Olivia's heart dropped. Her hand that was raised froze in mid-air.
‘Who's Zac looking for?
‘Why does he want to get rid of them?
‘What's the secret from 4 years ago?
‘Is it related to Jess?
‘lf he knows that Sam is Jess’ son, will he allow her to see him again? 1
Questions raced through her mind, but she had no answer to any of them.
However, these questions that she had no answers to were so important.
"Who's out there? Is it Liv?"
Olivia was shocked when she heard that voice. She wanted to run but realized it would make her look suspicious. Thus, she pushed the door open and entered.
"I..." She swallowed. "I wanted to ask if you've eaten. Do you want some dessert?”
Zac looked at her empty hands and asked with a smile, "Where is it?”
Olivia bit her lip. “It's... in the fridge.”
"What's wrong with you?”
Zac quickly noticed something was off about her. So, he pushed his wheelchair toward her and grabbed her hand. He said with a frown, "Why are your hands so cold? Did you have a nightmare?"
She shook her head stiffly.
He was smart. Even though he noticed something off about her, he did not ask. Instead, he pulled her into the study. After he made her sit on the sofa, he asked solemnly, "Liv, I want to ask you something.”
Olivia kept telling herself to believe him.
After all, this man saved her so many times. She should believe that he would never harm her.
He had always been kind toward her throughout the years. He always felt like a breath of fresh air. When had he ever said something so cruel?
Before Olivia could say anything, he continued. "I found Rainie.”
Olivia was astonished. Finally, she lifted her head to look at him. "Rainie?"
"Yes, Rainie Jameson, the Jameson family's adopted daughter. I've been looking for her for four years, and I finally found her. I hope you will meet her this time.”
Zac held Olivia's hand tightly, and his expression darkened. "After all, she's the one who knows the truth about Zyla's death."
"So you were talking about Rainie on the phone just now?"
"Yes.”
‘Then... What did you mean by, ‘get rid of her1?”
Zac froze as he looked at her. Then, he chuckled. "Liv, you don't think I'm going to kill her, right? Is that why you look so horrified?"
Olivia shook her head. After she thought about it, she nodded.
They should not doubt each other or keep secrets from each other.
"You dummy.” Zac unfurrowed the frown on her forehead, feeling distressed. "I'm a lawyer. How could I kill someone? That's illegal.”
"I...L should believe you, but when Wilbur told me about what happened four years ago, I'm a little...”
Before she could finish, Zac interrupted. "If you insist that I'm hiding something from you from four years ago, then it's probably the matter about Jess.”
Olivia's eyes lit up. "Jess? What happened to her?"
"Back then, I found out her husband didn’t die, but I didn’t want you to get involved, so I didn’t tell you.”
Zac exhaled. "I'm sorry. I should have told you.”
‘That's all?" Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"Yeah, that’s all. What did you think it was?"
Olivia shook her head and blamed herself.
She had been doubting Zac. How foolish of her.
‘Trust me. As soon as they bring Rainie back to Ocean City, I will take you to meet her. I promise.”
"Okay, I believe you."
When he noticed how much calmer she looked, he patted her hand. "It’s late. Go to bed now.”
Olivia nodded. Eventually, she asked after some hesitation, "What are you going to do with Quinton Group?"
"We don't need to do anything. We'll just wait for them to expose themselves."
Right, Jimmy had acknowledged Fabian so they could not do anything for now. If they could, they would surely make a song and dance out of this. Hence, Olivia nodded obediently and walked out of the room.
After Olivia left, Zac's face darkened.
He had never wronged Olivia, but he still did not have the courage to tell her the truth about what happened four years ago.
