Olivia felt ridiculous after asking.Their relationship was nearly over. It was pointless to ask if he had loved her before.Why did it matter if he had ever loved her? Olivia scoffed. “You said you would give up your own life to protect me. You said you would make me the happiest woman in the world.”She looked at him. “But look at our life now, Johnny…“These past two years, you have felt nothing but hate and suspicion for me. Everything I do is wrong. Everything I do makes you angry.”Olivia was not the kind of person who would go all in just because of love. She would not cling to a man just because she still loved him.That was why she wanted freedom. However, John refused to set her free. She was being forced to waste her time with him.John looked at her. For some reason, he suddenly noticed that the glow in her eyes was gone.“Olivia, you don’t deserve it.”‘Don’t deserve it?’Olivia bit the back of her hand, trying to stop herself from shedding tears. She smiled bi

Olivia’s voice was not loud, but Dorothy heard it clearly.As far as Dorothy was concerned, Olivia was nothing but a toy they were keeping captive, so she had no right to speak to Dorothy like this.“Olivia, don’t forget that Johnny asked me to take care of your food and drink. Are you planning on starving to death?”Olivia did not bother to argue with Dorothy. She buried her head under the quilt.Dorothy could not hear what was happening inside Olivia’s room and was annoyed. She laughed and said, “Don’t you wonder where I threw Uncle Wallace’s body?“That old man should be blamed for being a busybody. Of course I made him die a miserable death. I’ve thrown him into the sea. The fish might’ve already eaten him up. Are you surprised to hear that?“As for the case, I got rid of it. All the evidence you wanted is gone. Does that annoy you?”Olivia clung to the quilt, clenching her teeth to suppress the anger in her.She swore she would not let Dorothy go.As long as she was still

Dorothy cautiously said, “Johnny, you locked the door from the outside.”John looked at her coldly upon hearing that. “Didn’t you give her food to eat? You locked it again?”Dorothy was startled by the look in his eyes. She lowered her head and said, “I-I was afraid you’d blame me for letting her go. I didn’t dare to…”“Forget it.”John did not bother to listen to her explanation. He kept banging on the door, louder and louder each time. “Olivia, are you waiting for me to kick the door down?”However, he received no response from Olivia.Dorothy suddenly fell into his arms when John wanted to kick the door down.“What’s the matter?”“Head… My head…hurts…”John looked at the door and then at Dorothy. “I’ll help you get back to your room.”“Sorry... Johnny.”John noticed Dorothy’s painful expression and felt sorry for her. He spoke gently. “I’m sorry for being harsh just now. Rest well. I’ll call the doctor.”Dorothy tugged his arm carefully. “Johnny, don’t fight with Liv. Le

Olivia’s last scrap of rationale warned her that this was only for a moment, and she should not dream about being able to live in this moment for so long.However, she then heard John mutter, “Liv, the other day in West Village, I saw you in the fire. You scared me. I rushed in without thinking. I thought about how it would be nice if we both died in the fire together.”Olivia’s body trembled more.It made her wonder if those words were really from John.In West Village… Was it John who saved her, not Zac?When Zac told Olivia this, she could not believe her ears. Unwilling to accept it, she did not dare to believe it was really John.John had loved her very much before this and would have done anything for her. However, he… now belonged to Dorothy. He would never save her…Therefore, when she heard John mention the fire, Olivia felt her heart hammering as though she was going to have a heart attack.However, she did not turn around. She remained in the same position and asked,

“What’s the matter?”Dorothy glanced at Olivia and complained as she sobbed, “Liv spilled her soup on me in fit of rage. I’m afraid she might hurt herself…”On the other end of the call, John frowned and coldly said, “Okay. I’ll be back.”After hanging up the call, Dorothy smirked and said, “Olivia, let’s see which of us will get punished.”She would never let John and Olivia’s love be rekindled. She would keep the secret from thirteen years ago and two years ago concealed from him.Olivia watched Dorothy in disbelief. She burst into laughter.Even though it was the same old trick, she knew John would be fooled again.Dorothy was puzzled. “Olivia, how can you still laugh when you know you’re doomed? Johnny will punish you when he comes back.”“Yes, and so what? Dorothy, I’m Mrs. Freeman, and you’re still John’s mistress after all you’ve done, aren’t you?”Olivia smirked and stared at Dorothy. “And I’m already bored of you being a one-trick pony. Do something else next time.”
