Chapter 91
“I got beaten up.”
“By who?”
Olivia felt a trace of pain in her heart when she saw his shocked expression, she snorted. “You.”
John looked at her coldly without saying anything, but his look seemed to have exposed his thoughts. “That’s a lie, have I ever beaten you before?‘
She endured the pain in the bottom of her heart and said, “Johnny, it’s not the first or second time you beat me up
… Among these wounds, some were from you whereas the
rest were from the people that you ordered to assault
me.”
Olivia did not know what to feel at that moment.
Was it pain, despair, or resentment?
It seemed to be all of them combined at the same time
not.
Ever since the miscarriage two years ago, she had been in
a complicated state until now.
He was the man who loved her more than himself for 17
years, the man who saved her life, and it was impossible for her to just let go of him as if it was nothing. Maybe she was indeed pathetic just like what he called her.
John lifted her chin slightly and forced eye contact
between the two.
“From the prison?”
“Yeah, people have been beating me up since I went in
there and they said that you were the one who ordered
them to do so.”
Olivia smiled bitterly. “Johnny, you have been so ruthless.
towards me.”
She was not sure if it was a wrong impression, but she seemed to have noticed a trace of sympathy flashing
through John’s eyes.
She raised her left hand. “My hand was stepped on by Dorothy wearing a pair of red heels, and she said that it was a gift from you.”
That being said, she laughed at herself again. “But
Johnny, I know you won’t believe it.”
John’s eyes turned back to normal and he said coldly,
Dolly will not do such things.”
“Why?”
‘Why does he always believe in Dorothy, is it because of
to find out the truth of my parents‘ death too.”
“I’ll give it to you if you behave well.”
Olivia was in slight disbelief and her starry eyes were dazed as she asked, “Johnny, are you being serious?”
“Yes.”
That being said, John changed his shirt and walked out
with a coat in his hand.
The room became empty, as if the man was never here
and it was just a dream.
Olivia turned to look out of the window, the sky was
covered with stars and the moon was fascinating to the point where it looked surreal.
Just like how gentle John was at night.
‘It’s just a dream.‘
Probably because she was too tired, Olivia fell asleep not long after.
When she woke up, she got a call from Zac.
“Did Johnny cause trouble for you?”
His voice was very gentle, which was completely different
from John’s icy cold tone.
