Chapter 611 âBrain tumor?â
The first reaction Olivia had was to think that John was lying.
However, she did not speak immediately. She looked up at him carefully and sized him up.
âYouâre just making me want to leave you more.â
A dash of dejectedness flashed across Johnâs eyes. âYou donât believe me?â
Olivia shook her head. âI donât. How could you have a brain tumor? Iâd believe you if you said have pneumonia since you smoke too much.â
âI know youâre punishing me, Liv. Youâre doing everything I did to you over the past four âIf you want to think about it like that, I wonât stop you.â
âLiv...â
years.â
you Olivia pushed John away. âMy husband is outside. Weâre about to get married, and now, the entire town and even the entire world knows about it. If thereâs anything between me and you, itâll be seen as infidelity.â
As she spoke, she looked at John and smiled faintly. âJohn Freeman, I donât wish for the past to repeat itself.â
Olivia was referring to the news of her cheating.
Six years ago, the news of her cheating with another man was all over the place.
At that time, John believed it and took revenge on her for the next two years.
Olivia really did not want to experience a time like that ever again.
Even if she and Zac were only pretending to be married, she did not want the reporters to be able to write whatever they wanted to.
âLiv?â
Zacâs voice rang out from the outside. Olivia walked past John and was about to go out. âIâm here, Zac.â
Zac walked over. âSorry. I had to take that call.â
âItâs okay. What do you think?â
âHmm, itâs pretty nice. What do you think? If you donât like it, we can always choose again.â
Olivia did not want too much hassle, so she smiled. âThis one, then. What about your clothes? Have you picked one?â
Just as she was done speaking, John walked out of the changing room and stared coldly at Zac.
Zac was not surprised as he looked back at John quietly. âJohn, as my former friend, youâd come to my wedding this weekend, right?â
John looked at Olivia and nodded his head. âYeah. I will.â
âOkay, Iâll save you a spot.â
John walked out stoically, and when he got into the car, he cradled his head and leaned against the window.
Wes, who saw him, took out some medication and passed it to him. âHurry and eat your medication, sir.â
John took it from Wes and swallowed it without drinking even a sip of water.
Was she this pathetic four years ago too?
She took her medication in secret, while he tortured her, made her suffer, and misunderstood her...
How did she ever survive that?
Wes could not help but sigh when he saw John like this. âSir, why donât you tell Madam? Iâm sure she...â
âShe didnât believe me.â
Wes wanted to say to John that it served him right, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind. âSir, Iâm sure Madam has her own hardships. Now that Jimmy Quinton is on your back, maybe Madam is trying to do this for you....â
Even John did not believe that. He grimaced and laughed self mockingly. âWes, do you believe what youâre saying?â
Wes did not reply to him.
Because even he did not believe himself.
He already knew what Madamâs thoughts were when they were overseas.
What happened most probably did not have anything to do with John.
âHead back to the office.â
âOkay.â
âHowâs the thing I wanted you to investigate?â
âJimmy Quintonâs main target is the Jameson family, so he wanted Mr. Quinton to have a marriage arrangement with Dorothy.â
âWhat about the rest?â
âThat Jimmy was probably trying to first finish off the Jameson family, then go against the Freeman Group. I suspect that heâs amongst those that were against the Freeman group four years ago.â
âWhoâs the person behind all of this?â
âSir, they are very secretive. I canât find anything on them at all.â
John closed his eyes and pinched the place in between his brows. âWhat about Murica?â
âI heard Xavier Hemsworth has come to Ocean City as well.â
âWhen?â
âToday.â
Today? What a coincidence.
John could not help but suspect a little. Xavierâs motives might not be as simple as him just liking Olivia.
