Chapter 387
Olivia didn't sleep a wink at all. She grabbed her phone as soon as her phone screen lit up in the darkness.It was a text from Avery. "Are you asleep yet?"She got out of bed. Since she didn't want to wake the child, she headed to the washroom to call Avery.Avery's gentle voice rang into her ear. "Hello. It's late, and you weren't asleep?""Yeah. Did you find any leads?""Yes. There are two things I wanna tell you. First, Mr. Carlton and Ms. Rosa are going to meet up soon. Second, I've found something about the person you wanted me to look into."Olivia's eyes lit up. She didn't hold high hopes of finding anything about that person, but Avery was surprisingly reliable."Who is that?" she asked."The members of Toxic Hive use fake names, so knowing her name is pointless. Her code name is Begonia. I managed to track her current whereabouts. Would you like to meet up with her before she moves elsewhere?"Avery reported his findings with equanimity, but he managed to make her ju

Olivia knew that Avery was telling the truth. The warmth was evident in his gaze, but it was free from sensual emotions.She blinked her eyes, wondering if that was how it felt like to have an older brother.She smiled. "It's alright. I'm not as lucky as you are to have so many siblings. I'm the only child in my family."It pained Avery to see the loneliness in her eyes. He took a document out of his bag. "Here's Begonia's information. Take a look at it."She was impressed that he could dig out Begonia's information when she had only brought it up briefly. Not even Ethan could get such information in his hands!However, the woman on the document was wearing a mask. Olivia couldn't see her face.Avery explained, "Concealing their identity has always been a rule in Toxic Hive. Even those people who work together in the same space don't reveal their faces to each other.""I see."Aside from Begonia's face, he had detailed information, such as her position in Toxic Hive.Instead

Olivia felt it would be unbecoming of her to ask further questions, so she stopped.She and Avery were mere acquaintances. She was already grateful to him for being willing to tell her that much.Their car stopped in an alley that was free from surveillance cameras. There was a black SUV parked at the same place."We gotta change cars.""Okay." Olivia got out of the car only to realize that the SUV had high performance. Even its windows were bulletproof.They were heading to the suburbs. Noticing that Olivia was slightly nervous, Avery took two bottles of yogurt drinks out from a small refrigerator. "Want some?"She was surprised when she saw him drinking it with a casual expression. It was strawberry-flavored."T-Thanks."He chuckled. "Frankly speaking, my family loves yogurt drinks, especially strawberry-flavored ones.""It is tasty." Olivia understood that he was trying to make her relax after noticing that she was nervous.The sourness and sweetness melted in her mouth, r

Under Marina's anxious gaze, the lady removed Marina's oxygen mask. "Just what do you want?" asked Marina weakly. Her question was free from her usual supercilious tone."What do I want?" The lady chuckled softly. Her face was no less different from what Marina remembered.Time, which could be relentless, chose to be kind to this lady whose face was free from wrinkles.The lady was gentle and warm in the past. She had always looked at Marina with a warm gaze, giving Marina a wholesome childhood.Hence, Marina treasured this lady the most in her life. This lady was her mother, and no one could replace her.However, everything changed after the car accident happened. Looking at that lady's face, Marina knew how cruel this lady was and realized how foolish she had been.Tears ran down Marina's cheeks. Her voice was hoarse. "Don't you love Dad? Why did you stage your death and plot all of this?""Love?" Helen Gibson grinned like a madwoman. Like a loving mother, she caressed Mar
Chapter 391
The castle-like mansion was massive and empty, so empty that one could hear his footsteps echoing against the walls.It was late at night. There were a few ancient wall lamps lit up, barely lighting up the darkness.A piano sound broke the silence, filling the mansion. It was the famous song "The Dream Wedding".Listening to the song in an eerie castle in the middle of the night was scary. It would've been a relaxing song if it was played in any other venues.Accompanied by the song, Chris ascended the stairs.He found it odd to meet up with the mysterious leader of Toxic Hive this way.Ethan, who was forced to stay in the yard, hid under the roof. He knew where the nearby surveillance cameras were.Hacking a surveillance camera was easy for him. It took him a few minutes to dysfunction them. The only scene that was shown on the surveillance footage should be the original scene.Ethan, who had observed the castle's structure, sneaked into the first floor through a pipeline.

Olivia was following Avery side by side. They were wearing the same mask.He had changed his sapphire ring into a green chrysoberyl ring. As she entered the castle, she could hear the piano playing from the rooftop. Two crows happened to fly over them.The dim lights made the Rosa flowers appear somehow eerie. It was almost summer, but Olivia's skin crawled when the wind blew.Avery lowered his voice. "Don't be afraid. Just follow me closely. You don't have to do or say anything later on."She hummed softly in response. After all, she was just here to confirm Leia's identity.The piano sounds suddenly stopped, and pin-drop silence filled the area.A man and a woman were running toward them.When they drew closer, Olivia noticed that they were wearing masks.Regardless, she managed to recognize them. It was Ryan and Jennifer.At this moment, Olivia was glad that she was wearing a mask, as it hid her vehement emotions.The fact that these two were here proved that she was get

Soon, the door swung open. Olivia tightly grasped the hem of her sleeves.There was a switch between Olivia and Leia's positions.Olivia had found out that Leia was the mastermind, but Leia was clueless about Olivia's presence.Now that they were going to meet up in person, Olivia couldn't help but feel nervous.A woman in a white dress entered the room. She was tall and skinny.She was wearing a mask, but her exposed skin was as fair as snow.The sheer look of her figure alone was enough for others to guess how gorgeous the face under that mask was.Judging from how she was walking like a normal person, it seemed like she had been pretending to be a janitor who had a problem with her legs. She had even darkened her face to avoid grabbing unwanted attention.The breeze fluttered the hem of her dress, giving off the impression that she was a gentle and kind woman.Begonia stopped three meters away from Avery. Her voice was hoarse when she said, "Mr. Y, I heard that you were l

The dim light in the room shone upon Leia's face. Before this, Olivia had pictured Leia's face multiple times in her head.Judging from what Leia had done in the past, Olivia expected her to look evil and distorted.In reality, however, Leia had perfectly inherited the good looks from the Millers. She resembled her mother.Her face shape looked barely the same as Ethan's, but they looked like twins.Her features were sharp, and her long hair made her look cheerful. If Olivia hadn't known what Leia had done, she would have mistaken her for an innocent college student. The truth had finally come to light. Olivia had guessed it right. Leia was the mastermind!Her family, Jeff, and everything that she had suffered throughout the past two years crossed Olivia's mind.The sheer thought of those made Olivia want to carve Leia's heart out and devour every part of her body.Olivia had never done Leia any harm. Why would Leia do that to her?As of today, the bedridden Jeff had yet
