Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife Chapter 163

Chapter 163 “It’s a little too long. If there is no substantial evidence, it’s pretty hard to get it in the books for investigation.”

The answer that Zac gave was within Olivia’s expectations. She lowered her head and her fingernails dug into the flesh of her palm. She thought about it for a few minutes before asking abruptly. “What if the body was dug out to be reexamined?”

Zac paused and turned to look at Olivia, surprised. He seemed to have connected the dots and asked, “Your mom?”

“Yeah.”

If she were to dig Mom’s body out once more, it was an abomination, and that required a lot of courage.

However, if doing so could put Dorothy behind bars, Olivia thought that Mom would most likely forgive her.

“Don’t you have the autopsy report?”

“This autopsy report is dated two years ago. Also... I think it’s easy to overrule a piece of paper unless we could get a hold of the forensic pathologist from all those years ago.”

“What was your mother’s cause of death at that time?”

“She died of childbirth,” Olivia answered as she bit her lips.

It had been thirteen years, and she had always believed that Mom died of childbirth. She had never expected that there could be another possibility.

At that time, Dorothy was merely a teenager, so how could Olivia possibly connect all the dots together?

Thirteen years. Olivia had befriended and lived with her mother’s murderer for the past thirteen years, and she had helped the murderer do what she wanted, killed her father and killed her child in the process, while the murderer snatched her husband away from her.

If Dorothy did not step in between Olivia and John’s marriage, Olivia probably would have continued to befriend her up till this date.

When Olivia thought of all these, her tears could not help but flow down her cheeks.

She clenched her fists tight and bit her lips hard till she tasted blood.

She hated Dorothy Ellis, but she hated herself more.

It was her that had brought that snake back into her home, and that was how the snake bit everyone and destroyed her family!

Olivia thought she deserved whatever that had come to her.

Zac peeked at Olivia and passed her some tissue paper. “You okay?”

“Yeah.” Olivia sniffled. She wanted to stop the tears from flowing down. She pursed her lips. “Mr. Quinton, my mom was poisoned. She got poisoned right after she gave birth to my brother. Could we reopen the case?”

“It’s quite difficult for suspects to be captured if it’s a case related to being poisoned, but it should not be that hard to open an investigation. You can pass the autopsy report to me to take a look so I can be more sure about it.”

“Really?”

‘Even if we can’t capture any suspects in this case, we could cause something to happen, and maybe Johnny would see her true colors through this?”

After hearing what Zac had said, Olivia felt like she had gotten hold of a life buoy after floating in the sea for a very long time.

She grabbed Zac’s sleeves and said, Thank you, Mr. Quinton! Thank you so much...”

She lifted her head abruptly and looked at Zac. “Mr. Quinton, I have no money to give you, but if you don’t mind, I can work for you, even if it’s to be a cleaner. I’ll use my pay to pay for the lawyer fees.”

Olivia had a damsel-in-distress look when she cried, but her eyes were colored with determination, causing Zac’s heart to melt into a puddle.

If he was not driving at that moment, Zac really wanted to give Olivia a hug right away.

“Liv, you don’t have to...”

“Mr. Quinton, you’ve been such a great help to me, and you’ve gotten Zyla to take care of me. You’re too kind to me and I have no way of repaying you. So please, at least give me a chance to repay you, okay?”

Zac wanted to say no, but Olivia’s cries were still echoing in his head. He could not bear to reject her.

“Okay, we’ll talk about this more when we’re back.”

Olivia felt better as she saw Zac relenting.

“Yeah, okay.”

She did not want to be indebted to others, especially not to Zac.

Zac was John’s good friend, and by right, she should not be alone with him.

However, Zac was the only one who could help her when she was stranded and helpless.
