I’m Someone Else

Chapter 187

Amidst the entire Keyshire Property, Thomas was the only person with authority to reject Olivia’s decision. However, he was abnormally calm and didn’t even frown after finding out about that incident; instead, he stated, “I respect Olivia’s decision.”

“Molly, call Thomas and tell him I’m looking for him. I don’t have my phone with me,” Olivia said.

“Okay!” Molly agreed and pulled out her phone to call him.

“Miss, since you’re back in your company, I’ll take my leave,” the woman told Olivia.

“Please, don’t leave so soon. I haven’t thanked you for today. I would have never been able to escape that place if you hadn’t helped me.” Olivia had decided to give her a proper thank you, so she wouldn’t let her leave.

“You don’t have to be so formal with me.” She wants to thank me? How? I’m not short of money. Those who can afford such a high-class residence clearly have no financial worries.

“In the meantime, please wait for Thomas to arrive.” Olivia held the woman’s hand tightly without letting go. She reasoned that the least she could do was treat her savior to a meal.

Since the woman couldn’t persuade Olivia to change her mind, she stood beside Olivia and waited.

“Thomas says he’s almost here.” After Molly said that, she saw a Maserati stopping before the building entrance. Then, the man Olivia had been thinking about exited the vehicle.

“Thomas!” Olivia could no longer hold back her tears and started crying upon seeing him.

When he walked through the door and heard her crying voice, he looked up and froze. “You… Didn’t you go home? Why are you back here?” He knew his memory wasn’t messed up, but he was still confused by her sudden appearance. I had clearly sent her to the Pearson Residence half an hour ago,

and she had even requested that I come to the company first. Still, why is she here? Also, she wasn’t wearing this outfit when I saw her this morning, and her makeup was different! She attached great importance to her appearance, and the Olivia standing before me was nothing like the intricately dressed-up woman she usually was. Looking at her, I could tell she hadn’t showered in days.

“Phew!” Then, Olivia took a deep breath and instructed Molly, “Molly, bring this lady to the reception room to rest and make her a cup of coffee.” Although this woman knows my family has locked me up, what I am about to tell Thomas is quite “horrifying,” so it is best to keep her out of it. After all, it is my personal matter.

“Sure! Miss, please come with me.” Molly gestured for the woman to follow her.

After hearing that, the woman shook her head and smiled bitterly. I’m not greedy, and I rescued Olivia out of kindness, so I don’t expect anything in return. Nevertheless, based on her behavior, I am certain she will not let me leave. Since I would be alone at home with nothing else to do, I should stay for a while.

After watching the two women walk away, Thomas asked, “Olivia, what happened? I saw you enter the Pearson Residence’s gate, but why did you suddenly appear at the company? Also… What happened to you? You were wearing a different outfit when I saw you this morning.” Even if you had rushed here, you could not have arrived before me.

“Thomas, you’ve been deceived. That woman isn’t me,” she explained.

“What?” His eyes widened in response. How could it not be you? That woman has the same appearance and even acts in the same manner.

“She’s not me. Let me explain.” Seeing the disbelief on his face, Olivia told him everything.

Crack! Crack! When he heard the whole story, he gnashed his teeth so hard that they cracked. His face was red with anger, and his eyes were filled with an endless desire to kill.

“Gasp…” Olivia was startled by Thomas’ expression because she had never seen him with such a fierce expression before. Then, she mustered her courage and stated, “Come on, let’s go to the office.”

After learning the truth, he struggled to tame the rage, which was on the verge of erupting. Nonetheless, he believed everything Olivia had said, and while Shadow resembled her, he found Shadow’s actions peculiar. Furthermore, he knew what Olivia thought of the Pearson Family, and he was baffled by her sudden decision to transfer half of Keyshire Property’s business to Pearson Group at no cost. Although it did not make sense to him, he feared that she would overthink the situation if he asked her about it, so he refrained from doing so.

Furthermore, he realized that Olivia hated returning to the Pearson Residence and that she would usually schedule a time for him to drive her home if she had to return. Then, he recalled sending Shadow home this morning, but she said nothing about picking her up. Most importantly, the way Shadow and Olivia looked at him was different! However, he didn’t know that it was something Shadow couldn’t imitate because the thing missing from Olivia’s gaze was called affection. All he knew was that something was missing from Shadow’s gaze.

Never would Thomas have imagined that Terrence would stoop so low! He had not expected Terrence to plot against his granddaughter and encroach on half of Keyshire Property’s business! Out of so many large families in Irieson, no other family could probably be more shameless than the Pearson Family!

After noticing that Olivia was hobbling, Thomas asked, “Your leg—”

“About that… I jumped out the window when escaping and accidentally sprained my ankle.” She felt aggrieved because she felt immense pain in her ankle every time she took a step.

After hearing that, he felt guilty. If he had been more vigilant and attentive, Shadow would not have been able to deceive him, and Olivia would not have suffered as much. He had previously promised Olivia that no one could hurt her with him by her side, but what happened? He was there all along, yet she still got hurt by her father and grandfather. Reality had proved him wrong. “Let me carry you!”

Once those words were spoken, she felt her world swirl before she landed in Thomas’ arms the next moment.

Instantly, their actions attracted the attention of everyone in Keyshire Property.

“Look! Mr. Clifford is carrying Miss Pearson in his arms!”

“Oh, God, kill me. I didn’t expect to see such a display of affection in public!” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“What the heck! They’re even showing off their affection in the company. Can’t they spare the single employees such torture?”
