Chapter 35
Olivia’s actions undoubtedly further provoked John.
His expression changed, and he grabbed Olivia’s neck. “I dare you to say that again, Olivia!”
Olivia’s face was flushed from being strangled. She found it difficult to breathe, and the bloody taste in
her throat made her feel nauseous.
“John! Let go!”
Zac punched John, forcing him to loosen his grip on Olivia’s neck. Then, he grabbed Olivia, who was on
the verge of dying.
“Are you trying to kill her? Do you know she is…?”
Before Zac could finish, Olivia tugged on Zac’s clothes
and shook her head, signaling for him not to say another
word.
Then, she whispered in a voice only Zac could hear, “Take me with you…”
Olivia just wanted to get out of here. This place was suffocating her.
She had no strength to continue this gith with John. It was draining her little remaining energy…
However, before Olivia could leave the house, her vision
went black, and she fainted.

Zac picked her up and glared at John. “I’ll take her back to the hospital. You can look for me there if you
want to settle this matter with me.”
John wanted to snatch Olivia back, but Dorothy grabbed his arms.
“Johnny, let Mr. Quinton take her back to the hospital. I saw that her face was so pale that she could
hardly walk steadily…”
It was as if she was telling John that Olivia was still
thinking about betraying him even when she was already half dead.
John clenched his fist and glared at Olivia’s pale face, but he said nothing more.
Olivia woke up on their way back to the hospital.
She covered her mouth and coughed frantically as soon as she woke up.
After a bout of coughing, Olivia took her hand away and looked down. Bright red blood stained her palm.
Zac frowned and handed Olivia a tissue. “Tell Johnny about what’s happening. Why are you keeping it a
secret from him?”
Olivia smiled. “Mr. Quinton, do you think Johnny will be
shocked if I suddenly die?”
Zac was stunned and did not answer her.
He thought Olivia would know the answer better than him.
Zac saw the blood Olivia had spat out and wanted to send her to the hospital as soon as possible.
However, he heard Olivia saying, “Mr. Quinton, I’m so sorry I involved you in this matter. Your reputation
is ruined because of me.”
Zac felt sorry for her when he heard her apology.
“Don’t say that. It’s always you who suffers.” Then, he paused before he continued. “Don’t worry. I’ll
explain to John what happened.”
Olivia sneered and shook her head. “It’s useless. He
would not have already suspected me if he was willing to listen to our explanation.”
Then, she weakly turned her head toward Zac. “He only believes what Dorothy tells him.”
It was as if Olivia’s heart had been torn apart. The pain caught her off guard, and she could not stop
herself from coughing again.
She has explained many times, but he had not believed in her even once…
‘Why won’t he give me even one chance?
‘What about the last three years we spent together? What
about the sweet life and love we shared?
‘When did it turn into misery?’
Zac noticed her depressed mood and did not mention John again. He changed the subject and asked,

‘Uncle Wallace…’
After the Larson family went bankrupt, she cut off many connections. This made it even more difficult to
even find
the man.
When Zac saw Olivia leaning against the window saying nothing, he added. “Let me know if you need
me. I can help you with this.”
Even though Olivia did not want to trouble Zac, she had no choice now.
She looked at him and pursed her lips. “Thank you, Mr.. Quinton, for helping me this much.”
“It’s a matter of life and death. You don’t have to thank me,” He looked at her over his shoulder and
asked, ” Dorothy used to be the Larson family’s foster daughter. Is that true?”
Startled, Olivia nodded. “Well, yes, but her identity as an adopted daughter only lasted a year. Then, my
mother ‘got pregnant. So, she sent Dorothy back to the Ellis family. However, we still gave her money
every year and supported her until she graduated from college.”
She also did not skimp out on all the high society balls. She always took Dorothy with her.
Zac did not know much about their family matters. However, after confronting her that night, he knew
Dorothy was not a kind woman, yet John trusted her.
“Are you going to continue your relationship with Johnny?”
