Chapter 484 The Secret of the Brothers
I politely nodded to the people who came in, and they quickly put handcuffs on Maria's wrists and arrested her on suspicion of murder
Joe remained silent throughout until Maria was angrily escorted out of the villa
I finally let go of Olive's hand and walked up to him, saying, "Joe, I'm sorry, but I realized at that moment that your mother had tampered with the plane long ago, and I didn't tell you in time."
To be honest, I never thought I would hastily reveal this truth in such a situation
If Joe hadn't messaged earlier saying that his mother wanted him to come home and have dinner with Olive tonight, I wouldn't have
hurriedly rushed back overnight
Because I had an unspoken intuition deep inside me, I decided to stay in California and hide it from Olive. When Joe saw her despair, he called me and his tone was unable to hide the pain no matter whatThis content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
I was very familiar with that feeling, and I also mourned for my Olive in the same way
I suddenly realized a crisis of competition between brothers, and it was absolutely terrible
And at this moment, when I apologized to Joe, it was evident that his mind was not on the absurd argument we had just had
After a long silence, he shook his head and said, "You don't need to apologize for this, Aaron. It's me who should apologize to you. If I had known
that my mother would resort to such tactics, I would have definitely arranged for Olive to come back with me today."
His gaze fell on Olive and lingered for several seconds, so long that I could hardly resist the urge to block his line of sight
Olive's POV:
From the moment Aaron came back, my heart finally stopped feeling restless
Just like a person who has been floating in the water for a long time finally grabs a piece of driftwood, I finally found that chest I could rely on
His return meant that the deadlock tonight could be resolved, and indeed it was, until Maria was taken away by the police, everything went very
smoothly
But everything was not pleasant
I suddenly snapped out of it when I noticed that Aaron and Joe, the two brothers, were silent and hadn't said a word to each other at that moment
Maria was Joe's mother. Aaron called the police and took her away
Regardless of who was right or wrong, in any case, this matter was enough to make Joe feel uncomfortable
To be honest, what I least wanted to see in this situation was the estrangement between the two brothers. However, the most likely thing to happen in such a situation was precisely the brothers becoming resentful of each other
I was contemplating speaking up to ease the
atmosphere between the two of them, but in the next second, just as I was about to say comforting words while looking at Joe's face, Aaron suddenly grabbed my sleeve and then reached out to pat Joe's shoulder
"T will take Olive back first, you rest well tonight. As for the matters at the company, we can discuss them tomorrow."
Fortunately, Joe, sitting on the sofa, did not object to his opinion. When he spoke up, his tone was still friendly, just like every time before, facing Aaron with the attitude of an older brother
Just today, after the two of them finished talking, it was Joe who first awkwardly avoided eye contact, along with my consolation, keeping it out of sight
I walked out of Morris' house gate with Aaron, but the more I thought about it, the more something felt off

Until the two of us got in the car and I lowered my head to fasten the seatbelt, I couldn't help but mutter a few words
"Aaron, don't you think Joe was acting unusually today?"
Aaron heard it, but he didn't answer. He just turned his face to look at me, and then silently
leaned over to help me fasten the seatbelt buckle
I couldn't guess his thoughts, but I had to voice the question that had been pondering in my mind for a while
"You see, it was you who called the police and
took Joe's mother away just now, but his final behavior seemed as if he had done something wrong to you, even avoiding me when I tried to talk to him. Trust me, it's definitely not resentment, but guilt. Is there something else between you two that you're hiding from me?"
Aaron's upper body, which was about to leave, suddenly froze because of my words. He stared at my lips for a long time, and finally, a hint of a smile appeared on his face, but he still didn't give a direct answer to my question
However, I had already lost interest in guessing the answer to that question because Aaron had approached me and forcefully kissed my lips
"Olive, you don't need to speculate about any secrets between Joe and me, all you need to do now is to feel how much I missed you during the time I didn't see you..."
