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
John wanted to lose his temper. However, when he saw the soup on the floor and Dorothy’s injury on her hand, he swallowed what he wanted to say.“Get up. I’ll get someone to clean this up.”“But the soup…”“Leave it. I’ll ask the caretaker to dress your wound. Go rest. You don’t have to worry about it.”“Johnny, what about Liv? Are you going to stay with her?”John was a little annoyed. This woman was so demanding.“Dolly, just go back to your room.”John sounded sterner than usual. Dorothy knew he was mad, so she did not dare to say anything more before walking away aggrievedly.“Ouch, my foot…”When John saw Dorothy twist her ankle, he frowned in disgust. “Where is the caretaker?”At that moment, the caretaker came out of their room and helped Dorothy up. Then, they apologized to John, “I’m sorry, Mr. Freeman. I was cleaning the room. Miss Ellis asked me to…”“Johnny, you should go back to what you were doing. I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me.”After that, she g
Dorothy was stunned and felt a little uneasy. She looked closely at Olivia, terrified that she had discovered something suspicious.“Why should I tell you?”Olivia only peered at her faintly and scoffed. “I just wonder how an evil and selfish person like you was drawn to donating your kidney. I find it hard to believe.”After she said that, Olivia walked around Dorothy to go to the kitchen to get some milk.When Dorothy saw this, she was sure that Olivia had no idea what was happening. Hence, she quickly walked over to stop her. She smirked coldly and asked, “Why? Are you jealous?”“Jealous? You’re just a mistress, so why should I be jealous? Should I be jealous that you’re a thankless wretch? Get out of my way.”Dorothy gritted her teeth and said, “Olivia, don’t think I don’t know. Were you sleeping with Zac two nights ago? Do you think Johnny will let you off the hook? Quit dreaming!“Also, listen up. I will take away everything that belongs to you, and if I can’t take it, I’l
“She had an abortion three years ago that left her infertile.”When Olivia heard this, her eyes widened, and her breathing hitched. “What did you just say? Infertile?”“Yes, but there seems to be a record of her having an abortion not long ago, so I was curious.”The corner of Olivia’s lips twitched, and she scoffed in disbelief. She could not believe that Dorothy was infertile.She was lying to John when she said she was pregnant back then.“Send me the report.”“Okay.”Olivia looked at the sky and paused. “Oh, right. Can you go visit someone in the detention center?”“Who?”“The driver who ran into Dorothy.”After hanging up, Olivia bit her lip. These pieces of evidence were not enough. They would not be enough to make John lose trust in Dorothy.More importantly, they could not prove Olivia’s innocence.As she thought about this, Dorothy knocked on the door outside.“Liv, I brought you some milk.”Olivia huffed. ‘Would she be so kind?’Olivia opened the door and saw D
Olivia despised her so much!Her teeth were making crunching sounds as she gritted them together. She wanted so badly to kill this b*tch to avenge her parents and her dead child.She rushed over to grab Dorothy's collar and push her to the railing.“Dorothy, do you have a grudge against me? Do you want to kill my entire family?”Dorothy pushed her away and replied with a cold smirk, “Yes, I do have a grudge against you! Olivia, why are you the Fire Rose of Ocean City while I have to live in the slums?“Why? Why do people always say that I’m currying favor with you when I stand next to you and that I can’t compare to you?“Olivia, are you really friends with me because you’re kind? No! You did it for yourself so you could use me to look better!”Olivia shook her head. Her starry eyes were red. “Nonsense! When did I ever use you? Do I need to use you?”After hearing that, Dorothy’s face twisted up. She widened her eyes and roared, “Yes! You’re always like this. You’re always so
