99 Bloody Lashes And A Bullet To His Hear

"I told you, the birthday party was just for show! You couldn't even last a few days and had to go find trouble with Sophia?"

Hearing his accusation, Olivia pressed her lips together, but her gaze remained defiant as she looked at him. "I'm the one causing trouble? She's the one who sent someone to try to assault me! The hallway has surveillance footage, and if you don't believe it, go watch it yourself!"

"Enough!"

Her explanation did not earn Joe's approval; instead, his frown deepened. As they locked eyes, Olívia could see his unquestioning trust in Sophia.

"Sophia isn't like that! Don't drag Sophia into this just because you've provoked someone else. Now, come with me to apologize to her!"

"I'm not wrong, so why should I apologize? I won't go!" Without saying another word, he tried to drag her to the hospital, but she struggled free, looking at him with a mixture of disappointment and disbelief.

Seeing her still so stubborn, his face suddenly grew cold. He no longer bothered to argue, instead calling for bodyguards.

"Get her to the hospital!"

By the time Olivia was escorted to the hospital, she saw Sophia curled up in Joe's arms. When she arrived, Sophia was still crying quietly, looking pitiful.

Olivia had been dragged here in a humiliating state, but Joe acted as though he didn't see it. He simply looked at her coldly, as if she were a criminal.

In that moment, she felt a lump in her throat. No more words of defense would come out. She suddenly felt so tired, and when she looked at him, all that was left in her eyes was silence.

"Fine, I'll apologize."

"I'm sorry."

I shouldn't have fallen for you, I shouldn't have wasted these years tangled up with you.

I was wrong, terribly wrong.noveldrama

She didn't look at their expressions anymore. After breaking free from the bodyguards, she walked straight out the

door.

Joe did not expect her attitude to change so quickly. He was stunned for a moment, then watched her leave with a feeling of inexplicable panic. But Sophia was still crying softly in his arms, so he had to shift his attentio back to

her.

In the following days, he was too busy caring for Sophia to come back.

But every day, when Olivia opened the door, there were gifts placed at the villa entrance. She didn't accept any of them, but packed them up and donated them all.

The next morning, just after breakfast, her phone rang suddenly,

"Olivia, what do you mean by donating all the gifts? This whole thing was your fault, and I even tried to apologize to you, but now I've done something wrong?" Joe's voice sounded weary. "Stop making trouble, okay? You weren't this

hard to coax before."

Olivia didn't respond to him, but her hands paused for a moment.

She suddenly remembered when they had first gotten together. Back then, when

she was hurt and wronged, just one of his hugs was enough.

But that was when the old Olivia still loved Joe. Now, she saw through his lies and didn't love him anymore.

In the silence, she could vaguely hear Sophia's voice on his end.

"The medicine tastes so bitter..."

She chuckled softly and finally spoke, "Put your focus on taking good care of Miss Harris."

"I told you it's fake..." Joe was about to explain, but she cut him off, "Fake or not, you have to make the whole world believe it, didn't you say that?"

With that, she quickly hung up, not giving him a chance to respond.

She no longer had time for games. Her one-month notice period was over, and she could leave now.

After breakfast, she changed clothes and went to the company. After finishing the final resignation procedures, she returned home and began packing her things.

In the evening, Joe arrived with a pile of gifts. When he saw her, his expression wasn't as sharp as before. He placed the gifts aside and then reached out to hug her.

"Olivia, Sophia and I are getting married soon, and our families want her to move in here. It's not appropriate for you to stay here anymore. Why don't you go stay in the Golden villa for a while?"

"Don't overthink it. Once this show is over and the families have agreed, I'll bring you back."

Olivia knew that he had a villa in Golden, though she rarely went there. The place was far from here, in the south, and hearing him say this made her quietly sneer inside.

Now that he had a delicate wife, was he planning to keep her as a hidden mistress outside?

On the way, Joe had imagined how upset Olivia would be when she heard the

news. He had already prepared to coax her and bought so many gifts in advance. But to his surprise, her expression was calm. She didn't or make

a scene.
