I’m Someone Else

Chapter 183

Meanwhile, Norman and Terrence exchanged glances but said nothing for fear of disrupting Duban’s train of thought.

Thomas, you b*stard! Terrence cursed silently. There has never been any bad blood between us, but the reason for our conflict is entirely due to Olivia. Still, it was you who tried to meddle in our family affair. Fine, I can live with that, but why the heck did you cure her? Don’t you have anything better to do? Your actions will negatively impact my entire family.

Ten minutes later, Duban sat down and said, “I have a way out.”

“What is it?” Terrence’s eyes lit up. I know he will find a way. He’s not the patriarch for nothing. As long as she can become the sacrifice, we’ll live.

“Either we re-inject the poison or flush out the blood in Olivia and replace it with that of a woman with a Yin Physique.”

“Um…” The expectation in Terrence’s eyes dimmed upon hearing that. A woman with Yin Physique? How are we supposed to find that woman? Also, there is no way to re-inject her with the poison because we do not have it, and only those people have it. It will rile up a storm if we have to re-inject her, as those people will kill us, and the other families will be out for our heads.

Duban turned to face Terrence after noticing his silence. He knew his solutions were challenging, but they were their only options. “We’ll do this quietly. First, get a woman with Yin Physique.”

“How are we supposed to find her?” Terrence asked helplessly. Women who have Yin Physiques are notoriously difficult to find, and there is no way we will be able to locate a woman with such a physique in such a short time.

“Just look for her. If you fail, we’ll have to re-inject her with the poison. I just hope we won’t be punished too severely for that.” Duban shook his head and waved the father and son away as he had no other option.

After that, Terrence and his son left the villa, and Norman asked, “What now, Dad?”

“We will send all of our men on a search. Be sure to instruct them to look in every nook and cranny for the woman who fits the requirements.” This is the only thing we can do. If we’re lucky, we might find one. If Shadow hadn’t told us, we would have been in the dark until the day of the sacrifice, and by then, our family would have been annihilated.

Norman nodded after hearing that. As he was aware of the gravity of the situation, he quickly called his men and instructed them accordingly. Although we have little hope, we must grasp at whatever straws we can find.

In the meantime, Duban frowned at the awakened Olivia. We gave you life and raised you. How could you go against us when it is time to repay us? I would have taught her a lesson if she wasn’t a sacrifice.

“Let me go! Kidnapping is a crime!” she screamed as she struggled to break free. After waking up, she began to reflect on the events that had led up to her passing out. It had to be the tea my dad made, or else I wouldn’t have passed out. It must have been Dad and Grandpa’s idea to lock me up since they specifically lured me here for that purpose. How low will they sink? That realization filled her with regret; had she known this beforehand, she never would have returned. From now onward, it doesn’t matter to me if Grandpa lives or dies!

On the other hand, she was not worried because she had told Thomas to pick her up before returning to Pearson Residence. She was aware that once he realized she was missing, he would not give up until she was located. Even though she was now locked up, she was confident he would find her. She

had faith in him because he always showed up whenever she was in danger. In addition, she had begun to rely on him without even realizing it, and whenever she recalled his presence, she found the strength to persevere despite the gravity of her circumstances. This time is no different. He’ll find and save me, just like at the Hind Residence. Unknowingly, I’ve fallen in love with him. It is a common girl’s fantasy to meet the savior; he is the savior I’ve been waiting for. Obviously, I’m hopelessly in love with him.

At that moment, Duban harrumphed and opened the window. The villa’s windows were fitted with security bars to prevent Olivia from escaping; she would never have a chance unless she could miraculously shrink her body. Fury gleamed in his eyes as he asked, “Do you have any idea what you did, girl?” If the poison in her body is not resolved, our family will face disaster. Although I may be strong, I could never hope to defeat those people or even be wiped out by them. Our families existed solely to serve them; this was the first time our family botched the sacrifice event.

“Let me go, you old man!” she barked at him, oblivious to his identity. Despite being the young miss of the Pearson Family, she was not a part of the core family, nor did she have any status.

“Stop struggling. Stay put and live out the remainder of your life in peace. Don’t waste your time with that useless special force soldier,” he said. Poor thing, she’s spent her entire life being raised like a pig for slaughter, but nothing could be done because this is her fate.

“Whom I spend my time with is none of your business, old man. Let me go, or when Thomas finds this place, he’ll kill you!” Olivia was enraged after hearing Duban’s words. She would not tolerate any ridicule directed at Thomas, whom she considered her hero.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
