I Dare You

Chapter 21

Oliver's plan was to try find the guy name Ronald in the building. He told me to stay with his in his car who apparently can hack their CCTV system to help find Ronald.

He needed me at first but then had to change some plans because the situation in the company.

I was busy spending time with Oliver to get to know about Ronald to fight for my relationship Cole but I guess.. he took it the wrong way.

I was talking to Oliver in a cafe once and Cole came. He didn't confront me but it was enough to that he doesn't like me hanging out with Oliver.

Not to mention that after revealing to the whole America that I'm Billy Edwards daughter, a lot of changed. They have their eyes on me most of the time and Oliver thought it's a good idea cause distraction since our parents wanted us together so badly.

"Tell me your plan." I jumped when I found Cole standing in front of the toilet. I thought he left.

"What plan?"

"About the Ronald guy, I have some information." I raised my eyebrows looking at him.

"Why do you want to help all of the sudden? It's been a week since that event."

"I need time to find those information, I can't find it instantly."

"I'll text you.. a place. Go there in an hour. Unblock me first.." I reminded him and walked away.

"Cole got some information about Ronald, let's go talk to him." I told Oliver as I sat down across .

"You trust him?"

"Yeah, he wants to help."

"Great." We decided to go to another place where it's more private so we can more about it. I Cole the address and it's Oliver's friend's office so we're good here.

"What is your relationship status now?" Oliver asked.

"We broke up."

"You're done with each other?" He asked.

"We're not done until I say so.." We both turned to Cole who just bursted into the room. I him to sit down and he gave is a black USB.

"Some informatiom about Ronald, can you at least explain why you're looking for this man? His seemed fine to me.." Cole said as he sat down. Oliver explained it to him about Ronald how that he might be the one who ruined the relationship between the two families.

We talked more about it, mostly me and Oliver because I want to end whatever it is. It's tiring.

When Oliver went out to take a call, Cole was looking at me with an unreadable expression.

"What?"

"I don't like it."

"Like what?"

"That you're too close to him."

"We're friends."

"Why are you doing this?" He asked and I leaned my body back to my chair.

"I'm pretty sure there's a reason since you're so.. into this.."

"When will you come back to school?" I asked avoiding his question.

"Don't even try.. answer me."

"Answer mine first and I'll consider answering yours." I said looking at him dead in the eye.

"I'm not in the mood to go to school, I'm giving you space so.. not going back anytime soon." He and I nodded.

"Answer the question.." He added.

"I'm trying to fix us. The only way to do that is to find the core of the problem. I think you're right,

I should have listened to you.." I said and then looked away.

"What if I don't want to get back with you?" He said and I raised my eyebrows without looking at .

"I guess I'll just date Oliver then.. our families trying to arrange us together." I said confidently then turned to him. He was not happy, he has his fist up on the table and looked at me dead .

"Try me.."

"See.. you'll take me back, just like I will take you back." I said and he let out a sigh.

"You didn't trust me and you blamed me for something that I didn't do. You should have listened me and let me prove it to you.. Gosh Cassie, we weren't supposed to break up!" He hissed.

"Everything happens for a reason, we didn't break up. I might not be able to know about this."

"Okay." He said.

"Okay."

"Everytime you meet up with Oliver, I want to come."

"For what? Keeping your eye on him?" I asked and he nodded.

"I won't hesitate to punch him if he tries to flirt with you." He said and I chuckled.

"You're annoying.."

"Heck I am." Oliver came back and he got a new information.

We puzzled everything together and it turns out that. Back in the days when our dads young, wanted to make business together. It went smoothly for the past 10 years until a man Tony McCally came into the picture. Our dads trusted each other so much but Tony manipulated my dad into believe that Collin Harrison did him dirty by selling some the shares to other billionaire. My dad lost his trust and decided to just split the company into and Tony got into trouble with the police because he has been making transaction in the web related to CP.

Then.. Ronald came into the picture. Ronald or should we call him Tanner McCally is Tony's . He's working with until Collin's wings for quite some time now. He got close to my dad told him that he will be his spy when all Tanner wants was money from both sides.

Tanner wanted the both of them to fall apart by gaining both of their trust and crush them in the . Apparently Oliver just found out that Tony got caught by the police because Collin told the about him so Tanner has been using my dad to get Collin.

It was pure a misunderstanding between the both of them. Not only that, Tanner manipulated

Sawyer into buying some stocks from the Harrison but it turned out to be a scam. Sawyer lost 10 million dollars and not to mention that Tanner stole a Lance's land in Ohio.

Oliver told us that we have to dig into him even more so we can throw him to jail once and for .

"I'll find out about him more.."

"We can hack into his computer and laptop but I need you to help me get access to it." Oliver and Cole nodded.

"Tell me how.. I'll do my best." Cole said.
