Chapter 766
The moment she fell into the water, Olivia felt the suffocating feeling once again.
How familiar yet painful.
Anger and explanations were useless against Dorothy's act.
The only thing one could do was to continue the play and act better. The show must go on.
"Phoebe? Wake up!"
Suddenly, she noticed that someone jumped into the pool and carried her out of the water while shouting her
name.
The name that represented her resurrection.
'Where am I now? Who's calling my name?'
"Phoebe?”
The man was patting her face while calling her name, trying to wake her up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'This feels so familiar.'
Suddenly, she remembered what happened by the beach four years ago.
She fell into the ocean with Dorothy, and she was wrapped around in suffocation and fear. However, she was
unwilling to die and she kept on swimming and crawling upwards... until her eyes met that icy cold gaze...
Out of nowhere, she opened her eyes and coughed a few times until she spat out all the water.
"Phoebe? Are you okay?"
She looked at the man that was carrying her. The familiar face carried a trace of concern that made her unfamiliar.
Thinking about the scene four years ago, she felt a trace of pain in her chest.
Seeing her not responding, John was a little anxious. "I'll bring you to the hospital."
"It’s fine.” Olivia looked away and glanced towards Dorothy in the crowd." Dolly, why did you push me?"
Dorothy’s eyes startled and she kept shaking her head. "I didn't. You’re lying! I didn’t push you, so why are you
accusing me? Why?"
Seeing how she was panicking and in fear yet unwilling, Olivia smirked.
'So this is how it feels to be the winner.'
This feeling was addictive. She wanted to see Dorothy being more afraid and desperate.
At that moment, Ken pushed Zac over. "What happened? Pheebs, why are you drenched?"
Olivia saw Zac and immediately pushed John away and threw herself into Zac’s arms while crying. "Zac, I am so
scared, why won't the Quinton family accept me..."
"Phoebe James, you're lying! Stop accusing me!"
Zac hugged her and comforted her gently. "Don't worry. I am here, so no one can bully you."
That being said, he looked up at Dorothy. "Dorothy Jameson, my patience is limited."
"It's not me... Really... Zac, don't get deceived by her..."
Yet no matter how she explained, no one wanted to believe her.
"Is this not enough?"
Jimmy slapped Dorothy right across her face. "You are probably the only person who would dare to make her own
wedding into a joke."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDorothy covered her face. "You... How dare you hit me?"
"Don't think that you can act as you wish just because you are the young lady of the Jameson family. You will be one
of the Quintons the moment you marry into the family, and your actions will damage our reputation!"
Jimmy said coldly, "This slap is considered a gentle punishment. Fabian can't control you, so he needs to be
punished as well. I shall take back the equity that was given to you two before this!"
Fabian just got to the scene, and he panicked when he heard that Jimmy wanted to retrieve the equity.
"Father, what’s wrong? Why are you taking back the equity?"
Jimmy slapped Fabian. "B*stard! Where have you been? Shouldn't you be with your bride? Now that your wife has
caused so much trouble, should I punish the victim instead of you?”
After saying that, Jimmy glared at both of them ruthlessly and turned towards Zac and Olivia. "Zac, comfort Phoebe
nicely, and I will serve her justice in this matter."
Olivia sniffed, stood up, and looked at them with slightly swollen eyes while shaking her head. "Father, I don’t need
justice. I won't blame Fabian and Dolly for this. I just hope that this will not happen again and that you all can treat
Zac better."
Jimmy could do nothing else in front of the public.
