Two days later, while watching TV, Olivia suddenly received a call from Milo."Ms. James, there are updates on Wade's case."Olivia's eyes lit up upon hearing that it was related to Wade. She hurriedly asked, "Have you caught the murderer?"Milo sighed. "According to the reports, the suspect has been found. However, the case seemed quite tricky because the other party is quite influential in Ocean City.""Influential in Ocean City?"Olivia's heart skipped a beat. ‘Could it be him…’"Mr. Hulton, do you know who it is?"Milo was silent for a while. "You know that person. John Freeman, the president of the Freeman Group."As soon as the voice on the other end of the phone spoke, the news anchor on the TV said, "Recently, there have been frequent reports on President Freeman’s impending imprisonment. Along with the alleged reports of the two counts of contract murder by the President today, this has caused a massive crash in Freeman Group stock shares. Many high-level executives ha

"I will try my best to negotiate. I hope I can avoid going to court.""How do you plan to settle?"Xavier was silent for a while, then gently covered her with the quilt. He slowly sat on the edge of the bed, turned his head, and stared at her lightly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. "It depends on whether we can find the real murderer."The real murderer...Olivia's heart tightened inexplicably.‘If Fred testified against John, he would’ve been charged with this crime, right?‘Wouldn't this allow the real murderer to get away with it?‘Who could guarantee that the real culprit will not hurt Fred?’Xavier noticed her brows were furrowed tightly. He reached out and gently loosen her brows with his fingers."Pheebs, don't worry. You and your family will be fine with me. Trust me, okay?"Olivia's body froze, and she could not recompose herself for a long time.Up until now, she could only trust him. However, how could she put the lives of her whole family in Xavie

The trials for Oliver and Wade's cases were postponed a month later due to John being in a coma. This left Fred with another month of free time.Apart from taking care of Olivia daily, he had been sending the two children to and from school. Perhaps he felt that he had gone too far before, hence he tried to make up for it. Olivia saw all this, but she was still quietly worried about him."Freddy, what happened the night you were released on bail?"Fred was helping her peel apples. His hand stopped abruptly when he heard this, causing the knife to accidentally cut his finger. Blood flowed.Olivia was taken aback. She quickly used her clothes to apply pressure on his wound. "Be careful, Freddy! Why have you cut yourself?""Oh, it's okay. It doesn't hurt."Fred retracted his hand, sanitized his finger with alcohol, and wrapped it in a band-aid."Liv, it's just a tiny cut. You don't have to worry so much. What is this compared to what you’re going through?"‘These days, it's not

Olivia looked up quickly upon hearing that voice. She saw Lyla looking at her weakly. The moment Lyla saw her face, the little girl’s eyes suddenly lit up."Mommy! It's really you!"Then, Lyla’s bottom lip started to tremble as she began to cry aggrievedly. "Mommy, I miss you so much. Do you not want me anymore?"Olivia's heart twitched violently, and she hurriedly pulled her small body into her arms."Silly girl, why would Mommy not want you? Mommy can’t wait to give all my love to you, why would I not want Lyla?""But… Mommy, you haven’t been home for a long time, and you wouldn’t video call with me. I think Mommy doesn't want me anymore..."Lyla's every word pierced deeply like a thousand needles into Olivia's heart as she clenched her hands tightly."Mommy won't do this again. I will never do this again."With that said Olivia let go of Lyla and wiped away her daughter’s tears. "Lyla, does it still hurt?"Lyla shook her head. "With Mommy here, I’m not afraid of pain.""

After Ms. York left, Olivia leaned back on the wheelchair with downcast eyes and let out a long sigh.‘Could it be Hera again?‘I haven't heard from Hera for a long time since the last time we met on the street.‘Is she pacified now because John is in custody? Or is she just waiting in the shadows?’"Freddy, I'm a little hungry. Could you please help me buy something to eat? Could you buy some for Lyla as well?""Okay, stay right here and wait for me to come back."Olivia nodded obediently. "Well, I’ll stay here. I won’t go anywhere."As soon as Fred was out the door, Olivia took out her mobile phone, found Hera's number, and dialed it.To her surprise, the number she called turned out to be invalid.‘Invalid? How could it be an invalid number?’Then, she called Aaron Summers instead, but his phone was turned off...The last time she tried, she could not find Aaron, and now the numbers she had dialed were either invalid or turned off. This made her panic.‘Is something wron
