Olivia's eyes snapped open at the sound, and she turned around blankly to look at the door.John stood with a black bag in his hand, gasping for breath as his eyes were dark and terrifying.Her heart even stopped momentarily as she froze in place and forgot to breathe.'He... came!'Olivia could not believe her eyes, but the sharp pain in her neck told her it was the truth.'John's here. He's not behind all this. He... came to rescue me...'The man in a suit sneered at the sight of John. He looked outside to make sure John was alone before saying with a sneer, "Mr. Freeman, I didn't think you were going to show up."John did not bother to talk to him. He threw the bag forward, clenched his fists, and looked at him coldly. "Let her go. Take the money and f*ck off!"The man in a suit nodded to the strong man, signaling to him to pick up the money. Then he cut the rope around Olivia, lifted her out of her chair by her hair, and held the dagger to her bleeding neck. "Mr. Freeman, d
The unfinished building.When the strong man realized he could not climb through the window, he decided to run out through the door.John went up and tackled him to the ground. He put his legs around his neck as he grabbed his right hand, trying to subdue him. However, the wound on his abdomen had not healed. After all the commotion, the wound had already opened up, and the tearing pain made him powerless.However, he ignored it to buy Olivia more time to escape.He could only hold the strong man tightly with all his strength. When he saw that he was about to break his arm, the man in a suit suddenly rose from the ground and stabbed him in the shoulder from behind.It hurt John, but he dared not let go of the grip on his feet and hands."Let him go!"The next second, he felt a gun pressing against his temple.John stiffened but did not let go of his hand. "I don't think your goal is to kill me."The man in a suit laughed out loud. "Yes, but it's a pity you found out too late.
"Johnny!"Baffled, Olivia hugged John's heavy body and cried his name. "John, don't sleep. I can't carry you by myself!"She really could not carry him...However, with the pale John covered in blood about to go into shock from blood loss, she seemed to have no choice.Therefore, she cried as she dragged him outside."John, I swear I'll hate you for the rest of my life if you don't wake up. Even if you die, I won't visit your grave!""Once you're cremated, I will scatter your ashes so you'll rot in h*ll!"Panting, Olivia dragged him forward as she cursed, "John, do you hear me? I'm telling you. Don't pretend to be dead. Don't think we're even because you saved me. I won't appreciate it if you're dead. You owe it to me!""And about that thing with Hera. I'm telling you. If she tries to mess with me again, I'm not gonna go easy on her. Don't expect...""Are you jealous? Hmm?""Jealous? Have you lost your mind? I won't..."Before she could finish speaking, Olivia froze and stop
Just as John fell forward, Olivia suddenly turned around and caught his arm.Her wound had already opened up, and she felt a tearing pain in her abdomen once she applied pressure.However, how could she say she was in pain when John tried to explain to her in a half-dead state?If two wounded people wanted to survive, one had to be strong enough to survive this.Looking at the man covered in blood before her, she took a deep breath, clenched her teeth, and pulled John off the ground. Then she put his arm over her shoulder."John, can you walk?"John replied in a daze before turning his head to look at her, who was blurry." You... believe me, right?"Olivia was speechless. He was still wondering whether she believed him at such a time...However, instead of roasting him, she nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm sure you didn't put Oliver up to it."With that said, she tugged at his arm with one hand and held his waist with the other. "Where did you park the car?""Outside.""Hang in t
Olivia did not know how she made it to the hospital, but she tossed John in the back seat and sped toward the hospital after they got into the car.John would talk to her at first, but he went silent afterward.She also lost a lot of blood and began to lose consciousness. She drove the latter half of the journey with her consciousness almost fading.Once she got to the hospital, she hurriedly got out of the car and called the doctor. She was instantly relieved when she saw the doctor and the nurse running up with the stretcher. Then she fainted and fell backward. "Miss? Ms. James?"She heard the nurse calling her and opened her mouth to answer, only to find she could not even hear herself.Then her voice went further away and became vaguer......When she woke up, John was still being resuscitated. She sat up and tried to get out of bed to check on him, but someone stopped her."Liv, what's going on? Did you send Harry over yesterday to create a disturbance so you could escap
"Fred, do you realize you're irritating?"Olivia waved his hand away and continued saying, "You always like to do everything yourself when you can't do anything. In the end, I always have to clean up your mess. Fred, I'm tired. Just give me a break and leave."You can't think I'll be nice to you unconditionally just because you took care of Lyla for a few days and cooked me a few meals!"Olivia clenched her fists, looked up at Fred, and said with a smile, "Remember, you're not my biological brother. I'm not obligated to ask you to leave just because you're going against Oliver. This is the last time I'll help you. From now on..."Before she could finish, Fred suddenly interrupted, "Is that what you truly think?"Olivia's heart shuddered when she saw the disappointed look in his eyes, but she had already said it and could only follow through.Therefore, she dug her nail into her flesh and said through the pain, "Of course, do I have to lie to you?"Fred turned pale, stared at her
Sensing something was wrong with her, Olivia asked with a frown, "Kate, where on earth did Fred go?"Kate gulped and bit her lip nervously. "He said he went to see Lyla. I think he'll be back soon.""You're lying."Kate's hand trembled as she said with a fake smile, "Pheebs, why would I lie to you? He'll be back in a moment. Ask him yourself.""Why won't you look at me if you're not lying?""I'm setting up the table. Besides, I usually..."Before she could finish, Olivia turned around and walked up to her. She grabbed her jaw gently and turned her head around. "Kate, you're putting him in danger by covering for him, you know that?""Pheebs, I..."Kate looked at her uneasily, frowning. For a moment, she could not speak.She was torn.She also knew it was the right thing to do by telling Pheebs, but she was worried that the two would argue again when Pheebs talked to Fred like that. Therefore, she thought it was better to avoid trouble whenever possible.Therefore, she asked a
'Memory loss...'Olivia had mixed feelings when she heard about the possibility of memory loss.If he had forgotten about her, they would stop being involved with each other.Come to think of it. It seemed like a good thing.He would not come to her again, begging her to forgive him and trust him, let alone bothering her from time to time. However...They had been involved with each other for nearly 20 years. If he had suddenly forgotten about her, would it not mean the last 20 years of her life were a waste?Olivia was silent for a while before saying with a sneer. "It's good if he has memory loss. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Everything is just a dream." "Liv?"Olivia glanced up at Ken. "Thank you. I'm counting on you for the next 24 hours."Ken frowned at her pale and bloodless lips. He held her arm. "Alright, you're also hurt. Don't think about anything. You should get better first."She lowered her head and touched the gauze on her cheek. "It's nothing. I still want to
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
