Chapter 507: Unable to Bear This Torment
The two of them looked at the same sky together over the phone.
Evelyn felt something seemed to be quietly growing.
She suddenly realised that she probably has feelings for Benjamin, and that explains why she felt sorry for him and wanted to be kind to him!
This kind of feeling came slowly. At that moment, both of them quietly, watching the night sky, neither of them saying a word.
On the other side, The Hamilton Mansion.
Finnegan, who usually went to bed early, was still wide awake.
He was completely worked up because Andrew.
The hall was brightly lit, and his voice boomed.
"Your skills are really commendable! Something serious happened to Olivia, and you didn't say a word about it. You concealed it so well!
Am I really that harsh?
Didn't I already agree to let you two be together?
Why would you hide it from me?
If I hadn't seen Olivia with my own eyes today, I wouldn't have known something happened to her. You would have continued hiding it!"
He was really upset with Andrew.
Andrew allowed him vent. When he had almost finished, Andrew finally spoke to comfort him, "I didn't say anything because I was worried about your health.
I know you care about Olivia an if you knew about this, you'd definitely worry as much as we did.
The test results weren't ready at the time, so telling you wouldn't have helped.
She's back now and you also know what happened. No big deal."
The realization that Andrew dismissed his wrong with no remorse made Finnegan even angrier than he was earlier.
He paced back and forth in the hall, scolding, "How is it not a big deal? Look at what Olivia has become!"
After scolding Andrew, he thought of the person who started it all and continued to criticize, "The Johnson family must be really shameless!
They couldn't take care of her, yet, they continued pestering her even after the breakup! They even wanted to take her—they want all the good things! So greedy!"
After scolding, he looked at Andrew again and asked, "You just came back like that? Didn't you teach them a good lesson?"
Andrew knew he stood up for Olivia, so he put his grudges aside and obediently replied, "I did."
He told Finnegan what he had done.
After hearing it, Finnegan was still angry, "That's it? That's not enough! You should be more ruthless!
They hurt Olivia so much and made her forget everything. Bianca must have been scared too. How can you let them off so easily?
If you ask me, it would be best to bring down the Johnson family!"
Listening to Finnegan's orders, Andrew's lips curved up slightly.
Who would have thought same Finnegan was against them being together as a couple?
But seeing him defend Olivia like this made Andrew very happy.
So he patiently explained to Finnegan, "Bringing them down is possible, but it would take time.
The Johnson family isn't some small household. They've been established in Emerald City for years with strong connections. They won't fall that easily.
The current head, Michael, is careful and calculating. He's not an easy person to deal with."
Finnegan glared at him and said, "Don't exaggerate other people's power while underestimating yours. Do you think you're inferior compared to him? Even if he's hard to deal with, he is not match for you.
Anyway, you have to get justice for the wrongs done to Olivia and Bianca!"
Patrick and Jessica watched Finnegan defend Olivia and couldn't help but tease him with a smile, "You used to be the one who opposed them the most, and now you've become Olivia's biggest defender."
"Yeah, Andrew, you better step it up, or Olivia's family will start doubting whether your feelings for her are strong enough."
Anna suddenly remembered something and looking at Finnegan suspiciously, she asked, "Grandpa cares so much about Olivia—is it because she can treat Andrew?"
She hadn't forgotten that Andrew had used this reason to convince him back then.
Finnegan didn't deny it, but he also defended himself, "That's part of it, but it's only one reason.
I'm not someone who can't tell right from wrong. Don't ruin my reputation!"
After spending time with her recently, he could tell that Olivia was a good person, and he genuinely accepted her wholeheartedly.
Except for the fact that she was divorced, no young lady in Harmont city was a better contender, in all ramifications.
Deep down, he had already accepted that she would be his future granddaughter-in-law.
Based on that, he found it insulting that she was being bullied, and he couldn't accept that.
Patrick and Jessica couldn't hold back laughter.
They had actually known about this before Finnegan and had helped Andrew hide it from Finnegan.
Now that the cat was out of the bag, they could finally ask Andrew about the details, "How is Olivia now? Can her condition get better?"
Andrew nodded and said, "Yes, we have to trust Mr. McCoy and the others to develop an antidote."
As he was speaking, Bianca called him. He answered in an instant.
Finnegan also looked over curiously.
"Bianca, what's wrong?" Andrew asked Bianca in a gentle tone.
Bianca's voice carried some unease and urgency, "Daddy, when are you coming back? Mommy has a headache."
