Chapter 188
The crowd watched the handsome and beautiful couple while discussing with jealousy and admiration. However, they did not know that Thomas never intended to show off their affection for each other. He did it because Olivia had sprained her ankle and had difficulty walking.
When the crowd’s discussion entered Olivia’s ears, she blushed but did not think of escaping. Instead, she moved slightly and leaned further against Thomas’ chest. I’m finally back with him. No one can hurt me with him here. Terrence Pearson, come to Keyshire Property and take me away again if you can!
Once they arrived at the office, Thomas placed her on the couch and removed her shoes to help her massage her sprained ankle.
Meanwhile, Olivia felt his large, warm hands touch her body. Those hands seemed to contain magic because every time they touched her, she would have a tingling sensation and feel extremely comfortable but also abnormally shy.
“How is it? Does it still hurt?” Thomas asked after massaging her ankle for a while.
“Huh?” Olivia’s eyes widened as she felt her legs had stopped hurting. How could that be possible? She had been so immersed in her embarrassment that she didn’t notice the change in her ankles. Did it heal right after Thomas’ massage?
Seeing that she was not talking, Thomas thought his massage technique was wrong and asked, “What is it? Does it still hurt?”
“No, it doesn’t hurt anymore.” Olivia gradually calmed down. After all, this was not the first time she experienced how miraculous Thomas could be, so she wasn’t surprised.
“That’s great to hear. Lie down and rest. I’m here, so you have nothing to be afraid of.”
Thomas rose to his feet, feeling frightened. Luckily for them, Olivia was an intelligent woman and knew to escape from the villa, or else he would not have discovered he was being tricked. Everything with her was fine except the poison still lingering inside her. Once she stopped drinking his prescribed medication for three days, she would instantly suffer the backlash of the poison. By then, everything would be too late.
He felt extremely guilty. Oh, Thomas Clifford, how could you not notice such a simple trick? You’re so dumb!
“Okay!” Olivia gave him a sweet smile and lay on the couch. She had not slept a wink last night because Duban and his men were searching for her outside the villa. Anyone in such a situation would not be able to sleep, so she felt fatigued. But she only lay down and did not sleep because the woman who saved her was in the reception room, waiting for her.
Meanwhile, Thomas arrived at the window in the hallway, smoking while lost in thought. If some other family had been daring enough to treat Olivia that way, he would have wiped out the entire family to get revenge. After all, the King of Marksmen was never associated with kindness. He would respect those who respected him but would become a blood-thirsty devil to those who challenged him.
However, the culprits weren’t any other family but the Pearson Family! The family that raised Olivia. Yes, she despised them, but that was because she was angry at them. What if she forgave them later? What would she think if she found out her entire family was slain because of her? With her personality, she would blame herself instead of blaming him. But he could not let this matter go that easily. The others might be able to live, but Terrence and Norman must die! The old man responsible for guarding Olivia must die as well!
At that thought, Thomas turned around and entered the elevator. “It’s time I settle some scores with the Pearson Family!”
He wasn’t worried about Olivia because as long as she stayed at Keyshire Property, no one would be foolish enough to come here and do anything. Of course, the incident with Leslie was purely accidental.
Meanwhile, at the Pearson Residence, the atmosphere was gloomy, and everyone, including Duban, bowed their heads and remained silent. Duban had explained everything. He and his men had searched the surrounding area all night but could not find Olivia. It was a no-brainer that she must have escaped.
Terrence was more humane this time and immediately informed Shadow to find an excuse to return home after receiving news that Olivia had escaped. That was because Shadow would be in danger once Olivia appeared before Thomas.
Thomas’ phone being turned off was also her doing because they feared Olivia might call him.
Terrence sighed hopelessly. Using Shadow to replace Olivia was his last trump card, but he didn’t expect things would go against his wishes. Even such a perfect plan had failed. It seemed like the Pearson Family was destined to face such a catastrophe. He didn’t blame Duban, or more specifically, he dared not to blame Duban. Instead, he blamed Olivia for being too intelligent, for being able to escape even when he had placed such heavy defenses. He seemed to have underestimated her too much.
“Uhm… Dad, do you think Thomas will come here after he finds out the truth?” the terrified Norman asked.
“Hmph! We’ll just scare him off! The Pearson Family is still a member of the Six Greatest Families of Irieson, so he would not dare to come here!” Terrence was very confident. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
After listening to his father’s boast, Norman felt assured. As long as Thomas would not come here, he could bear not heading outside for a few days and cowering at home. There was no other choice as he
couldn’t defeat Thomas.
Boom! A loud noise came from the door as it was kicked open. The crowd looked over and saw it was Thomas!
Terrence felt his lips twitch. F*ck this. This Thomas guy is such an *sshole. I just said he wouldn’t dare to step foot here, and he came bursting through the door the next moment. That’s a slap to my face.
“You… You…” Norman was scared sh*tless. Didn’t Dad just say Thomas wouldn’t dare to come here? What is this now? Fine. Even if Thomas is arrogant and capable enough to come here, shouldn’t he be coming at night? Breaking the Pearson Residence’s door in the middle of the day. It’s like he looks down on our family.
Unlike his son, Terrence was calmer as he stared at Thomas coldly. I admit you’re strong, but it doesn’t mean no one in the Pearson Family can deal with you! Our elder, Duban Pearson, is sitting right there! You coming over is like looking for death!
On the other hand, Thomas ignored Terrence and Norman because he was focused on Duban. He knew that the old man Olivia mentioned was the guy sitting before him. Didn’t you say Olivia was bluffing and killing you is just wishful thinking? Well, well. You’re going to be the first one I kill!
