Chapter 44
John frowned and clenched the hands dangling at his side.
The woman was so capable of angering him with one word!
He did not want to let it bother him at first that night. However, he suddenly asked Wes to return after
passing by two blocks.
He wanted to see what this woman was up to despite her
wounds.
However, they lost her halfway down the road. It was not until they stopped the returning taxi driver that
they learned Olivia had gone to West Village.
John knew what place West Village was very well.
For some reason, he felt a pang in his heart and made Wes speed toward there.
However, he saw a building on fire when he arrived.
Without thinking twice, he rushed in to save her and took her to the hospital.

Even he did not know why he had rushed in at that
moment to save the woman he hated so much!
However, he did not bother to explain.
Seeing the disdain on her face, he instantly became furious. He raised his hand to grasp her jaw,
questioning, “Olivia, what are you doing in West Village?”
Olivia did not know what was wrong with her either. She was thinking about this man before she died, but
Uncle Wallace’s words played in her ears like a curse.
‘Dorothy. It’s Dorothy who killed Uncle Wallace and even tried to burn me alive.
‘But will the man believe me?
‘No!’
Therefore, instead of her usual bitterness, Olivia smiled and replied, “Do you believe I was there to meet
a man?”
“Olivia!”
He yelled coldly.
“Johnny, do you know how many years I’ve loved you? It’s not 4 years. It’s 17!”
John froze. ’17 years?
‘It’s four years. What 17 years?
Olivia saw his surprise but did not explain it. “We’ve known each other for four years. We were married
for three years and are enemies for two.
“Johnny, the whole time we’re married, you hated me more than you loved me.”
It made John’s heart shudder as if it had been pricked by something.
He grasped harder and made a handprint on Olivia’s fair jaw. Then he asked, ‘Who are you meeting?
Which man are you meeting? Do you have to be this cheap? Are you forcing me to lock you up?”
“Johnny, I told you I didn’t cheat on you two years ago. You didn’t believe me. Will you believe me if I tell
you Dorothy tricked me into going to West Village?

The more stubborn Olivia became, the more annoyed John became, and he slapped her. Before she
knew it, his long hands had already grabbed her neck as he pressed her onto the bed.
“Olivia, could your reason be any worse? Dolly wants to burn you to death? Why would she do that?”
‘Why?’
John was getting harder and harder for Olivia to understand. ‘Isn’t it obvious why?
‘Is he really stupid?’
She smiled wryly. ‘How could John be stupid?

‘It’s just that he thinks I’m a liar and a wicked woman.’
Olivia grabbed John’s wrist and pressed it down hard. She smiled as her eyes seemed defiant.
John paused and loosened his hand immediately. He
looked at her in disgust. “Olivia, do you want to die? No way! I told you I wouldn’t let you die. I want you
to live in pain!”
Olivia coughed several times and swallowed the blood in her throat.
“John, I went to West Village to meet a man. The men outside are better than you in every way!”
