“John, calm down.”“Calm down?”John sneered and said, “You’re asking me to watch my daughter call another man her father. How can I be calm?”Olivia was so nervous that her nails were digging into her palm. She could not let anything happen to the wedding. She could not.Jimmy had definitely arrived, so if he found out about this, Zac would suffer badly judging from the situation he was already in.“John…” Olivia took a deep breath and gritted her teeth. “I told you she’s not your daughter.”“Olivia, your acting is so horrible when you’re lying.”She knew it would be hard for her to lie to John.Now that they were at this stage, she could only throw caution to the wind. She snapped, “Didn’t you always say I had an affair with someone four years ago? So how can the child be yours?”John’s eyes darkened when he heard that. His long and cold finger grabbed her chin as he roared, “Olivia, bring her to see me. I’ll find out if she’s my daughter after I run a test.”‘Run a test…
Olivia looked out and whispered, “I don’t want people to know who I am. You’ve got to keep this secret for me, or I’ll never let you see Lyla.”John was stunned. His depthless eyes stare coldly at her.When did this woman learn how to threaten people?Olivia saw that he had no reaction, so she spoke again. “If you agree, nod. If you don’t agree, shake your head.”She could not let anything happen to Lyla and Zac, and she could not let Aaron learn about her true identity.If he did, he would definitely tell Dorothy, which would mean more trouble.At least she could still continue her act now.Olivia heard voices approaching, and she was anxious. She frowned and said, “Do you agree or not?”After a while, John nodded.However, she did not release her hand immediately but glared at him hostilely. “John Freeman, you’d better not lie to me about what you’ve promised, or I don’t know what crazy thing I’ll do!”After hearing what Olivia said, John’s heart began to ache dully.This
In between the seconds, Olivia saw Zac sitting in his wheelchair in front, smiling as he waited for her.She felt like she was in a daze when the light shone in her eyes. Zac became John, causing her expression to change.She never thought she would get married again for the second time, even if it was fake.Suddenly, she saw Dorothy, who was sitting at the side, looking incredulously at her with a tinge of fear in her eyes.She was quick to snap back into her senses. She pinched her thighs to make sure she was mentally present.She could not afford to mess things up.Quickly, she made her way before Zac, and after Jennie had placed her hand into his, she walked to the side.Zac and Olivia looked at each other and shared a smile.“Pheebs, thank you for still marrying me despite the odds and in such circumstances. I promise to not let go of your hand ever for the rest of my days.”Olivia pursed her lips as she held Zac’s hand tightly. “I will do the same. I will never let go, a
Ken quickly went up to stop the paparazzo. “Please leave. This is a wedding. It’s not a place where you can do whatever you want.”“Mr. Lucas, you should know all the details, right? Why don’t you tell us some?”Ken was about to open his mouth when Olivia yanked him back.Facing the paparazzi, Olivia took a deep breath and spoke slowly. “Firstly, my husband is not crippled, and he is not deaf. I don’t know where you got your news, but I can tell you right now that what you know is wrong.“Also, we suspect that the accident my husband was in was orchestrated, and we’ve already gone to the police.”As she spoke, Olivia glanced at Jimmy and Dorothy before focusing her gaze back on the paparazzi.“Secondly, I understand that you’re all curious about Zac’s and my story. Truth be told, it was precisely because I looked like Olivia Larson that I was given a chance to get to know Zac.“Frankly, I should be thanking Ms. Olivia Larson. If it was not for her, I probably would have never me
Zac and Olivia looked at each other, but they were frozen to the spot.Zac did not dare to. He was afraid that Olivia would be mad.However, she did not want others to be suspicious, and since she thought that she should fully commit to the act, she did not even think twice before kissing Zac on the cheek with a swift bend of her head.The couple looked really happy on stage, but there were six people in the audience that had odd expressions on their faces.Zac brought Olivia off-stage to the changing room after that, and it was only then that they took a break.Seeing how no one came after then, Olivia was quick to get up off Zac and asked caringly, “Do your legs hurt?”He shook his head. “No.”“It was a little out of the blue. I hope you don’t mind.”He was a little stunned. It took him a while to understand what Olivia was talking about. Then, he laughed gently. “I was the one that took advantage of you. Why would I mind that?”As soon as he finished, he took the hearing ai
“Liv, you don’t recognize me anymore?”Olivia frowned and asked, “Should I recognize you, sir?”“Oh, it’s you!” Jennie pointed to Aaron and said, “This is the person who was looking for you right after the ceremony.”Right after she was done, she looked at Aaron coldly and said, “Didn't I already ask you to leave? Why are you still here? Pheebs really don’t know you.”However, Aaron refused to leave. “Liv, I know it’s you. I don’t believe that there can be two people in the world that look completely the same yet are complete strangers.”“Hey, are you done? Why can’t it be possible?”Jennie was getting frustrated. “Have you seen every single person in the entire world? Why did you have to call Pheebs ‘Liv’? I’m telling you right now: Pheebs is Pheebs! That’s all. She isn’t anyone else!”Right after that, she escorted Olivia out, brushing past Aaron.“This man is so annoying. I already told him that you’re not Liv. How dare he still come here? I really should’ve called security
Olivia knew that Dorothy was deliberately trying to disgust her with her words.‘Besides, does she even know what is wrong and what is right? Does she know about being ethical?’ “I heard that Ms. Larson’s husband cheated on her with her best friend. Is that true?”Dorothy’s facial expression changed, and she sounded colder. “Where did you hear that?”Olivia took half a step back. “Ms. Jameson, why are you having such a violent reaction? Are you the mistress?”“What did you say?”Dorothy was instantly pissed. She grabbed the glass of wine and splashed it on Olivia’s dress. She then pretended to be caring and dragged her out. “Your dress is wet. Let me bring you somewhere to change.”Olivia broke free from her grip and massaged her wrist as if she was hurt. Then, she raised her voice. “Ms. Jameson, what are you doing? Even if you’re mad about Zac choosing me, you don’t have to do this to me, right?”After she said that, the guests around them looked over, and Dorothy was embarra
In the banquet hall.Jimmy and Dorothy stood by the corner, and he passed her a glass of wine. “Why are you so worked up?”“Shouldn’t I be mad?” Dorothy took the glass and sneered. “I don’t mind calling off the engagement, but how could he find a woman that looks exactly the same as that b*tch? Is he trying to disgust me?”“I can’t control Zac’s ideas.”Dorothy glared at him. “You’re his father. You’re just pampering him.”Hearing this, Jimmy smiled briefly. “Do you really want to marry into the Quinton family?”“Your family set the engagement up. I didn’t beg for it.”“The Quinton family has more than just Zac. You can consider my second son if you’re willing.”“Second son?”Dorothy looked at him in shock. “Don’t you only have one son?”Jimmy looked at her mockingly. “Who told you that? He is helping me in Quinton Group, but he has been low-profile. If you really want to be a Mrs. Quinton, I believe he is more suitable than Zac.”Dorothy did not buy it. “Well, isn’t he an
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
