Kate’s ears were still a little red as she spoke angrily, “I didn’t say that I wasn’t mad.”“Then why are you here giving Zy flowers?”Kate looked down at the flowers and waved her hands indignantly. “Hah, I’m so rich! So what if I bought a bouquet of flowers?”It was very clear that Kate was just too proud.She knew that deep in her heart, Kate understood the situation. It was just that she did not want to admit it.Olivia did not want to expose Kate either, so she smiled. “As long as you’re not here to yell at Zy, I’m fine with it.”“I’m here precisely to yell at her!”Kate bit her lips. “She’s like a vixen that has attracted all of your souls with her. How dare you compare me to her, saying that I’m nothing like her and that I could never replace her? She’s dead, so why do the living still have to endure the torment of the dead?”“If she was still alive, would you love her so much? I don’t believe it! I refuse to believe that she’s that charming!”Looking at how Kate was st
Olivia was stunned and did not react at first.Kate’s hands were grasped together as she bit her lower lip and repeated. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have questioned her importance. All those things that you’ve said… I didn’t know…”“I…”Before Olivia could say anything, Kate turned around and hid inside a bush.Immediately, Ken walked up the stairs with a bouquet of flowers in hand and looked at Olivia, surprised. “Liv? Why are you here?”“Huh?”Olivia briefly looked at the bush, wiped her tears away, and responded. “You came here too, huh?”Ken pursed his lips and smiled. “Yeah. After finding out the truth, I figured I should come visit her.”Then, he noticed the flowers on the ground. “Why did you bring so many flowers?”“Kate was here.”“Kate?” Ken’s face changed. “Where is she? Is she here to yell at Zy again? I thought that after going through so much, she would have matured a little. I never would have thought that she would still be so naive, really…”Then, he was about t
However, when Olivia ran up, she did not see anyone, nor did she see any cars.Could she be mistaken?No, that was impossible… That woman looked exactly like Zy. How could she be mistaken?Suddenly, a car came towards her so quickly that she did not even have time to respond.The good thing was, Ken ran after Olivia and quickly yanked her to the side of the road.“What the hell? It’s really dangerous to suddenly run out onto the road, you know that?”Olivia was stunned as she looked at Ken in confusion. Her lips trembled as she said, “Ken, I think… I just saw Zy…”Ken’s heart dropped as he looked around him. “No one is here. Where did you see her?”“Just now, I did! I really did… Ken, I really did see her!”Olivia grabbed Ken’s arm and shook it with all her might. “Ken, it’s impossible that I was mistaken. She really did appear…”Ken looked at his surroundings again and, after making sure that there was no one around, frowned and asked, “How bad has your quality of sleep been
The moment Olivia and Ken returned to the hospital, Ken brought Olvia to his office and retrieved a bottle. He poured out a tablet and passed it to her.“Eat this medicine.”Olivia took the pill, held it in her hand, and observed it for a while. She did not eat it immediately.Ken noticed it and poured her a glass of water. He urged her and asked, “What is it? Are you worried that I’ll harm you?”Olivia shook her head. “No, that’s not it.”“Then what is it?”“I was just thinking that if seeing Zy was really a hallucination…”Then, Olivia looked up sadly at Ken. “Does that mean that after I eat this pill, I won’t be able to see Zy anymore?”That made Ken speechless.He still remembered that when they first met each other again, he asked Olivia why Zy did not appear in his dreams and if she was still angry at him.All of that made him doubt.If it was him, he would not want to eat this pill either.If he could see someone that he could no longer truly meet, even though he mig
Olivia slept a whole twelve hours because of the sleeping pill, and by the time she woke up, it was already the morning of the next day.She was a little dazed from the deep sleep, but as she turned and wanted to return to sleep, she suddenly realized that there was someone sitting by her bed.Immediately, she was scared awake and widened her eyes to look at the other person staring straight at her. Olivia was so shocked that she jumped up from the bed.After realizing who it was, Olivia snapped back to her senses and scolded exasperatedly. “John, what the heck is wrong with you? Why are you just sitting by my bedside like this?”John saw how angry and afraid Olivia was and smiled. “You look so cute when you sleep, so I just had to stare a little longer.”“You psycho! You just got released from the ICU. Are you trying to get yourself put back in there?”“Liv.”John did not continue arguing with her, but suddenly turned solemn. “I’m here because I have something to tell you.”Ol
Olivia held a moan back in her throat as she felt her earlobe go numb and tingly. She could not help but roll her eyes at John.“You’re thinking too much.”John smiled and caressed her head as he coaxed gently. “Be good. Go put on some shoes, and don’t run barefoot anymore.”Then, he walked around Olivia and headed towards the elevator.Seeing that, the policemen followed behind him, leaving Olivia to stand where she was, alone.She knew that she should draw up some clear boundaries with John, but to see him being taken away like this made her heart ache oddly. He was injured and had just got out of a critical period, so how could he bear with the interrogation of the police or a musty, humid jail cell?Suddenly, she felt like someone tugged at her, and she fell heavily onto her backside.“Ahhh!”She screamed. When she turned, she realized that she was sitting on someone’s lap, and that the person who had tugged her was Zac.She was struggling to decide if she should get off
That video included the moment Fred and Olivia arrived at the hotel, and it included her bringing Fred away. It was a completely uncut clip which also included footage of her stopping to wipe the door handle…If the policemen were to get their hands on this video, not only would Fred be unable to explain what went down, but she would also become an accomplice.“Liv, there’s nothing we can do now. I offered to pay them, but they were unwilling to accept.”“No!”Olivia was trembling as she grasped Zac’s hand tightly and pleaded, “Zac, please think of something else. Fred didn’t kill him, so he can’t say that he did!”If Fred were to admit to it, not only would he be subjected to a jail sentence, but he would also have to carry the label of someone who committed patricide.He was only twenty-something years old. If this were to happen, his whole life would be over…Fred had helped her so much, so she really did not want to see Fred end up that way.She made up her mind and spit th
Seeing how Zac was stuttering, Olivia was extremely anxious, and she rushed towards him with a frown. “Talk to me. What is it?”“Liv, this method…”Olivia interrupted irritatingl “Just say it. Regardless of anything, we will still have to discuss it before making the decision.”Zac glanced at her, took a deep breath and said, “The other party needs a culprit. If you want Fred to be safe, you will need a scapegoat. In other words, we need another suspect.”Hearing these words, Olivia was stunned and she looked at him in disbelief. “Are you saying that we can frame someone else?”“Liv, this is the only way to help Fred remain free. If you’re unwilling to do so, then he can only plead guilty and shape it into him sounding overly-defensive.” “But…”Olivia stared at him blankly and could not bring herself to say a word.‘How am I supposed to decide on this?‘I can’t endure Fred being framed, but that doesn’t mean that I can frame someone else, right?‘How can I rest assured with
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
