I’m Someone Else

Chapter 198

Thomas glanced at Quincy as he raised his hands to massage his temples. He wasn’t in a good state right now. He was truly exhausted. Yesterday, he had used the Blood of the Blazing Sun twice, and he had even taken a risky move by forcibly using a secret technique to regenerate his blood. The fact that he was alive and able to stand up was considered fortunate.

At this moment, all he wanted to do was get a good night’s sleep.

Thomas greeted the three people and bid them farewell as he got up.

“John, we need to make preparations in advance. We need to deploy some elite soldiers to protect Thomas’ family,” Samuel said earnestly.

John nodded in agreement.

Although the news about Thomas murdering Terrence and Norman hadn’t been revealed to the public yet, it was only a matter of time before the other Five Greatest Families would find out the truth with their resources. Once they learned the truth, Thomas’ half-sister Chloe would undoubtedly become the primary target of their revenge. She would become the first person those families retaliate against.

Quincy leaned back on the sofa and sighed deeply while looking up at the ceiling. “I feel sorry for Thomas. He’s an orphan and he only has a girlfriend. After finally ending his eight years of military service, he discovered that his girlfriend betrayed him. Tsk tsk… No wonder he once said that the only motivation keeping him alive now is his half-sister Chloe.”

After he finished speaking, he suddenly sat up as if he had just realized something.

“I’ve figured it out!”

His sudden reaction startled both John and Samuel.

“Dr. Hofstead, what have you figured out?”

“To be frank, I once had someone investigate what Thomas went through during his eight years in the military. Can you guess what I found out?”

John and Samuel exchanged glances. They had heard their grandsons mention some things about Thomas’ military career, but all they knew was that Thomas was formidable, and that was about it. They had no knowledge of his unit’s code, his military specialization, or the specific tasks he had carried out.

“Don’t beat around the bush. Just tell us.”

“I couldn’t find anything at all! Do you know what that means? It means that with all my resources, I couldn’t even get a glimpse of the unit he belonged to! I even received a mysterious warning from the military. It was just a single message with one sentence, ‘You are not qualified to know!'”

“What?” John exclaimed. Even Quincy wasn’t qualified to know? How was that possible? After all, Quincy was a renowned figure in the medical field of Droycore and he had an extensive network. If even he couldn’t find out with his resources… Then, what kind of unit had Thomas served in?

Quincy continued while ignoring their reactions, “If it weren’t for what he said today, that his incompetence led to the death of his closest brother, I would still be clueless about his eight years in the military. I believe that the brother he mentioned about was Chloe’s biological brother.”

There was only silence. An almost suffocating silence settled in. At that moment, they finally realized the significance of Chloe to Thomas.

The three of them took out their phones and gave orders to their subordinates. This time, they used all their resources to ensure Chloe’s safety.

Even if the other great families were unaware that Thomas was the killer, Chloe was still in danger. After all, there were still rumors circulating about Thomas and Olivia.

After everything was arranged, Quincy took off his work uniform. “I won’t accompany the both of you any longer. I’m going to pay a visit to the Saunder Family and meet Taylor.”

He had a plan in mind. He wouldn’t bring up the matter of the Pearson Family with Taylor. Instead, he would discuss his views on the rumors about Olivia.

“All right. We should take our leave as well. Let’s act separately, but remember to stay in touch at all times.”

Thomas returned to the company and stood directly in front of Olivia. Quincy and the others had already spoken up in support of Declan, but he also wanted to hear Olivia’s opinion.

He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t as Molly was still in the office, and she was just an ordinary girl. It would be best not to involve her in this conflict.

Sometimes it was better for ordinary people to know less.

He would wait and ask her when the both of them finished work and went home together. There was no need to rush at this moment. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Quincy and the others personally pleaded for Declan, so it wouldn’t be justifiable if he didn’t ask for Olivia’s opinion.

Everything was up to Olivia to decide.

At this moment, Olivia was still unaware that Declan’s life and death hung in the balance of her decision.

It was already 8.00PM and Molly had left a while ago, but Olivia was still reviewing the documents on her desk.

“You haven’t finished yet?” Thomas walked over to her desk and asked.

“I’m almost done. These two documents need to be completed tonight as they’re required next morning.”

He felt a pang of distress. “There’s no need for you to personally handle everything. Let your subordinates handle it. If necessary, I can hire a couple more secretaries for you.”

“That won’t do.” Olivia raised her head. “You gave me Keyshire Property. For important contracts like these, I can’t help but want to personally review them. I don’t trust anyone else.”

As she spoke, she changed the topic. “By the way, when are you going to take back half of the business? It’s mine, and I won’t allow anyone to interfere with it!”

Thinking about it now, Olivia was still angry about that. That woman who had undergone plastic surgery to look exactly like her was despicable. Not only did that woman disguise herself as Olivia and stay by Thomas’ side, but she also tried to take over her company! This was unbearable. Olivia would take it all back. It was Thomas who had given the company to her, so why should others benefit from it for free?

“Pfft!”

Thomas burst into laughter at the sight of Olivia’s pouting mouth as he was unable to hold back. “Don’t worry. I’ll take it back within the next couple of days.”

“Hmph! That’s more like it. Thomas, can you wait a little longer? Just ten minutes, okay?”

There was no way he would refuse her. Thus, he sat on the sofa and shut his eyes to rest.

“All right. It’s time to get off work! I’m exhausted. I want to take a hot bath and get a good night’s sleep!” Olivia rubbed her reddened eyes as she had been busy the whole day.

Thomas stood up and willingly took Olivia’s handbag. Then, they walked out of the office side by side.

He casually asked while driving, “Olivia, how’s your relationship with Declan? Is it good?”

She was puzzled. Why did he suddenly ask her about Declan? After all, they had only met once.
