"No! Give me back my ring!""Then you've chosen the second option. Give us a good time, and we can give you the ring back."Olivia's face paled instantly. She bit her lips, looked at the three, and clasped her arms around her chest. "Don't come over!"However, the drunks did not seem bothered. "No one will save you even if you scream your lungs out!""Give me the ring!"You chose the ring!"With that, the man in charge threw Olivia straight up against the wall and reached for her dress. "Don't move!"Olivia reached out to push the man, only to be slapped against the wall and her clothes ripped off. Her crying and pleading seemed to make the man more excited and move greater.Suddenly, a figure rushed up and kicked the man off Olivia's body.The other two were startled as they turned to look. They rolled up their sleeves to fight."Who is it? How dare you disturb us?"However, the two were soon dealt with a punch. They got up from the ground to run away.Olivia's sight was h
It was already the next day when Olivia woke up.Zyla finished making soup and had entered the room when Olivia sat up in bed with a horrified look on her face, shouting, "Give it back!"Zyla put the porridge aside. "Sis Liv, what happened? You kept saying, 'Give it back' last night."Olivia pressed her lips together and looked away. "What else did I say?""A ring or something. You kept saying, 'Give it back,' and nothing else. I asked you, and you didn't say. But you were crying the whole time. You scared me.""Sorry...""Sis Liv, you can tell me anything. It's better than holding it in."Olivia looked up and forced a smile, saying, "Okay, got it."Suddenly, she remembered yesterday. "Who sent me back yesterday?""I don't know. I didn't see... By the time I got back, you were already back and were having an IV drip."Olivia frowned and held her head as she carefully recalled yesterday.However, the voice and the figure were vague, and the smell was familiar to her—It smelle
Some of the flowers were beginning to show signs of wilting, which made her sad.What used to be a gorgeous garden was now..."I'm sorry I was negligent in looking after you."With that said, she heard the sound of a door opening in the hallway.Thinking it was Zyla, she asked without looking back, "Are you back so soon?""Olivia, so you're here!"Olivia paused and looked back at the intruder. Her face darkened. "This is my house. Where else should I be if not here?"Dorothy clenched her fists. After she was discharged from the hospital, John put her in an apartment downtown.No matter how she looked at it, she could see Olivia had lived there before.Besides that, John never went back after dropping her off, which led her to assume that Olivia must be at Cliffside Villa."How shameless! Johnny doesn't love you anymore, and you're still shamelessly pestering him. Why bother?""Really? I asked for a divorce, but Johnny tore up the divorce papers. Who do you think didn't want
"Johnny, I didn't push Liv. You have to believe me..."Dorothy hugged John as she cried, stopping him from checking on Olivia."Dolly, get up first.""No, Johnny. I'll stay on my knees if you don't believe me. It hurts to be wronged. Liv's groaning on the ground, but I really didn't..."The more Dorothy said, the more aggrieved she sounded. It was as if she had never done it."Johnny, Liv said I hired someone to kidnap her as soon as I got back. I panicked as I never did it. I got a little emotional. Who knows Liv grabbed me and hit me..."Then she looked up, pointed to a red mark on her face, and said, "Look, there are still nail marks on my face. I really didn't bully Liv... Let alone send anyone to kidnap her. Johnny..."Olivia was in so much pain that she almost fainted. All she heard was Dorothy's cries and grievances. She held her stomach and yelled through clenched teeth, "Dorothy, are you that shameless? I'm dying of pain, and you're still acting!"John looked at Olivia
Then he recalled the alley where Olivia had fought so hard to protect the ring, and somehow he felt happy.John looked down at Olivia in his arms and muttered, "Olivia, what the h*ll are you thinking?"After reaching the hospital, they rushed Olivia to the emergency room.John's heart hung in suspense until the red light went out and the doctor came out.He knew the baby was a bastard, but he was reluctant to give it up if it was gone."How is it, doctor?""Madam's not doing well and has been taking medication. Besides that, I can see that Madam has a lot of injured. Sir, Madam is pregnant and needs to be taken care of.""How about the baby?""The baby is safe for the time being, but only for now. You can't save it if there is another accident."The doctor sighed. "Besides, if there's another accident, I'm afraid that the mother's health will deteriorate, and she will lose a lot of blood if there's another accident, let alone the baby. If you don't want the baby, you should ab
"Dorothy, you!""Your brother is at my beck and call. Do you think I should give him something he shouldn't eat or take photos of something he shouldn't first?"Dorothy sneered. "Or should I let him lose a finger and an ear first? It's your choice."Terrified and trembling, Olivia clenched her lips. "Don't touch him!""Then listen well!"Just then, Zyla barged in and saw Dorothy pulling Olivia by the hair. She rushed to hit Dorothy, but Dorothy ducked.Dorothy whispered, "And keep your lackey under control. Otherwise, I don't know what I'll do."With that said, she let go of Olivia's hair and let her fall back onto the bed.Zyla tried to chase Dorothy, but Olivia grabbed her. "Stop chasing."Dorothy sneered at Olivia as she walked out the door. "You better be smart."Once they left, Zyla fumed. "Sis Liv, why did you stop me? Even if we can't defeat her, at least we got to slap her.""Forget it." "Forget it? How can we forget it? Sis Liv!""Zyla."Olivia coughed, swallowe
"You can still come back, but you can't fully rely on me. What will you do when I die?"Zyla slammed the glass down on the table. "Sis Liv, what nonsense are you talking about? Touchwood, touchwood, touchwood. You're not going to die!"With her heart melting, Olivia said with a suppressed chuckle, "We'll all die someday. And I have terminal lung cancer. You know that.""Mr. Quinton's medicine will cure you!""Girlie, there are no miracles in life, especially for me.""Sis Liv!""Listen, I didn't prevent you from coming. What's your hurry?"Zyla knew Olivia was stubborn, and it was hard to change her mind.Therefore, she pretended to agree and nodded. "Okay."Zyla agreed, but she was keeping an eye on her nearby.After all, she was afraid of Dorothy harming Olivia again.Zyla pretended to leave in the afternoon but actually went into hiding.Olivia cleaned up for a while and drove to the cemetery.The cemetery was still cold and grim, but Olivia was unafraid.In her opinio
Olivia was unaware she was being followed but subconsciously kept her distance from Aaron."What do you want to eat?""Anything's fine."Olivia was a little nervous, afraid that John would suddenly appear with a dark face and call her a b*tch. Therefore, she clasped her hands together, looked out the window awkwardly, and looked around nervously. Aaron peered at her and said with a chuckle. "Liv, you don't have to be so uptight when you're with me. It was my fault last time. We grew up together. I can't really leave you alone.""If you want to go back to design, I can help you."Olivia's eyes lit up when she heard that. "Really?""Of course, I can't beat John, but I can still give you some small orders. What's more, isn't there a design competition?""A design... competition..."She dared not even think of such a thing."Liv, don't be afraid. You can practice first. You were so good before, so you can get experience with it by practicing."With that, Aaron turned the steeri
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
