Chapter 1210

Luke turned to her and said, "Boss, you should wait outside for a bit. It's about to get pretty ugly in here, and I don't want you to see something you'll regret."

Josefina waved him off. "Go ahead. If you can't handle it, I'll step in."

She stood up and strolled out, leaving the woman inside shaking from Josefina's words. But Josefina didn't spare her another glance-she just turned and left.

Outside, her phone buzzed. It was a video call from Oliver.

She answered, and Oliver's face filled the screen-eyes bright, a gentle smile playing at his lips, that familiar warmth shining through.

"Josie, have you eaten yet?" he asked.

"I have," she replied.

He narrowed his eyes, teasing, "Where are you? Josie, you're not getting into trouble again, are you?"

Josefina spun her camera around so he could see her surroundings. "I'm with Luke, working. We just caught someone who's been working with Cassandra. She's small- time, but I'm sure she'll be the breakthrough we need. Oliver, just admit it—your wife is awesome."

Josefina could already tell Oliver wasn't thrilled. She was running around again, getting herself into trouble. So she changed the subject right away.

He grinned. “You are awesome. But you've been a little reckless today. I heard what happened at school-everyone's talking about it. The media is calling you the brave University of Melbourne student who ran into danger to save someone. Josie, you really are incredible."

Josefina blinked her big dark eyes, her voice turning soft. "You say I'm awesome, but do you really think I can't take care of myself? Am I that helpless in your eyes?"

Oliver let out a helpless laugh. Josefina always had a way of leaving him speechless -he just couldn't help but spoil her.

"My darling, you're pregnant now. You have to be extra careful."

She smiled, "Don't worry. Our little one is perfectly healthy."

"You forgot your prenatal checkup again. Next time, you'll need to get the NT scan- I've already scheduled it. I'll go with you, okay?"

"Thank you, hubby."

Josefina's big, fluttery eyes were impossible for Oliver to resist. Any frustration he felt just melted away.

Suddenly, a scream rang out from inside the building-so loud Oliver heard it through the phone.

Josefina gave an awkward little laugh. “Uh, I'd better go check on that. I don't want anything to go too far."

She hung up.

On Oliver's side, the screen went dark, and his expression instantly turned cold. He pressed a button on his desk. "George.”

"Yes, Mr. Oliver." George rushed in.

Oliver's voice was low and

commanding. "With everything that's happened at the University of Melbourne Cassandra only got out because Jacobs taking the blame. Fine. Make sure he takes all of it."

Cassandra got bailed out because someone higher up took the fall. He'd approved the experiment, so Cassandra could lead her classmates on the project. Shed barely avoided disaster. There's no way she'd dare try something like that again.

George nodded, already understanding. "They nearly hurt Mrs. Oliver it's time they paid for that and feared she's under your protection. Anyone who wants to

mess with her has to go through you first!" sŵnovels

Oliver shot George a sharp look from under his lashes.

George instantly looked down, mentally reviewing what he'd just said, wondering if he'd messed up.

But then Oliver spoke, and his words made George so happy he wanted to jump for

joy.
