Olivia froze. She had not expected John to return so soon.

Before she could speak, Zac spoke up. “We’re just having breakfast. You can join us.”

‘Join them?’

John’s eyes were dark and scary as he grew more malicious.

His deep eyes looked over Zac and Olivia. The nightgown she was wearing stung his eyes.

After hearing that she had been discharged from the hospital, he rushed back to check on her—only to find her dressed inappropriately and having breakfast with another man!

He reached around Zac to grab Olivia by the hair and pin her down on the dining table.

“Olivia, are you cheating on me when I’m not looking? You’re even cheating with someone so close to me!”

Olivia was in pain as she struggled to break free from John, but he reached out with his other hand and grabbed her jaw so hard his knuckles turned white.

Zac could not stand it anymore. He pushed John away and stood in front of Olivia to protect her.

“John, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill her?”

“Stay out of this!”

John’s eyes glimmered icily. He gazed coldly at Zac and sneered. “Ha! Zac, I didn’t know you liked Olivia.

“In case you forgot, she’s my wife! She’s still mine, even in death!”

Having been friends for so long, Zac was not afraid of John.

“Now you remember that she’s your wife?

“Where were you when she was so hungry that she was forced to eat soap? Where were you when she lost a piece of flesh from her hand? Where were you when she was about to bleed to death?”

John’s throat tightened as if it was blocked by the rebuttal.

‘When did she eat soap?

‘Would a proud woman like Olivia be so hungry she would eat soap?

‘I don’t believe it.’

John’s sinister eyes looked at the frail woman hiding behind Zac. “I don’t believe it!”

‘He doesn’t believe it?’

Olivia suddenly found herself feeling pathetic.
