‘School?’

Fred shuddered, and tears welled up in his eyes.

His life had been so bad that he could not even imagine the future. He had long forgotten about his studies.

Perhaps it was more accurate to say that he did not dare to think about it.

He was very grateful to Olivia. She had given him a new life, and now, she was actually saying that she would send him back to school.

This was a great honor, but…

He swallowed, pursed his lips, and said, “No, Sis Liv. There’s no need to waste money on me. My life...”

“Fred, no one can define your life.”

Fred stared at her blankly, a lump in his throat.

Olivia gave him another piece of meat and said slowly, “When I was young, I was the apple of my parent’s eyes, but my life didn’t go according to plan, did it?

“Until today, my life’s still not the life I thought it would be.

“But whether it’s good or bad, I don’t let it be defined by the moment.”

After that, she smiled. “Someone once told me that as long as I’m alive, there are infini

    Ken pushed the door open and repeated, “Zy, that’s our child.”Zyla froze. Then, she stepped back while shaking her head. “Impossible! Don’t lie to me. It can’t be yours!”That night, he was obviously with another woman, so how could this child be his?Impossible. Absolutely impossible!Olivia was even more stunned. She never imagined that this was what Ken had been keeping silent on all this time.She had thought about a lot of possibilities, and this was the only one she did not think about.“But didn’t Dorothy drug you that night? You and Zy...”If Zyla was unconscious at the time, how could Ken have been conscious?He took a deep breath, looked at the two, and said, “That night, after drinking that glass of wine, I felt like something was wrong, so I wanted to find a place to rest.“As I was looking around, I happened to see a man dragging Zy into the room, so I followed.“I saw that man acting inappropriate with Zy, but she didn’t respond at all, so I knew that something

    Olivia found Zyla in a small park nearby.In the cold wind, a thin figure sat on the swing, swinging half-heartedly.Back then, they often came here for a walk when the weather was good.Sometimes, at night, the two would come here to watch the stars and chat. This place had become their secret base.“Zy.”Olivia walked to Zyla’s side with her crutches. Because she was a little tired from walking, she leaned on the railing beside her and took a few breaths.When Zyla spotted her, she immediately stood up and wiped the sweat from Olivia’s forehead. “It’s late at night, and it’s tough for you to walk. What are you doing here?“What can I do if you fall or have a fever?”Olivia smiled and held her hand. “Zy, help me to the swing, okay?”Zyla had no choice but to help her over.“Sis Liv, are you trying to persuade me to keep this child?”Olivia shook her head. “No, it’s your right to decide whether to have the child or not. I just hope you won’t be impulsive.”Upon hearing this

    “Ladies, are you by yourselves?”A man sat down next to Olivia with a glass of wine. He stretched out his hand to play with her hair and said with a smile, “Why don’t you drink with us?”After he said that, another man also sat down.Olivia frowned slightly, and just when she was about to speak, she heard Zyla respond, “Okay, but I can drink a lot.”“It’s okay. I’ll pay for all your alcohol tonight. Just order whatever you want!”Zyla waved her hand and said, “Okay, ten whiskeys.”After a while, the waiter came over with ten glasses.“Let’s play a game. The loser will drink. How about that?”The man in a floral shirt sitting beside Zyla stared at her chest meaningfully, “Miss, what kind of game is it? It’ll be too boring if it’s something simple. How about something exciting?”“What do you mean?”“For example...” The man in the white shirt next to Olivia put his arms around Olivia’s shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and said with a grin, “An in-depth exploration of each ot

    Inside Dream, Olivia continued to drink as if no one was there, but after taking just another sip, John snatched her glass away.“You’re drinking before your injury has healed? Do you want to die?”Olivia slapped his hand away, picked up another glass of whiskey, and downed it.“Olivia!”John leaned over to hold her, but she pushed him away. “What are you doing? Don’t touch me.”John got angry and pushed all the alcohol on the table to the ground. “Olivia, stop drinking.”“Do you think you’re the boss of me?”Olivia looked up at him, curled her lips, and sneered. “What right do you have to control me? It’s so late. Why don’t you go back to accompany your lover? Be careful in case she gets angry.”At this moment, Olivia was a little drunk, and her head felt so heavy that it kept drooping.Seeing her head fall, John immediately put his hands on her face and sat beside her. He frowned and said, “If you can’t drink, why did you come to the bar?”“Leave me alone.”“If I don’t wor

