A divorce agreement?A few seconds later, Olivia realized what all of this was about.It seemed like Dorothy had already given John the divorce agreement.“Now that you’ve got the divorce papers, Dorothy must have explained everything to you, right?”John frowned and stared at Olivia coldly. “What does this matter have to do with Dorothy? Didn’t you mail this to me?”“John, you’ve been saying that you’re so smart, but how can Dorothy fool you so easily?”Noticing John’s rising anger, Olivia felt it was ridiculous. “Dorothy forced me to sign the divorce agreement and the confession video. Both of them were part of our deal.”“What deal?”“For Uncle Wallace.”Olivia had no idea if John would believe her, but she could see the mixed emotions in his eyes. He seemed to be more hesitant than angry. Taking advantage of his absent-minded state, Olivia pushed him away, climbed up from the sofa, and looked at him coldly from a few feet away.“Well, I don’t think you’ll believe me eit
“You!”Dorothy looked at Olivia sinisterly and clenched her fist as she scolded her. “Olivia, it’s you! You did this to me! You set me up for everything! You did it on purpose!”“Me?” Olivia pointed at herself and clenched her teeth. “Dorothy, do you mean to say I harmed you? You destroyed my family and destroyed my marriage. Who do you think is the mean one here?”“I didn’t! Why would I harm you?”Dorothy buried herself into John’s arms in tears and said, “Johnny, don’t be deceived by her. I’d never hurt Liv.”As if afraid that John would push her away, she added, “Johnny, don’t forget that Liv killed our child.”Child?Olivia sneered. “You used a fake test slip, but you still think you had a baby? Are you delusional, Dorothy?”In the past, Olivia put up with Dorothy whenever John was around.She would not endure Dorothy’s ridicule and bullying any more today.Uncle Wallace had to suffer all this because of her patience.She might be the one dead next if she continued endur
Olivia was so angry that she was trembling all over. This woman was lying about everything so calmly.“You! How dare you say such a thing!”Olivia coughed again because of her emotional fluctuation. She covered her mouth with her hand and swallowed the blood back down.Then, she stared at Dorothy and scolded her. “Dorothy, you're a demon! A hopeless, ungrateful woman!”“Olivia, don’t go too far! You blamed Uncle Wallace’s death on me and edited such a video saying I threw Uncle Wallace’s ashes all around.”Dorothy sniffled and bit her lips as she said, “I struggled to find Uncle Wallace’s body because I was afraid you would be sad, so I wanted to burn the ashes and give them to you.“But what did you do? You planted evidence to frame me!”Olivia’s lips quivered as she looked at Dorothy in disbelief.She could really make up stories.She lifted her hand, wanting to hit Dorothy. However, someone caught her hand in mid-air.“That’s enough!”With a sullen face, John shoved Olivi
“What? Don’t touch me! I didn’t kill anyone!'Dorothy panicked and hid behind John. “Johnny, help me, quick! I’m innocent!”“Ms. Ellis, please cooperate with us.”“No! Why are you arresting me? Do you have any evidence? Don't accuse me unjustly!”Dorothy was panicking. She gripped Johnny’s sleeve tightly and refused to let go.The policeman looked at John helplessly. “Mr. Freeman, please don’t make this difficult for us.”John’s face was gloomy. He pried Dorothy’s grip open and handed her to the police.“Dolly, the police will clear your name if you’re innocent.”That destroyed Dorothy’s last hope of getting away.She was not innocent and might have to go to prison if the police interrogated her.“Johnny, I didn't do it…” Dorothy cried and reached out to pull John, but he dodged.She would never give in.Suddenly, she rushed forward and shouted at Olivia, “Are you satisfied, Olivia? You have done so much to frame me!”Before Olivia could react, John stood before her, frown
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.Thinking that it was John again, Olivia roared, “Get out! Don’t let me see you again!”“Sis Liv, it’s me, Zyla.”Zyla?She was startled and wiped away her tears, trying to control her emotions. However, when she opened the door and saw Zyla, she could hold it back any more and wailed as she hugged Zyla.She knew she was useless. She hated herself, but she could not control her tears.After a long while, Olivia stopped crying, let go of Zyla, and headed to the bathroom.She took her medicine, showered, changed her clothes, and walked out again.When she saw Zyla looking worried, she smiled and said, “Zy, I’m fine.”Olivia said she was fine, but she still felt heartbroken.Zyla made herself a cup of tea and handed it to Olivia. “Sis Liv, drink some tea to warm your body.”“Where were you just now?” Olivia asked, taking a sip.“Oh, after Wes dragged him out, we went to a café downstairs. Then, we saw the police and feared something would
The other end of the line fell silent once he finished speaking, making Olivia nervous for some reason."Zac, last time in the hospital, you said you and I were sworn friends."Olivia pressed her lips together and said solemnly, "I care a lot about my friends. If it costs your life to do it, I don't want it. Got it?"After all, dealing with Dorothy was her business.If there was going to be death, it was going to be hers, not Zac's.Zac and Zyla were the only ones who sincerely stayed by her side, so she could not afford to lose either.Suddenly, a chuckle rang in Olivia's ear like a mountain stream.It was the first time she had ever said something like this. Zac's chuckle annoyed her. "Why are you laughing? Are you having second thoughts?""Liv." He called her with a chuckle."I'm glad you're finally admitting we're friends. I really am glad."Olivia's ears reddened slightly. "Anyway, you and Zy are my friends. Promise me that nothing happens to you.""Don't worry. I know
Olivia's heart shuddered as she entered the familiar place.How many times had she been here?However, this time was unlike before. She came here as a free woman, not a prisoner.When she reached the iron bars, Olivia found Dorothy looking haggard after only one day.She was still wearing the same designer clothes but had lost her spirits. Her hair and makeup were a mess. She seemed a little tired of being questioned by the police.'It's not enough! It's not nearly enough!'What does Dorothy's suffering compare to my mom's death, Uncle Wallace's suffering, and my brother's life?'"Dorothy, you deserve this."Hearing Olivia's voice, Dorothy turned around and screamed at her, "Olivia! I'll kill you!""How unrepentant! Dorothy, you're really hopeless.""Ha, I'm hopeless? Olivia, you and the Larson family made me do it!"Dorothy's eyes were scarlet as she held the railing and grinned at her. "Olivia, you don't think that's going to get me, do you? Johnny will save me."Olivia's
He was in his usual black suit as he stood tall. He looked at her with cold, distant eyes.Olivia did not want to see him, but it was Uncle Wallace's funeral, and she did not want to make a scene.Therefore, she stepped aside.John placed the flowers in his hand in front of the gravestone. He glanced at her and said indifferently, "I need to talk to you once this is over."Olivia felt strangely uneasy.'Is he here to intercede on Dorothy's behalf?'"I don't have time."John said nothing after getting rejected, nor did he stay. He walked away as she never spoke.Olivia slowly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he did not make a scene,She knew she would have to face what she feared sooner or later.However, she could comfort herself as long as it did not happen.Maybe he still had feelings for her and would not force her.More people came and made polite remarks, and Olivia made polite replies in return."Mrs. Freeman, I didn't expect to see you again. I'm sorry ab
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
