I’m Someone Else

Chapter 232

On the other hand, Leah did not feel any remorse for Olivia and instead thought that Olivia owed her a debt of gratitude.

If it weren’t for me, she would be facing certain death. Who cares about her happiness? After all, she will marry the Genius of Capitalis, so what more could she want? Does she know how many girls in Capitalis dream of marrying that genius? Moreover, what would become of her if I didn’t intervene? She would become a sacrifice for those higher-level individuals, subjected to humiliation before a brutal death. In other words, I ended up helping her rather than hurting her.

If there is anyone I should feel sorry for, it is Terrence. He is, after all, my first love, and I fell deeply in love with him when I lost my memories.

“Terrence, I’m sorry. Although I’m giving away the Pearson Family as a gift, rest assured, I will do everything in my power to protect your descendants. I don’t have a choice, and I can’t stand by and watch the Wilkersons suffer. Furthermore, your family will benefit from this because aligning with the forces behind that genius may even elevate the Pearson Family’s power to new levels. Your family has undergone significant changes and a severe loss of strength, and if I do not proceed according to my plan, your descendants may be wiped out. After all, your family holds such a significant position in the business world. You understand, don’t you?”

Meanwhile, Leah justified everything she did because she saw herself as Olivia and the Pearson Family’s savior. While she did have a backup plan to save Olivia, she insisted on having Olivia marry some self-proclaimed genius, and if Olivia complied, she would become a different type of “sacrifice.” In a nutshell, Leah was an egotistical, shameless woman who never hesitated to put her own needs before those of others. It was evident that she only cared about her own family’s interests and was unwilling to make any sacrifices, which prompted her to target the Pearson Family with the intention of gifting them to others. Therefore, what else could one call it besides shameless?

Ring! Ring! Her phone suddenly rang, and she quickly answered it. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Madam Wilkerson, the four individuals have been taken care of.”

“No evidence was left behind, right?”

“Rest assured. We were clean in our actions.”

“That’s good.” Leah breathed a sigh of relief. As long as those four are gone, there will be no obstacles in my way of taking over the Pearson Family forcibly.

It was hard to believe that it had only been a short while since Terrence’s passing, and yet this woman, whom he had loved so profoundly throughout his entire life, had already devised plans to take control of the Pearson Family.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Thomas told Olivia, “Stay here. I’m going out for a while but I’ll return within two hours.” Earlier, he had received a call from Chloe inviting him to dinner, and he would never refuse her invitation.

After hearing this, she nodded and smiled sweetly at him. “Go ahead. Drive safely.”

“Okay.” After uttering these words, he turned around and left. He could feel his body rapidly recovering, and although he was still far from his peak condition, it was good enough to handle someone like Blake.

It was already 8.00PM when he returned to his rented house, and as soon as he walked in, he noticed Molly sitting on the couch in the living room.

“Thomas!” When she saw him, she jumped from the couch and rushed to him in a few strides.

Then, Thomas fixed his gaze on her. It’s no surprise that Chloe unexpectedly called me back for dinner. She’s attempting to play matchmaker between me and Molly, but haven’t I clarified that I have no feelings for this woman? What is the point of Chloe’s constant meddling in my affair?

On the other hand, he had misunderstood his sister because it was Molly herself who wanted to play matchmaker, not Chloe. Molly couldn’t stand seeing him missing from work at Keyshire Property for two days, so she approached Chloe and asked for her assistance.

In contrast, Chloe also had feelings for him and naturally did not want him to end up with another woman. Nonetheless, she had no valid reason to deny Molly’s request, so she called and asked him to come home for dinner.

Meanwhile, Chloe was busy in the kitchen, but she whipped her head around to stare at Thomas anxiously when she heard his voice. “Thomas, stay strong and not let Molly’s sweet charms sway you! You can do it!” she murmured under her breath. I can only pray that he will not be attracted to Molly. I fear I will have nowhere to vent my sorrows if they end up together.

While cooking, she occasionally glanced at them in the living room. Thankfully, he acts just as he normally does while watching TV, completely oblivious to the stunning woman beside him. He reminds me of a block of wood when he is with women, but it may not be such a bad thing after all.

Despite this, Molly was restless and certain she was in love with Thomas. Today, I mustered the courage to ask Chloe for assistance, hoping for an opportunity to confess my feelings to this man so that even if he rejects me, I can put my heart at ease. “Thomas, stop watching the TV… Look at me, please,” she said, her voice trembling with excitement.

After hearing this, he paused, turned his head, and gazed at her. She is undeniably a rare beauty, with her delicate features, fair skin, and rosy lips.

However, she became visibly red-faced and felt as though butterflies were frantically fluttering around in her stomach. Molly, can’t you be a bit more composed? Just because he is glancing at you, you’re acting like this? How can you expect to confess to him like this? Don’t forget why you’re here today! “Phew!” Finally, after multiple self-affirmations, she regained her composure. “Thomas, there’s something I want to tell you,” she said, her voice slightly trembling from the excitement.

In the meantime, Thomas found her to be quite amusing. What is going on with her? What does she want to tell me? Why is her voice shaking like that? Then, he nodded and said, “Go ahead.”

“Well, during our first meeting, I—”

Crack! Crash! The kitchen was suddenly filled with the sound of glass shattering.

“Ah!” Immediately after, Chloe let out a scream of terror.

On the other hand, Molly had no idea what had happened because she saw a flash of something passing in front of her eyes, and she later realized that Thomas had “disappeared” from the couch!

A second later, he was standing in the kitchen, where he confronted three burly men who had entered through a broken window. One of them had a dagger aimed at Chloe, and she would have been killed if Thomas hadn’t arrived in time.
