In an instant , Julian Couldnt hear anything else ; his hands trembled as he pulled out the contents one by one . The deeper he looked , the darker his expression became ! At the Parker estate , Olivia was enjoying a sunbath when a jarring phone call interrupted her . She frowned , squinting at the screen without even checking the caller ID before answering . Hello ? The next moment , a venomous voice spat through the phone . Have you forgot about me after becoming Mrs. Parker ? Olivia paused , a cold laugh escaping her lips . Forget ? How could I possibly forget ? Youre the worst killer Ive ever hired ! I paid you a fortune , and you didnt even manage to kill anyone for me . If I were you , I wouldve offed myself by now . As Olivia spoke , a dark figure silently appeared behind the glass doors of the conservatory . The newly bloomed roses couldnt conceal Julians intense gaze . The moment Olivia hung up , he quietly pushed open the glass door and stepped toward her . Then came a piercing scream from the glass greenhouse . Ah- ! BOOM ! 14:20 1.6 % < 11 Menu A thunderclap split the sky , and in the pouring rain , a blood soaked woman was hurriedly loaded into an ambulance by a group of panicked servants . Under the rain soaked night , the blood pooling beneath Olivia was washed away , leaving only faint traces . A pair of black shoes walked away , leaving only faint traces of blood . The chaos at the Parker estate didnt reach me in England . Before coming here , I meticulously examined my body , ensuring no visible scars remained . Only then did I feel at ease returning to England , back to the Smith family . The events of my past life should have ended with my departure . I didnt want my aunt or my fiance burdened by my experiences . But little did I know , two people had secretly investigated my past upon my return to the Smith family . One of them was , of course , my aunt . Ever since she established herself in England , she had wanted to bring me over . But I had stubbornly refused to come for Julian , and suddenly saying I wanted to come was out of character for me . So , my aunt discreetly looked into my past in the country . When those bloody photos were presented to her , it was the first time she felt rage . Her beloved niece had been bullied by someone her sister and brother in law thought was trustworthy ! And Julian , the man shed trusted , had mistreated her niece this way for a murderer carrying multiple lives on their shoulders ! Fury spread through her chest ; Clara felt her brother in law had made a terrible mistake . Yes , her niece had made mistakes , but Julian could have just called her to handle things ! Instead , he not only didnt inform Clara , but also repeatedly sought my life ! If it werent for Julians past kindness towards me , Clara would have flown back to the States to deal with him . 14:20 1.6 % < 11 Menu So , after calming down for a while , Clara decided to sever ties with the Parker family . She repaid the money Julian had spent on me tenfold , depositing it into their accounts . Thus , the debt to Julian was settled . To thank Julian for his care , Clara created two copies of the evidence against Olivia , sending one to the Parker family and the other to the local police station . Originally , Clara wanted to discuss it with me , but seeing my reluctance to revisit the past , she ultimately said nothing . The other person investigating my past was my fiance , William , CEO of Black Corporation . As the future Mrs.Black and a member of their family , he wanted to understand my character in advance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings later on . So when William saw what I endured in the Parker family , he was equally shocked , but along with that shock came a sense of heartache . He believed everyone deserved to pursue love . While my initial pursuit of Julian was obsessive , after losing hope , Id done everything to avoid him . But strangely , my attempts to evade him didnt lead to him letting go . And in all this , Julian bore the greater responsibility ; with just a little digging , he could have realized how problematic his so called beloved truly was . Unfortunately , love had blinded him . Thinking of this , a glimmer of disdain crossed Williams eyes as he regarded Julian like a fool . He casually tossed the documents in the trash . My past was just something for him to be aware of , a way to keep his heart in check . He wouldnt bring it up in front of me , nor would he let anyone else pick at my wounds .
