Zac did not seem to expect her to ask that, so he asked in reply, "You don't believe me?"

Olivia went radio silent for a while before saying, "Go ahead. I'll be waiting for your good news."

She hung up and looked out the window in a daze.

The news said John killed Leo Whittaker, the public relations team leader of Maxi Group. They spoke as if it were true, and there was even a photo to prove it.

Leo was Mr. Whittaker, who tried to assault her at the jewelry exhibition yesterday.

She overheard John ordering Wes to do something, and Olivia could not be sure if he had killed Leo.

She was even... more inclined to believe that he killed Leo.

Who else could it be besides him?

However...

"Miss?" Mrs. Simmons walked up to her and shook her hand. "Miss, what are you thinking? Do you think Mr. Freeman did this?"

Olivia snapped back to her senses, looked at her, and shook her head.

"You don't think he did it?"

Olivia took a double take and shook her head again.

"Miss, you were there

    She had thought of many possibilities and suspicious people, but she knew one person was the most suspicious...She suspected that John killed Leo. However, as soon as the news broke about her and Leo, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.It was aimed at John.Leo's death, John's beating up Leo, including her being assaulted by Leo… These incidents formed a perfect loop.A damsel in distress, a substitute for the dead wife, a woman in an affair, a friend's wife, a woman trying to get to the top...There was no end to these foul labels, and the amount of room for imagination was just too much.Olivia only picked up her phone when the caller called a second time."Have you seen the news?""Yeah, I have.""Where are you?""At home.""Phoebe, do you realize you're now a witness in this case?"Olivia pressed her lips together. "Yeah, I guess so. After all, I had something to do with how it started.""Were you with Mr. Freeman the whole night? Did you ever hear him mentio

    "Kate woke up?"Olivia jumped to her feet."Yeah, she just woke up. I made her a cup of hangover tea. She should be quite sober now."Olivia followed Mrs. Simmons into the guest room and saw Kate drinking tea in bed. She saw her pick up the cup and quickly down its content."Pheebs."Olivia nodded. "How are you? Are you feeling well? Do you have a headache or something?""No, Mrs. Simmons makes good hangover tea."As she spoke, Kate held up the empty cup. "Mrs. Simmons, do you have more? I'd like another cup."Mrs. Simmons took the cup. "No, but I also made tomato soup. Should I get you a bowl?""Yes, thank you.""Don't mention it."Once Mrs. Simmons was gone, Olivia sat on the edge of the bed. "Is there something you want to tell me?""Yeah."Kate nodded, took Olivia's hand, looked in the direction of the door, and whispered, "Pheebs, I think there's something strange about that sir.""Strange? Why do you say that?""I don't know. It's just a feeling. I've always found

    "I did drink a lot, but I was only a little tipsy and walking a little wobbly, but I'm sure I wasn’t dead drunk."I was resting on the sofa when the driver who had dropped us off came over and told me Sir wanted me to wait for you upstairs. I didn't know what happened to you, so I thought you had sent him to find me. That’s why I followed the driver."Kate licked her dry lips. "He poured me a drink and asked me some questions after we got upstairs."Olivia was immediately alarmed. "What did he ask you? Who does it concern?""You."When she heard this, Olivia's expression changed, and she was increasingly confused about who to trust.It was so weird.It was so weird how this all happened.The sir she had known for so long would never do such a thing.He was a gentle and thoughtful person who would never lie like that or let Kate drink more when he knew she was already drunk.It reminded her of the time she had just arrived at the jewelry exhibition when she said she felt dizzy

