I’m Someone Else

Chapter 186

After hearing what his mother said, the boy nodded and walked away. After a while, he returned with the most recent phone model on the market. “Here, Mom.”

Then, the woman handed the phone to Olivia. “Make the call. Don’t worry; you’re safe here,” she said confidently. Even though the villa in this neighborhood was not as expensive as Northpine Villa, it was still expensive to purchase a home here. Moreover, this is not a neighborhood where just anyone could settle down. She reasoned that only foolhardy people would attempt to abduct someone from her home.

On the other hand, Olivia knew that Duban would have instructed his men to search every house in a different residential neighborhood, but not this one. So, no matter how powerful the Pearsons were, they wouldn’t risk offending every influential person in this neighborhood all at once.

As if she had reached her breaking point, she finally started crying. A stranger came to my aid in my darkest hour, but my family did the opposite. They set me up, sabotaged me, and took over my company. They are evil, despicable, and shameless.

“Oh, don’t cry. Why are you crying?” The woman quickly comforted her.

Sob! Olivia nodded and stopped crying upon hearing that. Even without the woman’s reminder, Olivia knew her priority was to call Thomas and have him pick her up. She understood she could feel safe only when he was beside her. Since she had memorized his number, she immediately dialed his number, but his phone had been turned off.

“T-Turned off? Why?” she mumbled and tried calling him again, but she only got a recording saying the phone was off.

After that, she started to panic. I can’t get to him. What now? I can’t go out, or that old man will capture me. They are not going to stop until they find me.

“Oh, don’t be sad, missy. What’s wrong?” the boy asked, noticing the change in her expression.

However, his mother patted his head. “Go to sleep. It’s a school night. I’ll stay with the lady.”

“Okay.” After saying that, the boy went to his bedroom, though he kept glancing at Olivia. He liked her, but that was to be expected, given her beauty and likeability.

In the meantime, the woman noticed that whomever Olivia was calling had their phone turned off. Since her husband was on a business trip, she didn’t mind keeping Olivia around. Aside from her son, there were no other men, so she suggested, “Let’s go. Allow me to take you to the guest room so you can rest. You can call your family tomorrow.”

“I-Is that alright?” Olivia was moved by the woman’s generosity.

“Of course. Let’s go.”

Olivia nodded in response. This was the best she could hope for, so she followed the woman to a guest room. The woman even got her some salve for her sprained ankle.

Then, Olivia mused, After escaping this ordeal and returning to Thomas, I will express my gratitude to this woman. If not for her, I would still be stuck in that villa.

As the night passed, she awoke as dawn broke through. She had only slept for two hours, which was a fitful sleep. After that, she tried to call Thomas again, but his phone was still turned off, which caused her some consternation. Weird. He never turns his phone off. What is it with him today?

At 8.00AM, as the woman prepared to drop her son off at school, she observed that Olivia still couldn’t make the call, so she suggested, “If you still can’t get through, I can give you a ride home.”

When Olivia heard that, she nodded and thanked the woman again. Hence, Olivia climbed into the backseat, and as the car approached the neighborhood’s entrance, she noticed a group of burly men

standing around, staring at the passers-by. Her heart sank upon seeing those men. It’s been a whole night, and they’re still searching for me? “T-They’re looking for me, miss—” She spoke with a stutter and a quaking voice.

After hearing that, the woman glanced at those men and said, “Don’t worry. The windows are heavily tinted. They can’t see through the car, so just sit tight.” She was understandably enraged after Olivia told her what had happened the night before. Still, she couldn’t believe Olivia’s father and grandfather would set her up. That is pure evil, so I’m going to help her.

Vroom! The car whizzed past those men, and Olivia finally managed to escape. After dropping off the boy at school, Olivia guided the woman to Keyshire Property.

When they arrived, the woman looked at the majestic building and commented, “You work here?”

“Yes.” Olivia nodded in response. With her sprained ankle and pain that wouldn’t stop flaring up, she could only hobble into the building with the woman’s assistance.

When they stepped through the door, a surprised Molly gasped, “Miss Pearson!” What happened to her? She’s unkempt and can’t walk well, but she was alright yesterday.

In the meantime, Olivia was more than delighted to see Molly. Finally, someone I know. “Where’s Thomas? Is he around?”

After hearing how Molly greeted Olivia, the woman assisting Olivia was taken aback as she muttered, “Miss Pearson?” This gorgeous young lady is the president of this company?

“He’s not here yet. It’s still early.” Odd, Molly thought. He’s your driver. You should know more about him than I do. Why are you asking me if he’s in? She has been acting weird these two days. She also made sure I wouldn’t follow her to any meetings or negotiations, and she transferred half the company

to Pearson Group yesterday. You’re a part of that family, but you can’t do that. Everyone in the company knows what she did, but they are afraid to speak up for fear of losing their jobs.
