”Dolly, stop. This is the shareholders’ meeting, can we bring this up back home instead?”Fabian pretended to be the good guy in the room. Both of them were really pulling on an act.“Excuse me for interrupting, but I have a question.”At that moment, one of the shareholders asked, “Since you’re being rescued in the hospital, why do you still require Mr. Quinton to donate his blood?”“I went to the Lucas Hospital and the doctor mentioned that there was not enough RH Blood in their blood bank when I was in the emergency room. They needed to get some from other hospitals, but Mr. Quinton happened to share the same blood type as me.”Dorothy leaned into Fabian’s arms and cried. “I know that Mr. Quinton never liked me, but we are family now, no? Do you really need to be that cruel to me?”“Dolly…”“Don’t stop me! I have to say it out, or else I’ll feel terrible!”The shareholders present had begun to believe her words.As the saying goes, tears were the best weapon of a woman.Fr
“This is the shareholders’ meeting of Quinton Group. What are you doing here, woman? Ms. Jameson is at least the lady of the Jameson family, but you’re just a poor girl who snuck into a rich family, so what brings you here?”The one speaking was Uncle Williams from earlier.Olivia laughed instead of being angry. “Uncle Williams, why are you so worked up?”That being said, she took out two documents from her briefcase. “Here are two equity transfer documents. Together, I own 20% of the equity. Which means to say that besides my father-in-law Mr. Quinton, I’m the biggest shareholder of the company.”“What? Where did the 20% come from?”Olivia placed the documents on the table. “The documents are legitimate. As for where they came from, that’s none of your business, right?”“Huh? What else can a woman do? Who did you sleep with?”As he spoke, he looked at Zac and mocked him, “Zac Quinton, I never expected you to do anything to this extent. Selling your wife for the sake of victory?
“What? How is that possible?”Back then, Dorothy pleaded with Mr. Coal while sleeping with him, but Mr. Coal did not agree to it. How did they manage to get the contract back?She pushed Fabian away and took the document to look at it. “Phoebe, you slept with him?”Olivia rolled his eyes. “Are you crazy? I’m not that cheap.”Fabian also took over the document and said, “Wait, this is Mrs. Coal’s signature.”That being said, he looked toward Zac. “Brother, are you serious? You’re willing to be a gigolo for the sake of a contract?” His gaze fell on Zac’s legs as he spoke, “Your legs… Can you?”Facing Fabian’s insult, Zac moved his wheelchair toward Olivia and looked at her gently before turning to him coldly. “Fabian, Quinton Group is a proper company, not some slumber hole. Please stop talking about those things you do with your wife.”The document was indeed retrieved by Zac, but he did not plan to take it out now.The reason was simple. It was not the right time yet.Plus, if
Quintell wanted to escape, but Wilbur was grabbing onto him hard and he could not move at all.“I’m being accused! How dare you arrest me?”The policeman handcuffed him immediately. “Sorry, but we’ll never arrest anybody for no apparent reason. The footage of you harassing Hannah Zinger and the messages that forced her to commit suicide are all with us.”Quintell’s facial expression changed, and he turned back to glare at Olivia. “Nasty b*tch! Wait for it! As long as I am alive, I will make you pay for this!”Quintell was still clamoring until he was taken out of the meeting room.“Phoebe James, watch it! I’ll…”Although she had met many fiercer people, Olivia was still slightly horrified and could not help but tremble slightly.Zac quickly held her hand and warmed her icy-cold palm with his while comforting her gently, “Don’t worry, he won’t be able to come out again.”Hearing that, Olivia looked down at Zac in shock only to see him nodding at her to rest assured.This made h
The temperature in the meeting room suddenly reached freezing point.Everyone knew that Dorothy and Olivia’s relationship was like ice and fire and they were on bad terms.However, one of them was the major shareholder with 20% equity in hand and the other was the young lady of the Jameson family. They could not afford to provoke any of them.Coupled with the two young masters, whoever they chose now may be feared by the other side, and the losses would definitely outweigh the gains.Someone then opened their mouth. “Everyone, why don’t we invite Mr. Quinton back to settle this?”“I’m fine with that.” Dorothy looked at Olivia coldly and said in a strange tone, “But I think someone might disagree with it since the monkey can only call itself king when the tiger isn’t here.”“Dorothy Jameson, shut up!”Fabian understood his current situation and knew that trying hard now would only make everything worse.He also knew Jimmy’s personality. As long as he did not do anything over the
“Who told you that Pheebs is Olivia’s substitute?”Zac looked at Dorothy indifferently, and he spoke in disdain, “It’s because Olivia looked similar to Pheebs that I helped her. Do you think I’m as shameless as you to snatch the partner of my good friend?”“Zac Quinton! You!” Dorothy’s face was flushed with anger. She pointed at him but could not say a word.Fabian felt embarrassed and went forward to pull her back. “Enough. Stop causing a scene here. Don’t you feel embarrassed?”However, Dorothy had already lost it. She pushed him away while looking at Olivia and Zac. “Impossible! That’s definitely impossible! Zac Quinton, you’re lying! You’re just making everything up! If you had met her five years ago, why didn’t you tell anyone? Why didn’t you defend yourself when everyone was saying that you were in love with Olivia Larson?”“Dorothy Ellis, do I need to report everything I do to you? Do I need to explain to you how I met Pheebs and how we parted ways?” Zac snorted. “What’s yo
Dorothy soon realized the woman's relationship with Fabian and looked at him with resentment. "Fabian, are you divorcing me for this b*tch?"Elaine did not let Dorothy have her way. She retorted, "Be respectful. Stop calling everyone a b*tch.""Shut up! You're a homewrecker. How dare you strut around?""Please, Fabian and I have been together since the start. You're the homewrecker!"Dorothy froze, turned to look maliciously at Elaine, and waved her hand to hit her.Fabian quickly shielded Elaine from the slap by moving her behind him.Dorothy froze, feeling her lungs explode from fury.She thought everyone would protect her once she had money and status.However, she now realized that no one had ever protected her in all her years as Dorothy Jameson.Instead, she became a downright vicious woman.Why?She looked up with hatred and confusion. "Why? Why are you all doing this to me? Am I no match for a woman like her?"Elaine touched Fabian's face lovingly before turning aro
Olivia looked up blankly. "It's you.""Yeah, it's me."John slowly held her. "I know you came to Quinton Group. I was afraid something would happen to you, so I rushed over from the nearby city. I didn't expect to be late. Are you okay?"Olivia looked blankly at him for a long while before laughing out loud suddenly.John was a little worried as he held her arm. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"Olivia's laughter stopped abruptly. She looked at him coldly and asked, "John, Dorothy's dead meat. Why aren't you saving her?"Even if John admitted his mistake, what happened four years ago was still a thorn in her flesh. She felt pain whenever she recalled it.She would never forget it. She fell into the sea with Dorothy, and John saved Dorothy first.She also could not forget how he had asked the hospital to save Dorothy first when both of them were hurt together.She even had a hard time forgetting how she had collected evidence to sue Dorothy, but he became Dorothy's witness
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
