Chapter 368
Olivia was back on the street near the Fordham residence. The street had been around for a long time. Some of the shops on the street had become renowned brands. There were a lot of people there, and it was lively.
She went to the matzo ball soup restaurant. The last time she came here was before she got married. There weren’t a lot of customers in the restaurant yet.
The owner saw her and greeted her heartily, “Ms. Fordham, I haven’t seen you in a long time.”
“Yeah, and your business is booming as usual.”
“It’s all thanks to you. Do you want the usual?”
“Yes, I’d like two sets of the usual.”
“Alright, please wait for a moment.”
Olivia placed her order and went to the store next door to buy some pastries. Chloe hadn’t eaten these in more than a decade. Olivia wondered if she missed having them.
Olivia headed back to the matzo ball soup restaurant with several bags. In her haste, she accidentally ran into someone.
“I’m so sorry,” she apologized.
Raising her head, she saw a handsome face. She exclaimed, “It’s you!”
The man looked at her, and surprise flashed in his eyes. “You…”
It was the man that Olivia helped bring to the hospital last time. She was in a rush to visit the cemetery at that time, so she left before he woke up.
“Are you feeling better?” Olivia asked. He still looked a little sickly and weak. His slender frame was dressed in an expensive suit. Even his illness couldn’t conceal the air of elegance he
had.
The man didn’t reply. Olivia saw that he was stunned, so she introduced herself, “You fainted the other day. I was the one that brought you to the hospital.”
The man came back to his senses and muttered, “You look so much like her.”
“What?”
“It’s nothing. Thanks for bringing me to the hospital. Are you free? I want to take you out for lunch to thank you for saving my life.”
Olivia waved her hand, saying, “There’s no need. It’s just a small deed. I still have something

to do, so I’ll be leaving now. But I think you still look a little unwell. You should go get yourself checked.”
Olivia was about to walk past the man and leave. Taking a step back, he said, “It might be a small deed for you, but you saved my life. It’s fine if you’re busy. I can wait until you’re free. Here’s my card. You can contact me if you need any help.”
He wanted to get her contact information, but he didn’t want her to think he was hitting on her.
Olivia accepted the card and said, “Alright. Talk to you next time. See you.”
She quickly left. The man watched as she left while he was lost in thought. She really looked like someone he knew.
A cold breeze blew on him, and he began to cough while covering his mouth.
His a*sistant, who had parked the car, came to help him walk and said, “Mr. Avery, the wind is strong right now. Let’s get in the car.
“Alright.” The man turned to look behind him one last time before leaving reluctantly.
While waiting for the matzo ball soup, Olivia looked at the card she was given.
It said on the card: ‘CEO of Atlas International, Avery Fordham.’
Olivia had heard of Atlas International before, even when she was a full-time housewife. It was one of the top ten international companies. She didn’t expect the man she saved on the street to be Avery Fordham.
She had heard Ethan talking about Avery back in the day. But no matter how she looked at him, he looked fatigued and sickly. He even fainted in a foreign country alone.
“Ms. Fordham, here are your two orders of matzo ball soup.” The owner’s voice pulled her back to reality.
“Yes. Thank you,” Olivia said as she collected her thoughts.
She took the food and got in the car. After a short distance, Kelvin said with a frown, “Mrs. Miller, we’re being followed.”
Olivia thought that Leia was trying to kill her in broad daylight. Then, she looked at the earview mirror and saw a Bentley Mulsanne. She didn’t think it was an a*sa*sin. No one would ttempt to kill someone in a luxury vehicle like that.
‘Don’t be afraid, Mrs. Miller. We’re prepared for situations like this.” Kelvin connected his Bluetooth earpiece and called the other b*dyguards.
Someone is tailing us. Handle the situation, and don’t let them escape.
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
