Chapter 317 The meal was exceptionally quiet and peaceful, which made Olivia feel like she was dreaming.
After dinner, lan went back upstairs.
Olivia frowned when she saw him closing the door.
She did not get the chance to talk to him.
John stole a glance at her and started to clear the dishes. âIâll clean up.â
Olivia was slightly shocked but she did not object to it. She went upstairs.
She knocked on the door. âlan, can I come in?â
âWait a minute.â
A few minutes later, he opened the door. âWhat is it?â
Olivia looked inside and chuckled. âCan I come in and have a seat?â
He hesitated for a bit but finally nodded.
After entering, she looked around. Her brotherâs room used to be decorated in a cartoon style, but now, it was very simple and sleek with only black, white, and gray tones.
âWhat do you want to talk about? Are you trying to frame Dolly again?â
Olivia felt a piercing pain in her heart, and she frowned as she spoke. âlan, I know youâve gotten very close to Dorothy over these two years, so I wonât blame you for not being able to judge things properly. But why do you hate me? Weâre biological siblings, and I would never wrong our parents.â
lan was slightly irritated. He sat on the chair and stared at her coldly. âIf you didnât have an affair, the Larson family would not have gone bankrupt and our father wouldnât have died. You destroyed our family.â
âAn affair...â
Olivia sighed. Everyone was convinced that she was the one who had an affair.
How pathetic.
Honestly, she was impressed by Dorothy getting everyone to believe her.
âDorothy is Johnâs mistress. Do you know that?â
lan kept quiet and turned to the other side, not daring to look at her.
This made her upset, but her rationality told her that lan was still a child, so she should not blame him.
She then passed her phone to him. âGive me your number.â
âNo.â
âI donât have any other intentions. Iâm just worried that you might not be eating properly, so I want to come over to cook for you when Iâm free.â
Hearing this, lan was moved.
Dorothy had cooked a few times in the past two years to try to please John.
However, her cooking was awful.
He quickly finished keying in his number and threw the phone back to Olivia. Then, he said coldly, âIâm warning you, donât bother me about anything else, or Iâll block your number.â
âOkay.â
Olivia was already satisfied enough with being able to get her brotherâs contact number. She did not stay any longer and left.
She noticed John was still washing dishes, so she went up to the third floor.
Her bedroom was located on the third floor.
Her room still looked the same, but there was a layer of dust on everything.
When the Larsonâs Residence was confiscated, she had left in a rush and did not manage to bring anything with her. Now that everything had changed, she could not help but feel sad. Her eyes reddened.
She went to the bookshelf and took out her diary. She wiped the dust off the cover of the book and saw a photo lying there upon opening it.
It was a picture she had secretly taken during Johnâs 20th birthday.
He was wearing a black suit and standing in the middle of the crowd. He looked elegant and powerful, making people afraid to approach him.
She gently touched the face in the picture, pursed her lips, and smiled wryly.â Johnny, if I knew we would end up like this, I probably wouldnât have pursued you such a long time.â
for Suddenly, a slender figure appeared at the door.
âWhat are you looking at?â
Olivia quickly closed the diary and said in a slightly guilty tone, âNothing. Just some old stuff.â
âReally?â
He approached her and snatched the diary away. âIs there anyoneâs photo in here?â âNo.â
He squinted his eyes at her, then opened the diary.
