John squinted his eyes and looked at Olivia with interest. “Are you jealous?”‘Jealous?’Olivia stared at him for a moment and laughed.She would have been jealous and miserable in the past, but now her mind was calm.If she felt anything, it was only disgust.“Mr. Freeman, what an interesting guess. There are so many men in this world. Why do I have to envy Dorothy for having one of them?”John’s expression turned gloomy. He grabbed Olivia’s wrist and pulled her into his embrace.“Olivia, stop speaking like that.”Olivia felt pain. She frowned and struggled. “John, do you dare to swear you know nothing about Dorothy drugging Zyla?”John froze upon hearing that.He knew from Wes about Zyla attempting suicide, and it seemed to have something to do with Dorothy. That was why he came.He knew nothing about anything else. Olivia was more annoyed seeing him remain silent. She shoved his hand away and said, “If you don’t know, you can ask Ken. He is your friend and a victim. He
The apartment.Dorothy had just entered the room when she heard someone knocking.Smug, she hummed a little song and opened the door.However, her expression stiffened when she saw who it was. "Johnny, what are you doing here?""It's my house. Can't I come?"Dorothy chuckled dryly. "I didn't mean that. I just thought you were..."Before she could finish, John looked at her coldly and asked maliciously, "Did you do that to Zyla?""Zyla?"Dorothy quickly took his arm and said coquettishly, "Johnny, even you are doubting me? You said you would believe me."John threw her hand away without hesitation, his body exuding a cold pressure."Don't challenge my patience. I've given you enough trust."Seeing his harsh attitude, Dorothy sat on the couch and began crying. "Johnny, you always do this. You questioned me for Olivia."If I hadn't lost a kidney to save you two years ago, I wouldn't be so weak now."I know that my love for you is my own business. I didn't ask you to reciproca
"Sis Liv, you don't have to watch me every day. You and that punk can hang out in the neighborhood during weekends."Olivia glanced at Zyla. "I'm even more worried because you're always trying to send me away. Ian probably has classes on weekends. He won't have much free time in Year 3."Zyla curled her lip. "Sis Liv, I mean it. I'm fine, and I won't do anything stupid again.""Let's dig in. The food is getting cold."Zyla sat helplessly while lowering her head.Olivia stole a glance at her and secretly shook her head.Whenever she closed her eyes at night, the image of Zyla lying in a bathtub full of blood woke her up.She was so scared.She was scared that Zyla would disappear from her side when she was not paying attention.She was not taking any chances.Suddenly, Zyla nudged her. "Sis Liv, that punk called."Olivia instantly came to herself, took her phone, walked to the balcony, and answered it."Ian?""You don't have to pick me up today.""Oh, okay. Do you have any
"I'll only give you an hour to come here alone, or I'm going to cripple one of Ian's arms right now."Although Olivia had her doubts, she could not risk Ian.After hanging up, she quickly called Ian.She called ten times, but his phone was turned off.Olivia panicked.She could only sneak Fred over to watch Zyla.When Fred arrived, he grabbed Olivia as she hurried outside. "Ms. Larson, where are you going?"Olivia's behavior seemed suspicious to Fred too, and he had no choice but to ask."Oh, I want to make Zyla a big meal, but I don't want her to know. Can you keep it a secret for me?"Seeing Olivia looking so sincere, Fred did not ask any more questions and nodded. "Okay, don't worry. Come back soon.""Yes. Thank you."After getting into the elevator, Olivia breathed a sigh of relief.For a moment, she was afraid that Fred would see through her.It would be bad if Zyla found out....Larson's Residence.There was nothing out of the ordinary in the courtyard, and she c
Dorothy knew Olivia believed her when she saw how pale her face was."Olivia, I'm so happy to see you so desperate. How great would it be if Johnny could see it too?"Olivia looked away from Dorothy, but tears streamed down her face.She did not cry when her leg was broken.However, she cried the moment she heard John try to kill her.She said she did not care, but when she heard that the man she had loved for 17 years had asked her enemy to kill her for him, she could not bear it any longer.Olivia thought she knew John well enough, but she was the loser after all.She had always been the inferior one in their relationship.Dorothy leaned over and pulled Olivia's hair. She said with a sneer, "You're a cripple now. Once I cut your face, don't think you'll be able to seduce men!"Dorothy believed John would never want Olivia again once Olivia became a cripple.Men were visual creatures. There was no way they would like an ugly woman.Therefore, she took a dagger from a man ne
When Ian saw that the man was about to violate Olivia, he screamed his lungs out."Liv! Olivia, wake up!"However, Olivia was in so much pain that she had no strength to fight back. She moved her right hand with her remaining strength and gestured toward Ian.'Don't be afraid.'Then she gave him a big smile and mouthed silently, 'Run when you can.'Ian froze in place.Dorothy said she was the Larson family's sinner, and he believed her.Therefore, he never thought of seeing her in the past two years.When they met, he hit her and called her names.Later, he hurt her repeatedly.He never trusted her, treating her like an enemy and refusing to call her "Liv".However, she never blamed him but cooked and sent him to and fro school with her ailing body.Now, she was dying as she tried to protect him. She even faced being defiled by strangers, but she still smiled to reassure him, not wanting him to worry."Liv..."Ian broke down in tears. Watching Olivia's body exposed gradua
John asked Wes to take Ian to the hospital and stayed behind.Looking at the unconscious man on the ground, he picked up a bucket nearby and poured cold water over him.The man instantly sat up from the floor, looked up into John's bloodthirsty eyes, and shuddered instantly. He frantically waved his hands and opened his mouth to beg for mercy.However, he did not say a word after opening his mouth for some time.John was in no mood to waste time with him. He held the dagger to his neck and whispered coldly, "Tell me who sent you? What are they after?"The man was scared, shaking his head desperately, but the only sound out of his mouth was "Uhh".John lost his patience and stabbed the man in the thigh, causing him to yell in pain.John frowned, grabbed the man's jaw, looked at his throat, and yelled, "F*ck. He's a mute."He was mostly focused on Olivia as the first stab went down, so he did not notice that the man's screams were hoarse.It seemed that the matter was not that s
Ken froze. He was silent for a moment before saying, "Dorothy spiked Zyla's drink that night."With that said, he turned to John and said, "She admitted it herself."Then he opened the door and went out.After knowing him for years, he believed it had nothing to do with John.However, Olivia's accusations and suspicions were not unfounded, so Ken was not going to defend John.John's expression was ghastly. If Dorothy did it, it was not surprising that Olivia hated him.However, he needed proof....Olivia had a dream.A dream of a happy reunion.There were Zyla and Ian. They went to the prairie together, where they rode horses and enjoyed the sunshine and the smell of the fresh grass.The laughter in her ears filled her with happiness.Then they went to a snow mountain.Zyla glided carefully across the snow, clutching her hand in fear and refusing to let go.Suddenly, she heard a loud noise.Before she knew it, the avalanche was in front of her.Zyla and Ian were scream
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
