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
Zyla could see through what Olivia was thinking. “Sis Liv, I’ll go with you.”Olivia wanted to depart immediately but when she took a look outside, she noticed the sky was turning dark and it would take at least 2 hours to reach West York Village.Just as she was hesitating, Zyla said, “Sis Liv, it’s late already, let’s go tomorrow. If he’s gone, he will already be gone by now, there won’t be much difference.”Olivia knew that she was right, so she nodded. “Alright, I’ll go home then.”Although she said that she was going home, she still felt anxious about it.‘What for?‘To witness the two lovebirds?‘Or to get into a brawl with Dorothy?’No matter which option she opted for, she was tired of dealing with it, plus she was afraid that John might stop her from going out. Just as she was thinking, her phone rang. It was a call from John.Her heart shivered. Just as she wanted to pick it up, Zyla snatched her phone away and hung it up directly.“Sis Liv, stay with me tonight a
“Alright.”John’s tone was rather stiff, which made Dorothy anxious.“Okay Johnny, don’t forget to eat, I shall not disturb you anymore.”Hearing that, John felt that he might have been too fierce earlier and he spoke gentler, “Okay, I am sorry if I sounded harsh earlier, rest well.”That being said, he ended the call.Although he sounded kind, he was still irritated when hearing her voice.He used to like Olivia being coquettish because her voice was tender and sweet, just like a gummy candy. Yet, Dorothy’s way of being coquettish was different, it sounded strange and stiff which annoyed him in the back of his mind.Then again, she saved his life so he would always assume that he was just overthinking. At this time in Golden Hills Apartment…The two finished dinner and continued watching TV while enjoying their fruit juice peacefully.Suddenly, Zyla remembered something and looked at Olivia in shock. “Sis Liv, you’re supposed to go back to the hospital for a maternity che
Olivia walked out of the consultation room in a daze while clenching the results in her hands and her mind was all over whatever the doctor mentioned. ‘Only one kidney, I only have one kidney…’Even if she had an idea in her mind, she dared not continue to imagine.Zyla waited for her in the corridor and upon seeing her lost expression, she quickly went up to her. “Sis Liv, what’s wrong? Is it the baby? Or did your cancer get worse?”Olivia was taken aback and she shook her head. “No… Nothing.”“Sis Liv, you do not look okay at all. If there’s anything, we can settle your illness first then have another baby.”Compared to the baby, Zyla was more concerned about Olivia’s health.She had witnessed Olivia being heavily injured in the hospital bed and she could never imagine how she would be able to have kids. Olivia pursed her lips and forced a smile. “I am fine, really.”She showed the examination results to Zyla. “Look, the baby is healthy, so is my body.” ‘Just that I have o
As she was speaking, the lady lowered her tone and went nearer to the two, “His money was probably illegal, that’s why he escaped.”Olivia and Zyla exchanged gazes and looked at the lady. “Ma’am, do you know which old folks' home his mother went to?”The lady scratched her head and murmured, “Which one was it again… I somewhat heard the word mountain but not the rest. He didn’t tell anyone as well, I just happened to pass by when he was on a call.”“Thank you, ma'am.”“You’re welcome but I am afraid you might not be able to get your money back. How much did he owe you?”“Ten thousand.”“Oh dear, that will be difficult.”Olivia pursed her lips and smiled bitterly. “Guess we don’t have a choice then, thank you ma’am.”“Well, I’ll take my leave.”After the lady left, the two went back into the car. Now that Ben was nowhere to be found, all leads were lost. Even if there were surveillance cameras, those would not be enough to prove the connection to Dorothy and she might even fr
Zyla was driving at a normal speed. The two had a lot of fun chatting, and the atmosphere inside the car was pretty harmonious.Suddenly, a Maybach overtook them. Then, it turned left and blocked their car, scaring Zyla into slamming on the brakes.“Sis Liv, are you okay?”“I’m fine.”Olivia lifted her head to see John storming toward her aggressively. She immediately became so scared that she started shaking.Even though she had firmly hung up his call, her heart still softened every time she saw this man. At the same time, he also always struck fear in her. John knocked on the car door and coldly said, “Get out!”Zyla finally noticed who it was. She turned to look at Olivia. “Sis Liv, what should we do? Should I just crash our way through him?”Olivia was stunned and looked at Zyla in astonishment.‘This girl usually looks so gentle. I didn't expect her to be so hot-headed during conflict.’ She might have been the first person to ever suggest knocking John with a car to g
“Johnny, why won’t you believe me? The driver was a woman. Couldn’t you see it?” John knew the driver was a woman, but he refused to believe it.Olivia stayed over at Zac’s apartment last night, so it was impossible that nothing happened between them. Impossible!“Olivia, I won’t allow you to leave me!”After he said that, John leaned over her and kissed her. He was rough and brutal.His lips soon landed on Olivia’s fair neck. Then, he opened his mouth and bit her, leaving a red mark behind. “Olivia, remember that you’re my woman. Even if I don’t want you or I don’t want to play with you anymore, you aren’t allowed to even think about finding someone else!”His obsession and possessiveness forbade others from touching Olivia. He would not allow even the idea of her cheating to exist in this world. Olivia was in pain. She looked at John in disbelief and with tears in her eyes. She sobbed. “Johnny, you’ve changed. You’re so unreasonable now!“You don’t believe anything I say,
John put Olivia down on the bed in the room upstairs and said coldly, “I’ll stay here tonight.”She opened her eyes to look at John. Suddenly, she felt amused and turned her back toward him.‘Stay here with me?’He sounded like he was doing charity for her. She had not begged him to stay, either. He could go to Dorothy if he wished.“What kind of attitude is this? I know you can’t bear to be by yourself and you want someone with you all the time, so I promised to stay here. What else do you want?”After Olivia heard that, she bit her lip and grabbed a pillow to throw at John.“Johnny, what are you saying? I can’t bear to be by myself? Who’s the one that can’t bear to be by themself?“I was hospitalized because of my miscarriage. When I was discharged, I saw you and Dorothy together. Who’s the one that can’t bear to be by themselves?”Olivia screamed that last sentence.Ever since birth, she had been poised and dignified. When had she ever been so hysterical before?This man w
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