    At that moment, John was still frozen to the spot as he had no idea if Olivia was drunk or sober.When he finally snapped back to his senses, she had since fallen asleep once more.He huffed a little sigh of relief as he laid her flat on her bed and tucked her in. After making sure that she was fast asleep, he finally got up, went outside, and lit himself a cigarette.When he was on his second cigarette, a high beam shone from afar. As the car came to a stop, Ken came out of the car with Zyla in his arms.After a while, Ken made his way beside John, gave him a light shove, and asked, “Got any more of that? Hit me up.”John passed a cigarette to Ken and asked, “I thought you quit?”“Yeah, I’m about to. This will be my last one.” Ken smiled and exhaled a ring of smoke. “I’m about to be a father. It’s about time I quit smoking.”Upon hearing the term ‘father’, there was a slight prick to John’s heart.He lowered his head, and his expression was unreadable.“There’s something I di

    Since that night at the pub, Ken would appear out of nowhere to send things like clothes, bags, and supplements over, and today, he had even brought his chef over from his home.After the meal was prepared, he sent the chef away and went to the room to look for Zyla.“Time to eat, Zy!”Zyla rolled her eyes at him. “Ken Lucas, make the meal yourself if you’re so great. Does it even count for anything if you didn’t make it yourself?”Lo and behold, the next day, Ken actually brought groceries with him and claimed he wanted to cook.However, though he might have skillful hands in the operating theatre, this young master of the house was not as skillful in the kitchen.In the end, Zyla could not bear to watch him any longer and chased him out of the kitchen.“Give me one more chance, please, Zy! I’ll learn how to cook properly for sure!”Zyla retorted exasperatedly. “I’m worried that you’ll poison my Sis Liv, so save it.”Ken was dejected. He lowered his head sadly as he walked to

    “Zy.”Zyla was just about to shut the door when she heard Olivia. She thought Olivia needed something, so she opened the door immediately once more. “What is it, Sis Liv? Are you feeling unwell?”Olivia shook her head and smiled. “No. I just wanna remind you to wear enough layers. It’s cold out there.”Zyla laughed. “I have my down jacket on! I won’t be cold. I’ll get going, then.”“Okay, sure!”The moment Zyla closed the door, the sense of unease Olivia had been feeling came back once more.Looking at the grey skies, Olivia tried to comfort herself. It must be from her not resting well enough last night. That was why she was feeling off.However, she could only sit in discomfort for the time being after that.Suddenly, her phone rang.She thought it was Zyla, so she answered it without even looking at the screen.However, before she could speak, she heard the voice that she hated the most.“The game is on, Olivia Larson.”Olivia’s smile froze. She snarked coldly, “What do

    When Fred arrived, Olivia had been staring at the picture for half an hour.In the picture, Ian was leaning against a wall with his eyes closed and his limbs tied up. He looked like he was in a really small area, just like the little black hut back then.There were no windows where he was, so Olivia could not see what was outside.Dorothy really did not want her to find Ian!In the meantime, she had tried calling Dorothy several times, but she had already switched off her phone.“Liv.”Fred knocked on the door. When he heard no response, he knocked even harder. “Liv?”Olivia snapped back to her senses immediately and staggered along to open the door.“What happened, Liv?”Fred had just asked that question when he saw how pale Olivia was and how red-rimmed her eyes were. “Y-you’re here.”Right after Olivia said that, she lost her balance and was about to fall. Fred caught her immediately.As he held onto Olivia’s arm, he could clearly feel that she was trembling. He was rea

    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.

    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
