Chapter 139
While John was standing in the doorway, Olivia was sitting on the floor, getting something from the
nightstand.
She paused for a moment after each item. It was as if she were sorrowful and
reluctant.
When her fingers touched the red box, her hands shook suddenly.
Olivia opened the box and looked at the shiny ring in it, tears welling up again.
It was the diamond ring John had asked an internationally renowned jeweler to prepare for their marriage
proposal three years ago.
All these years, she treated it like a treasure. Afraid to damage it, she put it away.
Olivia took the ring out, put it on her finger, held her hand up, and studied it for a moment, smiling.
“But Johnny’s not coming back, and neither can we go back to how it used to be. And you… are just
going to be a part of my past.

She mumbled to herself as if she were telling a story to the ring.
After a while, she looked down at the ring and sobbed. “But there are no ifs in this world. Johnny doesn’t
love me anymore. He changed.”
“I thought of getting him to fall in love with me again, but I failed. He seems to increasingly hate me and
wants me dead…”
With that said, she put the ring back in the box and put the box on the ground.
She needed to purchase Larson’s Residence, but she had no money, and John had cut off her financial
resources. Therefore, she could only sell her jewelry, including the ring symbolizing her and John’s love.
Suddenly, Olivia paused, looked at the photo, and froze.
She already knew who saved her 17 years ago, so she entered John’s high school and secretly followed
him.
The photo was taken secretly at the time. John was very handsome in it. He had deep features and an
angular silhouette, but he was happier back then.
It was a wonderful time…
Olivia’s tears hit the photo, and the splatter brought her back to reality.
The heart-wrenching pain made her clench her fist and pat her chest.
How did this happen?
Just then, an unlocking noise was heard downstairs. Then Zyla’s and Wes’s voices
rang.
John quickly collected himself, rushed into the study, and closed the door as if he did not see what he
had just seen.
However, the image of Olivia beating her chest over an unfamiliar photo haunted his mind.
Who was that man in the photo?
It was probably the one she had longed for and loved for 17 years!
Sensing someone coming, Olivia dabbed her tears with the back of her hand. Then she put the photo

“Sis Liv.”
Olivia froze when she saw Zyla. “Zyla? Why are you here?”
Zyla pointed to Wes. “Jerk John’s assistant asked me to come and take care Sis Liv. Now I won’t have to
worry until I can’t sleep.”
Olivia’s heart melted as she took her hand. “You little girl.”
Then she turned to look at Wes. “Thank you.”
“Madam, it’s my job.”
“But will John give you a hard time?”
Wes froze. “Give me a hard time?”

you,
“Yeah, he’d give you a hard time if he knew you sent Zyla behind his back, wouldn’t
he?”
Wes blinked his eyes. It appeared that there had been a deeper misunderstanding between Madam and
Sir than he thought.
“Sir..”
