I’m Someone Else

Chapter 264

Chapter 264

Gunnar didn’t even dare to avoid it. He let the boiling hot tea splash all over him.

Quincy wasn’t boasting. Gunnar knew that if his father was here today, his father would’ve been treated the same way too. His grandfather was the only one in the family who was of the same status as Quincy, but even so, his grandfather would be the one giving in to Quincy.

Who would’ve thought that the renowned Genius of Capitalis would be berated and ridiculed by a fifty- year-old man?

If word got out, the people of Capitalis would probably be so shocked that their jaws dropped!

Quincy stood up and wagged his finger at Gunnar. “On behalf of your parents, I’m going to teach you a proper lesson today! I’m not happy that you tried to lay your hand on Olivia just now. Come and apologize at once! Don’t even think about walking out of here in one piece if Olivia isn’t satisfied!”

Gunnar trembled. Judging by how furious Quincy was, there was a high chance that he would do just as he said. Even though Gunnar was known as the Genius of Capitalis, in Quincy’s eyes, he was just a small fry who knew a thing or two. He couldn’t do anything if Quincy genuinely wanted to teach him a lesson.

He fearfully walked over to Olivia and bowed. “I’m sorry.”

“Louder! I can’t even hear you!” Quincy shot Gunnar with an icy glare.

Gunnar jolted and his voice grew a few decibels louder. “I’m sorry!”

Quincy kicked Gunnar in the butt. “Did you go hungry today?”

“I’m sorry, Miss Pearson! I made a huge mistake!” Gunnar basically cried out at the top of his lungs.

Olivia glanced at Gunnar, her eyes filled with disdain. “That’s enough. I’ll begrudgingly forgive you. Stay away from me. I don’t ever want to see you again.”

Quincy waved his hand impatiently. “Did you not hear what she said? Hurry up and get lost. If you don’t, I’ll make sure you remain in Irieson for good!”

Too scared to dawdle, Gunnar turned around and hurried out of the room. Once he was out the door, he ran all the way out of the hotel.

His entourage saw him at the entrance and quickly went up to him. “What’s the matter, Mr. Gunnar?”

To their shock, Gunnar was ghostly pale and his eyes were flickering with terror. Did something happen to Mr. Gunnar? That’s impossible! Mr. Gunnar isn’t afraid of anyone! They’re the ones who have to be afraid of him.

“Quick! Book a ticket back to Capitalis!”

Gunnar instructed the two men. He didn’t want to spend even a minute longer in Irieson.

Once he finished speaking, he scrambled into the Mercedes-Benz. He had to call his father. He had accidentally offended Quincy so he had to report the situation at once.

Back inside the private dining room in the hotel, Leah was still standing awkwardly.

“You’re older than me so I shouldn’t be saying this, but don’t you think you’re quite shameless? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself for acting like this at your age?” Quincy scoffed at Leah. Leah belonged to the same generation as his father, but that didn’t stop him from rebuking her.

“Even Terrence and Norman don’t have the right to dictate Olivia’s life. Who do you think you are? What makes you think you can decide her life for her?”

Leah lowered her head. She didn’t dare say anything.

It wasn’t just Irieson. Quincy’s name commanded respect even in Capitalis. However, he was famous for being a cordial and easygoing person. It was her first time ever seeing him this furious.

Even Gunnar, the Genius of Capitalis, had been given a harsh scolding. Leah was even less likely to speak up, and all she could do was listen in silence.

There was no telling what Quincy would do if she pissed him off even further.

“Leah, Leah. I’ve seen all kinds of people in my fifty years of living, but I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you! What were you even thinking? How dare you use Declan’s wife’s life to threaten him and force him to trick Olivia into coming over? Isn’t Declan your own son? My, my. You’re even willing to threaten your own son like that! Can you even call yourself a mother? Oh. I stand corrected. You can’t even call yourself a human!”

Quincy became more and more emotionally charged, and by the time he finished speaking, he threw a cup straight at her.

Just like Gunnar, Leah was too afraid to dodge. She stood still and allowed the cup to smash into her.

Meanwhile, Olivia was stunned. Earlier, she had been hurt by the fact that Declan, the uncle she trusted the most, had tricked her. She couldn’t accept it. However, after hearing what Quincy said, she realized that Declan had been forced into this too!

No wonder Uncle Declan didn’t dare to look me in the eyes just now. He was forced into doing this too.

Using Aunt Yuna’s life to threaten Uncle Declan? That’s the same as torturing him!

Olivia had to be honest with herself. If someone made her trick Declan on the threat of Thomas’ life, she might’ve agreed to do it too.

All at once, she no longer resented Declan. He’s still my Uncle Declan.

“Where’s Declan and his wife? You don’t expect me to look for them myself, right?”

Quincy was a smart man. He knew that Declan and Yuna had to be in the hotel too, but he didn’t know where Leah had hidden them. Since he came over today, he was going to take all three of them away!

Leah nodded and ordered her subordinates to bring the couple over.

Soon, Declan and Yuna came to the room.

“Mr. Hofstead!”

Declan was quite agitated, but when he saw Olivia, he lowered his head guiltily. After all, he did trick Olivia into coming here.

“Are you two alright?”

“Yes, Mr. Hofstead. We’re fine.”

Quincy nodded and turned back to Leah. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to, Leah. The Wilkersons are the Wilkersons. Olivia isn’t part of your family, so don’t even try to use her as your sacrifice! If you want to sacrifice someone, sacrifice your other granddaughter! Also, we’re all smart people here. You don’t need to put on an act in front of me. Don’t act like you’re trying to help Olivia with her fate! There are plenty of capable people in this world. Someone else will help her. You don’t need to get involved!”

“This is my final warning. If you ever try to lay a finger on Olivia again, I won’t show you any mercy. Don’t think the Wilkersons are so great. You Wilkersons don’t scare me! Now leave!”

Leah fled the room as if she had just been granted amnesty. Although she was displeased with Quincy, she couldn’t do anything. Even if her husband came over, he wouldn’t have the guts to do anything to Quincy either.

Quincy turned to Olivia and instructed, “Remember this, Olivia. If you ever run into any sort of trouble, just come to me for help. Try your best to keep it from Thomas.”
