John would probably not believe her even if she told him everything.

In the middle of the standoff, Dorothy lay in John’s arms and cried, “Johnny, please don’t blame Liv for this. It’s me… It’s because of me… I saw something I shouldn’t have seen. That’s why she strangled me.”

“She strangled you?”

John looked at Dorothy’s neck and saw visible finger marks on her fair and flawless skin. His gaze darkened, and he questioned sternly, “Olivia, did you strangle her?”

Knowing she could not deny it, Olivia took a deep breath and nodded. “Yes, I did. It’s because…”

Before she could finish, John snapped at her. “Dorothy, tell me why she strangled you!”

Dorothy glanced at Olivia cautiously, then looked at John with fear. She bit her lips. “Johnny, it’s alright. I’m fine. Let’s forget about it. Pretend you didn’t see that, okay?” “Speak!”

John only said one word, yet it suffocated Olivia.

She knew Dorothy would twist the truth.
