Chapter 1181
There were many other similar scenarios.
These were just some bits and pieces Rosalynn knew about Olivia.
She’s always been cool with the whole climbing up the ladder thing, but she’s not down with how Olivia goes about it.
It’s just not her jam.
So Rosalynn was dead certain, no matter how many months pregnant she was, if Olivia confirmed the kid isn’t Wayne’s, or even her own, she’d off the baby.
“Darling.”
Wayne’s voice came from behind.
Due to the kidnapping scene in the afternoon, he pushed back a super important meeting.
It was only after she returned that she rushed him to catch up on it.
“The meeting’s over?”
Rosalynn put her phone aside and reached out for Wayne..
Wayne walked over, took her hand and sat next to her: “Why haven’t you hit the hay?”
He came back to the bedroom right after the meeting.
When he didn’t find Rosalynn, he came downstairs to look for her.
“I’m not sleepy, just wanted to check on them.” Rosalynn answered.
Wayne knew she was still shook from the afternoon’s incident.
“I talked to Ivy, she digs her school. She doesn’t want to switch schools or anything due to the afternoon’s incident.”
In reality, the school’s security measures have been pretty tight.
The only reason Olivia was loitering outside was because she couldn’t sneak into the school.
“We can’t give up because of one incident.” Rosalynn said.
Wayne let out a sigh, “I’ve been in touch with the school, they can step up their entrance security.”
“Okay.” Rosalynn nodded, then said, “Don’t blame yourself for the afternoon’s events. This whole Olivia issue… whether it’s your misjudgment from a decade ago, or her crazy actions now, we couldn’t have seen it coming.”
Wayne didn’t respond.
At least Ivy wasn’t hurt.
If Olivia’s attack hadn’t been stopped…
Wayne felt a chill down his spine.
“By the way, I’m planning to personally thank the kid who saved Ivy tomorrow.” Wayne quickly said.
“Sure, let’s do it together.”
Liam’s situation was pretty much as the principal described.
Well… strictly speaking, it might be even worse.
These days, the sky seemed to darken earlier. As Liam walked by a convenience store, the TV inside broadcast news about an incident at a school gate. He glanced up, noticing that the face of the first-grade student who was held hostage had been blurred out.

However, as Liam looked at the screen, memories flood back. He remembered seeing her before, the image of her with a knife pressed against her throat, her eyes closed in fear, yet not a single sound escaping her lips.
Liam had encountered this first-grade student in the past, and he found her bothersome. She was always laughing, brimming with boundless energy. He often unintentionally overheard her contagious laughter.
Her voice was sweet too.
Liam had a more gloomy personality, so he didn’t like this sunny disposition.
That didn’t stop him from shooting that stone with his slingshot.
“Liam, you’re back again?” The store owner expresses surprise as he spotted Liam.
Liam averted his gaze and responded coldly, “I have my own place now. I don’t need to stay at the shelter.”
With those words, Liam walked away, disappearing into the alley.
“Oh, this kid is so stubborn!” the store owner muttered, shaking his head.
Inside the store, the store owner’s wife watched TV and shook her head. She remarked, “He’s going to get beaten again, and then they’ll kick him out once more…” “You’re outdated. That family can barely lay a finger on Liam nowadays. It’s nothing like two years ago. This kid is tough,” a middle-aged man passing by interjected, looking at Liam with admiration. “Last time, he picked up a vase and smashed it on his uncle’s head!”
“The family is truly despicable. They took Liam’s parents’ compensation money for their death, and now they want this rundown house too. If they want to live in it, let them, but they even hit Liam and kicked him out of the house!” The shop owner said tearfully, pounding their chest in anger.
