I’m Someone Else

Chapter 159

Terrence had a bitter smile on his face as he nodded and greeted, “Yes, it’s been a while.”

Even he has come. The news of Olivia dating someone has a far greater impact than I thought!

The elderly man took a seat on the couch and Terrence personally served him a cup of tea.

The elderly man took a sip and complimented, “Excellent. This is exquisite tea. You sure know how to enjoy yourself, Old Mr. Pearson. Hahaha!”

Terrence quickly demurred, “Not at all. This is just ordinary tea. If you like it, Taylor, I’ll have someone send some over to your place.”

The elderly man was Taylor Saunder, the head of the Saunders.

Taylor and Terrence were in-laws as Taylor’s daughter, Yuna Saunder, married Terrence’s second son, Declan Pearson. Yuna was Yukine’s mother.

Taylor waved his hand and said, “I didn’t come here for tea. Let’s not beat around the bush. How do you plan on dealing with Olivia’s situation?”

Terrence had a pained smile. Naturally, he knew why Taylor was here. All of Irieson knew that Olivia was dating someone. It went without saying that the Saunders, as one of the Six Greatest Families, would have heard about it too.

“Since you’re here, Taylor, I’m sure you must have some thoughts about the matter. Let me hear what you think first.”

Taylor nodded and said, “I think we can’t keep that Thomas Clifford guy around! Unlike the other families, I didn’t come over to question you without doing my due diligence first. I looked into the situation. Although things haven’t gone too far between that man and Olivia, they are indeed a bit too

close for comfort. They’re certainly closer than friends would be. If he sticks around, sooner or later, something major will happen!”

His tone gradually hardened. As the head of such a prominent family, other people’s lives were inconsequential. Why would Thomas be of any importance in comparison to the interest of the family? He could kill dozens of people without even blinking, let alone just one person.

“I want him dead too, Taylor. Ever since he showed up, we Pearsons have not had any peace…”

Just the thought of Thomas now was enough to make Terrence grind his teeth. Not only did Thomas take Olivia away, but he even turned Gavin into a disabled man and left Norman, the chairman of Pearson Group heavily injured! Terrence wanted nothing more than to rip Thomas apart, drink his blood, and eat his flesh! But… he couldn’t actually do any of that…

“Why haven’t you done anything then?” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Taylor was confused. Since Terrence wanted Thomas dead, why was Thomas still alive and kicking now? It didn’t make sense!

“Thomas Clifford is extremely powerful. I exchanged blows with him once and he knocked me down with just a single blow…”

“What?” Taylor’s eyes widened at once. Terrence was knocked down with just a single blow?

Although Terrence was getting up in the years now, he hadn’t lost his martial arts abilities. In his youth, he was one of the top martial arts experts in Irieson. How could a young brat possibly knock him down? How is that possible?

Terrence noticed Taylor’s shock and continued, “It’s true, Taylor. It’s not just me. That Clifford fellow even struck down Blake Hinds with a single blow, and he even killed Drake Hinds, Blake’s most

beloved nephew, right in front of Blake!”

At the mention of this, Terrence was reminded of the four men from the Pearsons’ hidden forces. Each one of them had been extremely valuable to the family. A lot of time and money had been spent on training them. However, after heading out to assassinate Thomas, they were never heard from again while Thomas was alive and well. That was enough to prove that Thomas had killed them!

How silly of me! If Thomas Clifford can defeat Blake in a single blow, what could those four guys do to him?

“W-What?”

Taylor gasped. After all, Blake was a martial arts expert through and through and was unanimously considered the best fighter in Irieson. Thomas Clifford defeated too? And with just a single blow!

He also heard about Drake’s death, but he didn’t know it was Thomas’ doing. Thomas Clifford is inconceivably arrogant!

However, how strong is he that he’s able to defeat Blake with a single blow? Who in Irieson can possibly stand against him? Taylor was too stunned to dwell on that question.

“The biggest problem is that Thomas’ background is shrouded in mystery. You know who Rafael Mazer is, right?”

“Of course,” Taylor replied. “He’s the head of Keyshire Property and one of the most important men in Irieson!”

“That’s right, and let me tell you what I saw at the hospital that day. All Thomas Clifford did was make a call and Rafael Mazer immediately had a contract brought over to the hospital. He handed Keyshire Property over on a silver platter! Rafael Mazer already comes from an immensely powerful

background, but even he takes orders from Thomas Clifford. Think about it, Taylor…” “That’s right, and let me tell you what I saw at the hospital that day. All Thomas Clifford did was make a call and Rafael Mazer immediately had a contract brought over to the hospital. He handed Keyshire Property over on a silver platter! Rafael Mazer already comes from an immensely powerful background, but even he takes orders from Thomas Clifford. Think about it, Taylor…”

“Goodness me!”

Taylor felt his entire worldview crumbling around him. Even his breathing grew harder. He was well and truly scared of Thomas now.

Terrence let out a helpless sigh. He hadn’t even mentioned the fact that Rafael also handed over a large sum of cash, though he figured it wasn’t worth mentioning since even Keyshire Property itself was gifted away.

“It’s impossible for us to bring Olivia back by force. We can only try to get her to return by choice. I’ve contacted Declan. Now that Norman’s at home recuperating and can’t move around, Declan’s the only one who can try to talk to Olivia.”

Taylor nodded. “That’s the only thing we can do now.”

Initially, Taylor thought he would be able to lend a hand in this matter. He didn’t mind using the Saunders’ hidden forces either. After all, they were related by marriage and he couldn’t just stand by and watch when the Pearsons had a crisis on their hands.

He never thought Thomas would not only be an expert fighter himself but would come from a mysterious yet powerful background. That was not someone the Saunders could afford to offend! If what he heard from Terrence today had been nothing but the truth, then even if the Saunders joined hands with their allies, the Zanes, it could still be insufficient for them to deal with Thomas!

Just then, a middle-aged man walked into the house. It was Terrence’s second son Declan.

He was based in Capitalis, but he got a call from his father last night. Terrence filled him in on everything. The Pearsons were currently in a precarious position and at risk of being targeted by the other five families. Terrence had no choice but to summon Declan back from Capitalis in the hopes that Declan could reason with Olivia. After all, when Olivia was young, Declan had doted on her quite a bit. Terrence hoped that Olivia would take that into account and return to the family voluntarily.
