Olivia was preparing for the surgery as Sean's condition improved, thanks to the treatments. Comment by soonyoung gu: the author keeps writing everything but ethan and olivia lol what happened to corpse bride :skull:
He turned over a new leaf, no longer dwelling on the unfortunate past.
His goal was aligned with Avery's—they were striving to find out who the mastermind was.
Sean's improving condition put Troy at ease. Troy cleaned out his stuff and returned to his work.
It was only Troy left that Olivia shifted her gaze from him.
"Why did you keep staring at Troy, Dr. Fordham? Are you suspecting him? You stayed with him quite often these days. Did you find anything?"
Instead of answering that question, she questioned back, "Do you think that he is the one?"
"Nope. Troy's been a reticent man since he was young. He's crazy about drawings and handicrafts. Designing is his whole world.
"Once, he flew to Arlandia just to learn double-sided embroidery in person. It took him six months.
"He even spent a fortune on a gemstone to craft it himself. Spent a whole year on that.
"I don't think a workaholic and hobby fanatic like him would have the time to plot something like this.
"Besides, our father intended to hand over the company to him that year. It surprised him so much that he went to a small village by the borders overnight to learn a unique stitching.
"He calls himself a lost cause."
Olivia frowned. "Is it possible that he's doing this to mislead everyone? He spends time outdoors often. Who knows what he did out there?"
If the mastermind were one of the Fordhams, Troy held the most suspicions.
But Sean disagreed, "It is true that one can hide their ulterior motives, but Troy has been crazy about crafting since he was three.
"While his peers were playing with toy blocks, he could craft nicely made skyscrapers. You can't say that he knew how to act since he was in Mom's belly, can you?
Sean murmured, "Jacqueline… I don't think she is the one either."
Having said that, he lost the confidence he had while judging Troy and Vox.
"Why not?"
"She was a premature baby because Mom got into trouble in another country. I heard that it was a very dangerous night.
"She lost a lot of blood, and we almost lost both of them. Dad even personally sought revenge for it.
"When she recovered, she was barren. Otherwise, we're sure we would've had more siblings. They loved each other a lot.
"Since Jacqueline was a premature baby, she was born weak. She stayed in the incubator for two months before we could take her home.
"We care for her the most because her body is weak. She grew up with love. Why would she set this up?"
