Olivia stared blankly at Wayne.
Tears were rolling down her face. "The one who wants to kill her wasn't me, it was Maddie."
She said word by word.
She wanted to pin this crime on Maddie too.
"All I did was knowing about it and not telling you. Why would I tell you? I just wanted her to disappear, and then you'd come back to me!"
"I was never yours," Wayne endured the severe headache and stood up, "You saved my life before, and you were forced to marry because of me. I do owe you."
Olivia looked at Wayne.
It seemed like a sudden, invisible barrier had formed around him.
The distance between the two of them had gone from not being too close to feeling like they were separated by mountains and seas.
"Wayne…"
"But these years, I think I've given you everything I could. Now I'll give you back your life." Wayne looked at Olivia, his eyes completely devoid of warmth, "You stay here for now, and I'll go talk to Mrs. Silverman. Once she agrees, I'll let you go. From then on, we'll have nothing to do with each other and never see each other again."
"No…" Olivia struggled to get up, trying to hold onto him.
But Ableson quickly reached out, pretending to help her, while actually subduing her. "Ms. Whaley, be careful…"
"Let me go!" Olivia struggled desperately.
Wayne left without looking back, supported by others.
Hearing the sound of a car starting outside, Ableson let go of her. "Ms. Whaley, my job here is done, so I'll take my leave."
Olivia stood there, looking shaky.
People in the living room gradually left, leaving her alone.
Confused, she turned around, her gaze suddenly meeting the photo of Maddie on the urn.
"Ah!"
