Freeman Group.Olivia took the elevator to the top floor in a fit of rage and pushed the door of John Freeman’s office open despite the secretary’s resistance.John was signing a document with his head down when he heard a sudden ’bang’. He frowned and barked, “Who is that pushing the door so loudly?”When he looked up, he saw Olivia marching angrily toward him.“Liv?”“John Freeman, explain yourself!”“What?”John was puzzled and looked at her with a bewildered expression. “What explaining do I have to do?”Olivia slammed the listening device heavily on the table, “Are you really not the one that installed the listening devices in Elegance Gardens?”“No, I’m not.”“No? You did install surveillance cameras at Elegance Gardens to spy on me, didn’t you?“It’s just that Mr. M’s appearance had disrupted your plans, so you took all the devices down and told me you found them in the room, implying that they might have been installed by Mr. M, didn’t you?”John stood up and frow
The woman’s voice was tinged with a hint of coyness. She was only wearing a man’s shirt, and her shoulders were halfbared with her hair draping loosely over her body and a hint of exhaustion on her face.Suddenly, when the woman saw Olivia, she shrieked, “Ahhh! Who are you? Why are you here?”Then, she rushed over to John and threw her arms around him. “Johnny, who is she? When we were in bed last night, you clearly said you only loved me...”Olivia’s breath hitched, and she looked at John incredulously.This man who just said he only loved her and had kissed her forcibly actually had a woman hidden in his room!“Liv, let me explain...”Olivia flung away his hand fiercely and gave him a disgusted look. “John Freeman, I won’t ever believe a word you say anymore!”With that, she walked out without looking back.John shook off the woman angrily and chased after Olivia. “I really don’t know who she is. I didn’t do it...”Before John could finish explaining, Olivia gave him a backh
The woman suddenly sat down on the sofa, hugged John’s arm, and pouted. “Johnny, how could you forget so quickly? I’m Hera, Hera Lancaster, remember?”John had already reached the limit of his patience. He grabbed her neck and said coldly, “I’m warning you, stop playing tricks, or I can’t guarantee what I will do!”Hera’s cheeks were red, and she could hardly breathe. She slapped John’s arm with her hand in pain. “Mr… Mr. Freeman… I… I can’t breathe...”Just as Hera was about to pass out, John released his hand and pushed her hard to the ground, stomping on her hand with his foot.“I’ll give you one more chance to talk!”Hera coughed violently a few times as she cried and begged, “Mr. Freeman, I wasn’t acting on anyone’s orders. It was all me… It was me… I like you. That’s why I dared to climb into your bed wearing your clothes in an attempt to make you accept me...”“Lies!”“It’s true… I sneaked in while your secretary was out for lunch, and at that time, your inner door happen
“Ms. James, no need to be so hostile towards me. I’m not here to cause trouble today.”At that, Olivia sneered. “So it seems that you know you had come to cause trouble the last time.”It was no other than the reporter who stopped her at the door the last time and spewed a mouth full of nonsense at her.Olivia did not like him very much and did not want to bother with him at all, so she planned to walk past him.However, he came after her and handed her his card. “My name is Paul. Here is my card. Please take it.”Olivia did not take the card. She looked at him warily and asked, “What the hell do you want? Don’t you dare harass my brother!”Paul smiled. “Don’t worry. I do not intend to go to your brother. Someone gave me money to do what I did the last time, and that was why I did it. I have no personal agenda against you.“Even if I were to receive a slap from you, I would retaliate against you for it. You can rest assured.”“So were you the one who wrote all that nonsense bef
“Ms. James, I don’t know what you mean by that, but I can assure you that the information I have in this file packet is worth every penny and is something you will want to know.”Olivia was not phased at all. She stood up and looked at Paul condescendingly. “Tell John Freeman to not play these little tricks. It’s such a nuisance!”After saying that, she carried her lunch box and walked straight out of the cafe.She really did not think that John could be so shameless.He said that he cared about his daughter, but he ended up working with this reporter who wrote nonsense about his daughter’s life.Such a b*stard!But when she thought about the scene she saw in the office in the morning, she felt that there was nothing John Freeman couldn’t do.For him to actually bring a woman back to his office…When she thought of this, she could not help but clench her fists and grind her teeth hatefully.To think that she assumed he had changed and wanted to give him a chance to reconcile w
After the doctor left, Olivia told Fred to lie down on the bed, poured out the soup from the container for him to drink, and then turned around to clean up the glass shards on the floor.During the whole process, she did not ask him a single question. She was just sweeping the floor very calmly while urging him to be more careful so that no shards were left in other places, leading to a repetitive injury.Fred looked at her busy figure. His hand could not help but ball into a fist, and his heart was flooded with mixed feelings.After a long time, he finally could not hold it in anymore. “Liv, don’t you want to ask me what happened?”Olivia’s hand paused. She turned to look at him and smiled. “When you want to talk, you will naturally do so. Also, I think you have lost weight, so you need to eat more meat to replenish yourself with some good nutrition.”“Liv.”Fred’s heart trembled, and his eyes were slightly red. “Actually, I lied to you.”“Hmm?”Olivia emptied the last pieces
