Chapter 157
The first person to spot Olivia was Dorothy.
She initially panicked, but then she grabbed John’s hand and put her head against his chest. She
simpered. “Johnny, since the guests are not all here yet, why don’t you take a walk with me in the
garden? I want to look at the stars with you.”
Perhaps John was feeling bad after their fight last night, so he nodded even though he was reluctant.
“Alright.”
Olivia saw the two walk to the garden from the door. Her heart tightened, but she quickly came back to
her senses and walked toward Aaron.
“Aaron.”
Aaron turned around. When he saw Olivia, he instinctively took a step back like he had just seen a ghost.
Olivia frowned. “What’s wrong? Did I scare you?”
“N-no. I called you today, but you didn’t answer, so I thought you weren’t coming.”

Aaron handed her a glass of wine. The right arm that he extended ached a bit, which made him feel
uneasy.
“Aaron, did Johnny cause trouble for you yesterday?”
Aaron pressed his lips together. “Not really. He warned me just like last time, but since I made that
promise to you, I’ll keep it.”
John’s methods were very scary, so that was why Aaron was still fearful.
Olivia could tell how uneasy he was, so she lowered her head to smile softly. “If it’s not easy for you to
help me, it’s fine. I understand.”
She felt vigilant around him, especially when she recalled those fictitious things. Aaron had said in front
of John.
When he saw Olivia turning around to leave, he was anxious, so he reached out to grab her.
“Liv, we grew up together, so of course, I’m willing to help you even though Mr. Freeman’s methods are a
little scary.”
“What did he do to you yesterday?”
Aaron pressed his lips together and reached out with his right arm. He forced a smile and said, “He
asked someone to dislocate my right arm yesterday.”
Olivia shuddered. She knew how cruel John was.
However, she could tell he had gone easy on Aaron by just dislocating his arm.
“I’m sorry, my husband… is quite possessive.”
“Liv, it isn’t your fault. I fixed my arm, but I was shocked.”
After he said that, he looked at her sadly. “I’m worried about you. Are you safe living with him?”
She did not want to talk about that. “Is Mr. Winston here already?”
“Yeah, he’s here. He’s over there. Let me call him over.”
“Okay.”
After a while, Aaron walked over with Mr. Winston. However, before they could say. anything, Dorothy

More importantly, John had spotted Olivia.
Her red dress was too eye-catching, so he spotted her the moment he walked in.
He let go of Dorothy and walked over aggressively.
The woman he had looked for the entire day and night and could not find was at the party with Aaron,
and she was dressed so nicely. This truly hurt him.
John grabbed Olivia’s wrist and pulled her harshly into his arms. “So, Olivia, you still know to come back
home, huh?”
She struggled, but she was weak, so she could not escape his grip.
“Johnny, let go!”
John held her thin waist, and his deep eyes stared coldly at Aaron. “Mr. Summers, thank you for looking
after my wife.”
His tone sounded calm, but there was a hint of a threat laced between his words.
Aaron swallowed nervously. “Mr. Freeman, Liv and I grew up together, so of course I should help her. I’ll
still say that even if you beat me up again.”
