Dorothy?That answer shocked Zac. He had never been interested in John’s women, so he did not know much about Dorothy.Even though he disliked Dorothy, he never expected her to do something like this.Dorothy knew Olivia was too weak to walk, yet she told Olivia about her murder plan. She wanted Olivia to feel distressed knowing about it while being unable to stop it from happening. It was indeed a vicious plan.‘Does John know about this?’ Zac wondered.However, he knew it was a pointless question. John definitely did not know about it.“Why does she want to kill your butler?”Olivia bit her lip, hesitating. She did not dare to tell anyone about her doubts regarding her parents’ death. After all, she had no evidence about it. If Dorothy took advantage of the situation and accused her instead, she would be in trouble and unable to explain herself.She timidly asked, “Can I refuse to tell you the reason?”Zac did not question her further and just nodded. “Of course. I’m John’s

Olivia’s heart shuddered, knowing she could not explain herself again.John would probably not believe her even if she told him everything.In the middle of the standoff, Dorothy lay in John’s arms and cried, “Johnny, please don’t blame Liv for this. It’s me… It’s because of me… I saw something I shouldn’t have seen. That’s why she strangled me.”“She strangled you?”John looked at Dorothy’s neck and saw visible finger marks on her fair and flawless skin. His gaze darkened, and he questioned sternly, “Olivia, did you strangle her?”Knowing she could not deny it, Olivia took a deep breath and nodded. “Yes, I did. It’s because...”Before she could finish, John snapped at her. “Dorothy, tell me why she strangled you!”Dorothy glanced at Olivia cautiously, then looked at John with fear. She bit her lips. “Johnny, it’s alright. I’m fine. Let’s forget about it. Pretend you didn’t see that, okay?”“Speak!”John only said one word, yet it suffocated Olivia.She knew Dorothy would twi

Zac himself was startled by his own question. He had no idea why he asked such a thing.He had agreed to himself to stay out of Olivia and John’s personal affairs.“Actually, I wanted to ask you to help me with the divorce agreement.”“Do you still want that?”Surprisingly, Zac was nervous. He found himself hoping Olivia would divorce John.Olivia scoffed. “Before, I thought that if we were going to keep on torturing each other like this, we might as well free each other. However, you’ve seen the problem, Mr. Quinton. Johnny doesn’t want to set me free but has no intention of ever living peacefully with me again.“And Dorothy hopes I’ll divorce John. I don’t want to make things easy for her. After all, I’m about to die. I want to annoy her till my final dying breath.” Then, she suddenly looked at Zac and smirked. “Mistress. I want her to be tainted by the identity of being a mistress. Even if she marries John after I’m dead, she’ll still be a mistress. That will be something sh

John did not stop. He opened the door and left.‘Is Olivia dying?‘Who’d believe that?‘Isn’t it just pneumonia? Pneumonia can’t kill.‘Her fever has subsided. She can even move around and seduce Zac. Will she die?‘Who is Zac trying to fool?’When John dashed into her ward, Olivia was sitting on the bed, waiting for him anxiously.She looked up at John, feeling a little afraid. “Jonny, I have nothing to do with Zac, I swear.”Even though she knew it was useless, she took the trouble to explain again.“Oh, nothing? Then what were you doing on the peninsula in the middle of the night with him? Don’t tell me you were looking for someone!”John strode toward Olivia and pinched her cheek as he sneered. “I checked the surveillance camera and saw that no one went to the peninsula today!”‘No way. That’s not true…’However, Olivia soon realized that Dorothy knew there would be surveillance, so she would have taken care of everything in advance.This would make it even harder for

Zac took out a phone and handed it to Olivia. “Last night, I bought you a new phone. But you were already asleep, so I took your old phone.“Yours isn’t broken, but it doesn’t work that well. I got you a new one and forwarded the information from your old phone to the new one.”He said it casually, but he was afraid he might have crossed the boundaries of their relationship. He kept glancing at Olivia to observe her emotions.However, Olivia was only surprised.Since John got mean and her father died, no one had ever cared about her this much.Such gentle and unforceful care made her feel comfortable.Zac noticed that Olivia was startled and thought she was worried about her privacy, so he quickly explained. “Please rest assured. I didn’t look through the stuff on your phone.”“No, I wasn’t thinking about that. I-I wanted to thank you.”“By the way, about your butler, Uncle Wallace. The police called and confirmed that he got off the train at Ocean City. Surveillance footage sh
