Chapter 216
After taking the painkillers, Olivia had a thirty-minute rest in the hotel to recover.
She took out her phone and saw more than ten missed calls from Zyla.
She still had not managed to retrieve Uncle Wallace’s body, and her heart was aching, but she refused to
let Zyla be worried too.
She cleared her throat and called her back.
“Sis Liv, where are you? Why aren’t you picking up your phone?”
“The smell is too strong at home, so I went out for a walk. I’ll be back soon.”
Luckily Zyla did not pick up on anything suspicious. “Yeah, that’s true. I guess we don’t have a choice
since the pipe burst last night. I called the plumber to fix it late, but it was at night, so that’s why the smell
is still there. If you’re uncomfortable with the smell, why don’t you stay at the hotel tonight?”
“It’s fine. I’m coming back soon.”
“Hmm, alright. Be quick, okay? I bought some chicken to make chicken soup for you with.”
“Okay.”
Olivia let out a sigh of relief after hanging up. Just as she got up and walked out, her phone rang again.

She did not hesitate to decline the call.
There was nothing the two of them had left to discuss now that the divorce agreement was in Dorothy’s
hands. Their status as husband and wife would be gone in no time.
Thinking of this, she could not help but snort.
‘Seventeen years… What have I been doing for the past seventeen years?’
She failed to honor her parents, she failed to protect her younger brother and the Larson family, and she
could not even keep the only man she loved by her side.
How pathetic.
With that thought, she returned to Golden Hills Apartment in a daze.
When she reached downstairs, she saw a familiar Maybach.
The man was simply leaning against the car, but he still commanded attention.
John was handsome and had an elegant temperament which made him the star of the show, no matter
where he was. That was probably the reason why Olivia fell for
him.
‘But what is he doing here?
‘To continue yesterday’s unfinished argument?
‘Or did Dorothy try to get in between us by badmouthing me again?’
John noticed her immediately. He put out the cigarette in his hand and said coldly,” Get in the car.”
Olivia did not move. She stood a few feet away from him, staring at him.
“Why should I?”
John walked toward her with his long legs, grabbed her wrist, and stuffed her into the passenger seat
without another word.
She was unwilling to follow him and wanted to open the door and leave, but she felt a murderous gaze
staring at her, so she stopped moving.
Seeing that she stopped moving, John went to open the driver’s car door and sat
inside.
“Mr. Freeman, what do you want? Do you want to beat me up or imprison me again?”
John glanced at her coldly and asked, “Olivia, do you really want me to beat you up?”
“Are you crazy? No one likes to get beat up. I’m not a masochist.”

Hearing that, she looked at him in disbelief.
‘1 deserved it?
‘What did I do to deserve it?
‘Was it because I fought back when Dorothy slapped me?’
She raised her hand and covered her chest, suppressing the pain in her heart.
“John, if the day comes when you finally realize that Dorothy Ellis is not who you think she is, will you
beat her?”
“You and Dolly are different.”
“Different? She’s very different indeed. I’m a devil, while she’s an angel. John, what were you thinking
back then that made you want to get close to this devil?”
Olivia snorted. “If you didn’t get close to me, I wouldn’t have fallen for you. You wouldn’t have become
my devil, and I wouldn’t be the devil in your heart either.”
If John did not appear on that day seventeen years ago, she might not have ever seen sunlight again.
However, it was better to never see the sun than to see it but have it be taken away in the end.
