The man on the other end of the line paused and said coldly, "What information have you got?"

"No, I just saw them taking their luggage, looking like they were running away. I asked many tough questions, but she didn't answer any. I can't just make things up, can I?"

"Ha, even if you make something up, make up a decent story."

The man held his cheek and nodded reluctantly. "Got it."

Then he seemed to recall something suddenly and said, "By the way, I recognize the man who came to pick them up. It's Zac's man."

"Zac?"

The person on the other end of the line was silent for a while before saying with a sneer, "Okay, got it. Just handle the news article."

"Yes."

...

After what happened, everyone in the car was silent, so the atmosphere was unusually grave.

Ken was the first to speak.

"Don't worry. I'll take care of the media and keep the children out of it."

Olivia frowned. That was not what she was worried about.

Someone must have planned these reporters' sudden appearances.

    After changing cars, Wilbur returned to the main road and drove half an hour out into the countryside. They went through a forest before coming to a stop."Madam, we're here."Olivia got out of the car and looked at the house in front of her. She did not know what words she could use to describe it for a moment.It looked like a cabin in the woods but had walls around it. It had an iron gate, surveillance cameras, and alarms. The walls also had electric fences. You could say anyone trying to break in here would be dead meat."I didn't even know Zac had such a place."Ken was shocked as he looked around. "This place is safe."Wilbur helped get the luggage out of the car and said, "Madam, I know you have to suffer by staying here, but Mr. Quinton is worried that you would be in danger outside. So he would like you to stay here until the mastermind is found."Olivia nodded. "I understand, but..."She frowned. "I don't have a problem with that, but doesn't Ken need to take care of

    If that was the case...Then all the mysteries would be solved.She had been wondering what Milo was after if Milo had betrayed her.She knew it now.It was to work with Maxi Group.Therefore, maybe John was right. Milo was not who she thought he was after all.However...She always felt that someone else had reported John for murder instead of Milo.Even if Milo did make a secret deal with Leo to work with Maxi Group, and it failed because John saved her life, did John have to die?Besides that, they threatened Zac and her.Was it necessary to go that far for a cooperation with Maxi Group?Ken frowned when he saw her deep in thought. "You suspect Milo, don't you?"Olivia turned to look at him and shook her head. "No, I suspect he's working with Leo, but I don't think he framed John."Ken only snorted coldly and said nothing.He knew Olivia only refused to accept it.After all, she thought Milo was Mr. M, her savior.It would have been out of character for her to conclu

    "How is it over there? Are things okay?"Olivia recomposed herself after replying."Yeah, it's alright."'No, isn't he still at the police station?'She quickly looked at the caller to find an unfamiliar number. She was instantly alerted. "Who are you? How did you get this number?"The person on the other end of the line sounded a little grumpy. "Olivia, do you not recognize my voice? Hmm?"'The tone, the voice, the way he spoke... It's him.'However, Wilbur gave her the phone, and his phone number was new."But why is your phone number different?""I got a new phone and a new number like you to prevent being bugged.""Oh."Olivia instantly let out a sigh of relief. She leaned weakly against the wall and closed her eyes.There had been so much going on in the past two days that she had become paranoid and nervous.John was a little upset at her indifferent tone. "You don't want to hear from me? Why are you not happy at all?"Olivia rolled her eyes. "Mr. Freeman, what do y

    “What are you shaking?”The man on the sofa suddenly spoke with an eerie chuckle. “Didn’t I ask you to follow them? What happened?”Suddenly, the man fell to his knees with a thud. “Mr. Hulton, I’m sorry. I-I lost track of them!”“Lost track?”Milo revealed half of his body from behind the darkness. His voice was cold and quiet as he said, “That means you didn’t complete your task, did you?”The man in black trembled more. Then, he bowed his head and begged, “Mr. Hulton, I’m sorry, please give me another chance...”“Give you another chance?”Milo sneered. “You can’t even find the person you’re looking for. Do you think giving you another chance will do anything?”After he was done speaking, he suddenly raised his hand, retrieved a fruit knife out of nowhere, and used it to nail the palm of the man in black to the ground.The severe pain made him bite his lower lip hard, but he did not dare to make a sound.When he saw this, Milo stretched out his hand and turned the fruit kni

    “But...” Milo’s face changed, and his voice suddenly turned cold. “Mr. Freeman, don’t fault me for not reminding you. In my opinion, you can’t protect anyone, even Phoebe...”“Don’t you dare!”“Why not?”Milo sneered. “Mr. Freeman, you don’t even know who I am, but I know everything about you, including everything you care about. So, why should I be afraid?”Hearing this, the veins on John’s forehead pulsated, and his eyes turned cold.No one in Ocean City had ever dared to talk to him like this!When he thought of Milo’s familiar face, he clenched his fists and punched the seat beside him.Damn it!“Milo, I’ll show Phoebe who you really are sooner or later!”“Okay, I’ll go through this with you. You’d better record this call, or you’ll lose one important piece of evidence.”John smiled coldly. “No need.”“It’s good to be confident, but don’t be conceited. Watch out, or you might lose everything.”Then, Milo lowered his voice a little and said playfully, “But, John, I love

    Inside a cabin in the woods of the suburban area.Olivia and the others had been here for two full days.In the past two days, John had not contacted her, and neither had anyone else. It was as if they had lost contact with the outside world all of a sudden.The only way to get information was through the Internet.However, besides the news on the Internet about Olivia beating the reporter and leaving Elegance Gardens with the children, the speculation about who the children belonged to, and rumors about her relationships with several men, there were no news related to the case.She had no idea what was going on with John and Zac.Was John actually exonerated?Had the real murderer been caught?Was Zac safe?She had no idea.All she could do was wait for the truth to emerge.For the past two days, she had been tormented by these things, but she still could not figure it out, so she simply did not want to think about it anymore.Sooner or later, she would find out who the tr

    “Olivia.”“Hmm?”Ken turned to face the direction of the forest alongside Olivia and said softly, “You feel tired because you have avenged yourself, so you feel that now, you are forced to participate in things that should have nothing to do with you. That’s why you feel heavy, and... I know you must feel bad about Milo.”“I guess. I am more worried about the future of the two children. They can’t always follow me with such fear, right?”“Don’t worry, John will take care of it. We will be able to go back soon.”“I hope so.”Olivia really did not want to think about this.It was useless to think about it anyway.If it was really the person behind Dorothy, Olivia would not be able to one-up them even if she were to try her hardest, would she? As for Milo, she was really getting confused……The next day, Olivia did not get up until noon. When she went downstairs, she saw another person in the living room.She was a little surprised by the visitor but quickly calmed down, igno

    Olivia took a closer look, then froze for an instant.All the things on the table were cameras and bugs, big and small.“These...” She pointed at the coffee table. “Where did you find all these?”“Elegance Gardens.”“Elegance Gardens?”“There were cameras in the garden, the living room, and all your other rooms. Even all the shoes in your shoe cabinets had bugs and trackers. So you could say that you were being tracked and listened to wherever you went. You had no privacy at all!”John stood up from the sofa. “However, fortunately, I discovered that you hadn’t had the chance to wear these shoes and these cameras hadn’t been installed for long, so I guess nothing was monitored.”Olivia’s breathing paused, and the air around her felt thinner.In all her life, she had never seen so many cameras and bugs in one place. This was terrifying.“W-who did this?”“I’ve looked into it. Someone sneaked in and installed it when they lied about the reservoir being faulty.”‘Faulty reservoi

    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
