I’m Someone Else

Chapter 178

They came back to Northpine Villa, and Olivia went straight to her bedroom. It was then Thomas realized something was off with her. Is she angry? But why? Because I killed Jordan despite her wishes? No. She said I’d given her enough respect. Unable to figure out the answer, Thomas shook his head and sat on the couch before lighting a cigarette.

At the same time, the Pearsons were in chaos. “Damn you, Thomas! I’ll kill you!” Terrence roared furiously, smashing everything he laid eyes on.

Norman stood beside him, choosing to stay silent. Jordan might be an unimportant member of the family, but he was still part of the family. Furthermore, he was Terrence’s son. His death definitely hit Terrence hard.

“Our men said Olivia was there too when Thomas killed him, but for some reason, she didn’t stop him.” Norman hated the fact that his daughter didn’t try to stop Thomas. You’re close to him, so why didn’t you? That was your uncle. Blood is thicker than water. How could you just watch as Thomas kills him? You’re an ingrate!

Terrence heaved a long sigh. He knew what had happened even without Norman telling him. He too was angry at Olivia, and he’d kill her so his son could rest in peace, but that was impossible. Olivia was too important for the family. The day of the sacrifice was upon them, and if he were to kill her, the family would be plunged into disaster. In the end, Terrence directed all his hatred at Thomas. After all, he was the one who killed Jordan.

Since Terrence had calmed down a little, Norman asked, “What now, Dad?” He too despised Thomas. What happened at the hospital was still painful to him even now. Thomas beat him up and almost ruined Gavin. If it was possible, he’d kill Thomas brutally.

Most importantly, Thomas had taken Olivia away, and that day was upon them. If they couldn’t present Olivia, there would be hell to pay.

Terrence narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “You made me do this, you two. This is not my fault. I only have one choice left.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Norman froze, and he said, “Dad, you can’t mean…”

Olivia was in her office working away the next day when her phone rang. Seeing the name of the caller, she frowned. It didn’t seem like someone she liked, yet the phone wouldn’t stop ringing. Eventually, it annoyed her, and she took the call. “Yes? What? I see.”

Her face fell. Grandpa’s ill? That’s so out of the blue. And he doesn’t have long to live? This is serious.

The one who called was Lilith, Olivia’s mother, and she used Norman’s phone to call her. That can’t be a lie, but this is impossible. Grandpa’s always been healthy. He’s a martial artist. Even though he’s really old, he’s still healthier than most young men. Is this because of Jordan’s death?

Olivia was reluctant to go home, but it’d look bad if she didn’t see her dying grandfather. If he really did fall ill because of Jordan’s death, then all the more reason she must see him. In the end, she said, “Thomas, take me to the Pearson Residence. My grandpa’s sick, and it’s serious. He wants to see me.” Olivia was a little nervous when she said that, worried that Thomas might get angry because she wanted to go home.

“Hm?” Thomas was surprised that Terrence was sick. He wouldn’t blame Olivia for wanting to go back. She was Terrence’s granddaughter after all, but the Pearsons had plans for her. She might be in danger if she goes back. Should I go with her? Nah. I beat Gavin up really badly. Even if he is not dead, he is definitely suffering. I still feel a little guilty for going overboard with that beating. Furthermore, I just killed Terrence’s son a while ago. He wasn’t scared of the Pearsons, but if Terrence saw him and died because he got too angry, that would be Thomas’ fault. “Fine, I’ll send you back,” said Thomas.

Olivia packed her things and got into the car. Thereafter, they went to the Pearson Residence, and it didn’t take them long to get to their destination. “Pick me up at five, Thomas,” said Olivia.

“Sure.” Thomas saw Olivia off and gazed at Norman—who welcomed her—before he left.

Lilith was on the couch, and she said, “You’re back, Olivia.” Lilith didn’t mistreat Olivia and her sister. She sympathized with them. Olivia was a good girl, but fate was unkind to her. She lost her mother when she was a child, and her father disliked her. The whole family seemed to have abandoned her, but she worked hard and was a brilliant woman. She managed to handle the family company well, which was a lot more than she could say for her playboy of a son.

Gavin might’ve been badly injured, but the Pearson Family was powerful. They hired famous doctors and bought a lot of expensive herbs to heal him up, but the moment he could move around, Gavin hung out with his useless friends and did nothing but play all day. They have the same father, so why are they so different?
