Chapter 362
Olivia’s heart felt like it had been stabbed and cold air was flooding the open wound, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.
She just stood in place, watching as John adjusted Dorothy’s dress hem and waited for her to link her arm through his and walk towards Olivia.
Was this the clearing of air he had mentioned?
Coincidentally, Dorothy lifted her head, looked at Olivia, and leaned onto John. Then, she smiled at Olivia smugly.
Zyla glared at Dorothy and John coldly and yanked Olivia into the ballroom.
“Jerk! B*stard! He’s looking for trouble, isn’t he?”
Zyla turned abruptly to Ken and glared daggers at him. “Ken Lucas! Did you know about this? Did you do it on purpose?”
Ken was about to cry. He swore in his heart to never do John any favors again from now on!
John was not worth it!
He had tricked him. Again!
“I really didn’t know. Maybe he has his own reasoning….
Zyla scoffed coldly. “Ken Lucas, don’t you think your explanation makes you sound really guilty?”
Of course Ken knew! However, what else was he supposed to say?
“Forget it.” Olivia tugged Zyla’s hand. “I think Ken was tricked.”
Ken nodded immediately. “Yes! I was tricked! Damn it!”
Sadly, Zyla did not buy it. She tugged Olivia by the hand and walked towards the bar area. “You hungry, Sis Liv? Let’s go have some cake.”
Olivia’s chest was heavy and uncomfortable, so she grabbed a glass of alcohol and downed it immediately.
That got Zyla really worried. She said, “Sis Liv, let’s go for a walk, shall we?”
“Why should we go for a walk? We’re not done watching the drama yet, so why should we leave?”
Olivia’s nails dug deep into her palm. She suppressed her emotions and downed another glass.
Her heart was in pieces.
“You!”
Dorothy lifted her hand and was about to slap Zyla when she grabbed her hand in midair. “You’re a snake. Sis Liv was so good to you, and this is how you repay her?”
“Let go of me!” Dorothy’s face was contorted with rage.
“Let go?” Zyla snickered. “Sure!”
Immediately, she threw a glass of red wine into Dorothy’s face.
Before she could react, Zyla grabbed another glass and threw it at her face again.
Then, a resounding slap landed on Dorothy’s face. “Dorothy Ellis, I advice you to stop bullying Sis Liv, or you’ll get it from me!”
Dorothy was panicking. She lost her composure as she shrieked, “Zyla Jones, I…!”
Suddenly, a deep voice rang out. “What’s going on here?”
Dorothy immediately retracted her contorted expression and looked carefully at John. Then, she cried, Save me, Johnny! She threw wine in my face, and she slapped me…”
As Zyla watched how protective John was over Dorothy, she pulled Olivia behind her and yelled, “You’re a b*tch, and you’re a b*stard! What a match made in heaven!”
