After Olivia got into the car, Zyla handed her a sandwich.“Sis Liv, have something for breakfast. Have you taken your medicines?”“I’ve taken my breakfast. Thank you.”Zyla looked at Olivia as she said seriously, “Sis Liv, I’ve told you countless times that you don’t have to thank me.”Olivia froze for a moment and nodded. “Okay. What else did Mr. Quinton say?”“Nothing much. He asked me to tell you not to worry about Uncle Wallace’s matter. He will be by your side, and you’ll never go to prison.”“I trust him.”Zac was the best lawyer in Ocean City. She would not have to worry about him helping her out.However, Olivia knew this was not the end of Dorothy’s trap.Olivia wanted revenge, yet Dorothy was always on the winning side, which annoyed her.At the police station, Olivia got the opportunity to meet Aaron easily.Aaron looked haggard in just one night. His beard grew, and his eyes were bloodshot. Anyone could see he did not sleep that night.Aaron was not surprised t
At this moment, John, who was in Freeman Group’s office, smashed his phone on the ground in displeasure.“Are you sure she went to the police station?”Wes gulped and nodded. “Yes. Mrs. Freeman has just left the police station.”John sneered. She had gone to meet Aaron early in the morning. It was true love indeed!‘So, this is the so-called seventeen years of love?‘She treasured a man who didn’t even care about her?’John swept everything from the table to the ground. “Testify the matter and let Aaron leave.”“Mr. Freeman…” Wes bit his lips and hesitated.“What’s the matter?”“Erm…” Wes took a deep breath. “Mrs. Freeman had explained to the police that it was a misunderstanding and suggested locking Aaron up for two days.”‘A misunderstanding? Two days?’John was speechless. He had no idea if Olivia was trying to punish or protect Aaron.He felt rage flow through him like lava. Standing up, the first thing John did was kick the dustbin to vent his anger.It made him wond
Looking at them acting intimately, Olivia was heartbroken again.However, she still had to pretend to be okay with it.“Johnny, about Aaron…”Before Olivia could finish her sentence, John scoffed. “Are you still thinking about that garbage? Olivia, I didn’t know you could be so infatuated with someone.”Olivia was dumbfounded when she heard that and froze.‘What… is he talking about?’“Johnny, you’ve misunderstood. Aaron and I…”“Get out!”“Johnny…”John’s gaze was cold. “Are you planning to stand there and watch Dorothy and me acting intimately?”With that, he bent down to kiss Dorothy’s lips. However, before their lips could touch, Olivia had already darted out of the room, escaping from this situation. The door slammed shut behind her.Dorothy had been waiting for John’s lips to kiss hers, but John pushed her away and walked to the window.“Johnny?”Frustrated and disappointed, Dorothy stood up and walked over to him, hugging him around the waist from behind and pressin
After rushing out of the president’s office, Olivia went straight into the stairwell.She leaned against the wall and began to cry helplessly, gradually sliding down the wall and sitting on the ground.She thought she was strong enough and would not feel heartbroken again.However, it still hurt her to watch John and Dorothy acting intimately.She crouched on the ground with her face covered and cried for a long time. Tears did not stop flowing down her cheeks even when she coughed.John would not listen to her explanation, even once.Countless times, she told herself it was the last time she would cry and feel devastated for that man. However, in the end, there was no ending to this matter.Every time, her tears flowed uncontrollably.She could still feel her heart ripped apart and the unbearable pain in her.After some time, when her legs were numb, she stood up slowly and wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand. Then, she lifted her head, preventing more tea
Zyla blocked in front of Olivia and asked, “What makes you think you can arrest her just like that?”“The evidence, of course. Don’t you see the arrest warrant? Step away, miss, or I’ll charge you with obstruction of justice.”Zyla wanted to argue, but Olivia forced herself to sit up and said, “I’ll go with you.”“Sis Liv, your body…”“Zyla, contact Mr. Quinton.”Olivia’s face was pale. Her body swayed when she stood up, as though she would faint at any moment. Even the police officer could not bear to see her in such a state.“Miss, you are allowed to accompany Ms. Larson to the police station.”“Thank you.”Zyla quickly helped Olivia to stand up and said, “Be careful.”Olivia was taken into the interrogation room at the police station, and Zyla contacted Zac.In the command room outside the interrogation room, a policeman led a man with a wounded hand and asked, “Is it her?”The man nodded and replied affirmatively, “Yes, that’s her! Ms. Larson, or should I call her Mrs. F
Then he sent a photo. "This is a photo of you meeting Wallace the other day."Olivia was shocked to hear that. She looked over and gasped instantly.The photo was fake, and the so-called witness must have been bribed.The set-up was so elaborate that she was almost trapped in the middle.Dorothy arranged all kinds of witnesses and even a reason to kill.Olivia smiled desperately. "Police officer, someone has framed me. It seems I have nothing to say to defend myself."In particular, the thought that Dorothy was in intimate contact with John made her heart ache.Suddenly, she gasped for breath and coughed as if she wanted to cough up her lungs.She frowned and covered her mouth. She swallowed the blood painfully and asked, "Do you have a trash can?"Thinking she wanted to throw up, the policeman pushed the trash can at his feet to her.Olivia leaned over the trash can and spat a mouthful of blood and then some bloody vomit.She blacked out and almost fainted.However, the th
Olivia frantically looked over and saw a familiar figure lying on the ground not far away.She pushed Zac's hand away and ran toward the crowd.Before taking two steps, her legs gave way, and she tripped.She got up hurriedly, ignored the pain, and ran on.Suddenly, someone grabbed her arm."Liv, calm down."Olivia struggled. "Let go of me. It's Zyla. Something must have happened to Zyla. I'm going to check on her!"Then she broke free of Zac's grip and ran to the scene."Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"She pushed through the crowd and saw Zyla get up from the floor and look at the lively fish with a heartbroken expression.Then Zyla turned and snapped, "Hey, did you buy your driver's license? The light is green, and the child is on the zebra crossing. Are you in a hurry to die?"She scolded the driver until he hung their head low and dared not speak.Zyla pointed to the fish on the ground. "And what are you going to do with my fish?""Miss, I'll make up for your
"What?"She woke up suddenly and sat up in bed."What did you say, Sir? Uncle Wallace's body is missing?""Yes, Mr. Quinton sent the body over yesterday afternoon. The forensic pathologist got off work after checking the body, and the body was stolen in the middle of the night."He did not have to tell Olivia these things.However, the police also knew Olivia had found and stored the body, so he should inform her.Olivia felt something exploding in her head and froze.She even failed to protect Uncle Wallace's body after all. She was useless!Olivia's cries woke Zyla up. Ruffling her matted hair, she asked, "Sis Liv, why are you crying?"Is there something wrong with the case again?""Zyla, Uncle Wallace's body is missing again."When she said the word "again", her eyes were helpless and regretful, which made people find it pitiful.Zyla frowned. "Sis Liv, don't worry. The police will find it. Don't worry."Olivia cried and shook her head. "I lost Uncle Wallace. It's my fa
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
