John nodded.How could he forget?He made such a bad decision that he almost killed Olivia.If Wes had not called Zac for a blood transfusion, she would probably...His hand trembled at the thought.He could never... make up for the mistakes he made in the past.However, Olivia did not continue dwelling on the incident but asked, "Did you believe Dorothy when she said she stabbed me to protect herself because I stabbed her in the leg?"She looked up at John once she finished asking."I don't believe it now.""No, I asked if you believed it at the time."John looked blankly at her, speechless, but his hands shook harder.Sorry, regret, and pain filled his heart. He did not remember what he was thinking at the time. He only thought Dorothy could not die and Olivia could not have it easy. He did not think about whether Dorothy's words were true.Olivia glanced at him and raised her hand to take his."Calm down. I'm not trying to give you a hard time. I'm only curious if you
"Who?"Dorothy looked at Fabian and said, "Zac!"Upon hearing the name, Fabian scoffed and said, "Dorothy, are you out of your mind? After all the times you gave trouble to Zac and Phoebe, do you expect Zac to donate his blood to save you? Stop dreaming!""Beg them!"Fabian's expression changed instantly. "What did you say? You asked me to beg them?""Yes, he's your brother. He should save me no matter what. Otherwise, let the media expose him for not caring about his family!"The corners of Fabian's mouth twitched. He only found Dorothy to be a lunatic—an ignorant lunatic.Seeing that he was unswayed, Dorothy said again, "Fabian, this is your chance to take him down. What are you waiting for?""I can take him down if he doesn't give you a blood transfusion. But if he did, not only can I not take him down, but I have to give him the position! Do you take me for a fool?"Dorothy got furious. "Fabian, what do you mean? Are you going to do nothing? The Jameson family...""Bah, f
"Injured Mrs. Quinton?"The secretary nearby asked, "Are they talking about Mr. Fabian's wife?"Olivia came to herself when she heard this. "What's wrong with my sister-in-law?""She was stabbed in the thigh and lost a lot of blood, but there's not enough blood in the blood bank, so..."The secretary looked at Ken. "What now, Dr. Lucas?"Instead of answering, Ken looked at Olivia and asked, "What do you think?"Seeing that he was a little disinterested, the secretary advised, "Dr. Lucas, she's a member of the Quinton family and the heiress of the Jameson family. They will make a scene if anything happens to her in our hospital. When the time comes...""The Quinton family will stay out of this."The three looked over and saw Zac wheeling his wheelchair up to them."If the Jameson family wants to get involved, I can help you with the lawsuit."However, the secretary still seemed worried about the hospital's reputation. "Mr. Quinton, Mr. Fabian's wife is looking for you. She wan
Olivia did not like to express her emotions.Most of the time, she kept everything to herself and tried to handle it alone.However, she blew up this time.Zac knew Dorothy had touched a sore spot and forced her temper out."Ken, how are Lyla and Sam?""They're still unconscious and haven't woken up. The doctor said they might die if we sent them there a little later."Zac sighed. "And Fred?""He's unconscious too. He probably has to be hospitalized for a month."Ken turned to look at him. "I don't know what happened between you and Liv, but she's been exhausted for a while, so try your best to take care of her. Stop causing her trouble.""She agreed to the divorce.""What? Did you really have an affair?"Zac shook his head in frustration. "No, it's because of Jess from four years ago."Ken looked away and was silent for a long time.Jess' incident four years ago had always been a thorn in her flesh, and there was no way to solve it."So, are you going to give up?""I cr
After the fuss Dorothy made, Mandy went to Ken with her lawyer."Dr. Lucas, something went wrong with my daughter's surgery. I need an explanation."Ken was prepared. He took out all the paperwork."These are the details of Dorothy's treatment, Mrs. Jameson. You can check them out. The rest will have to wait until my lawyer gets here."Mandy took them, looked through them, slapped the table, and said, "Ken, what's the meaning of this? Do you think you've done nothing wrong when the blood bank of a big hospital like yours doesn't have enough blood?""Mrs. Jameson, you realize that your daughter has an Rh-negative blood type, right?"Mandy froze. "So what?""Rh-negative blood type is rare. We have every blood type in our blood bank, but our Rh-negative blood type reserves will never be enough. We've even requested more blood bags from the nearest hospital as per the procedure. It's our standard procedure and the fastest way. Our doctors and nurses handled it very well.""But Doll
"Phoe... Phoebe?"Mandy called her with a tremble. "These...""Dorothy sent me these. She captured my daughter and son and put them in an iron barrel. Then she buried the iron barrel under a farm in the suburbs. I..."Olivia's nose turned sore at the memory. She frowned, fighting back her tears. "I almost lost two children, Mrs. Jameson. I hear that you have experienced losing your child. You should understand, right?"The corners of Mandy's mouth twitched as she tried to get Olivia to let Dorothy go. However, the words were on the tip of her tongue, but she could not get them out.How could she get justice for her daughter?It was karma!Why would she suffer karma if she had not put her two children in an iron barrel?However... However, she was her only daughter. How... could she not be distressed?Olivia snuffled and raised her hand to wipe away her tears. "But you can rest assured I won't call the police on her."Mandy looked at her in shock. "Really?""Yes, but not beca
Olivia paused and did not look back. "Let's talk about it some other time.""Liv."Zac clutched the arm of his wheelchair, his palms full of cold sweat.He longed for her to stay and be the same as before.However..."Zac, didn't you only tell me Fabian is divorcing Dorothy?"Olivia looked back at him. "Quinton Group's stock price will plummet if you both get divorced. It'll be a mess even if you become the CEO. You won't have any authority. Wait till you're settled. Don't worry about it." "Liv, it really isn't what you think. I didn't force Jess to die."Olivia pressed her lips together and smiled a little helplessly. "Zac, even if Jess offered to die for me, I couldn't accept it."She knew that everything Zac had done was for her.However, she could not move on because it was for her.Of course, she was more relieved to be proactive than passive.At least Zac was still the kind Zac and not a bloodthirsty monster."Liv, is there really no going back... between us?"Zac
"I'm fine."Olivia slapped his hand away, stood up, and pointed at the mushroom soup. "Now that you're here, drink this mushroom soup as supper.""That's inappropriate...""Drink it since I told you to. Don't tell me nonsense. Be careful, or I'll fire you.""Don't." Harry quickly gave in. "I need my salary to pay my school fees. I can't afford to lose this job.""Why aren't you drinking it?"After the scene that Mrs. Simmons and Harry made, Olivia knew the two would continue nagging non-stop if she did not leave.She lifted the pudding jar, threw her head back, and drank it all in one gulp. Then she wiped her mouth. "Alright, I'll leave now that you're here. But just this once, got it?""Got it!""Mrs. Simmons, go home with me.""No." Mrs. Simmons shook her head. "There are two wards for two people. We need people in both.""Mrs. Simmons, you were advising me earlier. How can you...""Miss, don't worry. I'm fine. It's just for one night. It'll be alright. I know it's just f
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