Olivia feigned anger. "Listen here: no more nonsense! If you don't want to see him again, give me his phone number, and I'll give this to him."As soon as Fred heard that Olivia wanted to meet with that man, he put the card away and said, "I can handle it myself.""Okay. If he comes after you again, call me, and if I can't make it in time, you call Ken, and definitely don't get hurt again because of him, okay? I'll be heartbroken if that happens."Fred's heart trembled. As he was holding Olivia’s hand tightly, his voice trembled. "Liv, it's good to have you around. I will protect you well.""If you really want things to be good for me, you should get well quickly and take good care of your body."Olivia squeezed Fred's arm and frowned. "You've lost weight. You've really lost a lot of weight! I'm going to talk to your doctor. I think it's better for me to take you home to rest. At least there'll be someone to take care of you, especially of your diet. Mrs. Wallace will definitely p
“Liv, I’m not sure about a lot of things, but I know one thing. If everyone suspects the same person, then there must be something wrong with him, otherwise, why would everyone have their suspicions toward him?”Olivia lowered her head. “But he came to me and apologized, saying he didn’t know and had explained everything to me. If it was really him, why would he explain himself?”“And what about you?” Fred threw the question back at her. “If you think he’s innocent, why the hesitation? Why would you ask me that question?”Olivia was caught off guard by his question and did not speak again after that.Fred sighed. “If you don’t think it’s him, then who do you think it could be?”There was a long silence before Olivia spoke. “John Freeman.”Hearing this name, Fred froze for a moment.“Are you and him getting back together?”Olivia hurriedly shook her head. “No. I don’t want to repeat the same mistake, so I...”“Liv, I don’t know what the truth is about this, but I want to remind
Elegance Gardens.As soon as Olivia entered the door, Ken appeared out of nowhere with Fred and Kate standing beside her. Then, the three of them looked at her with surprisingly serious eyes.Olivia was stunned for a moment. “What’s the matter? I just went out for a meal. Why are you so serious?”“Was Jennie the one who took you out?”It was Ken who spoke first.Olivia nodded. “Well, yes.”“Liv, are you crazy? You went out to eat with her?”Fred stepped forward, looked her up and down, and said with a frown, “Have you forgotten how she betrayed you? You should never tolerate someone who cheats even once. What if she had bad intentions of inviting you out?”“Pheebs, that woman is not as straightforward as you think.”Out of the three, Ken was the calmest. “Did she say what she was doing in Ocean City?”Olivia shook her head. “I asked, but she didn’t say anything. She only said that she wanted to stay in Ocean City and asked if I was still angry with her.”Hearing this, Fred r
Jennie brought Olivia to a popular fondue place. The melted cheese looked very appetizing, and it was the kind that Olivia liked in the past.However, she could not raise her spirits today, and after eating a few mouthfuls, she put down her fork and started to space out.Jennie gave her a piece of strawberry. “Pheebs, eat more. You are so skinny now. Why do you still eat so little?”“Maybe I don’t have a good appetite.”“Don’t you always have an appetite for cheese? Pheebs, how long have you been like this? Have you seen a doctor?”“I’m used to it. It’s fine.”Jennie suddenly grabbed Olivia’s hand and looked at her solemnly. “Pheebs, what’s wrong with you? You’ve really changed a lot, and I don’t even know you anymore. Even though I could tell you were sad before, you were still very positive, but now… I’m worried that you’re going to do something stupid.”Upon hearing this, Olivia was stunned for a moment. Then, she forced a smile. “No, I just haven’t slept well recently, so I’
The next day, Olivia woke up and planned to go to the mental hospital to find Dorothy without telling everyone, but she received an unexpected call.“Pheebs, it’s me. I’m in Ocean City. Do you want to meet?”Olivia was stunned for a few seconds before she realized who the other party was. Then, she could not stop herself from frowning.“Jennie Sutherland?”“Pheebs, are you still mad at me? Why are you calling my full name like that?”Olivia pursed her lips. She smiled dryly and did not explain.Perhaps it was because too many things had happened recently and they had affected her state of mind. Unbeknownst to her, she became less tolerant now.Whatever happened in the past had not blown away like dust, but remained in her heart and turned into a deep grudge.When she heard that Olivia was not speaking, Jennie smiled. “Are you free for a meal? Pheebs, do you not even want to eat with me now? I am genuinely…”“Next time.”She was still a murder suspect. Plus, she still had not
