Chapter 876
Olivia and Everly drank tea, walked around the mall, and watched a movie. It was just like old times.
They cherished the time they had together.
Alicia yawned when the movie ended.
Joshua drove an Audi A8 over and asked, “Ms. Fordham, do you want to head home now?”
Olivia looked at him in confusion. “Where did you get the car?”
“I rented it. It’s pretty cheap for such a good car. Ms. Alicia is falling asleep. I figured that it would be
troublesome for you to take the bus.
“Hurry up and get in. It’s very cold outside.”
Olivia beckoned for Everly to get in the car. Alicia had already fallen asleep in her arms.
Joshua placed their bags in the trunk and asked, “Where is this lady headed?”
། Everly replied hesitantly.
Olivia asked, “Are you still living at Azure Oasis?”
“Yeah, same place.” Everly nodded.
“Alright. Sit tight.”
The snow was getting heavier outside. There were fewer people on the street.
Olivia noticed that Everly would often space out, but she would say she was fine every time Olivia asked
her about it.
Olivia knew something had happened to her.
They had been friends since high school, and Olivia understood her too well.
If something could cause a carefree woman like Everly to avoid talking about it and space out during conversations, it had to be related to a man.
It was likely that this man was not someone she could talk about, or their relationship needed to be kept
a secret.
Back then, when Everly managed to get Josh to become her boyfriend, it was like she wanted the whole world to know

Olivia couldn’t force her to speak up if she didn’t want to talk about it.
The car pulled up in Everly’s neighborhood.
She feigned a smile and said, “I’ll take my leave here. Your daughter is asleep. You should go home as
soon as possible.”
“It’s almost Christmas. Do you want to hang out?”
A hint of disappointment flashed on Everly’s face. “I’ll confirm with you later. I might be busy.”
“Okay. Then you should save my new phone number. Call me when you’re free.”
“Okay. Goodbye”
Olivia closed the door. Through the rearview mirror, she could see Everly looking at her on the side of the
road.
It pained Olivia to see Everly like that. She finally understood why Everly looked at her like that back then.
They were adults. They could only endure the misfortune that befell them quietly. They couldn’t express their emotions freely like kids anymore.
Even as a bystander, they could only watch. They couldn’t do anything, even if it pained them.
Everly walked away after Olivia’s car was out of sight.
Olivia said coldly, “Turn back.”
“What?”
“Just do as I say. Drive slowly.”
“Understood.”
Olivia saw another car at Everly’s place.
It was a silver Spyker. A tall and elegant man got out of the car.
Olivia was shocked. How could it be him? It was a man she only met briefly before-Henry Synder, Everly’s employer.
Olivia would understand why Everly wanted to keep her relationship a secret if it were him.
A taboo relationship between an a*sistant and her employer was indeed not something she would want to tell others.
But if they truly loved each other, they could overcome any difficulties.

Henry said something to Everly, and it made her very agitated. She ran to the flowerbed and picked up a
brick. She looked determined to fight him to the death.
Henry took the brick from her and pulled her into his arms. He pressed her against the car and k*ssed her.
The snow kept falling around them.
The brick also dropped to the ground. There were tears flowing down her face, but she didn’t push him
away.
Olivia looked away and said, “Let’s go.”
Everly had fallen for him. But in a relationship, the one who falls in love first would always end up losing.
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 …
