Olivia had a dream about her mother. She was crying and wanted to hug her mother, but there seemed to be a barrier between them, and she could never reach out to her.She could see her lips moving but could not hear her voice. She was anxious and started yelling while crying.“Mom!”However, her mother just shook her head with tears in her eyes and slowly walked away.“Mom, don’t go!” Olivia wanted to break the glass barrier as she cried. “Mom, take me with you, please?”Sobbing over and over again, she woke up with Zac’s arm still in her grip.Seeing her awake, Zac caressed her head. “Had a bad dream?”Olivia was taken aback, and it took her a while to recover. She used Zac’s arm to wipe her tears and said pitifully, “It wasn’t a bad dream. I dreamed about my mother.”“Olivia, your snot and tears are all over my shirt. It was expensive.”Hearing that, she quickly let go of his hand. “I’m sorry. I…I’ll buy you a new one.”Suddenly, Zac pulled her into his arms and comforted
Jorge was stunned when he was cut. All Zac and Olivia heard was him begging and screaming.This move from her shocked Zac as well. He trembled a little and stared at her for quite some time before reacting.It was because Olivia had cut Jorge’s index finger off.The floor was drenched with blood, and the scene was awfully bloody. Even her face was stained with a few drops of blood.However, her expression was exceptionally calm as if she had just cut a carrot. Right after, she tossed the knife aside and said firmly, “Jorge, remember everything that happened today. If there’s a next time, it will be your neck instead of your finger then!”After saying that, Olivia turned away and walked out of the room.Zac quickly followed and gave Wilbur a few instructions. After that, he ran towards Olivia, who was standing still in the corridor.Seeing her pale face and piercing eyes, Zac did not dare to speak, so he just stood there and accompanied her. After a long while, Olivia said wi
Ken was startled for a moment. Then, he smiled and greeted him. “Zac, long time no see. Let’s grab a drink whenever you’re free.”Zac ignored Ken and turned around. He spoke to Olivia gently. “Liv, I’ll leave you and Ken alone. I’ll go get something for you to eat.”Then, he walked away.Olivia looked at Zac, who was leaving, puzzled. “Dr. Lucas, did you offend Mr. Quinton in any way?”They were on good terms, if she was not mistaken.Ken smiled wryly and shook his head. “No, of course. He is on bad terms with John, and I’m John’s doctor, so he thinks I’m his enemy.”Olivia nodded. “Well, that makes sense.”“Mrs. Freeman, do you think so too?” Ken felt helpless. “I’m not on John’s side. I have no choice because the Freeman family is more powerful than the Quinton family. I support you deep down in my heart.”It did not matter to Olivia whose side Ken was on, so she did not want to dwell on it. Instead, she asked, “When will Zyla wake up?”“Luckily, the knife did not stab her h
When Ken saw Zac carrying Olivia, he froze for a moment. “Zac, did you drug Mrs. Freeman?”“It’s just a sleeping pill.”“But…”Zac glanced at Ken coldly. “Ken, what you choose to do is your business, but I’ll never forgive you if you’re here to help that b*stard John.”Ken looked sad when he said, “John might have done some unacceptable things, but he actually cares about his wife. I think you know that.”“You mean when he saved Olivia from getting hurt?”Ken nodded.Zac sneered. “I know about that, and I was there. I even thought John would change.“But do you know what he did when Zyla was being rescued?”‘What did he do?”“He took Liv to get her blood to save Dorothy, who was in prison.”Ken could not believe what he heard. “T-That can’t be…”“Can’t be true? You can ask John yourself if he still has a conscience.” Zac glanced at Olivia, who was in his arms. “Even if he still loves Liv, he cannot deny what he did to her, and Liv will never forget it either.”With that, h
“W-what are you doing here?”Scared by Zac’s overbearing appearance, Dorothy staggered back and fell on her bed.He just walked in and closed the door with his behind him. He looked at Dorothy coldly and said nothing.“Zac Quinton, why are you here?” Dorothy was terrified to be alone in the ward with him.“Dorothy, you’re lucky I don’t hit women.”Her anger surged, and she was back to her usual arrogant self when she heard what Zac said. “Why are you here, then? To get revenge for that b*tch?”Zac grabbed Dorothy’s neck as soon as he heard the word ‘b*tch’. He looked at her murderously and said, “Dorothy, I said I don’t hit women, but I didn’t say I wouldn’t kill.”Then, he let go of her neck, wiped his hand on a handkerchief, and smiled. “I’ve come to tell you to behave yourself, or I’ll send you to hell right now.”Dorothy was frightened by him and coughed as she said, “Johnny won’t let you do that.”“He won’t? Does he have the right to decide? Don’t forget that I’m the vict
Dorothy was shocked. She held her right hand in pain and looked at John with tears shimmering in her eyes. “Johnny…”However, instead of pitying her, John asked, “Is what the media reported true?”He was asking about the fake accident and her employing a murderer to kill Zac.“Johnny, don’t you believe me?”She cried, out of breath, as if she had been wronged.When she lifted her head and saw that John was unmoved, she panicked and wanted to hug him, but he dodged her.“Dorothy, I’m giving you a chance to confess. There won’t be another chance if you miss this one.”He would have dealt with this earlier on if it was anyone else, but Dorothy had saved him and accompanied him throughout his most painful days, so he could not do anything much to her.“Johnny,” Dorothy said. She sniffled and lied calmly. “I did none of those things. Someone framed me.”John’s eyes flashed with disappointment, and he asked, “Do you know Jorge?”Hearing that name, Dorothy panicked.At this moment,
It was morning when Olivia woke up again. Looking around, she saw no one in the room. On the table beside her was an insulated lunch box with a piece of paper under it.“Remember to eat your meals.”Apparently it was from Zac.Recalling last night, Olivia knew why she had suddenly felt so sleepy, even though she only realized it now.It must have been from the water Zac poured for her. However, she did not plan to blame him for that. After all, he did that because he wanted her to rest well.She got up and put on her jacket, planning to visit Zyla.However, she bumped into Dorothy, who was coming to look for trouble, as soon as she walked out.“I heard from Johnny that you donated some blood to me again. I came to thank you.”Seeing the smug look on Dorothy’s face, Olivia felt annoyed. She glanced at her coldly and said calmly, “It’s nothing. After all, I wouldn’t want you to die so soon. I can only get revenge on you if you’re still alive.”That was not the reaction Dorothy w
The call went through soon after Ken dialed the number, and John’s deep voice came through the phone. “Yes?”Dorothy froze. She remained silent and observed Ken in horror.However, Ken chuckled and said, “I visited Mrs. Freeman. She’s recovering well. I’m just calling to tell you so you won’t worry.”“Okay.”Suddenly, Ken sneered. “But I happened to meet Ms. Ellis on the way…”Before he could finish his words, Dorothy snatched the phone and hung up the call. Her face was pale. “What’s… your relationship with Johnny?”Only a few people she knew could talk to John like that.Olivia was too annoyed to even look at Dorothy. She wanted to end this pointless conversation, so she tugged Ken’s arm and asked, “Is Zyla awake since you came looking for me?”“Yes,” Ken nodded.“Okay. Take me to her.”With that, she dragged Ken off and walked away.Reluctant to give up, Dorothy gritted her teeth and grabbed Olivia’s hand. “I won’t go back to prison. You did not win.”Olivia shoved off D
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
