I’m Someone Else -
Chapter 195
Chapter 195
Through this incident, Olivia had come to accept an unpleasant fact: that her so-called family wasnever truly hers. She thought of them as her father, grandfather, and relatives, but all she was to themwas just a tool for their own benefit.
They had managed to deceive her and exploit her trust to bring her home and arrange for a womanwho looked exactly like her to stay by Thomas’ side. Their intentions were malicious.
Any remnants of fantasy Olivia had about having them as her family was utterly shattered.
“Okay.”
Upon hearing Olivia’s words, Thomas finally felt relieved. He was happy as long as she wasn’t angrywith him.
He took a few bites of his meal before realization struck him. What did Olivia just say? She belongs tome? What… did she mean by that?
With that thought in his head, Thomas felt his heart beat noticeably faster, and he started zoning out ashe ate.
Meanwhile, Olivia couldn’t help but joyfully steal glances at Thomas. He didn’t refute when I said I amhis! He must have agreed that I am his woman! Yay!
After lunch, the two of them drove to Keyshire Property.
“That reminds me. You have to take back half of Keyshire Property’s business! The entire KeyshireProperty is a gift from you to me. Nobody else can touch it! It’s mine!”
During the meal, Olivia was so preoccupied with looking at Thomas that she completely forgot aboutthis matter until they were about to go to Keyshire Property for work.
Hearing that, Thomas turned his head and looked at Olivia sitting in the passenger seat. With herpalms on her hips, she looked like an overbearing president of a company. “Alright,” he replied,amused. “Don’t worry. It’s all yours. No one can take it away from you.”
Thomas wouldn’t let the Pearson Family take advantage of him even without Olivia’s reminder.
Halfway through the journey, Thomas’ phone rang when Quincy called.
“Dr. Hofstead,” Thomas greeted.
“Thomas, come to the hospital. There’s something I have to tell you.” It was hard to read Quincy’sexpression. The man still couldn’t believe the news he had heard.
The whole Irieson was abuzz because of the rumors. Terrence and Norman were dead, but no oneknew who killed them. Quincy was also puzzled by how it was possible for anyone to kill two coremembers of a powerful family like the Pearson Family, especially when the murder happened in broaddaylight at the Pearsons’ villa.
However, Declan told Quincy that the person who killed Terrence and Norman was Thomas! Declanreturned shortly after Thomas left the Pearson Residence. He had planned to inform his father andleave Irieson to return to Capitalis. To his unpleasant surprise, he found his father and older brother’scold corpses. He quickly checked the surveillance footage inside the villa, only to discover that it wasall Thomas’ handiwork!
Quincy couldn’t believe it, but upon careful consideration, he realized that this was indeed Thomas’way of doing things. It didn’t matter who or where his target was; he would go straight to their door andkill them!
He quickly warned Declan not to tell anyone about this.
Fortunately, Quincy was the first person to be informed of this by Declan. The Hofstead Family and thePearson Family had always been well acquainted. Even though Quincy had a falling out with Normanbecause of Thomas, it was just personal beef between him and Norman. Declan understood this well,so after discovering that Thomas was the culprit, he immediately sought out Quincy, hoping that thisbrilliant figure of Irieson would help him seek justice.
Only then did Quincy realize why Thomas had asked for his assistance in investigating Gavin, Declan,and Yukine’s whereabouts the previous day. It turned out that Thomas, unsatisfied after killing Terrenceand Norman, wanted to eliminate all core members of the Pearson Family.
Isn’t he too ruthless? What on earth happened for Thomas to resort to such extreme measures? Evenif there was a falling out between Olivia and the Pearson Family, it shouldn’t warrant the annihilation ofher entire family, right?
Upon hearing Quincy’s words, Thomas frowned slightly. From the looks of it, it seemed that Quincy hadfound out about his involvement in the killings of Terrence and Norman, and he wanted to confrontThomas about it.
But Thomas had to take Olivia to the company now. He couldn’t make it to Quincy’s.
“I have something to take care of right now. I’ll come to see you after I’m done.”
“Alright, I’ll be waiting,” Quincy replied and hung up the phone.
Olivia, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Thomas unhappily. Why is he going out again?What is he going to do? How long will he be away?
Olivia wished she could be attached to Thomas’ side, not having to separate from him even for asecond.
Thomas didn’t notice Olivia’s reaction. After dropping her off at the office, he bid her farewell and droveaway.
As Olivia watched Thomas’ retreating figure, she let out a long sigh and quietly thought, “Please comeback soon, or I’ll start missing you.”
When Thomas arrived at the hospital, he hurried to Quincy’s office and pushed the door open.
However, he froze in place as soon as he opened the door. Quincy wasn’t the only one in the office;John Morton and Samuel Peralta were also sitting there, and their expressions mirrored Quincy’s darkand gloomy one.
Thomas forced a bitter smile and walked in. It seemed they already knew about it.
“Thomas! Are you sick of living? You actually killed Duban Pearson?” Quincy stood up and asked, hisvoice sharp and demanding.
Thomas froze. “Duban Pearson? Who’s that?”
“What…” The corners of everyone else’s mouths twitched. Thomas didn’t even know that the person hekilled was an expert from the Pearson Family! Does he even have a heart?!
“Ahem, Duban Pearson was an elderly man with profound and unfathomable strength. He was amartial arts expert of the Pearson Family,” Samuel explained to Thomas.
“Ah, you’re talking about him!” Thomas exclaimed as the realization sunk in. No wonder that old manpossessed such formidable skills; I didn’t think he would be someone respectable in the PearsonFamily.
“Forget how you killed a martial arts expert from that family; you actually went as far as killing bothTerrence and Norman! Do you have any idea how reckless you were? The entire Irieson knows aboutthis now. The other Five Greatest Families are discussing how to replace the culprit together! Luckily, I hadDeclan destroy the surveillance in the villa in advance. You might already be a lifeless corpse by nowotherwise!”
The Six Greatest Families of Irieson were not as simple as they appeared to be. Behind them werecunning old foxes who pulled the strings. Quincy wouldn’t have gotten angry if Thomas had merelykilled Duban or Norman. But Thomas just had to lose his temper and almost wipe out the coremembers of the Pearson Family in one go! It would be a miracle if this incident didn’t force thosecunning old foxes to get involved.
The rest of the people in Quincy’s office didn’t understand why Thomas had to do something like this.Just how deep were his grudges and resentment toward the Pearsons?
This was the first time Thomas had seen Quincy so furious at him. He quickly waved in an attempt totell Quincy and the others not to get worked up for now.
