Revenge on My Heartless Husband and Daughter (Tiffany) novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175

“I understand,” Gai said meekly and then sat back in her seat to avoid the two men’s eyes.

An uncomfortable silence filled the car, and Richard tried to engage Alexander in conversation, but his attempts were futile.

Alexander was stewing with silent rage in his seat. He crossed his arms and stared out the window. He couldn’t believe that Olivia was spreading rumors about his dating life to his other employees. How unprofessional was that?

After five minutes of getting worked up about Olivia gossiping behind his back, Alexander couldn’t take it anymore. He had to act. His jaw clenched with anger as he took his phone out of his pocket and jabbed Olivia’s name on his screen. As the phone rang, the car remained silent until he forgot that there were two other people in the car. Right now, this was between him and Olivia.

Olivia was at a rest stop with Ava and Aiden. They had stopped for a quick lunch in the middle of their road trip. Her heart slammed against her chest as she looked down at her phone. It was Alexander. Hopefully, he wasn’t calling about checking his work emails. She had brought her laptop, but she wasn’t sure she would have reception here.

“Hi, Alexander, how’s your trip going?” Olivia said when she answered her phone.

She moved away from Ava and Aiden and shielded her eyes from the glare of the sun. Cars passed her by on the busy highway, blowing her long hair behind her.

“Hi, there, Olivia,”

His cold tone made her freeze. Immediately, Olivia knew that something was wrong.

“Is everything alright, Alexander?” she asked and swallowed nervously.

“No, everything is not alright,” he replied in a clipped voice. “I’m calling to ask if untrue rumors amuse you?”

Olivia’s eyebrows drew together in confusion. “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” she admitted honestly.

This just made Alexander even more angry. “I want to know if you find pleasure in spreading rumors about your boss.”

“Alexander, honestly, I have-”

Olivia was interrupted by Aiden’s loud voice.

“Hey, Olivia! Come over here so I can feed you some watermelon.”

Olivia’s stomach swooped with panic. She tried to cover the phone speaker so that Alexander couldn’t hear Aiden, but she hung up the call by accident.

Apprehension coursed through her body. “Guys, we should get back on the road,” Olivia told the other two.

Anger flooded through Alexander. He couldn’t believe that she had the audacity to hang up on him. Did she have a guy at her house and didn’t. want him to know?

Richard hesitantly looked at Alexander. “Was that a…guy’s voice?”

Gai let out a gasp, and Alexander turned to her. “What do you know?” he asked. “Is she with a guy?”

Gai bit her lip and shook her head.

“Tell me,” Alexander said in a rough, commanding tone.

“Mike saw Olivia in the parking garage across from her apartment building hugging a young man and then getting in a car and leaving with him,” Gai rushed out, then slapped a hand over her mouth, regret shining in her eyes.

Guilt settled low in her stomach for selling out her friend. But Gai had never done well under pressure.

“What did this guy look like?” Richard asked calmly. He wanted to take over the questioning because Alexander’s face was turning red with rage.

“Do me a favor, Richard,” Alexander said through gritted teeth.

“Yeah, boss?”

“Keep your opinions to yourself.”

I sat in the backseat of my car as Aiden drove, and Ava chatted happily to her brother. Crossing my arms, I stared nervously out the window. Guilt ate away at me for accidentally hanging up on Alexander and for- not telling him that I was headed to Luceland this weekend, too. My stomach stiffened with fear as I thought about how he would react if he knew I had copied his travel plans.

Ava straightened in her seat, startling me out of my thoughts. “Hey…is that Alexander’s car?” she asked.

My heart raced as I looked behind us, and sure enough, I spotted Alexander’s, although Richard was the one driving. They were only a few cars behind us.

This wasn’t good.

Ava turned around and looked at me with confusion. “Why is Alexander following us?”

I sighed and decided to come clean. “He isn’t. Alexander planned a trip to Luceland for a different reason before we planned ours.” I couldn’t help the bitterness in my voice when I pictured Naomi’s perfect face.

But I had bigger problems right now. I’d managed to get a quick peak at Alexander’s face, and he had been frowning, his dark eyes in angry slits. Quickly, I took my phone out to message Gai and asked why Alexander looked so mad.

I waited for a full five minutes, but she didn’t reply.

Pretty soon, Alexander’s car was right behind us, and my stomach rolled with anxiety.

I didn’t want to find out what would happen if he caught up to us.
