Jimmy stepped forward with great interest and grabbed Olivia from behind Zac.
He touched Olivia’s face before smiling creepily. “Don’t you think it’s bad luck that you look exactly like

Jimmy looked like he had seen through them and said with a smile, “I don’t believe a substitute would
go out of her way to stalk me. Am I right, Ms. Larson?”
Before Zac could speak, Olivia clenched her fists, choked back her fear, and looked up, saying, ” Mr.
Quinton, I think you misunderstood. I’m not Olivia Larson, who you mentioned. My name is
Phoebe James.”
“Phoebe James?”
Jimmy said her name with a half-smile before sneering, “Are there really two people that look so
similar?”
“Yes, it’s a wide world. It’s not the first time I’ve been mistaken either.”
With that said, Olivia glanced at Zac and said, “When I met Zac, he mistook me for Olivia Larson too.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t have gotten acquainted.”
“Oh?” Jimmy glanced at Zac. “Zac, do you think of Ms. James as Olivia’s substitute?”
“Mr. Quinton, what does being friends have to do with substituting? Besides, no matter how much

With that said, he walked out of the basement without looking back and slammed the iron door shut.
It all happened so fast that Olivia did not even have time to process it. She was still dumbfounded for a
moment.
Zac’s face swelled after getting slapped. He walked to a sink nearby, spat a mouthful of blood, and
washed his hands.
“Liv…”
After what Jimmy had said, Zac knew he probably would not have a chance to stay with her even if
they could get out of there.
Olivia looked up at him like she had just sobered up and asked, “Zac, is your face okay?”
With that said, she walked over and touched it. Frowning, she took out a handkerchief and wetted it at

“Liv, I…”
Olivia pressed her lips together and interrupted, “You didn’t want to marry because of me?”
