Chapter 71 It was the evening. Olivia was crouching in the corner, wounds all over her face and her body. Tears shimmered in her eyes.
Suddenly, her lungs throbbed, and the smell of rust gushed out of her throat. Her throat tickled and stung. She wanted to cough but dared not, for she feared making the slightest sound would make them beat her.
up again.
Olivia bit her tongue and dug her nails into her flesh, using the pain to suppress the urge to cough. Then, she swallowed the bloo d. However, this would not be the end of it.
She had not taken her painkillers today, so she did not know how many more times the pain would strike her that night.
John had told them to beat her up. It seemed he doted on Dorothy a lot.
âHeh. Dorothy was his angel. What am I, then?â
Tears ran down her face, but she did not dare sob. She held them back carefully until the morning.
She had hardly slept, and her usually bright eyes looked dim and haggard.
Suddenly, the door opened, and someone walked in. Their pair of customâmade leather shoes caught her eye.
Olivia bit her lip and did not dare look up. She was afraid to meet those deep and soulful eyes.
However, a slender hand gripped her chin and lifted her head.
Their eyes met. One party was biting her lips in fear while the other one was sneering.
âAre you going to admit your mistake now, Olivia?â
She opened her dry lips and said hoarsely, âIâve done nothing wrong. I wonât admit to anything.â
âDolly is awake. Iâd never visit a vicious woman like you if she hadnât begged me to come. Olivia, you make me sick!â
Olivia, you make me sick!
Those words lingered in Oliviaâs ears like a demonâs whisper. With tears shimmering in her eyes, she looked at him, âWhat are yo u planning to do to a vicious woman like me, Johnny?â
âThree years. Dorothy pleaded for you and reduced your sentence to three years.â
âWhat?â
âThree years will be enough for you to change!â
Olivia sneered like she had heard something ridiculous. âJohn, have you lost your mind? Youâre going to put me away in jail for th ree years?â
âYesâ
His voice was cold.
âDo you hate me so much? Have you forgotten we...
âThere is no âweââ
Before she could finish, John interrupted her impatiently, squeezing her lower jaw harder. His heart quivered as he looked at Oliviaâs sad appearance.
Then, he let go of her and stood up straight. âItâs okay if you donât want to go to jail. Then Dorothy will be Mrs. Freeman, and youâl âWhat?â
Olivia shuddered and looked at the man before her in disbelief. Her pale lips trembled, and she asked, â What did you say, Johnny âDonât you understand? Dorothy will be Mrs. Freeman, and you...â Johnny looked at her coldly with a sneer, âwill just be my playth Boom!
Olivia lost all hope in keeping herself upright. She leaned against the wall weakly and looked blankly at the man in front of her.
After a while, she sneered and bit her lips. âYou want to make Dorothy your wife?â
âYes.â
Johnâs voice was so cold that Olivia could not tell if he was serious or testing her out.
However, she was so heartbroken that she almost collapsed.
âJohnny, wouldnât it be better if you divorced me and let me go?â
âLet you go?â
John crouched and stared at her with hatred. âI said youâd only be mine. Are you expecting me to let your go so you can elope wit