Hearing this, Andrew's heart tightened, and he immediately replied, "I'm coming back right now!"
He hung up the phone and was about to tell Finneganbut the members of the Hamilton family had also heard Bianca's words and quickly waved their hands gesturing him to leave, "Don't say anything, hurry back and see how she's doing."
Andrew nodded and quickly left.
When he arrived, Olivia was lying in bed with her eyes closed, looking very unsettled, her brows tightly furrowed.
Andrew's heart clenched.
"Olivia, how are you?"
Hearing his voice, Olivia opened her eyes to look at him. Her eyes were moist and she looked very weak, "Honey, my head hurts so much."
Her soft voice carried a whiny grievance that melted Andrew's heart.
He supported Olivia and coaxed her in a very gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, I'll massage it for you. You'll feel better in a bit."
"Okay."
Olivia affectionately leaned toward him and laid her head on his lap.
Andrew raised his hand to her temples and gently rubbed them. His fingers were flexible, and he applied the perfect amount of pressure.
Olivia felt the sharp pain in her head gradually dissipate during the massage. Her whole body felt comfortable and relaxed.
Afterwards, she fell into a deep sleep. Andrew also dimmed the bedside lamp and carefully held her, laying beside her.
At this time, The Kingsley Manor.
Aurelia had also been following Benjamin's arrangements for Lilly's funeral.
At the same time, the bodyguard she sent to watch brought back news, telling her that on this trip to Emerald City, Olivia was attacked, as a result, she lost her memory, and forgot about Andrew and everyone around her.
This news left Aurelia shocked.
Olivia actually lost her memory?
Beneath the surprise, Aurelia was actually happy.
She felt this was an unexpected win for her!
The Olivia she knew was hard to approach because they were at odds when they first met.
But now that Olivia had lost her memory, perhaps this was a good opportunity for her to get close again?
Maybe she could use this chance to send Olivia away!
A cunning calculation flashed in Aurelia's eyes.
She immediately ordered Owen, "Go leak the news of Olivia's memory loss to Charlotte and Sophia.
These two idiots didn't seize the opportunity before. Now I'm handing the opportunity to them on a silver platter. If they want revenge, they better be smart about it themselves.
If they're going to act, then help them out. Also, tell them Olivia's whereabouts."
She hoped Charlotte and Sophia wouldn't disappoint her this time.
"Yes!"
Owen immediately left to follow the orders.
Charlotte had been feeling uneasy these past few days.
Even though Aurelia provided new information, she didn't dare act rashly.
"When Olivia left Harmony City to Emerald City, I couldn't find a chance to deal with her.
Now that she's back in Harmony City and with Andrew watching her so closely. Can I really succeed? You're overestimating me!"
Owen saw that she was getting cold feet and started to provoke her, "Yes, Olivia is cherished by Andrew and Michael. But you? You only have eyes for a playboy!
He continued, "Iknow quite a bit—he's actively chasing you while also keeping several sugar babies in the same complex as you. If you don't believe me, you can check out unit 902 in building ten next door, or unit 701 in building three."
"Enough! Stop talking!"
Charlotte was gritting her teeth, already furious.
She had thought that man was completely devoted to her.
She didn't expect that a man could say one thing and do another!
If she were still the valued daughter of the Ross family as before, who would dare treat her like this?
Owen didn't stop, "Have you forgotten who made you end up like this?"
Of course Charlotte knew—it was because of Olivia!
Hatred washed away her sense of reasoning. Her last bit of hesitation disappeared, and she immediately agreed, "Don't say anymore, I'll work with you!"
After she agreed, Sophia was even more willing.
She had gone to Emerald City a few days ago, and upon returning, she was beaten half to death by that perverted old man.
The reason was that she left without saying anything, and she went to Emerald City to find Michael.
That man felt she had betrayed him, so when she came back, he tied her up with rope, hung her up in the room, and tortured her viciously. His behavior was perverted and disgusting.
Sophia was badly hurt and was forced to lie in bed for two days, unable to get up.
Now hearing news about Olivia, she only felt satisfied!
But just losing her memory—that kind of harm wasn't enough!
She was in a much worse state than Olivia, and it was all thanks to Olivia!
Sophia hated Olivia to the core. No matter what, she had to make Olivia taste what she had tasted!
Sophia said to Owen, "I can agree to work with you, but I have one condition!"
Owen said, "Name it."
"I want you to help me escape my current situation! As long as I can escape this man's clutches, I'm willing to do anything!"
She really couldn't take it anymore and didn't want to continue being tortured like this!
