervously,
“Oliver, is your arm okay? I saw yesterday, it was bleeding again. Is the wound torn again? Does it still
hurt? Did you go to a doctor?”

Her unmasked concern makes Oliver feel a little better.

However, it makes Emmett’s expressions turn dark.

Damn it! How is she still so worried about Oliver?

Looks like this heartless woman has forgotten all about the promise she made to him last night.

Even though he obviously knows that Elaine is only worried about Oliver because she is grateful to him
and that she doesn’t have any feelings for him as a man, this scene still makes him infuriated.

Oliver gently strokes her face with his fingers. His quick move makes Emmett clench his hands into
fists, and almost punch him.

If only Elaine can close her eyes and cover her ears, he would definitely hit Oliver severely.

He dares to touch Elaine; he is a dead man walking.



Oliver smiles bitterly and says softly, “Don’t worry, I am okay. My arm is okay. If you go with me to get
the dressing changed, I think the wound will heal faster.”

Originally, Oliver wanted to restrain his emotions. However, seeing Elaine in front of him, he suddenly
wants to act like a baby; he wants to cry and cling on to her.

Although, Elaine is a simple silly girl, she also has a strong side to her.

She is like the sun, with waves of warmth radiating from her body.

Her warmth makes Oliver want to run to her, and he can’t stop himself.

Emmett’s face is livid with anger, his eyes are shooting flames at Oliver.

Elaine immediately agrees, “Really? If I have time then I would definitely accompany you. You were
injured trying to save me. You must rest well and let it heal properly, okay?”

Oliver glances faintly at Emmett, seeing the anger in his eyes, and smiles at Elaine, “Okay. For you, I
will take care of my body.”

The secretary reminds Oliver, “Mr. Young, there’s not much time left until the meeting…”

“Good-bye, Elaine. I need to go up to the meeting. I will call you when I get free.”

“Sure! Take care of your arm.”

Elaine says it again.

Emmett’s eyes narrow dangerously.



Oliver raises his eyes and glares at Emmett. Their gazes are so strong that sparks can almost be seen
flying from their eyes.

These sparks imply fire, smoke, a war…

Elaine watches Oliver’s figure disappear, then turns around slowly and is shocked by the coldness of
Emmett’s expressions.

“What’s wrong? Are you angry again?”

She really thinks that Emmett cares too much. Is it possible that him being jealous of everything is a
way of expressing his love?

Emmett sighs, rearranges his expressions to look relaxed, and says, “No, I’m not angry. Anyway, I
know you don’t like him like that.”

However, Elaine is not listening to him. She frowns, lost in her own thoughts and says, “Looks like his
wound is very serious. It’s all because of me. I am really worried about his arm’s recovery.”

Kayden withdraws as far away from them as he can.

It is clear that Master is seriously upset because of her words.

After buying a new cellphone for Elaine, Emmett drops her home.

“Kayden, send someone over to keep an eye on her. If Oliver approaches her, report it to me
immediately.”

Emmett orders him casually in the car.

Kayden is stunned, then he quickly responds, “Yes, Master!”



Is his master really that anxious just for a woman?

“By the way, Master, I have received news that Miss Juliana will be coming to China soon.”

Emmett frowns, “Why is she coming here for?”

Actually, Emmett has already figured out the reason. He is too intelligent.
