I’m Someone Else

Chapter 125

“Okay!” Olivia nodded with bright, blissful eyes.

She was finally going to live a life she could call her own! Oh! I must remember to get Ophelie to move in with me. I can’t let her stay with Grandpa Harrison alone.

Thomas went into the bathroom and washed his wounds with warm water before replacing their bandages. As soon as he came out, he saw that Olivia was all dressed up to go out too.

“Are you going out?” he asked.

“Yeah. I want to bring Ophelie over here.”

“Give me a minute. I’ll go with you.”

He was too worried to let her leave by herself. It made sense—after all, someone had tried to kill her when she was at home eating breakfast. She would only be a sitting duck if she went out on the streets alone.

I already know the locations of the five remaining members of Minacia Oito anyway. A short delay won’t change much, Thomas thought.

Olivia blushed. I don’t know why but taking Thomas to Grandpa Harrison’s place makes it feel like I’m bringing my boyfriend over to meet my family.

However, she immediately figured out that he was probably just concerned about her safety.

Soon, they left the house and drove off. Along the way, Olivia stopped by the commercial district to buy some gifts.

With her providing Thomas with the directions, they soon pulled up outside Denver Residence.

Ding-dong! Ding-dong!

Olivia rang the doorbell, and a housekeeper came to answer the door.

“Is my grandpa at home?”

The housekeeper quickly nodded. “Yes, he is. Please come in.”

When they entered the house, they saw Harrison sitting on the couch in the living room.

“Grandpa Harrison!”

“Olivia!”

Harrison stood up at once when he saw his granddaughter. “Come! Sit down. Let me take a good look at you.”

He greeted Thomas with a simple nod. His impression of the young man wasn’t all that great, as the latter had disregarded him when they were at the hospital.

That being said, Harrison knew he could not offend Thomas. Even Rafael—someone of a mighty background—treated Thomas with the utmost respect, so naturally, an old man like him had to be even more cautious.

“Grandpa Harrison, where’s Ophelie? I came to pick her up and have her move in with me.”

Olivia looked around and saw no sign of Ophelie, so she told Harrison why she had come.

Harrison sighed. He wanted his granddaughters to stay with him. Or, at the very least, Harrison wished Ophelie could stay with him for a month or so. However, since Olivia came to get her sister, he wasn’t going to bring it up.

Thankfully, the two young women wouldn’t be moving to somewhere far away. They were all in the same city, so he could always drop by to see them when he missed them.

“Your Aunt Bella took her shopping. It’ll be a while before they get back. Stay for lunch, Olivia. You’re going to have to wait a while for Ophelie anyway.”

Olivia instinctively turned to Thomas.

She didn’t know if he had other matters to attend to, but they couldn’t stay at Denver Residence for lunch if he needed to leave soon.

Thomas nodded at her. It was perfectly normal that Olivia’s grandfather wanted her to stay for lunch. It wouldn’t be right for him to stop her.

Meanwhile, Harrison caught the exchange and thought to himself, Olivia seems to depend on Thomas a lot.

Thomas was wise enough to sit in the corner and drink his tea in silence. He killed time by reading the newspaper.

On the other hand, Olivia and Harrison sat together as they chatted. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Did you know, Olivia? When your mother was young, she was beautiful as you are now. Many of Irieson’s young men cried their hearts out when she got married! Hahaha! After you were born, they brought you to the house when you were only a month old, and you were so scared of strangers that you wailed so hard. Your grandma and I had to try all sorts of tricks to get you to stop. You wore us out!”

As Harrison reminisced over the past, his nose prickled and he couldn’t stop his tears from falling.

Time flew by so quickly. In the blink of an eye, the baby girl had become the most beautiful female entrepreneur in Irieson, and… it had been so many years since his eldest daughter passed away.

Olivia teared up as well, though she resisted the urge to cry. She didn’t want her grandfather to see the weak side of her. It was a habit she slowly developed ever since her mother’s death.

She did her best to stay strong in front of others. She would grit her teeth and bite her tongue to choke back her emotions, and she only allowed herself to cry when she was alone.

Would Gavin have dared to come back to the Pearsons if Mom was still around? Would he have dared to harass us? Would he have dared to hit me? Olivia couldn’t help but wonder.

Soon, Ophelie came back with a mountain of bags in hand. As soon as she spotted Olivia, she tossed the bags aside and rushed into Olivia’s arms.

“What took you so long, Olivia? I thought you were abandoning me! I… I was on the verge of calling you!”

“I came over to get you as soon as I was done with everything,” Olivia said with a smile.

“Come. Let’s eat!” Harrison wiped his tears and ushered everyone to the dining room.

Thomas sat beside Olivia and focused on eating. He didn’t say a single word.

He knew he was the only outsider present; he didn’t fit in at the table.

After lunch, Olivia asked him, “I want to spend a bit more time with my grandpa, Thomas. Can we leave a little later?”

She prioritized her family a lot. Ever since her mother died, she rarely came over to Denver Residence. She figured she wouldn’t be able to drop by all that frequently in the future, either. So, since she was

here now, she wanted to spend a little more time with Harrison.

Thomas nodded in agreement and checked the time. It was time for him to go after those five men and get his revenge. “Stay here and don’t go anywhere. I’ll come and pick you up at 10.00PM.”

“Okay.”

As he left, Olivia stood and watched until the Maserati disappeared into the distance before she withdrew her gaze.

Harrison sighed and shook his head. He realized that his granddaughter’s feelings for Thomas were probably quite serious!

This Thomas is a mysterious man. Even Rafael Mazer—an exceedingly influential man—listens to his orders. I should be happy that Olivia has such a capable man protecting her, but I just can’t bring myself to feel any joy. That day will soon be upon us. I wonder if this will turn out to be a blessing or a curse.

On the northern outskirts of Irieson.

Inside Villa No. 13 of Ouranos Residences, Dick Aldrich—the second member of Minacia Oito Irieson— was smoking a cigarette as he read the document he was holding.

It was submitted to him by his subordinates in charge of tailing Zoe. It contained a list of her recent activities, including information about the people she met.

However, none of the people she had contact with thus far could be the killer!

“Is this all the information you have?” Dick tossed the document aside and questioned the subordinate in front of him.
