Chapter 292
Despite knowing that Colin had made comprehensive arrangements, Olivia contacted a few people for help.However, something unexpected happened when they were moving Jeff.When it was time for Olivia and Colin to meet up, he hadn't returned.It was a starless night. But the yard hadn't lost its wholesome atmosphere. Cherry blossoms were dancing under the dim light.Olivia made a wind chime and hung it on a tree branch. The fragments struck each other along the wind. The continuous tinkle made her anxious. She was worried about Colin.As the wind chime continued to clack, the wind blew it off the branch. The sound it made when it fell onto the ground elicited uneasiness.Before Olivia could pick it up, someone stood next to it.Colin picked it up and flashed her a bright smile. "Olivia, I'm back."She ran toward him anxiously. "Colin, are you alright?"He nodded and played with the wind chime. "What could've possibly happened to me when you're worried sick for me? "The

Olivia stopped crying. She looked at Colin with misty eyes.She could see her silhouette in his eyes. There was no smidgen of boyish innocence on his handsome face. He seemed like a mature man.Now, was there anything else that was holding her back from leaving?Colin managed to get Jeff out of there. As long as she stayed alive, she could return at any time for revenge.Ethan's face crossed her mind, and she shook her head to get it off her mind. "No. But I would like to see my father before we leave. Is that alright?""Okay. I'll make an arrangement for it," Colin agreed to her request.Olivia continued tending to his wound. Layer upon layer, she wrapped the bandage around his built body.She was surprised to discover how many scars were on his body. "Colin, why do you have so many scars?"He chuckled lightly. "Olivia, I don't think I've ever told you about my family. Do you wanna hear my story?""I'm all ears." She fetched another basin of warm water.Gently, she wiped t

Darkness painted across the night sky, but Olivia wasn't sleepy at all.Lying against the window, she watched the cherry blossom tree.Snowball stretched its body lazily and scratched its nails under the tree.She had agreed to leave with Colin, but she was feeling uneasy for some reason.She was aware that it was her best option.The longer Jeff's treatment was delayed, the more serious his condition would become. Thus, her departure was the best option. Not only could Colin find Leo, but she could also receive treatments to cure her cancer.However, something had been weighing on her chest after she made that decision.It was as though there was a cloud of mist around her.Olivia's hunch kept telling her that something was off.Suddenly, a scream came from Colin's room. "Don't hit me!"She hurriedly pushed the door open. His room was a mess. He was hiding in a corner while trembling like a stray dog."Colin, it's alright. It's me." She carefully approached himHe hugg

Olivia thought about it for a moment. "I wanna see my best friend. "No need to bid farewell. It's enough to see her from afar."Everly had turned into a corporate slave recently. She was working overtime every day.Olivia supposed that Everly had been searching for her everywhere after watching the news.She didn't have the courage to bid Everly farewell. Besides, Olivia had guessed that there had been a lot of people spying on her.It wasn't easy coming this far. She didn't want anyone to disrupt the plan."Okay. I'll help you with that." Colin was always agreeable to her requests.On the same day, Olivia saw Everly during lunchtime.Everly was clad in working attire, which she once complained about to Olivia.She walked to the café like a lifeless doll.After making her order, she rested her head and arms on the table.Whenever her phone vibrated, she quickly checked the incoming notification. Then, disappointment appeared all over her face.She didn't seem to be enjo

"Liv." Everly rubbed her eyes. She kept seeing things these days.By the time she got herself together, Olivia's silhouette had vanished from her sight.Everly deemed it a mere delusion.Helplessly, she shook her head and joined the crowd with the umbrella. A piece of paper fell off the ribs of the umbrella. She grabbed it.The familiar handwriting read, "Take care".It was a simple blessing. Judging from the messy handwriting, she could tell it was written in a rush.Everly covered her face with the umbrella. A grin appeared on her tear-stricken face.She thought, "Olivia is still alive. She's using her way to ensure that she's still alive."She was clever enough to know that Olivia wasn't in a situation to contact her. That was why Olivia told her that she was still alive via this method. Now that she was aware that Olivia was safe and sound, a wave of relief washed over Everly. She held the paper tightly as if it were a treasure, fearing that she might lose it.Now

Colin covered Olivia's phone screen. "Olivia, I know that you're anxious and wish to ask Clara about everything."He saw through her intention. She nodded. "Yes, Colin. Leia's death caused me to suffer for the past two years."I know that it's difficult for Ethan and I to get along well like we did in the past. "But I've been doing my best to find evidence so that I can prove him wrong, that my father is not that kind of person."Olivia clenched his sleeve. "I barely found the hope to continue living. I …"Colin asked seriously, "Olivia, have you ever thought that this could be another trap to lure you out?"Your hints led Ethan to reinvestigate his sister's death. The mastermind's carefully devised plan is disrupted."She's reusing her pawns one by one. Why did Clara make such a huge ruckus by resigning from her position?"She answered, "She's waiting for me to show up.""That's right.""The fact that you've survived has disrupted her plan. Your only weakness is Mr. Fordham, and I've

Brent continued, "In the beginning, those women did perform well in their studies. "They received sponsorship from Mr. Fordham and furthered their studies in big cities. Some of them are diligent in pursuing higher education, too."The majority of them were dazzled by the temptation in the cities, thinking that women should rely on men."Some of them began to neglect their studies and get involved with married or rich men. Some of them even took the ride that comes every Friday specifically for college girls. "The good ones had become housewives after graduation while the bad ones lead an indecent life until today."It pained Mr. Fordham to watch them live such a life. He tried to talk them out of it multiple times."Yet, they betrayed him by framing him for having distorted ideas on them. I captured a few of them and scared them into spilling the truth."Some of the good ones were paid to spread bad rumors about Mr. Fordham, too."As for the mentally ill people, they were either sen

Ignoring Kelvin, Ethan opened the box right away.There was information about Belle and some other individuals. Ethan could remember who Belle was. Previously, Olivia sneaked into his study to read Belle's personal information.He was also aware that someone had jumped off the building on the day Olivia visited the psychiatric hospital.Olivia had organized the documents that included the fact that Belle had a child.He flipped to the end of the document. His expression darkened at the address. "Look into this address. We might be able to find something.""Yes, sir.""And capture Clara Foster. Get something out of her."Ethan was still frustrated by the fact that the mastermind spent a few years inserting a few spies in the Miller Group. When he began to look into the matter strictly, even Stephanie, who was in charge of cleaning his office, was nowhere to be found!The other party had made full preparations before coming to the Miller Group. They were prepared for the
