Did he mean what he said last night? Did he made TR apologize?However…Olivia still denied that possibility and said to Pitt, “Alright. I think those conditions are fine. I’ll leave this matter to you. If any of us need to show up, you can call Ms. Sutherland.”“What about you, Ms. James?”“I have some personal business and must return to my home country.”“I see. I’ll meet Ms. Sutherland tomorrow.”“Alright, goodbye.”After hanging up the call, Olivia briefly explained a few words to Jennie. Then, she remained silent as she pondered.Where the hell was John?It did not make sense. He did not look for her even until now.However, she did not want to find him, so she forced herself to forget it.Anyway, what could John do?After packing, Olivia suddenly remembered someone. She took out her phone and sent a message.[Mr. M, I’m sorry, but I may not be able to attend the dinner I was supposed to invite you to. But rest assured, I won’t forget about the offer.]Soon, the per
Olivia was reluctant to leave, but she tried to hold back her tears. Until she was on the plane, she could not control her tears from rolling down her cheeks.Four years of her new secure life had ended just like that.On her return, she knew that no matter what she said she was, Olivia or Phoebe, she would not be safe.Another wave was going to surge in Ocean City....Ocean City, International Airport.It was ten o’clock the following day when Olivia arrived.To avoid running into acquaintances, she covered herself with a hat, sunglasses, and a silk scarf wrapped around her neck.She walked to the door, stopped a taxi, put her luggage, and sat in it.Since she had not met Ken, she booked a hotel first.“Sir, please take me to Waterfront International Hotel.”“Alright.”However, after a while, Olivia felt as if something was wrong. Why did the driver’s voice sound familiar?She looked up suspiciously and observed him for a while until she noticed that Ken wore casual clot
“I won’t go up with you to avoid being recognized.”Olivia regained her composure and nodded. “Well, you should be careful. Don’t worry about dealing with Dorothy yet. We have to take things step by step.”“Don’t worry. I wouldn’t have waited for so long if it was just dealing with Dorothy. I want to make the Jameson family perish and leave Dorothy nowhere to hide.”The Jameson family…Speaking of the Jameson family, she thought of Mrs. Jameson, who was suffering from cancer, and wondered if she was okay.“What about Mrs. Jameson?”“I think she is in the hospital again. She has been going through chemotherapy for the last few years.”Olivia sighed. “She is the only person with a conscience in the Jameson family. Unfortunately, others are healthy, but she is not.”Ken disagreed. “Liv, don’t be deceived. There are no good people in the Jameson family.”Olivia said nothing more and took her suitcase off the car.Upstairs, in her room, she threw her luggage aside, took off all he
Seeing that they were malicious, Olivia's eyes darkened as she said coldly, "I'm a friend of Zyla's.""A friend?" The woman in red sneered. "You know the dirty things this b*tch has done, don't you?""What did you say?""What did I say? You should hear me clearly.""What did Zyla do to you that you would go to her grave and insult her?"Olivia clenched her fists, forcing herself to calm down and not lose her temper at Zyla's grave.However, the woman was so arrogant that her teeth tickled with anger.The woman laughed out loud when she saw her looking so mad. "You don't know? This b*tch has seduced someone's partner, causing him to abandon his wife, leave his career, and go abroad for many years. He won't even go home!"The more she said, the angrier she got, and the fiercer her tone. "That homewrecker wants to drag others down with her even after she dies. What a b*tch!"Irritated, Olivia snapped, "Shut up! I advise you to watch your mouth.""She's a homewrecker. She ruined
Maple Apartment.After taking a bath, Olivia climbed into bed. It was unknown whether it was due to jet lag, she did not feel sleepy after lying down for a long time.Just then, the phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was from Fred."What have you got?""Liv, one thing's for sure. Zac probably never left Ocean City.""You mean he disappeared before getting on the plane?""Yes, his phone signal was last located at Jennings Road."'Jennings Road?'Olivia pondered with a frown. They had to pass Jennings Road to get to the airport.In other words, Zac was kidnapped on the way to the airport.Olivia bit her lip. "Then I'll check the cameras near Jennings Road tomorrow.""Don't bother. I've found the footage and finished looking through it.""Huh?""Liv, have you forgotten what I do for a living?"Fred said proudly. "It's a piece of cake to me."Olivia remembered that he used to be a top hacker when she heard that.Then she chuckled. "I remember. I'm only afraid you'
'Someone close to him...'Olivia had no idea who it might be for a moment but thought it might have something to do with the Jameson family and Dorothy.Ten minutes later, Fred returned to the room, "Liv, I found it. You were right. It was hanging right around Barbie's neck when I went looking for it.""See if you can find Zac.""Okay, I'll do my best. Liv, stay safe. I'm worried about you being alone in Ocean City right now."With that said, Fred paused. "Why don't I ask Jennie to take care of Lyla, and I'll go to Ocean City to help you?""Fred, I'm relieved that Lyla is with you. Jennie has to take care of the atelier. She's too busy."Fred seemed to see through her and say, "Liv, you're unwilling to be honest with her. You don't trust her, or... are you afraid she'll get hurt for helping you?"Olivia looked out of the window. There was a long silence before she sighed. "Both."Jennie and Zyla were different.She was only a friend, a friend who started a business with her.
The next afternoon, Ken came to the apartment looking for Olivia."Liv, I found out some things about what you asked me to look into. It does seem to have something to do with the Jameson family."Ken changed his shoes and walked away, saying, "It looks like the Quinton family and the Jameson family had an engagement earlier. It was brought up again recently. Perhaps..."However, he noticed something wrong with Olivia's expression before he could finish.In particular, the look in his eyes was somewhat... cold."Liv, what's wrong?"Ken's first reaction was that something had happened to him, but he had no idea what it could be.Olivia pointed to the couch opposite her. "Sit."The more serious she was, the more she made Ken nervous.After sitting down, he asked cautiously, "What on earth happened?"Olivia put down her glass, gazed up at him, and said, "Ken, since when did you have a fiancée?"'A fiancée?'Ken froze for a long time.He pointed at himself. "Me? I have a fianc
Olivia frowned. It seemed Dorothy had something to do with this."Why didn't she refuse?""I don't know. The media said so. I don't know about the details. Zac never told me either."Olivia did not know what Dorothy was up to, but she was sure Zac would never agree to a marriage.It seemed that they should test Dorothy."Ken, help me get a ticket to Dorothy's party on Sunday.""Are you going?""Yeah, I'm back. I should meet my old friend, of course."Ken was worried. "Didn't you say discreetly? You're so prominent. If Dorothy targets you...""Do you think she'd target a dead person?"Olivia smiled mysteriously. There was no way she would be stupid enough to confront Dorothy face to face."I see. I'll arrange it for you.""Okay, thank you then. I've already had someone look into where Zac went missing."Olivia then repeated what Fred had said the night before, finally expressing that there was also a locator bracelet to see if it could be backtracked.Ken frowned. "You're
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
