Back at the scene, John felt a sudden pain in his chest as he watched Olivia walk away.It hurt more than the bleeding wound on his body.However, he did not have any resentment toward her. He felt that he deserved it.“J-Johnny...”John raised his head suddenly upon hearing that. His eyes were scarlet, like a demon returning from hell, which made Hera tremble in fear.“Who gave you permission to call me by my nickname?”John raised his hand to grab her neck. His voice was cold and harsh as he said, “I’ve given you so many chances. Why don’t you cherish them?”Then, he gripped tighter and choked Hera so hard that she could not breathe.Just when Hera was about to pass out, Wes came up from behind them and tried to pull John away.“Sir, stop!”John was blinded with rage, and he wished he could kill Hera right then and there, so he refused to let go of her neck.“Sir, if she dies, we can’t catch the mastermind behind her.”Upon hearing this, he suddenly regained his composure
‘Kate remembers?’Olivia was a little stunned. It was surprising that Kate remembered everything given that she had only been out here for a few hours.When the two rushed to the ward, the doctor had just finished all the examinations.“The recovery is going well. You don’t have to worry about her memory. She will gradually remember if she’s not put under any stress.”Ken was puzzled. “Didn’t you say that her memory had been restored?”“Part of it, but not all of it yet.”Olivia’s heart ached. She had no idea what Kate remembered.Hence, she stepped forward and asked carefully, “Kate, what do you remember?”Kate looked at her, and panic flashed across her eyes. Then, she lowered her head. “All I remember are the bad memories.”‘Bad memories…’Ken was still there, so Olivia did not dare to ask.However, she still felt a little uneasy.Olivia had no idea if Kate remembered anything related to Oliver.“Do you remember how you got into the car accident?”Kate was taken aback,
Olivia did not think much before she shook her head. “It’s okay.”“Actually, I don’t remember many things. I know that something very important happened on the day of the accident, but I can’t remember despite how much I try.”Immediately, Kate looked up at her. “Pheebs, do you know what it is?”She was probably asking about her confession to Ken.However, this did not seem like a good time to mention it.Olivia pursed her lips and said with a smile, “I don’t remember either. Anyway, there is still time. Think about it carefully. It’s not too late to talk about it when you finally remember.”Kate seemed to have no doubts so she nodded. “Yeah, I guess.”After a while, she licked her dry lips. “Pheebs, you don’t need to stay here with me. You should take Lyla back first.”“I just promised your brother that I would stay here with you.”“He’s just saying that. You don’t have to take it seriously. Also… did something happen to Lyla in kindergarten?”Olivia pinched the bridge of he
Perhaps she had a secret hidden in her heart, so Olivia started distancing herself from Kate. In the end, the two had nothing more to talk about.Eventually, Kate yawned. “Ah, I’m a little sleepy. Pheebs, I'm going to sleep.”Olivia regained her composure. “Okay, go ahead. I’ll wait for you to fall asleep.”When she heard this, Kate smiled a little embarrassedly. “Pheebs, you don’t have to do that. You should take Lyla back to rest too. I-I can’t sleep with you staring at me like this.”“Sorry. I might have been a little too anxious.”“I know you’re worried, but my brother has arranged bodyguards for me. Furthermore, there are night shift nurses in the hospital, so you really don’t have to fret.”After Kate said that, Olivia realized that if she stayed here, it would seem a bit too suspicious.“Okay. I understand.”Olivia stepped forward and tucked Kate in. Then, she went to the door and turned off the light. “I’m leaving now. Goodnight.”“Okay, goodnight.”She helped Kate ge
Olivia naturally understood what he meant, but she ignored it.“John, I’m not joking around with you. My patience with Hera has reached its limit. If Lyla wasn’t around this afternoon, I wouldn’t have let her go just like that.“She is pregnant with your child now, so you have the responsibility of looking after her. Otherwise, you will lose your child again. Don’t say that I didn’t remind you.”When he heard this, John frowned. The sharp pain in his chest made it hard for him to breathe.Sure enough, she still hated him.At one point, he thought they could really start over.Back then, she told him to persevere, but now…He rested his head on the sofa and let out a long sigh.He wanted to explain again that he really had nothing to do with that woman named Hera and that all of this was just a game set up by Milo.“Liv.”He called out her name softly, his voice gentle and somewhat desperate. “Can you trust me one last time?”Olivia’s heart ached and tightened. She felt suffo
“Who do you think I am? Killing you?”Fred snorted coldly. “I wouldn’t do anything to disappoint Liv, so I won’t kill you. You can rest assured.”“Tch, I thought you were going to do the thing they do in dramas.”Kate did not take him seriously at all. She smirked and said, “Since you don’t dare to kill me, what are you going to do? Threaten me? I’m not afraid of your threats. What’s more, you’re the one who has a shady secret right now, not me.”Fred looked at her speechlessly. “Kate, are you trying to blackmail me?”“Well, if that’s what you want to think.”Fred was a little annoyed. “What on earth are you trying to do? That won’t do you any good if word gets out.”“I don’t know if any good would come out of it, but I think that some people would want to know.”“You…”Fred pulled her into his arms. Then, he stretched out his hand to grab her jaw. “Kate, I’m warning you. If you dare to tell the others, I will definitely not spare you!”“You can’t kill me, you...”“I can loc
Kate forced a smile. “I wanted to see if you would betray Pheebs.”“Betray Phoebe?”Fred looked at her in disbelief. “I would never betray her! Phoebe is my savior. How could I betray her?”“Because of the man who appeared that day.”Kate’s mood had eased greatly. She then stood up and put on the jacket that was beside her. “That man is so vicious, and you seem to have some kind of cooperative arrangement, so of course I am worried.”Upon hearing this, Fred let out a deep exhale. “That man is my birth father.”As he said that, his eyes sank. Then, he clenched his fists and hit the sofa hard. “So, I have to handle this myself. I can’t implicate Phoebe.”Immediately, he got up and walked out. “Don’t forget what you promised me, and don’t tell Phoebe.”Kate looked at his back and did not speak. However, she made her decision in her heart.Originally, she did not want to say anything, but now it seemed that she had to say it.She retrieved her phone to check the time. She had no
“Watch out!”As soon as Olivia entered, she saw Oliver strangling Fred. Before she could stop them, Oliver retrieved a fruit knife and stabbed Fred.She did not even have time to think before rushing forward and pushing Oliver away forcefully. Then, she stood in front of Fred.Although Oliver had missed his intended target, the fruit knife still pierced Olivia’s abdomen. Blood immediately stained her light blue T-shirt.Fred was stunned, and he held her body as it slowly slid to the ground. “Phoebe? Phoebe, why are you so stupid? Why did you take that knife for me?”Olivia frowned and forced a smile as she clutched her bleeding abdomen. “I-I’m fine.”Fred looked down at the blood in his hands, and his heart ached. He suddenly looked up at Oliver and roared through gritted teeth, “Oliver! I’m going to kill you!”When Oliver noticed that things were going south, he did not intend to stay any longer. He turned around and ran out.Fred placed Olivia on the ground and ran after him.
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
