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
“Ken, what are you talking about?”Olivia was confused, and she pulled Ken. “How would Zac know? John just got brought away.”‘He just got brought away and the photos are already all over the internet.‘This is definitely a planned setup!‘Who’s the one that wants him dead?’Olivia felt like a mess, and she could not think of anyone suspicious.The most frustrating part was that John did not mention who he was suspecting before he left…Now it was more difficult for her to save him even if she wanted to.“Liv, don’t get deceived by this man!”Olivia regained his composure and looked toward Ken. “Ken, what’s wrong? Why are you saying bad things about Zac…”Ken snorted and asked, “Did he ask you to testify to someone else being the killer?”Hearing such, Olivia was taken aback before nodding blankly. “Yeah, but…”“He already knows that the police are suspecting John, so he deliberately pushed you into a desperate situation, forcing you to testify against others to save Fred.
This was initially unrelated to Zac. It was she who asked for his help, which was why he was dragged into this.‘But now Ken is calling him a traitor. This…’However, she also knew that Ken was worried about John’s safety and the motive of whoever was behind this conspiracy. That was why he got desperate.Although she hated John as well, she did not want him to get accused and framed in such a way.Even if there was an outcome through such a method of revenge, she would not be content with it. When the two fell into silence, Olivia finally spoke up, “Zac, do we not have any other ways? I can’t bring myself to testify against John, and I can’t tell Fred to do so as well, but asking me to force Fred to plead guilty…”Olivia bit her lip and said with extreme despair, “Zac, I can’t do it either. Fred didn’t kill anyone. He shouldn’t plead guilty for something that he didn’t do. If there’s really no other way, I’ll just turn myself in and let them take me as the culprit.”As she spo
Just as Olivia stepped out of the hospital, the cold wind blew past her body and she could not help but cover her jacket tighter. She frowned and let out a long sigh.Things got even more complicated the moment John became the second suspect. ‘This is so out of my range to resolve…’She was not concerned about John initially, but knowing that the other party spent so much effort just to drag him into the game, she was already expecting the worst.‘But what can I do?’Thinking of such, she was even more worried.“Be careful!”As soon as the voice sounded, a car sped past her.When the car passed by, the driver did not forget to step on the brake and curse at her, “Hey crazy lady, are you trying to die?!”Olivia finally realized what happened, and a cold sweat broke out over her entire body. She froze on the spot. “Pheebs, what are you doing?”Olivia regained her composure and turned around in fear. When she saw the familiar face, she let out a sigh of relief. “Kate, it’s
‘The first time could be an illusion, but what about the second time?’‘Am I really sick?’Olivia quickly patted the driver. “Sir, stop the car, hurry!”The driver did an emergency brake and she rushed out of the car trying to find Zyla’s figure in the middle of the road. Yet there was nothing else except for the cars speeding past her. Kate was terrified and quickly pulled her back. “Olivia Larson, are you trying to kill yourself?!”Olivia still wanted to search for Zyla, but Kate held her back tightly. “What’s wrong with you?”“I’m looking for Zy.”Hearing these words, Kate thought that Olivia was hallucinating. Her face turned pale while looking at her worriedly. “Wake up, Zyla is already dead!”Olivia refused to listen and pushed Kate away, wanting to search again on the opposite side of the road. Slap!In the next second, a heavy slap landed on Olivia’s face, which stunned her.“Are you awake now?”Olivia covered her burning cheek in a daze and looked at Kate b
She then changed her words. “I’m just afraid that you might die here. After all, I’m not done with my revenge on you yet.”John obviously knew that it was just an act, and his smile turned even more gentle.“A friend in need is a friend indeed. Only at this time can I see your concern. I guess this imprisonment was worth it.”Olivia’s ears reddened slightly. “What nonsense are you speaking? Who cares about you?”John reached out to hold her hands through the bars. “Alright, stop debating with me here. Hurry up and go home, okay?”Hearing these words, Olivia felt a thump in her chest as her eyes moistened. Seeing how she was about to cry, John started to panic. It was worse because he was behind the bars. “Why are you crying? Don’t cry. I can’t reach out to wipe your tears either.”He patted her hand with a smile. “Go home, okay? I’ll be fine.”Olivia did not know why she was crying, but she would obviously not admit that she was worried about him.“I’m just here to see if y
After a long standoff, John finally said, "Liv, I know you refuse to believe this, but...""John."Not wanting to hear his lies, Olivia cut him off. "I don't want to hear you repeat the same thing. I'm tired of it.""Liv..."John felt a pang in his heart. He could not help quivering as he looked at her a little feebly. He opened his mouth but could not say a word.He realized how desperate Olivia had been four years earlier at that moment.However, he was not worried about himself right now. He was worried about her and Fred.If she still believed Milo was a good man, Milo would take advantage of her.'When the time comes...'Olivia had no idea what he was thinking. She looked up at him in disappointment and bit her lip as she coldly squeezed out a few words. "John, you've let me down again! But I swear, this will be the last time!"With that said, she turned around and left the detention center without looking back.She thought he would tell her the truth and let her know h
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
