NovelEnglishChapter 1519
Olivia's children had faith in her the most.
Thus, Willow believed that Olivia had her reasons for acting so out of character.
Sean was equally dubious as well, but he brushed it off since she always took care of him whenever they were out.
He trusted her after spending twith her for a week.
In addition to that, she had a daughter.
Hence, he didn't look too much into her actions.
Still, it was undeniable that their actions appeared intimate to others.
Olivia secretly observed Claire, whose eyes flashed with something evil.
Their eyes met, and Claire quickly shifted her gaze.
As Olivia had expected, something was up with Claire.

Crickets sang, and the dogs barked sometimes.
After the meal, the bodyguards patrolled the area before getting into the cars for a break, leaving only two to watch the night.
Olivia asked Claire to prepare warm water so that Sean could have a foot spa as usual, but the usual acupuncture procedure was replaced by a massage.
Claire entered the room right when Olivia and Sean were looking at each other like a lovely couple.
Her hands beside her balled into fists.
“Anything, Mrs.Powell?" Olivia read Claire's eyes.
Claire responded, “I received news that electricity in the village will go out soon.It's different from the cities.
"I was worried that you might not get used to the darkness, so I cto remind you."
"I see.Let's call it a day then."
Olivia withdrew her hands, wondering what Claire was plotting.
Claire kindly walked Olivia back to her room.
“The nights in the mountains are not that peaceful, Dr.Fordham.Wild boars might go down the mountains to hunt for food.
“They're dangerous.You have a kid, so it's best not to step outside."
“Okay, thank you for the heads-up.Good night."
Olivia closed the door.She realized that something was off.
Claire should be in her 50s.
As someone who worked in the field, she should have a hunched back.
She would slightly bend her back in front of people, but she walked fast like a youngster would whenever she was alone.
Olivia took a closer look at Claire's skin.
Although Claire's face and hand were covered with saggy wrinkles, her neck was smooth! Forget about the youngsters in the villages; the women in the cities might not be free from wrinkles around their necks despite their good skincare routine.
The clues were hinting that the old lady wasn't the true Claire! There were traces of people living in this old house.
Something crossed Olivia's mind.
Willow pulled Olivia's hand before making a gesture.

"I know."
The food was drugged.
As herb-imbued people, both of them were sensitive to drugs.
Not even a poison of that little dosage could harm them.
Let alone drugs.
Nevertheless, she didn't expose Claire during the meal.
Footsteps could be heard coming from outside.
They exchanged glances before closing their eyes, pretending to be asleep.
The windows of the houses in a village were structured simply.
Olivia could hear the sound of ruffles and feel a gaze on her.
The person closed the windows after making sure that Olivia and Willow were deep asleep.
Once the person left the room, Olivia's eyes shot open.
Thus, the show began.
