Chapter 314 After about an hour, a delivery bike arrived at the door of Larson Residence.
John was on the phone in his car when it happened. He watched the delivery man open the container on his bike, take out two bags of groceries, and then ring the doorbell beside the gate.
Quickly, the door opened, and the delivery man jogged in.
John smiled. It seemed like Olivia was going to cook up a storm today.
Wesâ voice came from the other end of the line. âSir, Iâve sent you the details. We need to attend a meeting out of town tomorrow.
Please donât forget about it.â
âOkay.â
âSir, the incident from two years ago that you got me to investigate might be a little complicated.â
John barked coldly, âWhat about it?â
âWe have all the relevant video recordings from the incident, but the only witness, Cole Zachary, is dead, so thereâs a lot of things we canât seek confirmation on.â
What happened two years ago had always been a thorn in Johnâs side.
Even if he felt like he had wronged Olivia, he could not let go of the hatred.
After a long pause, John asked, âWhere is she?â
Wes knew that he was asking about Dorothy, so he replied to John, âThereâs no news of Ms, Ellis leaving town, but Iâm sure sheâs no longer in Ocean City. She must be deliberately hiding from us. Also...â
âSpit it out!â
âThree years ago, Ms. Ellis did abort a child, and that left her infertile. That means the report.she got you to read was a fake one.
Iâve got witnesses.â
John balled his fists up tightly, and the veins on his forehead popped out, displaying that he was so angry he could no longer hold it in. âThatâs it?â
âThereâs more.â Wes had sensed Johnâs anger and was sweating buckets.
âMs. Ellis was once in a relationship with Ben Wilson, the Larsonsâ past driver. He was the man who hit Mr. Quinton.â
âThatâs all?â
âSir...â Wes was a little afraid. âWhen you slept with Ms. Ellis, you were drunk, but that does not diminish the possibility of you having been drugged.â
Then, Wes added bravely, âSir, are you sure you had sex with Ms. Ellis that night?â
In Wesâ mind, he thought that regardless of whether John was drunk or not, he still would remember if he had had sex or not.
Johnâs eyes gleamed with iciness, and he chuckled coldly. âWes Coulson, are you tired of living?â
Wes was a timid man, so he was quick to say, âSorry. I overstepped my boundaries. Iâll continue to track Ms. Ellis down.â
John hung up the call and threw his phone aside.
That night...
He really did not remember anything about it. When he woke up the next morning, Dorothy was crying and speaking affectionately, so he believed her.
Now, upon looking back, it was probably all Dorothyâs lies.
However, even if Dorothy had been with someone else and lied to him, it did not diminish the fact that she had saved him.
Because of that, he could not kill her, but he hated it when people had a foothold on him!
In the Larson Residence.
lan was upstairs in his room, and the door was closed, so Olivia did not know what he was up to.
She did not want to disturb him, so as soon as the groceries arrived, she began cookirig in the kitchen.
It had been two years since she last saw lan, and he had grown taller, but he had also lost weight.
Surely no one had cared about him getting enough nutrients while he was fostered in someone elseâs home, so Olivia hoped to make him gain at least a few pounds.
Just as she finished slicing up the beef, she heard the door open and thought it was lan coming down.
She did not turn back as she said, âlan, itâs gonna take a while longer. You can go do your own thing for now, and when itâs ready, Iâll let you know.â
âWhat are you cooking today?â
âBraised prawns, salad...â
Before she could finish her sentence, Olivia felt like something was not right with lanâs voice. She turned around quickly only to fall into a firm embrace.
John took the chance to snake his arms around her waist. âWhat kind of salad? Why donât you finish your sentence, hmm?â
