The mother and daughter of the Jameson family cried together, attracting more people to watch the scene.“Tsk tsk, how unexpected. This little girl is so young, but she’s so evil. How can she make a mother kneel for her?”“I heard that the one kneeling is Mrs. Jameson. How powerful is that woman, being able to force the matriarch of the Jameson family to kneel for her?”“I heard she’s a mistress…”This was getting more and more outrageous!Olivia could not bear it anymore. She looked at the crowd coldly. “There should be a limit to gossiping. Aren’t you afraid of getting sued for spreading rumors?”Upon hearing this, everyone was a little scared and took a step back.Just then, Rainie cried and shouted, “Olivia, you even asked my mother to kneel down for you? Are you devoid of conscience?”Mrs. Jameson tugged at Rainie's clothes and reminded in a low voice. “Shut up, do you want to make more trouble?”However, Rainie did not care at all. She bit her lip and looked at Olivia. “
Olivia paused, cocked her head, and looked at the man. “Why are you here?”Zac chuckled lightly. “I’ve been here since yesterday, it’s just that you were asleep. I made sure you were okay, then I left.”After he finished saying that, the next thing he said was in a graver tone. “You, on the other hand, didn’t tell me anything about such a huge thing happening. You really do see me as a stranger, huh?”That final sentence put Olivia’s heart on alert. She pursed her lips and replied, “I don’t want you to worry. Besides, it’s not all that bad.”“Not all that bad? Olivia Larson, please try to at least come up with a better script the next time you lie.”She had nothing to say, so she looked down and stared at the road beneath her feet.“I give up. Please, just tell me everything next time, okay?” Zac paused for a while before he continued. “Also, what was that?”“Mrs. Jameson knelt before me in an attempt to get me to forgive Rainie Jameson.”Zac frowned and barked coldly, “The Jam
“Another daughter?” Zyla was a little confused. “What do you mean by that?”With that, Olivia told Zyla everything she knew, especially what she had heard from the stairway.After that, Zyla frowned. “Sis Liv, could it be that Rainie is actually not a Jameson?”Not a Jameson?Olivia pursed her lips and shook her head. “No way. There’s no way that the Jamesons would just pick a random girl to be their daughter.”Everyone in Ocean City knew how much Mr. and Mrs. Gordan Jameson pampered this daughter of theirs. It was not possible for them to love her like that if she was not their own flesh and blood.However, Zyla did not think so. She sneered. “Who knows? Since Mrs. Jameson lost a daughter, she naturally wouldn’t care if her new daughter was her own flesh and blood or not.“For Mrs. Jameson to kneel down for Rainie, she must really love her.”Olivia’s eyes watered slightly as she was reminded of her own mother.A glimpse of coldness flashed across Zyla’s eyes. “Rainie just luc
“What…”A new headline soon popped up as well.“An evil mistress named Dorothy Ellis planned her own car accident, bribed the doctors, and framed the wife in order to take her place!”Olivia’s breathing hitched. Her heart rate increased, and at that moment, she was overwhelmed.She clicked the headlines, scrolled down, and saw that the article even included the testimony of the doctor. It seemed like Dorothy finally outdid herself with this one.The comments were all filled with sentences describing how despicable and shameless Dorothy was, as well as some obscenities so bad that even Olivia could not stomach them. She was quick to switch off the screen.“Zy…”Tears began to flow down from the corner of Olivia’s eyes. Her lips curled up slightly as she hugged Zyla.“What happened, Sis Liv? Why are you crying?” Zyla reached over to Olivia with her hand to wipe her tears away.“I’m so happy, Zy.” Olivia sniffled as her trembling lips formed another smile. “I’m so happy, Zy!”W
“Ms. Larson?”Olivia lifted up her head to see Wilbur. She immediately yanked his hand and pointed toward her ward in a panic. “Quick! Go save Zy!”Just as they arrived at Olivia’s ward, they heard a painful cry from Zyla.Wilbur swooped in and restrained the man while Olivia caught Zyla, who was falling backward, in her arms. When Olivia saw the knife that was buried deep in Zyla’s chest, she was stunned.Blood. There was blood everywhere on Zyla’s chest. Scarlet, crimson blood that blinded Olivia.“Zy!”Her voice was shaking as her tears fell onto Zyla’s face like rain. “Zy! Don’t fall asleep! Hang in there!”Then, she quickly placed Zyla down and ran toward the hallway, screaming and crying, “Doctor! Doctor! Hurry! Help!”However, for some unknown reason, the hospital’s walkway was unusually quiet. Olivia’s cries for help echoed emptily and helplessly.“Doctor! Please save Zy! Please save my Zy!”As she ran towards the nursing station, Olivia bumped into Ken, and she tugge
Olivia was in no mood to argue with John. “Let go of me!”“Tell me!”John had no plans to let her go just like that. The grip he had on her arm tightened further as he bellowed, “Why? Why do you want Dolly dead so badly?”“John, you’re hurting me.”“So, you know what pain is? Dolly slit her wrist! She tried to kill herself! Do you know that?”Did Dolly attempt suicide?Olivia was stunned for a while before she looked coldly at John and said, “Yes, I can’t wait for her to die! She killed Uncle Wallace, she killed my mom, she forced my dad to kill himself, and she snatched you from me! Doesn’t she deserve to die?”“Those are all just your speculations.”Olivia looked at how he was questioning her, and her heart felt like it had been stabbed a thousand times. She could not help but sneer coldly. “You really love your Dolly, huh?”When Olivia was buried alive because of John, where was he?He was busy helping Dorothy Ellis get out of jail!And now, because of him as well, Zy had
John stopped in his tracks, but he did not turn around. He just said in a low and hoarse voice, “Olivia, I can’t afford to let her die.”Hearing this, Olivia did not continue pursuing the matter. She smiled wryly, looking at his back. It was as if someone had stabbed her heart. The coolness forming around the wound made her whole body so cold that it stiffened. Waves of grief and anger followed.The meaning behind the words ‘I can’t afford to let her die’ was that anyone could die except Dorothy, including Olivia herself. If she was nothing in John’s heart, why did he still keep her by his side and not let her go?She was dying to ask him, ‘So, what about our past, the time when we were madly in love?’However, she knew that she would not like John’s answer, so she just responded lightly, “Yeah, I get it.”John shivered slightly, then dragged her downstairs. He tossed her into the room and said to the nurse coldly, “Extract her blood and save Dorothy.”The nurse stared at t
Zac nodded. “Yes, it was me.”Olivia’s tears immediately welled up and dripped on the back of Zac’s hand. Before he could react, she had already hugged him. "Thank you, Zac. Thank you.”The man she had loved for seventeen years gave her up without hesitation when she was about to die, but a stranger like Zac chose to save her with his kindness and generosity. She would never forget such a good deed. As for her heart, it was completely broken because of the man she loved.She could still dream about reconciliation when she did not know the truth, but now that she did, she finally understood how cruel and unacceptable the truth could be. ‘John really had no intention to save me back then.’Thinking of this, Olivia cried so hard that she was out of breath, and finally passed out due to lack of oxygen.“Liv!”Zac became anxious, picked Olivia up, and ran out, but John went forward to stop him at the door.“Move!”John’s gaze fell on Olivia’s face. “Dorothy can’t wait any longer
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
