People eventually forgot about the little scene that the middle-aged woman caused at the counter earlier, fortunately. Though that did not mean that some of the people would stop throwing secret glances on the green-haired woman.Olivia let out a silent sigh as she slightly furrowed her eyebrows when she noticed how some of the people were either giggling or looking terrified while looking at the woman who was scrolling on her phone right across her.“So…” Dakota immediately lifted her gaze from the screen of her phone. “What are you doing here in the mall?”“For some business,” she simply answered as she slipped her phone back in her pocket.The blonde nodded in response, not wanting to be nosy about it. The memory of meeting Leo earlier kept reappearing in her mind as she thought of telling the woman across her about it though she was having hesitations about it for some reason. Dakota had never talked to her about Lia and Leo, so she could not completely confirm that they were in t

I know you wouldn’t die anyway.” Ruby let out a chortle.The green-haired woman internally rolled her eyes as she returned her gun back in her blazer. “So, what do you want? Don’t tell me you just called us here to try to kill us?”“What if that’s right?” The green-eyed woman playfully smirked as she stepped closer to the latter and dusted her blazer before resting her hands on the taller woman’s broad shoulders.“Just tell me what you want.”Ruby let out a chuckle in amusement at how short her rival’s patience was, and she loved it—she loved the fact that she was literally annoying her.Dakota just calmly stood still on her place even while Ruby was cares

Her hands could not stop fidgeting on her lap as she tried to be patient as possible while time continued to pass.Since Olivia had a huge resentment toward her father and stepmother, it easily spread to her whole family that she would never want to associate with any of her family if ever that was possible. None of them were either clueless on what was currently happening with Olivia and her parents or were just pretending to be clueless while still knowing what was going on—either way, none of them ever bothered reaching out to help her, to tell her father about how he was an awful father and that she should not be trapped under his shadow for the rest of her life.The blonde stopped fidgeting when she saw a familiar woman with a white pixie haircut on her way to her table. Whether she liked it or not, she had no choice but to stay connected with any of her family.“I know we sometimes talk in family events, but I don’t think we were ever that close for you to call me out of the blu
