Jimmy had an unpleasant look on his face.He was already pissed that this happened during the marriage between the Quinton and Jameson family.However, Olivia insisted on catching the thief in front of all the attendees. Would they not become everyone’s laughingstock?He valued prestige so much, so how could he endure this?However, before he could reject it, Dorothy said, “Dad, I think Phoebe is right. No matter what, we should show everyone so that they won’t be anxious.”Dorothy had made up her mind to embarrass Olivia in public. So, Olivia’s suggestion was right up her alley.Jimmy looked at Dorothy and nodded. “Fine, Dolly is right. We shouldn’t make everyone worry.”Then, he turned to say to his assistant, “Get me the security footage.”The assistant retrieved a tablet. “Mr. Quinton, it’s here. However, someone tampered with the video so we can’t see who took it.”“Where was Phoebe when this happened?”“Mr. Quinton, we can’t find her anywhere in the video.”Upon hearin
When Jimmy saw who it was, he narrowed his eyes. “Mr. Freeman, this is between our family. Please don’t interfere.”“Family?” John smirked coldly. “You invited us to the wedding and now you’re locking us up like we’re thieves. Can’t we interfere?”Dorothy quickly said, “Johnny, Dad didn’t mean that. We’re trying to prove Phoebe’s innocence. She chose this herself too.“If you need to leave, you can leave. Dad won’t suspect you.”Jimmy nodded and grunted a reply.He did not mind this kind of battlefield.Now, Jimmy was a little bothered that he heard John making up with Zac.If he could drive a wedge between those two, it might be a good thing.Dorothy had a pretty complicated relationship with John. If he could make things hard for the Jameson family, it would be easier for him to join them.Jimmy said, “Mr. Freeman, if you think it’s unfair, you can search Phoebe. Zac and you are friends, so I think your words carry a certain weight.”Olivia’s eyes widened when she heard tha
The scene was very awkward, and Jimmy’s expression looked very upset.Initially, he wanted to use this opportunity to kick Zac and Phoebe out of the family, but after this, he was even more embarrassed. It was impossible to stop halfway now.Dorothy wanted to say something but Olivia was one step ahead of her.“Dad, that’s all I will say. I just want to tell you that I didn’t steal the necklace and I didn’t even see it.”Then, she looked at Dorothy. “I don’t know why you’re accusing me like this, but I didn’t do it, so I won’t admit to it.”Since it had escalated to this point, Jimmy knew he had to end this right now and stop pestering them.He patted Olivia’s shoulder. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t suspect you without any evidence. I believe that you didn’t steal it and that it was someone else.”“Thank you, Dad.”At this moment, Ken pushed Zac over.“Dad, are you all looking for this?”After Zac said that, he held out a diamond necklace.When Jimmy saw it, he nodded. “Yes, whe
Dorothy’s nagging caused a fire to ignite inside Jimmy. However, he could not say anything.“Dolly, that’s enough. This is your wedding, and it’ll look bad if you continue to make a fuss.”“Look bad?”Dorothy started to cry again. She looked at Jimmy, then tugged at Gordon’s arm. “Dad, does your daughter not deserve to be proven innocent too?”Gordon patted her hand and looked at Jimmy. “Mr. Quinton, Dolly has not yet moved into your house, and she has already been unfairly treated. Won’t she get bullied even more once she moves in?”Then, he pointed at Olivia. “She shed a few tears, and you believe she’s innocent, but what about my daughter? Should she get framed because she doesn’t know how to cry?”Olivia finally knew where Dorothy got her talent for twisting the truth after she heard that.She inherited it!“Mr. Jameson.” Olivia lifted her head. “How am I comparable to your daughter when it comes to pretending to be aggrieved?”“You! Shut up! You don’t get to speak now! Yo
Olivia pushed Zac and came before Jimmy. She passed him the necklace and said, “Keep the necklace safe, dad.”Jimmy’s fingers were slightly trembling and it took him a while to finally receive it. He did not say anything else and was about to turn and leave.“Dad.”Zac called out to him once more. “One more thing.”He waved his hand and Wes brought the waiter with him and walked towards them.“He is a very important witness to this entire thing, and you should be the one to handle all things related to Quinton Group, Dad, so I’ll leave him for you to decide what to do with him. Can I do that?”Then, Zac looked at John and said, “Johnny, your subordinates were the ones who had found this man, so by right, I should ask you this. Do you have any thoughts?”John glanced faintly at Zac and said, “I’m fine.”Zac looked at Jimmy again and said, “Dad, I think Fabian and Ms. Jameson need a conclusion.”With things the way they were right now, even if Jimmy wanted to reject them, he cou
“Liv, how you’re so willing to give everything up right now scares me.”Ken advised softly. “We’re with you. You’re not alone in the fight, so don’t push yourself too much.”Olivia did not reply to him.“John, advise her! It’s really dangerous for her to think this way.”John glanced at Olivia and said, “Don’t forget about Lyla, Sam, and your brother.”When Olivia heard the names of those three, her body shook. She turned around and smiled. “It’s not like I’m going to receive a death sentence. Do you guys have to be so anxious about it?”Ken knew how adamant she was since he was the same as well, so he did not say anything more and merely sighed.After a short while, Ken and Zac got asked by others to follow them, leaving Olivia alone with John.The atmosphere was a little tense, and a little solemn, it was like both of them were just waiting for each other to start talking.“Thanks for just now.”Olivia broke the silence.“Are you genuinely thanking me?”“Of course. If it
The lights were not on inside the lounge, and only the sounds of clothes being removed and suppressed, heavy breathing could be heard. Suddenly, the lounge door was busted wide open, and the lights were turned on, shining on the two people who were on the couch.“Ahhh!”The woman on the couch was startled. She did not have time to put her clothes back on, so all she could do was hide in the embrace of the man.“Cheating, unfaithful scumbags! How dare you fool around at my wedding?”Dorothy barged in with a troop of people and barked, “Separate them! I want to see who in the world these brave people are!”She snickered in her heart. “You pretend to be so pure, elegant, out of reach, but that’s just it, a fake!”She would love to see how Phoebe the b*tch would defend herself now!Finally, that woman’s life was over!Just when Dorothy got close enough to the people on the couch to see their faces, she was stunned and stopped dead in her tracks.How could it be them?The two of
The more Dorothy thought about it, the angrier she got. She saw the both of them drinking the glasses of wine and entering the lounge together with her own eyes. It was impossible for them to sneak someone else in.Of all people, it had to be Mrs. Clarins and Aaron Summers inside the lounge.This was clearly a ploy against her.They must still be in the room.At this time, Dorothy was so angry she lost her mind and no longer cared.She circled the lounge and opened all the cabinets to take a look.They were nowhere to be found.In a rage, Dorothy pushed the nightlight down from the bedstand.That b*tch! How did she manage to get away?Just as she was about to go out to look for Olivia, Gordon yanked her back violently.“Are you done, Dorothy Jameson?”Gordon had gotten so angry his voice was laced with a growl.Dorothy was stunned. She looked up and was met with Gordon’s eyes that were staring daggers at her, and her heart could not help but tremble. “Daddy…”“Do you still
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
