I’m Someone Else

Chapter 353

“Regret? How do you spell that word again?” Thomas rolled his eyes. Without any intention of continuing this conversation, he turned around and left the office.

“Dr. Hofstead, I’m sure you saw that. The Saunders have been very sincere, but Thomas doesn’t know what’s good for him! He—”

Before he could finish, Quincy interrupted him with a wave of his hand. “Alright. Alright. Taylor, stop pretending to be innocent before me. Is this what you call sincere? You’re clearly scheming against Thomas! I didn’t expect you to be such a vicious person. Please leave. You’re not welcome here!”

After what happened today, Quincy naturally would not show Taylor any kindness. Also, all his good impressions of Taylor from before instantly disappeared. What’s the matter? Do you think you’re the only smart person in the world, while the rest are idiots that should get tricked?

“Hmph!” Not being able to win against the other, Taylor left furiously. He intended to use Thomas; more precisely, he had been scheming against the other since he agreed to single-handedly take on the Hind Family.

He planned to use the powerful Thomas to keep those six old monsters at bay so he could buy some time to bring the others to their new protector, transfer their assets, and withdraw all their cash flow. All of those had to be done within those two hours. After all, he could not hide such actions from the six old monsters’ spies!

“Thomas, Quincy, who do you think you are with those balls of yours?” Later, Taylor sat in his luxurious caravan, complaining, “If I had known you two would be so ignorant, I wouldn’t have secretly aided you. Without me, Olivia would’ve been abducted long ago! Fine, then. Since you don’t appreciate my help, don’t blame me for being ruthless! I’ll make your lives a living hell!”

At that point, he had decided to send someone to kidnap Olivia and send her to those six old monsters. Didn’t you say you can defeat those six old monsters without my gift? Fine! Let me see how you’ll win against them when they use Olivia Pearson as leverage against you! I don’t have time to care about Rafael! Since you refuse to help me, I’ll retaliate against you!

Thinking of that, he took out his phone and dialed a number. “Abduct Olivia Pearson. I want to send her to the higher-ups!” His tone was filled with the intent to kill. He wanted Thomas to watch as his girlfriend was assaulted and drained of blood to become someone else’s plaything even after death!

“You ungrateful b*stard! You, Thomas Clifford, are just a mere retired soldier, an insignificant existence. How dare you reject me!” He scoffed. Since Thomas could not be used, he had to think of another way. No matter what, the Saunder Family had to escape the Crimson Moon’s control!

After leaving the hospital, Thomas headed straight for Keyshire Property. It was already the afternoon, and he wanted to ask Olivia to get off work early. That way, they could entertain their ‘distinguished guest,’ Emily. On top of that, he wanted to let Olivia take the Toxin Expulsion Pill to expel the frost poison from her body. One had to know that the frost poison was Thomas’ worry all this time, and the earlier he could settle it, the earlier he could rest assured.

He had no idea such a mysterious cure even existed. Unfortunately, the ancient books the old man left for him did not include the refining process, which frustrated Thomas because alchemy was a more refined skill than medicine!

As for whether the Toxin Expulsion Pill was like what Colby put it, that it could expel the remaining frost poison in Olivia’s body, Thomas was not skeptical about it, for the Travis Family had no reason to trick him. If they wanted to harm Olivia and him, they would have done something when the couple were in Capitalis and would not have waited until they returned to Irieson.

“Thomas!”

Just as he exited the elevator, he bumped into Olivia, who had a stack of documents in her hands. She and Molly had just finished their meeting and were about to return to the office. Seeing Thomas, she was excited beyond what words could describe. She would have thrown herself at him if they were not at the company.

Meanwhile, Thomas smiled and took the initiative to help Olivia with her documents.

When Molly saw the scene from the side, she felt jealous. Thomas is so biased. I’m holding a stack of documents as well. There are more in my hands than Miss Pearson, yet he has no intention of helping me.

Once they were back inside the office, he grabbed Olivia’s cup and poured her some warm water. Then, he slipped the Toxin Expulsion Pill into the cup while no one looked. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Fizz!

The Toxin Expulsion Pill melted once it touched the water and did not release any color or smell, making it a seamless intrusion.

“Here, Olivia. Don’t just bombard yourself with work. Have a drink.”

“Okay!” She stopped what she was doing and took the cup. Then, she happily drank the water in small sips.

After watching her finish the water, he released a breath of relief. If all went well, she might have already been rid of the frost poison. “Molly, you can get off work now,” he instructed, as it was already past 5.30PM.

“What?” She looked inquisitively at Olivia, her boss.

Though curious about Thomas’ actions, Olivia did not ask anything and nodded at Molly. Hence, Molly packed her things and left the office with her handbag. Before he could tell Olivia he wanted her to get off work early today, he heard a strange noise from outside.

This was an advantage he possessed after practicing internal martial arts; his senses had gotten more sensitive. The sound he heard resembled several sets of footsteps deliberately softened, slowly approaching the office.

Exiting the office, Thomas leaped into the air and hung upside down on the corridor ceiling outside the president’s office, just like a bat.

Eight figures appeared at the corner of the corridor.

“Be on alert. If that Thomas guy is nearby, you seven will keep him at bay while I get Olivia! Boss has demanded that we must bring her away at all costs!”

All of them were sent by Taylor, coincidentally the same eight people the other three great families sent to kidnap Olivia back then. They were confused because Taylor had previously ordered them not to cause trouble and secretly protect her, so how did it become a kidnapping mission instead? If Taylor wanted to kidnap Olivia, why go through the fuss of keeping them in check?

Still, they had no authority to question him.

The eight men carefully made their way to the entrance of the president’s office, oblivious that Thomas had been watching and listening to what they were doing and saying all this while.
