I’m Someone Else

Chapter 263

Chapter 263

After all these years, Olivia was the only woman who ever aroused Gunnar’s excitement. Only a fiery one like her has ever stirred up my desire to subdue her. The more Olivia protested, the more interested he became.

Gunnar wasn’t known as the Genius of Capitalis solely because of his talent in martial arts. He was exceptionally intelligent as well.

He had been momentarily dazed by Olivia’s mad dash for the door, but it had only been for the briefest moment. Following that, he realized that Olivia had simply pretended to go along with his and Leah’s desires. Her real intention was to escape when the two of them let their guard down.

Just as Gunnar’s hand was about to make contact with Olivia, the situation took a 180-degree turn.

A silhouette swooped in beside Olivia and a fist smashed against Gunnar’s hand.

Gunnar stumbled three steps back before he could regain his balance. He looked up and saw that the figure was none other than Quincy!

Apart from the art of medicine, Quincy was also trained in martial arts. However, he kept a low profile and few knew about that. He was able to force the Genius of Capitalis to take three steps back with just a single hit which made it clear just how strong he was.

Quincy shielded Olivia behind him before glaring icily at Gunnar and Leah.

Gunnar’s heart sank when he saw it was Quincy who came. Why is Quincy Hofstead here? Olivia just greeted him. Do they know each other? Is he here to stand up for Olivia? If that’s true, then everything is screwed! Before leaving Capitalis, Gunnar’s father had repeatedly warned him that Quincy was the only person in Irieson that he shouldn’t offend no matter what.

Leah’s expression wasn’t any better either. The Hofsteads and the Pearsons were acquainted. Maybe Quincy really is here to stand up for Olivia!

“Why are you here, Mr. Hofstead?” Olivia was a little taken aback. “Let go of me, Mr. Hofstead. I need to run! It’ll be too late if I don’t leave now.”

“Run?” Quincy frowned hard. “I’m here, Olivia, so you don’t need to run. Come. Follow me. I’ll make sure you get justice today!”

Quincy took Olivia’s hand and walked into the private room.

Leah and Gunnar followed them in. Both were busy with their own thoughts.

Quincy had been at the hospital poring over The Imperial Acupuncture when he got the text from Declan. He got a huge fright and immediately rushed over as quickly as possible. Olivia would’ve been at Leah’s mercy by now if he had been just a few seconds later.

He never thought that Leah would have the gall to touch Olivia and to do so through such heinous means! I’ll teach you a lesson on Thomas’ behalf!

Others might be afraid of you but I’m not! Since you like messing with other people so much, I’ll mess with you too!

Quincy gestured at the sumptuous spread and said, “Dig in, Olivia! Don’t be shy, and don’t worry about anything. With me around, no one can lay a finger on you!”

He knew that Olivia wouldn’t have eaten yet, and he wasn’t in any rush. He could wait until Olivia had her meal first before he settled the score with the other two.

Quincy didn’t tell Thomas about this. Thomas was under enough pressure as he was dealing with three of the Six Greatest Families by himself. Furthermore, he understood Thomas well enough to know that

if Thomas found out about this, he would probably whip up a tornado!

It’s best to not tell him about this. I can handle small matters like this myself.

Sure enough, Olivia was fairly hungry. She had been hard at work all day without sparing the time to eat a proper meal. Although she pretended to be calm earlier, she had been panicking like crazy on the inside. However, since Quincy promised to protect her, she knew she was probably safe now.

Olivia picked up a clean set of cutleries and began to eat.

“Eat up!” Quincy felt bad to see Olivia like this. Why must fate be so unfair to such a lovely young woman?

Leah and Gunnar glanced at each other. They walked over to the table to take a seat.

Quincy jerked his head up and snapped coldly, “Did I say you could sit down?”

The two of them jolted and froze. Neither one of them dared to take another step.

Quincy didn’t bother talking to them. Instead, he was very attentive to Olivia as he kept serving her food. He even poured a glass of water for her because he was afraid she would choke on her food.

Gunnar’s face had turned green. Even though he acted all high and mighty in front of Leah, he knew that he was nothing in front of Quincy who cared nothing for the so-called Genius of Capitalis!

What should I do? Why did he of all people appear out of the blue?

Gunnar was secretly thinking of a way to overcome this predicament. Even his father would have to treat Quincy with the utmost respect, let alone him.

Around fifteen minutes later, Olivia put her cutlery down and wiped her mouth with a napkin.

“Had enough to eat?” Quincy asked caringly.

“Yeah!” Olivia pointed at Leah and fumed, “It’s all that old hag’s fault! She keeps claiming to be my grandma. She got Uncle Declan to trick me into coming here to meet my so-called future husband! She even hit me because I said I’m not marrying him! She probably would’ve started hitting me again if you hadn’t come over just in time!”

“Oh, and that man over there. He was nothing but arrogant the whole time and kept saying that I’m not even good enough to marry him. Who even wants to marry him? He’s not good enough to marry me either! He disgusts me!”

Quincy’s expression turned icy. Declan had been very clear in his text. Leah had used Yuna to threaten him. How vicious!

Taylor didn’t know about this yet, but if he did, he certainly wouldn’t be letting Leah off the hook!

Although the Wilkersons had a great deal of influence in Capitalis, they were in Irieson right now, not Capitalis. The Saunder Family was probably not afraid of her.

“I’ll deal with you later, Leah. Let’s start with you, Gunnar!”

“If I recall correctly, the Flynns prioritize etiquette and filial piety the most, right? In that case, how did you turn into such a person? Just what did your parents teach you? How can you call yourself a man when you would stoop so low as to lay your hands on a helpless woman? Even your grandfather doesn’t scare me, let alone you! What’s the deal, huh? Are all the young ladies supposed to throw themselves at you just because you’re a genius?”

“You’re going to use force on a young lady just because she’s not interested in you? Who the hell do you think you are? Well, let me clear the air right here, right now. You’re not good enough for Olivia! Only one man in the world is worthy of her, and you’re not him!”

Quincy picked up a cup of tea and flung the liquid at Gunnar.
