"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
Olivia nudged John, "Johnny, stop it. I'll go back with you now."John peered down at her and whispered, "Shut up. I'll deal with you when I get home.""Johnny..."Aaron reached over and grabbed Olivia's hand. "Mr. Freeman, Liv doesn't want to go with you. You shouldn't restrict her freedom."John pushed him away and looked over coldly, "Who do you think you are? Who are you to tell me how to get along with my wife?""Do you think of Liv as your wife? You're jailing her. It's up to her to decide what she does, who she sees, and where she goes."John glanced coldly at Aaron. "Are you questioning me?"Afraid that John would lose his temper with Aaron, Olivia said, "Aaron, just shut up and go."However, it set John off completely.The arm around Olivia's waist tightened as if it were going to snap her tiny waist.However, she gritted her teeth and endured it instead of saying anything."Olivia, are you defending another man in front of me?"Olivia had no idea what was going on
John’s face was dark for the entire journey. The coldness from his body was so overpowering. Olivia felt so terrified that she had to curl up against the passenger seat and stay motionless.After a while, the man parted his thin lips and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you not going to explain?”She lifted her head, tears hanging from her eyelashes. “Will you listen to my explanation?”“Go on.”John was impatient with her and only said two words. He seemed to be warning her that this was her only chance to prove her innocence.“Aaron and I are just neighbors. We never got engaged, and we’ve never done anything that’s against the rules.”“Really?”Olivia’s heart immediately went cold when she heard him questioning her. She knew John did not believe her.When they were at Cliffside Villa, John did not say anything before he pulled her inside and threw her on the sofa.Before she could react, he lifted his hand to pinch her chin. “Olivia, why are you still lying to me?”What Aaron s
“What? I don’t want an abortion! Let go of me!”Olivia kept struggling, but she could not escape John’s grip. She could only bite his wrist.He let go in pain. Then, he saw Olivia running away.She did not want an abortion!This child had gone through so many things with her. As long as it was still alive, she would not kill it.However, she was not as fast as John. Soon, she was trapped tightly in the man’s arms.“You want to run?”She struggled furiously. “Help! Help!”How could John listen to her? He sent her to the operating table straight away.Olivia’s vision turned black. She only had one thought in her head. ‘I can’t lose this child!’She escaped the doctor’s grip and grabbed the surgical knife to put it against her neck. Her eyes were red, and she yelled with tears in her eyes, “Don’t get any closer, or I’ll kill myself!”Everyone knew this was Mrs. Freeman. Even if Mr. Freeman did not like her, she could not die in front of them.“Mrs. Freeman, put down the knife.
“Olivia…”John grabbed Dorothy’s hand and sat up from the bed. His tone was laced with a hint of nervousness.When she heard that name, a sinister glint flashed across her eyes. Then, she said softly, “Johnny, you’re awake.”When John opened his eyes to see Dorothy, he was a little disappointed. He let go of her hand and asked, “Why are you here?”“Johnny, you’ve been out for five hours. I was terrified. How are you feeling now?”He ignored her and lifted his head to call out. “Wes!”Wes came in from the door. “Sir.”“Where is Olivia? Did you find her?”Wes shook his head. ”Not yet.”John’s eyes darkened. “You piece of trash. It’s been five hours, and you still can’t find her?”“Sir, we looked all over the city, but we still can’t find Madam…”John wanted to get out of bed, but the anesthetic was still in his body, so he fell back on the bed after his knees buckled.“Johnny, you should let your assistant do it. Your body is more important.“And anyway, there are only a few
John did not like it when women cried, and especially when Dorothy did. Every time she cried, it would agitate him a lot. However, Olivia was an exception.He would always want to take pity on her whenever she cried. Even after being deceived by her so many times, he would still go soft on her.Dorothy noticed how impatient he was, so she stopped pestering him. She nodded obediently. “Alright. I’ll wait for you at home.”“Alright.”After leaving the room, Dorothy’s eyes darkened.‘Damn that Olivia! She’s going to die, but she can still make John think about her. She truly has a death wish!’The anesthetic was initially only supposed to last for three hours. However, Dorothy added another dose to prolong the duration. John still could not move freely after five hours.She did not want him to find that b*tch Olivia!She wanted her people to find her first so she could kill Olivia and destroy her body, thus killing two birds with one stone.As long as she was dead, Dorothy woul
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