‘Zy...‘This woman looks like Zy…’Fiona Miller glanced at her, frowned slightly, and stepped forward to get in front of her.“You are so weak, but you still have time to worry about me? Stand behind me.”Olivia was taken aback. Not only did they look alike, but they even spoke similarly, especially so as she stood in front of Olivia. They were so similar…Before Olivia knew it, her eyes were red.‘Zy…’However, her Zy died in her arms. She watched Zy lose her breath with her own eyes, so how could she appear here?However, Olivia was really greedy for more time with Zy, so greedy that she did not want to be rational anymore.When she regained her composure, she saw Fiona and the fat woman engaging in a fight, so she hurried forward to help. Olivia pulled the fat woman’s hair back and then separated the two.The fat woman cursed a few times, but in the end, she was still a little scared, so she ran to the opposite side of the room and squatted down.Under the light, Fiona’s
“He really is innocent!”Olivia roared as she watched the officer walking away.However, the other party did not look back at her. It was as if no one cared about the truth at all.Just as she lost her footing and fell, someone pulled her hair forcefully.“Ah!”“Hello, b*tch! Someone wants us to take good care of you!”When Olivia heard that, an unusually tall and burly woman had already dragged her to the ground. The woman then sat on Olivia’s body and slapped her with all her might.Olivia had just had a fever and was still weak. Thus, when she was slapped hard all of a sudden, she felt her brain buzzing instantly.However, the other party did not seem like she was going to stop. After that, the woman raised her hand and slapped Olivia again.After two slaps, blood spilled from the corner of Olivia’s mouth, contrasting against her pale face even more eerily.Just as the fat woman was about to slap her for the third time, Olivia suddenly exerted all her strength to grab the
After a while, someone kicked open the door, and uniformed police officers walked in with an arrest warrant.“Miss Olivia Larson, we need you to come with us.”Olivia was taken aback, but Fred had already rushed forward before she could register what was going on.“There is no Olivia Larson here. You have found the wrong person. My sister still has a fever and needs to rest. Please get out immediately!”However, the leader of the group just glanced at him, ignored him, and then walked around him to the bed. After that, he looked down at Olivia, who was lying weakly on the bed.“Ms. Larson, you probably don’t want me to take coercive measures, do you?”Olivia did not know what was happening, but she knew very well that her identity had been revealed. She had nowhere to escape, so she had to face the music.Therefore, she lifted the blanket and stood up.“Okay, I’ll go with you. But please wait for a moment downstairs to let me change, okay?”The man glanced at her and nodded, “
Olivia fell ill. However, scared of being hounded by the paparazzi, Mrs. Simmons was too scared to send her to the hospital, so she could only call Ken over.The two were busy these days and did not have much contact with each other. Ken came in and froze when he saw Olivia lying in bed.'Why is her face so pale? Why is she so frail? She's so thin that she looks like a piece of paper from far away and has blended into the covers.' "Ken? You came?"Groggy, Olivia felt someone standing at the end of the bed watching her, so she tried hard to open her eyes to see. Seeing it was Ken, she squeezed out a smile."Jeez, Mrs. Simmons. I'm just a little tired. Did she have to bring you over?"Ken frowned, went up to test her forehead, and said, "You're an adult. Why did you get yourself into this with no one around to look after you? You're a mother. You don't even know you have a fever and still stay up all night."Olivia pressed her lips together and said nothing."Are you worried ab
Xavier bailed out Olivia that night."Pheebs, don't worry. Nothing's going to happen to you. Trust me."Xavier grabbed her hand and comforted her repeatedly, but Olivia did not respond. She was like a stunned puppet.She had temporarily left the place that scared her, but her heart was still unsettled.She thought everything was over when John died.However, it seemed John's death was the beginning of everything.Who was behind all this?She desperately wanted to know.She suddenly grabbed Xavier's arm and used an almost imploring tone, "Xavier, help me find out who did this, will you?"She knew she could only solve the problem from the root by finding the real culprit and source.Xavier frowned. "I will. Please give me a moment.""Thank you...""Don't thank me. You're making yourself a stranger."Xavier opened the car door for her as he spoke. "Get in the car. I'll take you home. Lyla and the rest are waiting for you at home."Olivia froze at the mention of Lyla. Then sh
After leaving Quinton Group, Olivia got another call from the school."Mrs. Quinton, you can be at ease now that we've investigated this and all those involved have been handed over to the police."The person on the other end of the line paused. "Besides, we've also solved the case of Sam smashing the car. All the teachers involved have been fired, and the students have been ordered to transfer to another school. You can let Sam and Miss come back to school without any worries, Madam."She frowned as she hung up.She was surprised by the way the school handled this.She did not believe the school handled it voluntarily. After all, the principal had arrogantly demanded an apology from her.Why fire everyone all of a sudden?The more Olivia thought about it, the more she realized that it must have something to do with the board of directors, but who was secretly helping her?'Is it Zac?'Is he atoning for it in such a way because he knows he did something wrong but is too scared
