Chapter 883
After all this, Fabian suggested that everyone take a break and have some tea before continuing the meeting in half an hour.
Everyone had no opinion on this, so they left the conference room.
Olivia followed Zac to the lounge next door. After pushing him to a corner of the room, she sat on the sofa far from him.
She did not look at Zac at all.
First of all, she was not a forgiving person. Every time she saw Zac, it would remind her of Jess. It broke her heart to think of how Jess died.
“Liv…”
Zac controlled his wheelchair and brought himself to Olivia. “I’m sorry. Do you want to hear my explanation?”
Olivia did not lift her head. “I gave you a chance that day. It was you who did not grasp it and chose to remain silent. If you explain now, it would only sound like you’re making up stories.”
“N-No. I was in a panic back then.”
“It doesn’t matter anymore.”
She looked up at Zac and said, “Zac, forget it. You know, no matter how you explain it, the fact is that you traded Jess’ life for mine. You knew it from the beginning, but you didn’t tell me.”
“I…”
“Zac, let’s not talk about anything else. You could have at least handed the letter to me, but you did not.”
Olivia sighed. “Four years, Zac, four years. You had many opportunities to tell me, but you hid it. I asked you to help me to find Jess’ daughter, but you told me she was dead. Now, I even suspect you were lying to me about that. Did she die?”
She looked into Zac’s eyes, her gaze filled with complicated emotions. ” Zac, is she really dead?”
Zac frowned, thinking about how to tell Olivia. Just as he was about to speak, someone opened the door, and Dorothy entered the lounge.
“Since you both are here, I have something to tell you.”
Olivia looked at Dorothy warily. “I don’t think we have anything to talk about.”
“You’d better listen to what I came to say before you retort me, Phoebe, or I’m afraid you’ll regret it!”
Dorothy sneered. “How about we make a deal?”
“Don’t beat about the bush if you have something to tell us.”
Olivia had little patience for her. She would have killed Dorothy for the second time if not for the law.
“You remember you have a daughter, don’t you, Phoebe?” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Hearing the word ‘daughter’ made Olivia panic, and she darted up from the sofa. “What did you do?”
“You don’t seem to know about your daughter’s visit to Ocean City.”
Lyla was in Ocean City?
“Don’t you dare do anything to her, Dorothy!”
“Heh! My request is very simple. Transfer your shares to me and help me to M
Dorothy pointed at Zac. “Eliminate him from the game and I’ll return your daughter.”
“You!”
“Your daughter is so young and cute. I can sell her for a few bucks. After all, I don’t want her to die.”
“Dorothy, how dare you?! How could you involve a kid in the matter between adults?”
Dorothy scoffed and said, “If I were you, I would agree immediately. After all, a kid who stays in that kind of environment might not… stay alive for long.”
“How dare you?!” Olivia rushed to Dorothy and strangled her, pinning her to the wall. “If you dare hurt my daughter, I’ll kill you!”
“I’m not afraid of you. Olivia hit me with her car four years ago, but she didn’t kill me. God is protecting me. What can you do to me?”
Mentioning the incident four years ago, Olivia’s anger rose, and she exerted more strength on her grip. She wanted to strangle Dorothy to death.
Just then, her phone rang.
“Miss, something bad happened. Sam is missing.”
“What?”
Sam was missing, too?
She glared coldly at Dorothy, tightening her grip on the phone.
It must be Dorothy!
