Chapter 75: Grounded

Olivia's POV

I was confused, stunned, and completely thrown off. Who the hell was behind these gifts? And how the hell did he know I had a fever last night?

"Olivia… don't keep me silent… speak, Olivia… who the hell is he?" Lennox demanded furiously. His anger was palpable, suffocating.

I swallowed hard and lifted my eyes to meet his. "Lennox, like I said, I don't know who the hell sent this. If I knew, I would have said so."

"Lies!" Louis growled, stepping forward until he stood right in front of me. His brown eyes had darkened with rage, and the sheer intensity of his glare sent a shiver down my spine.

"You're lying, Olivia. You know who sent this," he barked. "And you're going to tell us who the hell that bastard is!"

My frown deepened as I looked at the teddy bear, then back at the three of them. Each one of them seething with uncontained fury. It clearly wasn't from any of them. So, if it wasn't… then who? Who would do this? Who would send this gift just to stir up trouble?

My gaze swept the room again… and landed on Anita.

She was smirking.

Smirking, as if this was all some entertaining drama she had front-row seats to.

"You!" I spat in anger, my chest heaving as I stormed toward Anita. Her smug expression only fueled my rage.

"You did this, didn't you?!" I shouted, pointing at the teddy bear as if it were the smoking gun. "You sent that damn gift just to stir the pot, just to get me into trouble!"
