Chapter 124 Dorothy was stunned. She was so angry that she forgot all about minding her image.
She shook off Wesâs grip and smoothed down her clothes. âIf you say anything to John, Iâll make sure you pay for what you did.â
Wes nodded. âDidnât you say that I was only Johnâs dog? If so, why would Mrs. Freeman listen to me? You donât have to worry about that, Ms. Ellis.â
âYou!â
Wes said nothing more and walked out.
He had delivered what John ordered him to convey. The rest was not important.
However, what he saw today frightened him.
Over the past two years, Dorothy had hidden her viciousness so well that even he did not notice it. Only today did he realize Dorothy was an unreasonable and demanding woman, unlike Olivia, who was way better in character.
After Wes left, Dorothy was in despair.
âJohn said he wanted to divorce that b*tch. Why is he spending the night with her, then?
âNo! We canât let this go any further!â
She made a call. âGet ready for tomorrow. I need you to do something for me.â
After hanging up the call, Dorothy sneered. âOlivia, Iâll make sure you lose everything this time!â
When Olivia got up the following day, John was not by her side anymore.
When she left the bedroom, she saw a bowl of porridge on the dining table. However, she frowned and did not eat it.
John was always like this, comforting her after beating her up.
Ever since she was locked inside this little black hut, her anticipation for his gentleness reduced, and it gradually turned into despair.
If not for the sake of taking revenge on Dorothy, she might have signed those divorce papers and run away.
She did not divorce John because she wanted to get revenge on Dorothy. However, she was unsure if she was punishing herself or Dorothy now.
After dressing up, Olivia took Aaronâs business card and went out.
When she opened the door, she saw two bodyguards standing in the doorway. Even though they were wearing sunglasses, she knew they were staring at her.
âDid Johnny ask you guys to watch me?â
âYes, Mrs. Freeman.â
âFollow me, then.â
Olivia asked her bodyguards to drive her into the city center and started shopping. However, she did not buy anything.
She looked at the time. It was eleven oâclock, so she went to the bathroom.
âWait a minute,â She pointed at the sign next to her: âThis is the womenâs toilet. Even if Iâm the only one there, are you sure you want to watch me go in there? Iâm afraid Johnny will get jealous.â
The bodyguards both knew it would be inappropriate, so they turned around and walked out.
Olivia ran into the toilet and changed her clothes and shoes. Then, she pushed open the window, climbed up, ran outside, and hailed a taxi.
Upon arriving at Aaronâs office, she looked for a place to change her clothes and headed upstairs.
Aaron saw her coming, and he was startled. Then, he took Olivia to his office, feeling awkward.
âOlivia, about that matter...â
Olivia noticed the awkwardness on his face. âHas the matter been settled, or can you not give the job to me?â
âIâm sorry... Olivia, I canât give it to you.â
âWhy?â
Aaron tried to avoid eye contact with Olivia and did not dare answer her.
She was struck with the memory of what John said the night before. âDid John look. for you?â
âYes... Sorry.â
Aaron was a little panicked. âMaybe you can look for Mr. Coal...â
Not wanting to pressure him, Olivia stood up. âItâs okay. I get it.â
âIâm really...â
âYou donât have to apologize anymore. I understand.â
Outside the building, Olivia sighed helplessly.
John seemed to be trying to cut out her source of money. It even made her wonder if it was because he did not want her to buy Larsonâs Residence.
She could not hail a taxi outside the building. So, she could only walk a distance to a busier street. Suddenly, a van pulled over in front of her. Someone covered her mouth and dragged her into the van.
