“John, you already made so many people die last year because of Dorothy, so why are you still so cruel after four years? Why are you still so… cold?”Olivia’s eyes were red-rimmed, and a strong, tugging pain was in her heart. It caused her to have difficulties breathing.Looking at how she was panting, John was a little worried. “Liv, you’re not well yet. Go back for now, so you can get better. Stop getting angry. All these things…”Before he could finish speaking, Olivia pushed him away with all her might and was thrown against the opposite wall from the momentum of her doing so. Coincidentally, she slammed into her wound and was in so much pain that she was sweating buckets.John wanted to reach out to help her up, but she hid away as she glared at him with disgust. “Don’t touch me! Stop putting on a show!”“Liv…”John’s hands paused mid-air. “Why do you have so many doubts and assumptions regarding me?”“Because I don’t believe in coincidence!”How could there be so many coi
“Ahhh!”Olivia’s wound was tugged on painfully as she bumped into someone, causing her forehead to be completely drenched with sweat.Olivia was about to yell at the troublemaker, but she froze the moment she saw their face.This person…Before she could react, the person had already fallen unconscious into her arms.Olivia pushed against the person in her arms. “Hey! Wake up!”She did not even get the chance to yell at them yet, so why did they already look so poorly? Looking at her oddly familiar face, Olivia could not help but push the woman’s hair aside and use her sleeves to wipe the dust from the ground off her face.It was too similar. She really looked too much like her…However, it had been too long, so her memory was a little fuzzy. Olivia could not be sure.“Ms. James?”A voice pulled back to reality. “What’s going on? Why did you suddenly come down here? This person…”The nurse bent down to check, and suddenly, she yelped, “Oh heavens! This person’s injuries ar
After hearing that, the man threw the cigarette onto the ground and stomped on it a few times with his shiny boots.“This little bargaining chip of yours isn’t enough for me to kill anyone over.”The man threw the envelope onto the table nearby. “And you’re asking for Olivia Larson.”Oliver was no fool either. “Even though I don’t know why you’re doing this, I’m guessing that your target is…”Before he could finish speaking, there was an odd noise from outside the house.Oliver walked to the window warily and shrieked, “Who is it? Who’s there?”Just as he finished speaking, a shadow darted into the woods behind the abandoned hut.Oliver frowned and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. “Someone’s listening in. Are they one of yours?”“Would one of mine need to be secretly listening on the outside?”Oliver scoffed coldly. He did not bother arguing with that man and ran out to run after the person. “We can’t let them get away.”If that person was to go back and rat them out, ev
In the hospital.“Liv, what’s wrong?”Olivia was staring blankly at the emergency room door. She suddenly turned around when she heard someone calling her name.“Ken? What are you doing here?”Ken frowned. “Excuse me? You’re injured, yet you refuse to take good care of yourself and ran around amok. Now, this has happened. If the nurse didn’t inform me, were you planning to just hide everything from us?”“Huh…”Knowing that she wanted to sneak out and meet Oliver, she did not dare to talk back. “I didn’t run around amok. I just wanted to come downstairs to take a walk, and I ran into her at the lift.”“That’s it? Then why did you change your clothes if you just wanted to go for a walk? Why didn’t you tell Fred or Kate?”Ken exposed her lies and sighed. “You’re really stubborn.”“Ken, let’s not talk about this.”Olivia pointed at the emergency room’s door. “Do you know who’s in the emergency room now?”“Who?”“Rainie Jameson.”Ken was stunned. “Rainie Jameson?”‘The woman t
Fred could not help but roll his eyes. “It’s Rainie Jameson. Rainie, not Raining!”Kate pouted her lips. “How am I supposed to know if you don’t say her name clearly? I don’t recognize her.”“Bring Liv back to rest.”“Okay.”She supported Olivia’s shoulder and pulled on her gently. “Pheebs, let’s go back to the room. Your injuries…”Before she finished her words, she noticed the bloodstains on Olivia’s clothes. “Wait, your wound is bleeding again? Pheebs, what happened? Come back to your room. I need to call…”“Don’t worry. Rainie bumped into me when I got out of the elevator. The nurse has already wrapped my wound again.”She was unwilling to leave. “I want to wait for her to wake up.”‘I must clarify what happened in the past four years and what happened back then if she is the real Rainie Jameson…’“Liv, go back and rest. I’ll connect the security footage to your room’s TV. You can come over when she’s awake.”Ken frowned. “You know how your health is. If it gets worse, wh
“Fred, I won’t expose myself, but you need to promise me that you won’t contact Oliver behind my back. We will think of other ways, okay?”Fred was dumbfounded, but he nodded. “You have my word, and I have yours. Don’t lie to me.”Olivia chuckled as she pulled his arm. “Fred, trust me at least once, alright?”Her change of attitude was too quick. He still did not believe her completely.However, after seeing her reaction, he did not say anything and only nodded in agreement.The three ate together after Kate came back and continued staring at the surveillance footage in the room.It seemed that as long as Rainie did not wake up yet, the three of them would not sleep.“Pheebs, who is this Raining… Rainie… Jameson? Why are you and my brother both so nervous when she appears?”Kate hesitated for a very long time and finally asked the question.“Do you still remember Zy? Zyla Jones.”Kate’s facial expression changed, and she bit her lips. “Yeah, of course I remember. She’s the wo
Olivia barely slept the entire night. She woke up because of her dreams a few times. She looked at the surveillance footage anxiously a few times and no longer felt sleepy, so she was awake until dusk.When it was daytime, she could barely lift her spirits up. She leaned haggardly against the head of the bed, her eyes still staring at the surveillance footage.“Pheebs, it’s moving!”Olivia was still in a daze, her eyelids heavy. “What’s moving?”“That human!”Kate stood up and pointed at the screen. “She’s awake! I’ll call the doctor.”She ran out.When Olivia came back to her senses, Kate had already disappeared.‘Rainie is awake!’She did not even bother putting on shoes as she ran over to Rainie’s room, covering her abdomen.“Doctor, how is she?”The doctor probed with a stethoscope and said, "Her body is okay for now, but the patient just woke up and still needs to rest."“Alright. Understood.”The doctor noticed Olivia’s pale face and dark circles, and he wanted to ad
Olivia was stunned, and she fell into silence while staring at Rainie, who was curled up under the bed.“Liv, she has gone crazy. It’s useless for you to continue asking. We…”“No!”Before Fred finished his words, Olivia suddenly refuted, “No, she can’t be crazy! She’s just acting! She definitely is!”“Liv…”“Let me go!”Olivia bit his arm, forcing Fred to let go, then rushed up and picked Rainie up from the ground. She stared at her with scorching eyes and said with a hoarse and sharp voice, "Rainie Jameson, let me tell you this: don't think that you can run away from this by pretending to be crazy! Since you’re here, I will definitely pry your mouth open! If you don't tell me the truth, I promise to make your life worse than death!"“Liv…”Fred and Kate went up to pull her back, but Olivia would not let go of her and grabbed onto Rainie’s collar tightly. “Rainie Jameson, I am watching you. Don’t try to deceive me!”“Enough!”Ken walked in, pulled Olivia’s hand away, and ges
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
