I’m Someone Else

Chapter 180

Terrence got up and went back to his bedroom. Twenty minutes later, a lovely young lady came in and bowed. “Master.” She was in professional attire, and her hair was tied up in a bun. She had a body to die for, but bizarrely, this woman looked just like Olivia.

“Are you ready, Shadow?” Terrence wasn’t sick at all. That sickly appearance was just an effect of a drug. He did that so he could lure Olivia back and switch her out with Shadow to keep Olivia in the family. This was his last resort. Thomas was Olivia’s protector, and Terrence was scared of him. Thus, he had to use a trick to fool him. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Terrence was a paranoid man even to his family. He already had a backup plan prepared more than ten years ago. Olivia might grow up to be an unwilling sacrifice. If she was willing to do it, then all would be well, but if the opposite was true, then they must have another plan in mind.

A lot of girls would yearn for love once they grow up, and Shadow was the plan to deal with the matter. Shadow was an orphan he adopted, and she was put through professional and stringent training since she was a child to mimic Olivia’s aura. Once she came of age, Shadow was sent overseas to change her appearance into that of Olivia’s.

If Olivia were to fall in love, then Shadow would be used to fool her boyfriend. Well, if Olivia’s boyfriend was just a weakling, then Terrence would just kill him off without using Shadow. Still, at this point, Terrence realized his decision was correct. Thomas had become Olivia’s boyfriend, and he was a terrifyingly strong enemy. It was possible to kill him if he used all the family’s trump cards, but that would be a heavier price to pay.

“Don’t worry, master. I know what I should do. I won’t disappoint you. This mission will be a success,” said Shadow confidently.

“Good. Olivia’s handbag is on the couch. Take it. From now on, you are no longer Shadow. From now on, you are Olivia,” said Terrence. He’s going to come any minute now.

“Of course.” Shadow came to the lounge and picked up Olivia’s bag, then she waited for her guest to come.

Nobody could’ve guessed that Terrence would even spring a trap on his own granddaughter. Perhaps that cruelty was why most people in Irieson were scared of him.

Thomas came a while later, and Shadow had been waiting. She looked, dressed, and acted just like Olivia. Thomas didn’t suspect anything, and he drove her back to the villa.

Thomas looked out the window and sneered. “You think you can win this fight, you punk? You’re a fool.” There was murder in his eyes. Just wait, Thomas. Once our mission is done, we’re going to get back at you. Let’s hope you’ll struggle before you die.

If Thomas knew that Olivia was switched out for someone else, he would charge straight back to the Pearson Residence and start a bloodbath. Terrence was an evil man. The only reason Thomas didn’t kill everyone was because of Olivia’s sake. However, if he knew that Terrence would sabotage his own granddaughter for his plans, then Thomas would kill them all without any more hesitation.

“I’m back, Dad,” Norman came in and said quietly.

“Everything done?”

“Yes. I’ve taken her to the place you told me to.”

“Good.” Terrence nodded. “Only the most important members of the family know where that place is. It’s perfectly secret. Not even Declan knows where that place is. Now, there is nothing to worry about. Also, be nice to her. She’s still a part of the family, and she doesn’t have long to live. Let her do whatever she wants.”

“I’m actually worried about Declan. He might sell us out,” said Norman worriedly.

“What do you mean?”

“Haven’t you realized? He’s different now, like he doesn’t really care about the family. I told him to bring his family along, but he came alone. It’s like he’s trying to keep his wife out of this.”

Terrence shook his head. “You’re reading into this too much. Declan has always been that kind of person. He doesn’t really care about the family’s matter if he can. It’s obvious from that fight for the spot as the family head. After all these years, he’s still only interested in business. Now go.”

“Of course.” Norman thereafter left the bedroom.

Once back at the villa, Thomas went into the kitchen to brew medicine for Olivia as usual. He didn’t even have his guard up since Shadow looked so much like Olivia. The reason for her existence was to replace Olivia. She’d spent more than ten years just learning all of Olivia’s behaviors. If she and Olivia stood side by side, it would be near impossible to tell them apart.

Shadow was in the lounge, observing Thomas. Why did Miss Olivia choose to be with him even when it meant having a falling out with the family? Unlike Olivia, she was trained in combat since she was a child, and judging from Thomas’ movements, he was a powerful fighter as he had a special air about him. It felt calm and almost dead, but after looking into detail, it felt like the air itself could turn into a deadly weapon if this man wanted it to.

Shadow had only felt that kind of power from one person before, and that was the patriarch of the Pearson Family. He was incredibly respected among the clan and was the one who taught Terrence all he knew.
