Chapter 945

Olivia felt Ian tremble. Then he shook her hand away, looked at Xavier, and asked, "Who are you? What do you mean by that?" Xavier looked at Olivia and then at him. "Pheebs, doesn't he know Fred's your brother?" "Fred?" Ian's expression sank as he turned around to ask Olivia, "Who's Fred?" Olivia glared at Xavier, pulled Ian aside, and muttered, "Ian, the guy earlier doesn't know who I really am. Don't let him find out you're my biological brother." "Why? Am I embarrassing? Or is Fred better? Now that Dorothy has been arrested, what are you afraid of? Why won't you reveal your true identity?" Ian broke free from her and looked at her coldly. "Olivia, how many times do you have to hurt me before you're satisfied?" Olivia frowned, distraught. "Ian, that's not it. Will you let me explain?" "Explain? You do have some explaining to do." Ian sneered. "Have you been a sister to Fred these past four years?" Olivia was speechless for a moment. She knew what Ian cared about, but her lying would only make things more complicated, so she could only stay silent. Seeing that she was silent, Ian took a step back. "Why? Is it because I will eventually forgive you for everything you do, so I'm not important to you? "You'd rather go into hiding and be someone's sister for four years than come back and visit me! You made me visit your grave and cried over you for four years, but you were being a sister to someone else." Olivia reached out to grab him, but Ian ducked away. "I shouldn't have come today!" With that said, Ian walked out angrily. Olivia immediately ran after her. "Ian, don't go. I can explain." "Forget it. That's unnecessary. You'd better go to Fred. He's your brother." Ian was a little fast. Olivia, who had injured her leg, had a hard time catching up, but she managed to get in front of him and stopped him. "Ian, it's not what you think. There was nothing I could do. Besides, I didn't take care of him. He took care of me. That's all I can do." "That's all? What do you mean that's all? He can do it, but I can't?" Olivia pressed her lips together, her eyes welling up with tears. She begged humbly and sadly, "Ian, give me some time. I'll tell you everything." Ian looked up and sighed. "If you really cared for me, you would acknowledge me instead of making your own brother look like an outsider." Olivia looked at him for a moment before crying and shaking her head. "I'm sorry... Now is not the time..." Unable to stand it, Ian pushed her away. "Olivia, your apology is worthless!" "Ian... Ah!" Olivia, whose hand had not fully recovered, fell onto the floor after Ian pushed her. Ian watched her fall to the ground and took a step forward. Just as he bent over to help her, he saw Xavier rush toward her, and his expression changed instantly. He glared coldly at Olivia before walking away without looking back. "Pheebs? Are you alright?" Xavier helped her up. "Who is he? How could he do this to you? Shall I teach him a lesson?" "No!" Olivia quickly stopped him. "I'm alright. Let's go in and forget about him." Xavier looked at Ian's back and narrowed his eyes as the corners of his mouth vaguely curled upward.
