"Zyla, stop it!"Olivia did not want to repeat the same mistake, so she chose to stop.John did not believe her, right?The next moment, John looked at her with an inexplicable smile. "Lung cancer, right?"Olivia froze, confused.'Did he really know about it?'Or is he laughing at me?'"Johnny...""Olivia, have you two had enough acting? Do you think I will get fooled again?""Mr. Freeman, I'm telling you the truth. Sis Liv has lung cancer, and it's terminal. She doesn't have much time left! You can check with the hospital if you don't believe me!"Unable to bear it any longer, Zyla yelled, "Sis Liv's health is deteriorating. Do you know she needs medicines every day to live normally?"John gazed at them coldly, and the smile on his lips became weirder.Then he took a piece of paper out from his pocket, opened it, and held it up to them. He sneered. "Are the medicines you talked about vitamins?"Olivia was puzzled. "Johnny, what's this?""The medicine in your bottle! I sa
"You jerk! You have no right to scold Sis Liv!"Zyla finished yelling, grabbed Olivia, and ran away before John reacted.Olivia was still in a daze when they got to the car.Zyla had just slapped John in public!She knew Zyla was bold, but she had no idea she was that bold. John was so concerned about his reputation that she was treading dangerous grounds.Worried, Olivia grabbed Zyla's hand. "Zyla, you need to get out of Ocean City. Run as far as you can!""Huh? Why?"Seeing Zyla looking indifferent, Olivia got more worried. The girl was not even alert."You just slapped Johnny in public. He won't let you off the hook. I'll give you money to leave.""Sis Liv, you don't have to worry. It's all right.""No, I can't let anything happen to you!"Zyla paused first before tears filled her eyes. Then she hugged her. "Sis Liv, I'm glad you care so much about me. I really do.""You...""Sis Liv, it's not the first time I've scolded him. Even if I slapped him this time, he deserves
Back in the car, Zyla quickly asked when she saw her gloomy expression, "Was that Dorothy?"She shook her head. "No, it's just a spam call."Zyla did not believe her and pursued it. "You look so pale. It must be..."Olivia looked coldly ahead and started the car before interrupting, "Zyla, you're hurt. I'll take you back to the Golden Hills Apartment first. Help me make soup with the ingredients in the fridge. I have something to do. I'll be back for dinner after I'm done.""Sis Liv, are you going to leave me alone again?"Remembering what Dorothy had just said, Olivia bit her lip and said with scarlet eyes, "Be good. I'm only seeing Zac."Zyla was relieved to hear that he was seeing Zac."Okay, hurry back.""Okay."After dropping Zyla off at Golden Hills Apartment, Olivia immediately drove to Zac's law firm.When it was over, she would find a way to send Zyla away.Otherwise, it was too dangerous.She was more worried about Dorothy than she was about John.Dorothy said on
Olivia froze slightly before taking the document pouch. "What's this?""Uncle Wallace's autopsy report."'Autopsy report?'Olivia widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief. "Wasn't the body stolen?""Before I sent it to the police station, I called the most authoritative forensic pathologist in the country to do an autopsy. He made this report. It's proof of your innocence."The word "innocence" cut deep into her heart.Uncle Wallace's body exonerated her, but she was going to plead guilty for Uncle Wallace's death.She thought it was a little funny, so she threw back her head and laughed. "Justice has long arms. Zac, thank you."Maybe because Olivia laughed and started crying, it worried Zac.He scrambled to hand her tissue and quickly said, "Liv, I'm sorry about Uncle Wallace. I didn't ask anyone to guard it, or it wouldn't have been stolen, but trust me, we'll find it.""I don't blame you. You've helped me a lot."Zac looked at her sorrily for a while before comfort
'Why lie?'Wes sighed. He knew John was still in love with Madam, but..."Sir, when was the last time you had a candlelight dinner with Madam?""What's the matter? Are you blaming me for not spending time with her?"John sneered and snubbed his cigarette. "How did she treat me two years ago? She lied to me and betrayed me, and she never repented!""Sir, there's been a lot of talk about you and Ms. Ellis these past two years. No woman in the world would tolerate her best friend betraying her with her husband."Seeing that John was drunk, Wes ventured to say, "What's more, you weren't with Madam two years ago when she suffered a miscarriage. Sir, did it ever occur to you that this was all a misunderstanding?"John was silent. He did not know what was wrong with him.He hated her so much, but he was always trying to defend her. Or he would not be checking her medicines.'Is it really a misunderstanding?'Just then, his phone rang."Sir, Madam had gone to Willow City with Mr. Qu
At the hotel.Ben, clean and dripping in water, came in and plopped down on his knees. "Ms. Larson, let me live!"It seemed he had recognized her.Olivia pulled a blanket from the side and threw it at Ben. She said through clenched teeth, "Look up."Ben obediently looked up at them, trembling. "Ms. Larson, Mr. Quinton, let me live.""It seems you recognize us. Who told you to hit Mr. Quinton?"Ben bit his lip and hesitated as if frightened."Are you not going to tell me?"Olivia put her hands around her chest, pretending to be calm. "You should know Mr. Quinton is a lawyer. We have the surveillance video of you hitting him. How many years do you think you'll get for a hit-and-run?"A minimum of three years for hit-and-run, and a minimum of ten years for intentional homicide. You might get the death penalty too!"Zac answered, scaring Ben out of his wits with a few words.She could see that Ben was afraid to die, or he would not be reduced to a beggar and live in degradation.
As soon as the car was hit, Zac rolled over and wrapped Olivia in his arms as if it were on reflex."Watch out!"There was a loud crash, and the car finally came to a stop as it hit a tree.Olivia was dazed by the impact, and blood ran down her forehead, blinding her eyes.She reached out to grab Ben's arm. "Ben? Ben?"However, no matter how much she yelled, Ben did not respond.He could not let anything happen to Ben, or their efforts would go to waste!Unable to see Zac's injuries, she crawled over with difficulty and shook Ben, her voice hoarse and tearful. "Ben, wake up! You can't die!""Ms... Ms. Lar... Larson..."Ben spoke, his voice slurred.However, she was overjoyed when she heard his voice. "Ben, are you alright?""Ms. Larson, I'm sorry, but I might not make it..."His voice was small, and his breathing was vague as if it might stop the next moment.Olivia was instantly stunned as she grabbed his arm. "You can't die! I want you to testify against Dorothy!""No..
'Ben's dead?'Olivia was still in a trance as she tugged at Zyla. Her face was pale and bloodless as she said, "Say that again.""Ben's... dead.""No way! Impossible!"Olivia cried and shook her head. "You're lying to me, aren't you?"Zyla had no idea what had happened, but she knew Ben was an important witness.It would upset Olivia now that he was dead.Therefore, she hugged Olivia tightly and comforted her in a whisper, "Sis Liv, I'm sorry. He was already dead when the ambulance got there.""How is that possible?"Ignoring the needle in her hand, Olivia shook Zyla desperately, crying and asking repeatedly.How could the witness she tried so hard to find just die?Zyla frowned as the tube in her hand ran red with blood. However, she could not think of anything to comfort her, so she let Olivia shake her. Finally, Olivia cried until she passed out, and Zyla breathed a sigh of relief.Once Olivia was settled in, Zyla returned to Golden Hills Apartment with groceries, prep
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
