Chapter 156
Oi was taken aback. “Uncle Wallace left another copy? Mrs. Simmons, are you Bareferri to what my dad left behind?”
“Yes. He didn’t feel safe before he died, so he kept another copy.”
Mrs. Simmons sighed. “Miss, you shouldn’t blame yourself. Before he died, he had his fortune read. It told him that he might not return. I didn’t expect it to be true.”
“Uncle Wallace… Uncle Wallace was killed. If he hadn’t gone to Ocean City to look for
me, he wouldn’t have died.”
“That’s life. That ingrate Dorothy will be punished! Even back then, the old man said. she was unreliable. Unexpectedly, he fell headfirst into her hands.”
“Mrs. Simmons, Dorothy did more than that. I will avenge my parents and Uncle Wallace!”
Mrs. Simmons got up and handed a box to Olivia. “This is the copy Wallace left.”
Olivia opened the box with shaky hands and saw her mother’s autopsy report.
“She had poison in her body? She didn’t die from giving birth, she was poisoned…”
Olivia was stunned. She looked at the report again in disbelief. Then, her tears fell again.
‘Dorothy did kill Mom!
‘No wonder she also wanted Dad to die. It’s because he discovered this!”
Next was Hans’ suicide note.
[Liv, I’m sorry that I can’t give this letter to you myself and that I can’t remind you in time. I hid this letter among a mountain of documents because I was worried someone would discover it.]
[I know you’re close with Dorothy, but Liv, that girl has something up her sleeve. You have to be careful.]
[I love you, and I will always love you until I die.]
[I have no choice but to kill myself. If I don’t die, Dorothy and John won’t spare you and lan. My life is worthless, and I’ve wanted to go see your mother for so long.]
Even if she were to die, she would seek revenge before she did!
She lifted her head to look at the time. It was already ten in the morning. There were nine more hours till the party at night.
“Mrs. Simmons, do you have a gown?”
“Yes. Before the bankruptcy, the old man took some, saying you might need them one day.”
Olivia bit her lip with tears in her eyes. Uncle Wallace was always so considerate.
She picked out a long red dress without needing to think much and took a few hundred dollars from Mrs. Simmons. After that, she gave Mrs. Simmons some instructions before leaving for Ocean City.
The party started officially at 7 PM.
Dorothy stood next to John in a long cream-colored dress. As she looked around, she felt pleased. This time, the position of Mrs. Freeman was in the bag for her.
Suddenly, the door opened, and a red dress dominated everyone’s vision.
