Chapter 34
Olivia’s heart shuddered, knowing she could not explain herself again.
John would probably not believe her even if she told him everything.
In the middle of the standoff, Dorothy lay in John’s arms and cried, “Johnny, please don’t blame Liv for
this. It’s me… It’s because of me… I saw something I shouldn’t have seen. That’s why she strangled
me.”
“She strangled you?”
John looked at Dorothy’s neck and saw visible finger marks on her fair and flawless skin. His gaze
darkened, and he questioned sternly, “Olivia, did you strangle her?”
Knowing she could not deny it, Olivia took a deep breath and nodded. “Yes, I did. It’s because…”
Before she could finish, John snapped at her. “Dorothy, tell me why she strangled you!”
Dorothy glanced at Olivia cautiously, then looked at John with fear. She bit her lips. “Johnny, it’s alright.
I’m fine. Let’s forget about it. Pretend you didn’t see that, okay?” “Speak!”
John only said one word, yet it suffocated Olivia.
She knew Dorothy would twist the truth.

noise in the living room. I came out and saw…’
”
She paused, frowning as if she did not want to say more. Johnny, I-I can’t say anymore. If I continue, Liv
might hate me forever. I …don’t want that to happen.”
Dorothy’s acting was so impressive that even Olivia almost believed her.
However, John had no intention of letting it go. He stared at Olivia and demanded, “Tell me!”
Zac could no longer remain silent. He tried to explain. John, I can tell you the truth if you want to know.
It’s because…”

“When I turned on the light, I saw Mr. Quinton walk in. with Liv in his arms, and they kissed on the
sofa…”
They spoke at the same time, and Dorothy’s voice was louder than Zac’s.
A sudden silence fell upon the room.
John could not bear it anymore. He pushed Dorothy away and dashed toward Zac, pulling Olivia out of
his embrace.
‘He squinted his eyes and looked at her with a warning gaze. “Well, Olivia. You cheated on me when you
were pregnant, and now you’re doing it again when you’re ill.
Are you that desperate for another man?”
He reached out and grabbed her jaw. “Am I not enough for you, or are you just a sl*t?”
Olivia knew Dorothy would accuse her of something she
had not done. However, she did not expect Dorothy to accuse her of cheating. She was startled and did
not know how to speak up for herself.
“John! Dorothy is lying. Olivia and I are here to save someone.”
“Save someone?”
John sneered. “You came to the peninsula to save someone? Is someone being murdered here? Why
don’t I know about it, then?”
“You have to ask Dorothy. Perhaps she can answer you.”
“Zac!” John raised his voice, “You’re a lawyer, and you’re telling me Dorothy is trying to kill someone on

Zac was about to attempt to convince John when he heard him scoff. “It’s ridiculous!”
“John…”
“Zac, I have no time to deal with you regarding all this nonsense. Get lost!”
“Johnny, it’s Uncle Wallace… Dorothy has Uncle Wallace with her. I came here to save him. Please help
me save
Uncle Wallace.”
Olivia tried to calm herself down and begged John. ” Please, trust me this one time, okay?”
“Trust you?”
Olivia nodded.
John looked at her with disgust. “Olivia, do you think I’m a fool? Uncle Wallace has gone back to the
countryside. Is he here? Can’t you at least think of a good lie the next time you try to pull your tricks?”
Olivia tried to explain, but she saw Dorothy smiling triumphantly at her from behind John.
Suddenly, disappointment struck Olivia, and she did not want to explain anymore.
Uncle Wallace was probably not in the house. Otherwise, Dorothy would not be so calm.
Olivia would have to go elsewhere to find him. She could not waste more time with John.
Not knowing where she found the courage, she grabbed Zac and pleaded with tears shimmering in her
eyes. “Mr. Quinton, please take me away. Will you please take me to look for Uncle Wallace?”
