“Put her on the phone!”Zac hesitated for a moment before he stood up and walked out. “You don’t need to know about that.”“Mr. Quinton, is that Johnny?”Zac paused in his tracks and covered his phone. “No. It’s a work call.”Olivia pursed her lips and forced a smile. “Mr. Quinton, we can’t hide from trouble if it wants to find us. Give me the phone. Let me tell him.”The two of them had a silent battle for a while before Zac passed his phone to her.Olivia cleared her throat, lifted her head to make her tears flow back, and said, “John Freeman, I hate you! I don’t wanna see you!”Before today, if you were to ask her, she would be sure that she was still very in love with John.However, after being thrown into the little black hut, she was unsure of that.The young man who was once her bringer of light had thrown her into the darkness himself, snuffing out all light and hope.It seemed like she was… truly tired now.Her voice was calm and firm, but it was also cold. At the o
Yesterday night when John rushed back to the Cliffside Villa, the only thing he saw was Dorothy fainted in the living room with blood on her body. He could only send her to the hospital immediately. After her condition became stable, he drove to the little black hut at midnight.He wanted to save Olivia, but what would be the outcome of that?When he arrived, he immediately saw that the lock had been pried open and that there were two wheel marks on the ground. He did not see anything else. He had reached out to her, but all he received was an ‘I hate you’.John snorted and punched the glass with full force.The glass immediately shattered, and the fragments stained with his blood fell to the ground, making a crisp sound as they fell. Wes quickly ran inside and was shocked upon seeing John’s bleeding hand. He went to take the medical kit. “Sir, your hand is bleeding.”John did not car much about his wound. He turned to Wes and questioned him. “I loved her so much. Why did
John looked over the report unwillingly. He understood every word separately, but he was confused when he read them all together. He looked at Zac suspiciously. “What do you mean? Is this a falsified report?”“Mr. Freeman, you’re not just stupid now, but you can’t read as well?”Zac laughed coldly. “Dorothy said that Olivia caused her miscarriage, but look carefully. She was diagnosed infertile three years ago.”“Impossible! Dolly was…”“She told you that she was pregnant, right? She was just using it as bait to take over Liv’s status as your main woman, but unfortunately, she failed.”“Zac Quinton! How can you accuse Dolly of that? She saved me two years ago!”John was a grateful person, so he never forgot about Dorothy’s kidney. Which was why as long as he was alive, he would satisfy any requests from her. Even though he never loved her.Zac shook his head helplessly and with grief. “John, then what about Olivia? You refuse to believe me when I show you evidence agains
The Larson’s Residence.A few hours passed. No one came by, and Olivia felt like John probably did not care about looking for her. How would he have time for her with Dorothy still around? She did not even know if she wanted him to look for her or not.Just like that, she walked around the yard aimlessly, and many images flashed through her mind, both joyful and sorrowful ones. ‘It would be great if my father was still alive…’Suddenly, someone called her name.“Olivia Larson?”She looked over and was stunned for quite a while before she asked, “Aaron Summers?”“Liv, you still remember me? It’s been so many years since we last met. Are you still working in the design field?”Olivia was taken aback. If he did not remind her, she would have forgotten about the fact that she majored in design. She shook her head with a wry smile. “I haven’t touched design for quite some time.”Aaron let out a sigh of pity. “What a waste. You used to be the top in our major, Liv. I happen t
”Olivia Larson, will you die if you don’t have access to a man?“You already have one in the hospital, but you still want another one?”Olivia frowned, trying to break free from John. However, both her hands were being restrained by him, and she had no way to run. “John, what are you talking about? It was just a coincidence!”“Coincidence? Do you think I’ll buy that?”“Believe it or not, that’s the truth. What can I do about it? I can’t force you to believe anything now, can I?”“Is it because I brought you to see your brother yesterday? Is that why you’re acting so ignorant now?”Everything was fine until he mentioned Ian. Olivia had been beyond heartbroken after seeing her brother.‘How did my precious brother become that cruel man?’She raised her hand to struggle, and she scratched John’s arms with her nails. “John Freeman, you shameless douchebag! Why did you give my brother to that b*tch Dorothy Ellis?! How could you?!”“What do you mean?”“I’m scolding you and your m
She closed her eyes, letting her tears flow freely. John did not bring her back to the Cliffside Villa. He instead brought her to another apartment.He carried her into the bathroom and prepared a hot bath for her. Then, he reached out to remove her clothes. She subconsciously closed her eyes and backed off, thinking that John was about to beat her again. This scene made him feel a twinge of pain. He frowned and was slightly annoyed. “Forget it. Take off your own clothes, and take a shower on your own. Everything you need is outside, and you can stay here tonight. Dolly won’t disturb you.”He stood up and added. “I’ll come back tonight. Remember to cook dinner.”After saying that, he went out, closed the door, and instructed two bodyguards to monitor the front of the apartment. After confirming that John was gone, Olivia took the pill bottle and name card out of her pocket. The name card was wet, so she carefully wiped it with her dry clothes. ‘Luckily it’s still legibl
John stopped eating and glanced at Olivia, only to see that she was eating soup with her head down and not looking at him. Suddenly, he slammed his spoon down on the table. “Olivia, do you have to do this? I’m having lunch with you. What else do you want?”Olivia drank all the soup in her bowl and put it down gently.“Johnny, you’re talking as though having a meal together as a married couple is a gift from you. Do you think that’s normal?”“Don’t you know that Dolly is injured and still in the hospital?”“I don’t care where Dorothy is. All I want to know is when she’ll be dead!”“Olivia!”John slammed the table and stood up. He stared at Olivia coldly.“Are you going to beat me up again?”Olivia sneered and continued. “Dorothy is a vicious woman. She killed my parents and Uncle Wallace, brainwashed my brother, and even snatched my husband. Should I thank her for doing all that?”“She saved my life!”“Saved your life? So are you repaying her by giving yourself to her?”Fee
John froze, and he looked into Olivia’s eyes coldly.“Yes. Wasn’t that the condition for bailing you out of prison?”It felt like John was saying, ‘Didn’t you know that, fool?’Olivia was heartbroken again. Her legs trembled slightly, but she still clenched her teeth and smiled. She dug her nails into her flesh, trying to hold back her tears.“Well, it’s what we agreed on. You can leave now.”Olivia turned around, and tears rolled down her cheeks.She thought she had learned to be strong and cold since that night. However, her broken body and heart were still foolishly and tragically in love with this heartless man.The door slammed, and she fell to the ground.She just wanted to have a good meal with this man. However, whenever she was with him, everything from her past flashed across her mind, and it was hard for her not to feel disgusted.It was worse when she thought about John in the same bed as Dorothy.Perhaps triggered by her mood swings, the pain in her chest assaile
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
