Chapter 386
The apartment.
Dorothy had just entered the room when she heard someone knocking.
Smug, she hummed a little song and opened the door.
However, her expression stiffened when she saw who it was. “Johnny, what are you doing here?”
“It’s my house. Can’t I come?”
Dorothy chuckled dryly. “I didn’t mean that. I just thought you were…”
Before she could finish, John looked at her coldly and asked maliciously, “Did you do that to Zyla?”
“Zyla?”
Dorothy quickly took his arm and said coquettishly, “Johnny, even you are doubting me? You said you would believe me.”
John threw her hand away without hesitation, his body exuding a cold pressure.
“Don’t challenge my patience. I’ve given you enough trust.”

The trail of what happened that night went cold.

Zyla’s voice pulled Olivia out of her trance.
She gathered her thoughts and went to the dining table, “I’ve taken my medicine.”
With that said, she smiled and took Zyla’s hand. “Instead of picking up lan today, I’d like to see a movie. with you. What do you think?”
Zyla was overjoyed. “Really? Alright.”
Olivia pursed her lips as she looked at her smiling face.
