Rainie looked at Zac in horror and swallowed. “I-I didn’t. You... There’s been a misunderstanding.”“You didn’t? A misunderstanding?” Zac squinted his eyes, and his voice was cold. “Rainie Jameson, you know what will happen if you lie.”“Z-Zac, it’s not like what you see. Really…”“Are you testing my patience? Too bad. I’m not a patient man.”Then, a cracking sound came from the car park, followed by Rainie’s scream.“Can you be honest now?”Rainie’s body shuddered in fear, and the pain made her break out in a sweat. She lifted her head and looked at Zac in disbelief and fear.She felt like the man in front of her was not the man she knew.Zac was always gentle and friendly, unlike John, who was cold and ruthless. However, he looked just like John now.“It’s…”Before Rainie could finish her words, a man rushed over with a knife, stabbing it in Zac’s direction.Zac let go of Rainie and grabbed the knife. His hand was wounded, and blood dripped out of his clenched fist.As th
When Zac walked out of the hospital, he called Wilbur.“Pick two things about the Jameson family and post about them. Make sure they start to trend.” “Okay.”“Then, report the Jameson family anonymously to the Ministry of Auditing and Inspection and say that you suspect them of tax evasion.”Wilbur was startled. “Mr. Quinton, are you sure you want to do that?”“Of course. And I won’t stop there. I also want to sue Rainie Jameson for attempted murder.”After hanging up the call, Zac drove to the Jameson family.When the butler of the Jameson family saw him, he was stunned for a moment and smiled as he greeted him. “Mr. Quinton, what brings you here? I’ll inform Mr. Jameson that you’re here.”Zac shook his head. “I’ll go see him now.”The butler did not dare to say anything as Zac might be his future master, so he led him into the house.Gordon was in his study, making calls as he frowned.John wanted him to look for Rainie and had told him that Freeman Group would halt one c
After Zac left, Rainie dialed Dorothy’s number in panic.However, she called more than ten times, yet it did not go through.A chill ran down her spine.Even Zac wanted to kill her. She was doomed. Who else could help her now?‘John or Mom?’However, because of the news today, Mrs. Jameson had asked her for an explanation and refused to answer her calls later that day.Rainie wondered if she would have to look for John.He did not like Olivia, so he might help her.However, she did not have John’s contact.Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Rainie limped back to the villa. She might have a chance to live if she asked for her Daddy’s help.Once she got into the house, she fell to the ground with her hand on her painful arm. “Daddy, help me.”When Gordon saw her, his expression turned gloomy as he beckoned. “Seize her! Send her away!”‘What?’“Daddy, why are you sending me away? My arm is dislocated…”However, Gordon only glared at her. “Serves you right! Take her away!”
Olivia blinked her eyes, puzzled, and was about to answer when Mrs. Jameson came rushing in, panting as she pounced onto Olivia’s bed.“Liv, please save Rainie!”Olivia was startled and instinctively hugged Zyla.“What happened to Rainie?”“She was beaten, taken to the police, and now, she’s probably going to jail.“I went to visit her in the police station, and she was covered in blood, looking like she was about to die.“Liv, please help her. Someone framed her!”Olivia was slightly shocked.She had no idea how much had happened while she was asleep.However,…“Sorry. There’s nothing I can do.”“Liv.” Mrs. Jameson held her hand and wept as she said, “I’m sure you can do something.”Olivia’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Mrs. Jameson begging her. She frowned and shook her head. “Mrs. Jameson, I just woke up. What can I do?”She was about to pull her arm away, but Mrs. Jameson’s grip grew tighter.Zac could not stand it anymore and pulled Mrs. Jameson away. “Mrs. Jame
Olivia finally turned around and looked at John when he flared up.However, her gaze upon him looked distant and puzzled. “Parson me, sir. Do we know each other?”Everyone in the room froze upon hearing that.‘Did she lose her memory?’Zyla was surprised. “Sis Liv, you really don’t remember him?”Olivia shook her head innocently. “Should I remember him?”A trace of joy flashed across Zyla’s face.Forgetting John meant she had forgotten her painful memories. That was something incredible.However, John seemed displeased and lifted her chin to look into her eyes.“Olivia, are you pretending to have amnesia?”Although he remembered Ken telling him that the potential side effect of a concussion was amnesia, she remembered everyone else, including Mrs. Jameson. The only person she had forgotten was him.He refused to believe it.Olivia frowned. “Sir, I don’t know you.”After a few seconds of silence, John looked disappointed and said coldly, “I’m your husband.”“Husband?”Oli
To avoid John seeing through her act, she intentionally asked Ian about his school and life.Ian approached and observed her. “Last time, you cooked a delicious beef salad. When will you cook it for me again?”“Last time?” Olivia pretended not to remember and held his hand excitedly. “Ian, the last time I made you the beef salad was two years ago. Do you still remember that?”Ian quickly pulled away his hand doubtfully. “I’m talking about last month. It’s alright if you don’t want to make me that again.”“Of course I do,” With tears in her eyes, Olivia forced a smile and said, “I’ll cook for you whenever you want to eat.”“You really don’t remember?”Ian pointed at John. “Last month, you went to see me at the Larson’s residence. John was there too.”‘Oh. They were testing her memory.’Olivia shook her head. “I don’t know him. Do you live with him? Has he looked after you for two years?”With that, she looked at John and smiled. “Thank you for taking care of Ian.”That smile m
After dropping Ian off, John got frustrated and drove to The King's Club.John was tipsy when Ken pushed the door open and walked in.Watching him downing drink after drink, Ken snapped, "If you have time for a drink, you might as well get therapy.""So what if I remember? She forgot."With that said, John pushed the glass to Ken, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "She remembers all of you except me. Is she pretending?""Not necessarily. The human brain forgets selectively. She'll forget the person who hurts her the most."'The person who hurt her the most...'John threw his head back as he took a swig of wine. Then he lit a cigarette and immersed himself in the thick smoke.After a long silence, he said hoarsely, "What about the person you love the most? Will she forget?"The first love she loved for 17 years.The thought of Aaron filled him with anger, and he put out his cigarette.'She likes Aaron so much.'Alright, I'm gonna ruin the Summers family!'Ken looked on with mix
'Start over?'Olivia covered her mouth and cried silently.Why? The man was always like this. Once he got drunk, it was as if nothing had happened.They could not go back.She hated John for his ruthlessness, stupidity, indifference, and imprisoning her.He once said he refused to divorce just so he could keep her around and torture her repeatedly.It was never for love.'Start over? Is he trying to fool me again?'But Johnny, I won't fall for it this time.'"Liv?"The sound of his voice on the other end of the phone made Olivia's heart shudder with pain.Fighting back the tears, she bit her lip and said, "Mr. Freeman, since I've forgotten, we might as well end things here."Once she finished, she heard heavy breathing on the other end of the line.After a while, John said coldly, "No. No, Liv. We can't end things."Olivia's breathing paused, and her lungs hurt."Mr. Freeman, we didn't have a good past. Why continue?"He said through gritted teeth, "Olivia, are you tryi
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
