Chapter 658
Olivia saw an unfamiliar face. The face was exquisite, but she didn’t feel a sense of familiarity.
So, she figured that the woman was a stranger. But the woman looked at Olivia like she knew her.
“Do you know me?” Olivia asked.
The woman regained her composure and said with a smile, “In a way.”
The woman stood up. Her posture was elegant and confident as she stuck her hand out.
“Hi, I’m Jacqueline Fordham.”
This name… Olivia couldn’t help but ask, “You’re a Fordham?”
Avery had just given her his card not long ago. She didn’t expect to meet another Fordham so soon.
“Yeah. Avery told us about you. We wouldn’t have found my sister’s remains without your help.
I’ve been meaning to visit you, but I didn’t expect to meet you here. You’re more beautiful in
person.”
Jacqueline smiled. A dimple appeared on her left cheek, which made her seem even more
delightful and charming.
Olivia had asked Ethan about her encounter with Avery. He casually glossed over it and told her
about what happened.
“It was no big deal. You don’t have to thank me for it, Ms Fordham. I’ll be taking my leave now.”
Jacqueline grabbed Olivia’s arm, but she quickly withdrew her hand when she realized what she
did was rude.
“I’m sorry. I just… May I have your contact information? I just got to this city, and I will be leaving
soon.
“I hope to at least have a meal with you to express my gratitude before I go.”
“Thanks for the gesture, but I didn’t help much. I appreciate your kindness, but there’s no need for
a meal.”
Olivia nodded and left with the salesperson after she said that.
She wasn’t sure if she was imagining things, but Olivia felt someone’s gaze following her.
As she approached a corner, she turned around and took a glance.
The corridor was empty, not a single person in sight.
Olivia came back to her senses and shook her head. It was probably just her imagination.
After getting her measurements taken, Olivia went looking for Janice. She felt the atmosphere.
change entirely when she entered the jewelry store.
Janice was sitting cross-legged on a stool. Even if she didn’t utter a word, she exuded an air of
charm and maturity.
There was a woman standing a short distance from Janice.
The woman wasn’t young anymore, but she took good care of herself, and her figure was
comparable to that of a young woman.
Her makeup was light, but there was more than met the eye. Her entire look was meticulously
designed.
Only other women would be able to pick up on the finer details. Most men wouldn’t even notice.
The woman gave off the delicate charm of a docile and reserved woman, while Janice exuded the grace and elegance of a noblewoman. The woman was clearly not on Janice’s level when it came
to looks.
The woman said in a seemingly feeble tone, “Janice, I didn’t know you wanted that necklace. I’m
sorry. Why don’t I buy it for you?”
Janice snorted and set her coffee down as she looked at the woman condescendingly. The woman
seemed to be waiting for Janice to continue talking.
Unexpectedly, Janice fell silent after grunting. It seemed like she didn’t care about the woman in
the slightest.
The woman spoke up again. “You probably haven’t seen Kenneth in a long time, Janice. He’s here,
too. I’ve always felt bad about what happened.
“I’ve never had the chance to meet you all these years. I’ve been meaning to apologize
Janice didn’t even look at the woman. She noticed Olivia from the corner of her eye. She waved at
Olivia noticed the atmosphere wasn’t right, but she obediently went to Janice’s side.
“Mom, this is…”
“She’s nob*dy. You can ignore her. Look at these accessories that I picked out for you.”
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 …
