John's burial was the next day.Olivia had been up almost all night because of what happened last night. Her eyes were red and swollen.Mrs. Simmons thought she was crying because of John, so she did not ask any more questions. She only cooked an egg and gently applied it to her eyes."Miss, don't be sad. It will be troublesome if you hurt yourself from crying too hard."Olivia did not want Mrs. Simmons to worry, so she forced a smile without explaining. "Yeah, I know. I'm fine.""Miss, once Sir is buried, let's leave Ocean City."Hearing this, she froze for a moment. "Why?""Oh, Miss. It doesn't bother me. I'm old. Anything will do, but I don't want to see you and the two children get involved in these disputes again. I'm scared."Mrs. Simmons touched her face, tears in her eyes. "I'm scared... scared of having to see you die so young, Miss."Olivia frowned with mixed feelings.She knew what Mrs. Simmons was worried about, but how could she leave?"Mrs. Simmons, John's dead
The cemetery.Ken chose the gravesite, and it was next to Olivia's parents.She did not know until she got there."Why here? Ken, did you do it on purpose?"Ken said nothing and only stood in front of Zyla's tombstone.After a long time, he said, "I don't want him to be alone. It's better if they're all together.""Better? Does he deserve it?"He was involved with Dad and Zy's death. How dare he rest with them?Ken only smiled at this, "Didn't you say there's no hatred when people die? Why do you still hate him? It's not like you at all."Olivia bit her lip and said with a sneer, "Who asked him to die? If he didn't die, he could come out and stop me from scolding him.""Liv, you're lying."Olivia glanced at him and said no more.The time of the burial was not made public, so Ken and she were the only ones who came.Watching the earth being filled, the tombstone being raised, and the familiar yet strange photograph on it, she realized John was dead.She seemed to be discou
Wilbur glanced awkwardly at her and stammered, "M-Mr. Quinton will be very busy today. I'm afraid he won't have time to see you, Madam. Why not take a rain check?""No, let's do it today. I won't keep him for long."Wilbur could not say anything more, so he could only bite the bullet and reply in acknowledgment. Then he quietly texted Zac."Are you trying to give my brother-in-law a hard time again?"Hearing Ian mention John, Olivia was dumbfounded for a moment. "How can I give your brother-in-law a hard time when he is already buried?""I meant the living one."With that said, Ian could not help sneering and saying, "It's not my fault that you have too many husbands."Olivia knew he was taking it out on her by being so sarcastic, so she let it go."There's something I'd like to tell him.""What about me?"Ian said out of the blue. "You have plenty of time to deal with different things every day, but you seem to forget about me. Aren't you going to deal with me? I'm afraid if
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
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
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
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, “
“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