    Seeing Olivia's face pale and with beads of sweat on her forehead, Kate took a piece of tissue paper and wiped it for her."Pheebs, are you okay? Is that person important to you?"Olivia snapped to herself and looked blankly at Kate, silent for a moment.He was important to her, but Milo was... like a new acquaintance.However, with Wade by Milo's side, how could Milo not be Sir?Then she remembered that John had said that he was Mr. M...Oh no. What a mess."Pheebs? Are you alright? My opinion may be biased and subjective. If it were..."Olivia shook her head before Kate could finish. "I'm fine. What you said was objective analysis. There's nothing wrong with it. I'm the one... who's subjective.""Pheebs..."She said that, but Kate knew she was on the verge of breaking down.Finally, Olivia let out a long sigh and got up from bed. "Forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's go down for breakfast."However, even if she said she did not want to think about it,

    After arriving at the police station, Olivia and Kate split up to give their statements.It was simple. They were only asking about that night. Olivia did not want to lie, so she told the truth.Of course, she left out John stabbing Leo's hand and talking to Wes on the phone later in the car."Ms. James, there's something a little personal, but we have to ask anyway."The policeman looked sternly at her. "What is your relationship with Mr. Freeman? In other words, would Mr. Freeman kill for you because Leo tried to harass you?"Olivia clenched her hands under the desk and responded with feigned composure, "As you can see, Mr. Freeman is a friend of my husband's.""But according to everyone, it looks like your husband, Mr. Quinton, fell out with Mr. Freeman four years ago."Olivia laughed in mock relief. "Officer, you do realize that Mr. Freeman's lawyer is my husband, right?"Hearing this, the policeman fell silent."Besides, I think any passer-by, regardless of gender, will h

    "What do you mean by shaking your head? You can't help him?"Zac beckoned her to move closer.Olivia also knew they were at a police station, so she leaned over."It's a little difficult. Someone reported John."Olivia's expression changed. She looked around and whispered in shock, "What? Reported him? Is there any proof?""There's no definitive proof, but there are photos of Wes stepping on Leo and taking him outside.""But that doesn't prove John did it.""Yes, but it also doesn't prove he didn't kill him. Especially if he didn't instruct Wes to do it."Olivia bit her lip. "Are you confident with this case?"Zac nodded. "It's troublesome, but I'm confident. The focus now is the suspicion against John."Just then, Kate walked out."Pheebs, are you done?"With that said, she saw Zac and came forward smiling. "Zac, I haven't seen you in ages. You didn't come to see me when I was in the hospital. How could you?"Zac chuckled. "Sorry, I was a little busy during that time, so

    Zac understood at this point.However..."Kate, do you suspect Milo too?"Kate nodded. "Yeah, I don't think something's right with that guy. He told several lies about last night, and every lie was directed at Pheebs. It's like he's trying to create some persona in front of Pheebs..."Kate waved her hand. "Oh, I'm not sure, but I don't trust this guy intuitively."Zac turned around to glance at Olivia and let out a little sigh.He did not trust Milo either.According to the timeline, Milo was the most suspicious.Besides... He did not think Milo was Mr. M. After all, his appearance was too coincidental. Everything was too much of a coincidence.During lunch, Olivia kept her head down, said nothing, and did not eat much food, which worried Zac.However, he could not say anything, so he signaled for Kate to spend more time with Olivia.Kate was well enough to leave the hospital, and she planned to stay with Olivia for the time being after what had happened, so she agreed.Zac

    The ringtone sound was such common ringtone that it could not be a more common sound in the house like death was coming...Olivia stared in the direction of the door, her nails digging deep into the flesh as she forced herself to her feet. One step at a time, she walked downstairs heavily and fearfully.She had been avoiding it, afraid of exposing Milo's identity, so she refused to discuss and believe it.However, it seemed she had no way to escape. With no retreat, she could only accept the harsh truth.However... Why?Kate supported her from the side. She was worried when she saw her face pale and her forehead covered with fine beads of sweat. "Pheebs, don't force yourself. Let's find someone else. You're not gonna find them by yourself."Olivia did not answer. She dragged herself to the door, her right hand shakily grabbing the doorknob.She gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and pushed the door outward.The man outside the door looked the same. He held up his phone and

    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.

    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
