The caretaker happened to return after buying ravioli. Seeing Zac, she said with a smile, "Sir, are you here to see Ms. Larson?""Shh."Zac quickly stopped her and said, "Don't tell her. Take good care of her. I gotta go."Puzzled, the caretaker nodded. "Okay."Olivia drank the soup, checked the time, and glanced at the caretaker, who had been sitting next to her. She was worried.She had no idea who hired the caretaker. If it was John, would the caretaker give away her whereabouts?She had to find a way to trick her into leaving."Am I the only one you're taking care of?"The girl froze slightly. "Yes, just you, Ms. Larson.""You must be tired of taking care of me these days. I've woken up today. You should go back. Have a good night's rest and come back tomorrow morning."However, the caretaker shook her head and walked up to her with bright eyes staring at her. "Ms. Larson, did I do something wrong?""No... No."Olivia was surprised and thought she had figured out someth
"Don't touch Uncle Wallace's body. He's dead. What more do you want?"The man smiled lewdly and touched Olivia's cheek. "Spend the night with me, and I'll give you the old man's body. What do you think?""F*ck off!"Olivia looked away and flung his hand away. "Don't try to threaten me with such dirty tricks!"Undaunted, the man grabbed Olivia's hands and pressed them over her head to the bed. He said with a sneer, "Isn't that old man important to you?""What's the matter? Unwilling to give yourself away? Your husband doesn't love you anymore. He thinks we're guilty anyway. Why resist me?"Olivia bit her lip and tried to resist, but she was too weak, and he was too strong. She could not struggle free.Uncle Wallace was important, and it was true that John did not believe her. However, she could not give herself away. It was her last dignity!Finally..."Stop struggling. You can’t resist me."Don't worry. I will be very gentle. I promise you won't regret it. It's just a deal. W
Olivia wanted to move too, but her legs were numb, so she stayed in the position.Suddenly, a hand grabbed her head and lifted her from the bed. "Are you afraid to answer? Olivia, why are you so cheap? Can't you stand being alone for a day?""I was forced...""Forced? You seemed to be enjoying yourself. How were you forced?"John's mockery made Olivia's heart ache. 'Can't he see how messy the place is?'He was fooled after all."I was forced."She repeated.John got angrier and squeezed harder. His other hand gripped her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.Their eyes met, and Olivia shuddered."Olivia, you forced me to do this!"'Forced? Yes, I forced him.'Olivia had no idea where she got the courage. She punched John in the chest repeatedly, crying and yelling."What the h*ll do you know? John, you're braindead! I have nothing to do with the man. Not two years ago, and not now. Anyone can see it!"John froze. She was different. Before, she would only cry and beg h
Olivia felt ridiculous after asking.Their relationship was nearly over. It was pointless to ask if he had loved her before.Why did it matter if he had ever loved her? Olivia scoffed. “You said you would give up your own life to protect me. You said you would make me the happiest woman in the world.”She looked at him. “But look at our life now, Johnny…“These past two years, you have felt nothing but hate and suspicion for me. Everything I do is wrong. Everything I do makes you angry.”Olivia was not the kind of person who would go all in just because of love. She would not cling to a man just because she still loved him.That was why she wanted freedom. However, John refused to set her free. She was being forced to waste her time with him.John looked at her. For some reason, he suddenly noticed that the glow in her eyes was gone.“Olivia, you don’t deserve it.”‘Don’t deserve it?’Olivia bit the back of her hand, trying to stop herself from shedding tears. She smiled bi
“Dorothy, he promised me that too. You’ll end up like me one day, so don’t bother putting on an act in front of me.”“Olivia!”John shouted, “How dare you accuse her! I wouldn’t have spared your life if Dorothy didn’t ask me to.”“Johnny, don’t do this…”John touched Dorothy’s head gently. “How is your wound? Is it healing?”Dorothy leaned into his arms and nodded. “Well, if you spend more time with me, I’m sure I’ll get better faster.”“Dolly, keep an eye on Olivia, and don’t let her leave this room.”Dorothy was stunned. Then, she frowned and tried to convince John otherwise. “Johnny, you… but Liv needs to eat.”“Heh. You decide what she eats.”With that, John hugged Dorothy and cast a cold glance at Olivia, who was on the ground. Then, he closed the door coldly.Sitting on the ground, Olivia smiled wryly as she listened to their affectionate conversation outside the door.She could not defeat him.All because she was still in love with him.Her lungs ached as she coughe
Olivia’s voice was not loud, but Dorothy heard it clearly.As far as Dorothy was concerned, Olivia was nothing but a toy they were keeping captive, so she had no right to speak to Dorothy like this.“Olivia, don’t forget that Johnny asked me to take care of your food and drink. Are you planning on starving to death?”Olivia did not bother to argue with Dorothy. She buried her head under the quilt.Dorothy could not hear what was happening inside Olivia’s room and was annoyed. She laughed and said, “Don’t you wonder where I threw Uncle Wallace’s body?“That old man should be blamed for being a busybody. Of course I made him die a miserable death. I’ve thrown him into the sea. The fish might’ve already eaten him up. Are you surprised to hear that?“As for the case, I got rid of it. All the evidence you wanted is gone. Does that annoy you?”Olivia clung to the quilt, clenching her teeth to suppress the anger in her.She swore she would not let Dorothy go.As long as she was still
Dorothy sneered. “Olivia, I was kind enough to call you to come eat. Don’t be ungrateful!”“Open the door, then. Why are you still keeping the door locked? You’re such a hypocrite!”“Oh, Olivia, entertain me if you want to eat. Well, why don’t you bark a few times? When I’m satisfied, I’ll open the door for you to eat.”Dorothy grinned. She would make Olivia feel humiliated.However, she heard Olivia’s cold voice saying, “Bark like a dog? In your dreams, Dorothy!”Frustrated, Dorothy tapped on the door and threatened her. “Don’t take advantage of the situation. I won’t give you any more food if you don’t eat now. You can complain to Johnny about it if you can.”Complain?Olivia smiled wryly and shook her head. John would only beat her again if she complained to him about Dorothy.Her body could not bear such brutal abuse anymore. She would rather wait in the room until John’s anger subsided and not cause another conflict.She got up to open the window, but it seemed to be seal
Dorothy cautiously said, “Johnny, you locked the door from the outside.”John looked at her coldly upon hearing that. “Didn’t you give her food to eat? You locked it again?”Dorothy was startled by the look in his eyes. She lowered her head and said, “I-I was afraid you’d blame me for letting her go. I didn’t dare to…”“Forget it.”John did not bother to listen to her explanation. He kept banging on the door, louder and louder each time. “Olivia, are you waiting for me to kick the door down?”However, he received no response from Olivia.Dorothy suddenly fell into his arms when John wanted to kick the door down.“What’s the matter?”“Head… My head…hurts…”John looked at the door and then at Dorothy. “I’ll help you get back to your room.”“Sorry... Johnny.”John noticed Dorothy’s painful expression and felt sorry for her. He spoke gently. “I’m sorry for being harsh just now. Rest well. I’ll call the doctor.”Dorothy tugged his arm carefully. “Johnny, don’t fight with Liv. Le
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
