Chapter 121
John stopped eating and glanced at livia, only to see that she was eating soup with her head down and not looking at him.
Sidenly, he slammed his spoon down on the table. “Olivia, do you have to do this? I’m having lunch with you. What else do you want?”
Olivia drank all the soup in her bowl and put it down gently.
“Johnny, you’re talking as though having a meal together as a married couple is a gift from you. Do you think that’s normal?”
“Don’t you know that Dolly is injured and still in the hospital?”
“I don’t care where Dorothy is. All I want to know is when she’ll be dead!”
“Olivia!”
John slammed the table and stood up. He stared at Olivia coldly.
“Are you going to beat me up again?”
Olivia sneered and continued. “Dorothy is a vicious woman. She killed my parents and Uncle Wallace, brainwashed my brother, and even snatched my husband. Should I thank her for doing all that?”
“She saved my life!”
“Saved your life? So are you repaying her by giving yourself to her?”
Feeling the pain in her heart, she stood up and looked at John with tears shimmering in her eyes. “What about me? What am I? How about my dad? You killed my dad, who treated you like you were his own son, just because you want to please Dorothy. Don’t you feel guilty about that?”
John emphasized each word as he said, “You cheated on me!”
“Firstly, I didn’t cheat on you. Secondly, even if I did, why would you kill my dad?”
John looked into Olivia’s teary eyes and felt heartbroken.
He had not killed Olivia’s father.
He had caused the Larson family’s bankruptcy, but Hans’s suicide had nothing to do
with him. He had even given Hans money to start a new business with.
He did not know why Hans killed himself.
