Chapter 8
Olivia looked at the brat’s photo and felt gratified that he was a kid that she had raised his whole life.
Even though he was wreaking havoc everywhere, he still missed her.
Still, she wasn’t too surprised William was investigating her.
When she came back last night, she had put in a lot of effort to avoid his hacker’s pursuit.
Fortunately, they didn’t find any traces of her visit to the Kinsmans’ residence.
Her men had even erased the helicopter’s route.
She also decided to leave Ezra be. Since the brat grew up without a dad, she didn’t mind letting him
enjoy himself for a few days.
Ezra had grown up quite a bit, after all. It was about time that he made things difficult for his dad.
She typed quickly on the keyboard, “Don’t worry, he’ll never find me. But be careful. I’ll pick you up in a
few days.”
She sent the message and then got up to check on Lucian.
Lucian’s injuries were too severe. Even though his life was no longer in danger, it would take some time
for him to recover.
He had yet to wake up from yesterday’s operation, and this worried her immensely. She had been
staying here since returning from the Kinsmans’ residence for fear that he would be scared if he woke
up alone.
He must have suffered a lot in the past few years.
Thinking of this, Olivia felt sad.
She should have come back sooner!
William despised her, so how could he treat her child well?
She should have thought of this earlier!
Olivia felt a surge of guilt overwhelm her. Her heart twinged with so much pain that she almost couldn’t
breathe.
Suddenly, her phone rang, bringing her back to her senses. She went outside to answer it.
“Miss Clarke, Gianna Clarke has called us hundreds of times. She insists on meeting the chairman of
the Charity Commission.”
“Ha. She sure is impatient.”
“Of course she is. She spent more than three million to clear the trending topics yesterday and she’s
finally seeing results. Naturally, she’s anxious to get the Charity Commission to clear her name.”
“She’s trying to get away with just three million after all we did to get her trending? That’d be a waste of
all our hard work. Tell the team to go even harder. Tell her that we won’t drop the trending topics and
the chairman won’t see her either.”
“Got it. I’m on it!” Gideon said. He put down his phone and immediately arranged another wave of
breaking news to be released.
Olivia ended the call and found that Ezra had sent her another message.
Leaning against the wall of the hospital, she clicked on the Skype message.
“Cr p! Cra p! First-cla** alarm! Hurry up and hide, Mom! The jerk is using me as an excuse to go to the
hospital to mess with you!”
Olivia’s eyelids twitched after seeing this message. Just as she was about to turn around and go back,
she saw a gloomy face.
The owner of the gloomy face was none other than the jerk that Ezra was talking about.
William was standing just a few steps away from her, looking tall and strong.
He was dressed in a high-end custom black suit, making him look noble and domineering. When his
unfathomable eyes fell on her, she felt a
chill.
Staring at her like an enemy, he opened his thin lips to say, “Olivia Clarke!”
Olivia panicked a little. She didn’t expect him to find her name so quickly. But then again, she should’ve
seen this coming.
He was, after all, William Kinsman, the most powerful man in Melburgh.
She adjusted her mood and tucked her hair behind her ear with feigned composure. Putting on a
charming smile on her pretty face, she said, “I see you went out of your way to learn my name, Mr.
Kinsman. Did you come here to ‘run’ into me? You didn’t have to do that. If you’re interested in getting
to know me, you can just add me on Skype. After all, I’m just like you. I can’t resist good-looking
people.”
She placed her fair and thin fingers on his chest, playfully running them down his collar, and then
pinched his abs without hesitation.

She made no secret of the fact that she was flirting with him.
Marshall, who was standing beside them, was stunned by her daring move.
“Did Mr. Kinsman just get molested by a woman in public?
“What kind of shocking secret is this? Should I really be seeing this?” he wondered.
When Marshall saw William’s gloomy face, he wished he could blind himself.
William didn’t think this woman would be so shameless!
He grabbed her hand, which was pinching his abs, and pulled her toward him. “You’re called Olivia
Clarke, just like that woman. You even visited the old man’s grave on his death anniversary. Don’t you
think this is too much of a coincidence?”
Instantly, Olivia turned cold. The teasing look in her eyes when she looked at William was replaced by
coldness instead.
“You’re hurting me, Mr. Kinsman!”
“Explain yourself or I don’t mind hurting you further!”
“Hurt me further?
“I experienced it five years ago!” she thought.
With a twist of her wrist, Olivia broke free from his grip.
She took a few steps back and looked at him mockingly.
“Old Mr. Kinsman helped me in Melburgh years ago, so I brought him some flowers after coming back.
“But what I’d like to ask is,” Olivia said, “why did someone as kind as old Mr. Kinsman die just like that?
Not only did you fail to protect him, but you also refused to let anyone visit his grave. What kind of
grandson are you?”
William’s expression darkened completely.
Everyone felt a chill down their spine.
William clenched his fists. He didn’t expect this woman to be so bold. She not only shut him up with
lengthy rhetorics, but also dared to question him!
She even said that he didn’t deserve to be his grandfather’s grandson! This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
She even asked why his grandfather had died so early!
It was all because of the woman named Olivia Clarke. She had lied to him, betrayed him, and played
him like a fool!
Now another woman named Olivia Clarke was defying him to his face. He almost lost control of his
emotions and strangled her to death!
But he still held himself back.
For some reason, this woman felt very familiar to him.
The familiarity frightened him.
Even the way she questioned him was very similar to that of the real Olivia Clarke!
Was this really just a coincidence?
The tension was so thick that you could cut it with a knife.
Even Olivia’s palms were sweating under his furious gaze.
Suddenly, someone broke the deathly silencel
“Here you are, Will Luci’s examination is over. We should go!”
Jameson walked toward them with Ezra in his arms. When he saw Olivia, his eyes instantly widened.
Words escaped his mouth before he could stop them.
‘Olivia Clarke? You’re alive?”
Olivia was speechless
She never thought that Jameson would recognize her Fortunately, she had changed her appearance
and made herself look very different from before. Otherwise, she would be completely exposed.
Ezra, who was sitting in Jameson’s arms, also looked stupefied.
Jameson was amazing How did he recognize his mom at a glance when she was in disguise?

But that wasn’t the point. The point was that he was caught off guard and allowed that scu mbag to
pester his mom!
He blinked hard, trying to ask his mom what was going on and if she needed his help.
Olivia secretly gave him a rea**uring look.
“You are…?” She looked at Jameson with feigned confusion.
Jameson felt a sense of intimacy when he looked at Olivia, especially her eyes. This made him lose his
composure.
