If John had not grabbed her, she would even have wanted to continue scolding.

She knew she could not scold such people awake.

The people nearby gathered around and pointed fingers at Cynthia's mother, which made her embarrassed and angry. She rushed up to Cynthia and slapped her.

"You ingrate! I raised you, and you betrayed me. Let's see if I still pay for your medication!"

She regarded Lyla as a cash cow at first, but now that she was exposed. She was so mad that she had nowhere to vent her fury but Cynthia.

Fortunately, someone pushed her away. "What kind of mother are you? How could you lay hands on your daughter with a heart condition? Do you want her to die?"

"What do you rich people know? Do you know how expensive the treatment is? Her father worked so hard that he even coughed up blood. Our family's about to fall apart. What can I do?"

"Bullsh*t! Since there's so much trouble, why have a second child? Why give birth to a second child when you can't even afford to raise on

    "Pheebs."Xavier could not help walking over and interrupting the two. "Are you okay?"Olivia was surprised to see him. "Xavier? Why are you here?"Hearing this, iciness flickered in Xavier's eyes. He looked down sadly with a bitter smile, "Pheebs, I've been here for a long time. I was the one who subdued Dorothy and pushed away Cynthia's mother. Why didn't you notice me?"As he spoke, his beautiful narrow eyes had a hint of grievance and gloom. "Pheebs, you don't care about me. How upsetting.""I..." Olivia was so embarrassed. It was all right that she did not see him, but Xavier had just helped her save Lyla, and she did not recognize him. She also found herself to have gone too far.Seeing her looking troubled, John said, "How can she notice you when it was so chaotic earlier? You want credit for little things you do and even beg for attention so aggrievedly. You're so good at faking it."Xavier glared at him and continued to look piteously at Olivia. "Pheebs, do I look prete

    Since the last incident, Ken had abandoned his work to avoid hostility.Therefore, on the day Olivia was discharged from the hospital, Zac sent Wilbur to pick her up.However, Olivia had packed her luggage and waited alone in the room before Wilbur arrived."Pheebs."She looked up and was a little shocked. "Why are you here?""I'm here to pick you up.""Zac has sent someone to pick me up."Olivia wanted to get away with it. She did not expect Xavier to walk over and grab her hand, asking, "Pheebs, have you considered leaving?""Leaving?""Yeah, you and Zac are getting a divorce. It's pointless to stay here anyway. Why don't you leave with me? You can continue running a jewelry design studio. I can fund you to open a few more stores. Besides, Lyla was born abroad and is more used to life abroad, isn't she?"Seeing that Olivia was silent, Xavier continued saying, "If you're still worried about your brother, we can leave after he recovers. I can afford to wait."Olivia paused a

    Olivia urged Wilbur as soon as she got in the car, "Hurry and drive.""Yes, Madam."Once they drove away, Wilbur could not help asking when Olivia kept looking back, "Madam, what's the matter?"Olivia shook her head. "Nothing. Two pests were following me in the hospital just now. I was worried that they'll follow me to the car.""I have insect repellent. Do you need it?"With that said, Wilbur took out a new bottle of insect repellent from the box next to him and handed it over.Olivia hesitated for a moment and took it.After all, she was too lazy to explain that the pest she mentioned was not the pest he was thinking of."Madam, Mr. Quinton prepared the insect repellent. He knows you attract insects, so he asked me to prepare some insect-repellent equipment in the car. Besides the bottle, I also prepared ointment, sprays, and so on."After saying that, Wilbur looked at her through the rearview mirror and said cautiously, "Mr. Quinton has wanted to see you, but he said he was

