After making all the necessary arrangements, Olivia went back to her office and packed up to leave. She didn’t plan on driving. Just as Thomas had said, she was a destroyer of cars, so it was safer if she stayed away from the wheel. She took a cab back to Northpine Villa instead.

Soon after she got home, the doorbell rang.

Olivia jumped in fright. Despite her attempt at acting tough back at Keyshire Property, deep down inside, she was quite terrified. Thomas, her main source of protection, wasn’t with her, and Gunnar had repeatedly tried to grab her by force, so she didn’t know what she could do if he came right to her doorstep.

“Who is it?” Olivia mustered up her courage and called out fearfully.

“It’s me, Olivia. Open up!” Harrison called out.

“Oh! It’s you, Grandpa Harrison. I’ll be right there!”

Olivia relaxed and ran to get the door.

“It’s getting late, Grandpa Harrison. Why did you come over at this hour?” Olivia was confused.

Harrison chuckled and gave a random excuse. “I missed you so I decided to pay you a visit.”

He hadn’t been having a good time lately. Everyone knew that the Six Greatest Families wanted to bring forward the day of the sacrifice. For the past few days, he had been cracking his head trying to think of a way to help Olivia out of her crisis, but he couldn’t think of anything.

Olivia poured Harrison a cup of tea. “Have some tea, Grandpa Harrison.”
