Chapter 1136 A Banter
Christoff scratched his chin with a smug grin on his face. "Easy. If it were me, I'll kidnap
someone and blackmail you to give me the necklace."
Olivia coldly remarked, "Not all people are as bad as you."
He pushed, "And what makes you think they aren't bad people?"
She emphasized, "They aren't bad people. The leader of the group isn't like you."
"How are we different?"
"Your vibes are just not the same."
He gasped in disbelief. "Hold it right there! What's wrong with my vibe? Do I look like a
bad guy to you?"
She giggled at his antics. "The words 'bad guy' are written all over you from head to toe."
A shadow fell on Christoff's face. However, the frustration inside his chest vanished in the
blink of an eye at the sight of her smile.
"You wouldn't survive this long if I was a bad guy... I would've made—" A move on you. He
didn't finish the sentence.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe almost told her the truth. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Henry, and the
realization hit him. Her father is here. I shouldn't say anything inappropriate. Therefore, he
bit his tongue, forcing the sentence to a stop.
Olivia had no idea about his dilemma. She burst into laughter. "That means my
friendliness has made you more humane."
He watched as she smirked. She got on his nerves, but he couldn't do anything with her.
"Whatever. You should continue your efforts. Just don't turn me into something in
between."
Henry's eyes darted between Olivia and Christoff. What's the relationship between them?
Why does he keep staring at my daughter?
"Olivia, you haven't introduced us. Who is this?"
Olivia vaguely answered, "He's a friend."
Christoff turned to Henry immediately. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Maxwell."
"Nice to meet you too. Where are you from? How did you know each other?"
Christoff smiled at the second question. "It all started that day..."
Olivia didn't want Henry to ask more questions, so she interrupted, "Dad, you should go.
Send the group to me if they dare to reach out to you again. Just agree with their terms
and do as told if they ever threaten you. They are coming after the necklace, so they
won't hurt you at all."
Henry hummed a response. "All right. Look out for yourself too. Remember to tell Eugene
too. His men can keep an eye on you in secret."
She was surprised to hear his suggestion. Ever since her mother passed away, it was the
first time he expressed concern for her.
She was touched by his gesture. She croaked, "I will."
Olivia returned to the main hall after she saw Henry off. Not long after she found a seat,
Christoff approached her. "I'm staying in Summer City for a few more days. I can be your
bodyguard within this period if you want."
"Thanks, but no thanks. I'm capable of self-defense."
"Your loss."
"You better head back to your secret stronghold. Eugene won't let you go once he finds

His face leaned closer to hers. A mischievous spark gleamed in his eyes. "Aren't you
touched by me risking my safety all the way to apologize to you?"
"Not at all."
A disappointed frown pulled at the corners of his lips. "You're a heartless monster."
She let the statement slip. "Whatever. Just go. I can't save you if Eugene got you."
He shot her a smile. "Will you ever betray me?"
She refused to give him the answer he wanted. "I'm not sure. Maybe? Probably? Perhaps?"
He crossed his arms. "I thought we were friends. How could you backstab a friend?"
"But Eugene is my boyfriend," answered Olivia.
"You're a heartless monster. I need to tell you that."
"I can't help it. I learned it from you."
He chuckled. "I bet you would become my own kind if we spend more days together."
She smirked. "You wish! We're walking on different paths!"
"Watch your mouth!" Christoff reached out a hand and ruffled her hair with force.
Olivia swatted his hand away. "Stop messing up my hair, or I'll stick you with needles."
