Olivia only needed two minutes to figure out who the person behind the scenes was.No one else other than Dorothy Ellis!She looked at John and there was a little hope gleaming in her eyes. If Johnny knew all these were upon Dorothy’s orders, what would he do?After John had beaten Mr. Coal to the ground, he took a towel from Wes and wiped his hands. Then, he threw the towel onto Mr. Coal’s face and walked towards Olivia.He bent down, scooped her up in his arms, and carried her to the door. He stopped abruptly and turned to look at everyone else who was gobsmacked.“People that have seen what they’re not supposed to—gouge out their eyes!”Wes nodded. He turned and saw a blinking light. “Sir, someone was recording this.”“Smash it!”“Yes sir! I’ll also get to the bottom of this.”John did not respond. He carried Olivia and walked out. He placed her on the passenger seat and went over to the driver’s seat.Throughout the entire process, John did not speak another word, but the
“Yeah, Johnny, If I knew the consequences I had to bear, I would definitely not have saved Dorothy Ellis all those years ago.”Olivia tried to suppress the fire from within her, but as time went by, her stand was weakening.Her cheeks were flushed red, she was frowning as she reached out to remove John’s coat from her and lifted her hands to remove her tank top.“You look even more lowly now, Olivia Larson!”Her heart still ached, but her consciousness was fading, and her limbs would not respond…John looked coldly at her, carried her upstairs, and threw her into the bathtub. He faced the shower head towards Olivia and turned the cold water on.As cold water soaked her body, the heat from within her got instantly reduced. As she snapped back to her senses from all the haze, she lifted her head to see John’s malicious eyes.“Don’t go out if you have nothing better to do!”Olivia stared back at him longingly and said, “It’s mom’s death anniversary today.”John was taken aback. “
“I got beaten up.”“By who?”Olivia felt a trace of pain in her heart when she saw his shocked expression, she snorted. “You.”John looked at her coldly without saying anything, but his look seemed to have exposed his thoughts. ‘That’s a lie, have I ever beaten you before?’She endured the pain in the bottom of her heart and said, “Johnny, it’s not the first or second time you beat me up… Among these wounds, some were from you whereas the rest were from the people that you ordered to assault me.”Olivia did not know what to feel at that moment.Was it pain, despair, or resentment?It seemed to be all of them combined at the same time not.Ever since the miscarriage two years ago, she had been in a complicated state until now.He was the man who loved her more than himself for 17 years, the man who saved her life, and it was impossible for her to just let go of him as if it was nothing. Maybe she was indeed pathetic just like what he called her.John lifted her chin slightly a
“Nope, he was nice to me.”The person on the other side of the phone sighed. “Liv, if you really want the Larson’s Residence back, I can help you. 70 million is still affordable for The Quinton Group.” “It’s fine, Mr. Quinton…”Olivia licked her dry lips. “Anyone that comes near me will get bad luck, my parents, Uncle Wallace, your car crash, and even the nurse that defended me got fired.”“I know.”“You do? Were you the one who hired the nurse?”“Yeah, but I am afraid that this may burden you so I didn’t tell you.”There was a warm current coursing in Olivia’s heart, she assumed that no one in this world would care about her but to her surprise, there was still someone willing to help her. “Thank you.”“Liv, don’t thank me, I do share a part of the responsibility about your relationship with Johnny. If I was there two years ago, things wouldn’t have turned out this way, so I want to repay my debt.”‘Debt repayment?’Olivia chuckled upon hearing Zac’s reasoning.Even a vi
“Olivia Larson!”John yelled her name angrily.Probably because this had happened numerous times so she did not react much but looked at the two indifferently. “You want me to take care of her? Don’t even think about it.”“Don’t you want the Larson’s Residence?”Olivia snorted. “With this vicious mistress here, even if I kneel down and lick her toes, she will not give me the house.”That being said, she smiled at Dorothy. “Right, Dorothy?”Dorothy leaned in John’s arms and spoke weakly with her delicate voice, “Johnny, don’t be mad. It’s not Liv’s fault to hold prejudice against me, besides, I am invading someone else’s territory in the eyes of the people…”“Wow Dorothy, since when have you learned literature? I didn’t expect you to use such eloquent language.”“Olivia Larson!” Don’t be too much!” John finished yelling at Olivia and then spoke to Dorothy gently, “This is your home, no one can say anything about it!”Olivia’s heart was instantly torn apart upon hearing these
A mouthful of blood gushed into her mouth and she immediately ran into the bathroom to spit it out.She lowered her head and realized that the blood she spat out this time was not scarlet red as usual but pitch black. She opened the water tap and washed the blood away then wiped off the remaining blood on the corner of her mouth. Even if the downpour did not exist, she would most probably become depressed and upset upon seeing the two and end up vomiting blood to death. Olivia took a painkiller right after and tossed the bottle into her bag to take with her. She could not bring herself to stay here anymore.Yet, she ended up running into John just as she reached the door.The man stood in front of her with a deterrent force and gazed at her coldly. “Where are you going?”“None of your business.”John grabbed her wrist. “How can I not care when you are my wife?”She raised her head and looked at him fearlessly despite being in despair. “Johnny, do you still remember that I
“Watch out!”That being said, a figure dashed over and rolled to the side of the road with Olivia in their arms. Followed by a sharp noise of brakes screeching, the truck driver stuck his head out of the window and yelled, “Are you blind?!” Olivia looked over to finally realize who saved her and she widened her eyes in disbelief. “It’s you?”She was not injured but unfortunately, the one who saved her scratched her right arm and it was bleeding. “Oh dear, you are bleeding, let’s go to the hospital.”That person stopped her. “It’s fine Ms. Larson. I’m a nurse myself and I have the medical supplies to treat my wounds.”“No, but…”Before Olivia finished speaking, the other person had already wrapped her wound with the handkerchief she took out from her bag.“I’m fine, really.”Olivia quickly helped her up and pointed at her car. “Get in, I’ll send you home.”This time, Zyla did not refuse and went into the passenger seat. Before getting into the car, O
The two went upstairs right after they reached Golden Hills Apartment. The house was quite spacious and it was a duplex apartment.“Sis Liv, this apartment is an incentive provided by Mr. Quinton, looks good right?”Olivia nodded. “Indeed, where’s the first aid kit?”Zyla pointed at the cabinet. “The second drawer.”“Alright, take a seat, I'll go get it.”Zyla sat on the sofa obediently and immediately smiled upon seeing Olivia bringing the first aid kit over as if she was in a very good mood. Olivia felt a little strange. “Why are you so happy? You are bleeding.”“I guess it’s because you are too beautiful, Sis Liv.”Olivia was amused. She took off the handkerchief from her arm and then took the bottle of iodine. “What a sweet talker, I shall treat you with some iodine then.”“Sis Liv, please be gentle…ouch…it hurts…”“Thought you didn’t know.”Although Olivia did not study medicine, her hands were notoriously deft, if not, Dorothy would not have been so jealous to the e