    Olivia's face darkened when she saw them. "Why are you here?""We came to celebrate your discharge."The two said at the same time.The atmosphere in the room was so awkward that Olivia immediately wanted to return to the hospital.If she had known this would happen, she would have snuck out in the middle of the night.Those who knew were here to celebrate; those who had no idea would think they were here to fight.Most importantly, she did not think they did it for her. It was only two childish fools, who had found each other's match and wanted to see who was more childish.Just then, Lyla suddenly looked up at the three men and asked, "Mommy, are you going to choose one of these three uncles to be my father?"Once she said that, Olivia saw the three men's eyes light up. Though they said nothing, every cell in their bodies was saying, "Pick me. Pick me."Olivia quickly covered Lyla's mouth and said sternly, "Shut up and help Mrs. Simmons in the kitchen."To prevent Lyla from

    Olivia felt Ian tremble. Then he shook her hand away, looked at Xavier, and asked, "Who are you? What do you mean by that?"Xavier looked at Olivia and then at him. "Pheebs, doesn't he know Fred's your brother?""Fred?"Ian's expression sank as he turned around to ask Olivia, "Who's Fred?"Olivia glared at Xavier, pulled Ian aside, and muttered, "Ian, the guy earlier doesn't know who I really am. Don't let him find out you're my biological brother.""Why? Am I embarrassing? Or is Fred better? Now that Dorothy has been arrested, what are you afraid of? Why won't you reveal your true identity?"Ian broke free from her and looked at her coldly. "Olivia, how many times do you have to hurt me before you're satisfied?"Olivia frowned, distraught."Ian, that's not it. Will you let me explain?""Explain? You do have some explaining to do." Ian sneered. "Have you been a sister to Fred these past four years?"Olivia was speechless for a moment. She knew what Ian cared about, but her ly

    Xavier helped Olivia onto the couch before getting the first-aid kit and cleaning the graze on her elbow."Pheebs, is he really your brother?"Olivia glanced at him. "It's complicated.""However complicated it may be, he shouldn't have treated you like that if he said you're his sister. He has no manners at all."Xavier was angry. "I'll beat him up the next time I see him!""Don't!" Olivia grabbed the band-aid from Xavier. "I'll do it myself."Xavier frowned and said, "Are you mad? Pheebs, you always do that. You keep everything to yourself. You can't handle everything on your own. Sometimes you can consider relying on people beside you.""Should I rely on you?" John walked over and indignantly pushed him away. "Are you sowing discord? Or are you worried about Phoebe?"John looked up and said softly, "Let me take you to your room. Get changed before having your meal."Olivia looked at the stain on her clothes and nodded.After getting approval, John carried her in his arms.

    John stiffened and knew something was wrong.Otherwise, she would not have used that interrogative tone."What's the matter?""Answer me. Was it you?"Since Olivia asked, John could only nod. "Yes.""Why did you call him here when you knew Xavier was also here? Did you do it on purpose?"John frowned. "Liv, is that how you think of me?""Answer me."John looked at her. He eventually gave in as the two looked into each other's eyes. "Ian asked me when you were going to be discharged, so I told him the date. I didn't expect him to be here either, let alone expect Xavier to come over."With that said, he touched his forehead and sighed. "As I said before, I don't trust Xavier. Why would I risk Xavier seeing Ian?"Olivia was slightly relieved to hear that. She then asked, "Is Ken on call today?""Yes."Olivia quickly looked down to find her phone but could not find it.Seeing that she looked nervous, John grabbed her hand. "What's the matter? Is something wrong with Ian?""Ia

    While eating, John kept observing Xavier and saw that he had been helping Olivia and the two children get more food. Xavier's face was full of smiles and obsequiousness.However, it was that obsequiousness and smile that made John a little uneasy.This man must have some conspiracy. It would never be as simple as pursuing Liv.However, John was also clear that Olivia might not believe anything he said. He must find hard evidence.After noticing the look in John's eyes, Xavier gave him a helping of salad. "Mr. Freeman, why do you keep staring at me? Is there something on my face, or have you changed your sexual orientation?"John withdrew his gaze and moved the salad he gave him to the plate nearby, "I don't like vegetables."Unexpectedly, Xavier gave him another helping of salad. "Vegetables are good. You should have a balanced diet. Meat shouldn't be the only thing you eat. It's easy to get high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and high cholesterol. It will be problematic if it l

    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
