I’m Someone Else

Chapter 184

Did this old man just call Thomas a useless special force soldier? If he is useless, then everyone else in this world is also. What do you even know about him, you old man? You know nothing! However, Olivia had no intention of threatening Duban. She knew Thomas’ character so well that once he discovered what the Pearsons had done to her, he would get rid of them. Moreover, she was well aware of all he had done for her and was confident she had a special place in his heart.

Nonetheless, she hoped Duban would release her before things got out of hand. If that were the case, she could talk Thomas out of taking his anger on her family. After all, she was a member of the Pearson Family, and she didn’t want to see the family fall apart. She reasoned that if they didn’t let her go, she wouldn’t stop Thomas from unleashing his rage on them.

In the meantime, the old man was taken aback by her threat but quickly recovered with laughter. Then, his eyes were filled with contempt as he blurted, “Is that supposed to be a threat, girl?” Unbelievably, a young girl like her dares to threaten me. Kill me? What a joke! It’s been years since someone said something like that to me. “You think that useless man can kill me? Dream on.”

After hearing that, Olivia rolled her eyes. “I’m not kidding. Fine, then you’ll know for sure when he shows up.”

“Hah, he doesn’t even know you’re locked up, girl.”

“What do you mean?” She was confused by Duban’s words. If Thomas can’t find me, he’ll ask the Pearsons to turn me over. Why is this old man claiming Thomas is unaware I’m locked up?

“Fine. I’ll explain this to you so you can give up. Right now, a woman who looks just like you is staying with him, and he has no idea that you have been switched out. He’s still driving you around like usual. Oh, and the company he gave you? Half of the business had been transferred to Pearson Group at no cost. Without you, our company would not have been able to grow so successfully. It won’t be long before Keyshire Property is a distant memory, and our Pearson Group takes over as the leader of

Irieson’s real estate industry.” As the family patriarch, he was always in the loop. He didn’t mind telling her about it, though. After all, he believed she deserved it, and even if he couldn’t teach her a lesson, he could still annoy her.

“W-What? How could you do that? How low can you sink?” The revelation caused her brain to explode, and she trembled with rage as she tried to contain her reaction. Suddenly, she felt a blow to the chest, and the sheer intensity of her anger knocked her out.

As soon as Duban noticed Olivia had fainted, he scoffed. Keyshire Property is a profitable company; having it under our control will eventually expand our current business operations. It cannot be denied that this is entirely due to her credit, and while her carelessness has thrown the family into crisis, I’m confident we can get through it. At that, he turned and walked away, leaving her alone and unconscious.

After a while, she eventually awoke, and tears streamed down her cheeks. Family? What is family to them? All they care about is themselves. They got someone to impersonate me and stay with Thomas? How could they? They’re going to pay for this! I can’t believe they would take over Keyshire Property. Thomas gave me this company, which has nothing to do with the Pearsons. What makes them think they’re entitled to half of its business? The more she contemplated it, the more incensed she became. She wished she could kill Norman and Terrence but couldn’t even move. However, she was bound to this bed, with only her thoughts being unrestrained. I have to leave no matter what. First, I have to compose myself; only after that will I be able to think of something. There must be a reason why I am regarded as one of Irieson’s most influential women. At that moment, she conceived a flawless escape strategy. Then, she stared at the ceiling, simulating all kinds of scenarios that could arise from her attempt to flee until late at night.

“Let me go! I need to use the bathroom!” Olivia shouted.

After hearing that, Duban entered the room, untied her, and pointed at the bathroom. “Go.”

However, she shook her head and replied, “No. There’s no hot shower in there. I need to take a shower.” She wasn’t stupid; she knew the bathroom window had been fitted with security bars, preventing her from escaping.

“Fine.” After that, he led her to the second-floor guest room bathroom with a water heater. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Olivia went inside and looked at Duban. “Can you stay away for a bit?”

“Just bathe. I’m not going to peep. I’m old enough to be your grandpa,” he said as he shook his head. Despite my age, I’m not a pervert.

“No. What are you scared of? That I might escape? You can catch me easily, can’t you? Also, it’s not like I can run anywhere. I don’t even know where I am. If you keep standing there, I can’t bathe.” Her tone softened, in contrast to how she was a short time ago.

On the other hand, the old man thought that was odd. She wasn’t talking like that a while ago. What happened? Did she finally think things through? “Fine. I’ll stay away.” Then, he glanced at the open window in the bathroom and closed the door. There are no security bars installed in the windows here. Bet she’s going to jump out of the window once I leave. At that, he sneered. You think you’re smart, eh? He then went downstairs and waited outside the bathroom window. I’d love to see the look on her face when she jumps down and sees me.

Unfortunately, Duban underestimated Olivia.
