Olivia thought. Few people are aware of my circumstances, and even fewer know about my past. Gina and Donald are not exactly the brightest; they certainly acted on someone else’s advice beforeing to the city to look for her.

They even fabricated a DNA test report. Who would believe it if someone said no one orchestrated thisb? /b

Donald flinched–he hadn’t expected the question. Still, he tried to bluff. He said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. me yourself–you torched the vige when you were a kid. We came to make you pay.

He crawled forward with a sinister grin, clutching the bars. He added, “You slipped away, but this isn’t finished. Life’s long; you can’t be sure I’ll die here. Once I’m free, I’ll kill you.”

Such a scene would have sent most people reeling, but Olivia–hardened by a lifetime of wing her way through every danger–never even flinched.

She gently touched the cold de; smiling eyes and subtly upturned lips conveyed yful amusement. Though the face appeared harmless, it nheless sent an involuntary shiver through the heart.

With hesitation, Olivia thrust the de directly into Donald’s left wrist. Instantly, blood gushed forth.

Donald’s hand, which was already in severe pain, hurt even more. He screamed.

Olivia demanded, “Speak. Who is it?” She moved closer to Donald, her cold, gloomy eyes fixed on him.

Donald did not dare to meet her gaze and timidly lowered his head. He said, “It’s my daughter, Nydia.”

Olivia didn’t expect Donald to have a daughter. She asked, “Who is your daughter?”

Donald thought, ‘I must sever ties with Nydia to protect her.‘ So he said, “After she found out what her mother and I had done, she ran away from home. I haven’t seen her in years. fn6434 This content belongs to fι?dnοvel/fn6434

“Later, she suddenly sent a message, telling us toe and abduct you. It just so happened that someone needed a surrogate, and they wanted someone good–looking.

“Nydia said you were pretty, so we agreed. We forged the paperwork, handed you over, and collected our cut. After that, Nydia vanished again–no calls, no letters, nothing.”

Olivia pondered, ‘The information does not mention that Donald and Gina have a daughter. It appears that his daughter is the key to the matter.’

Olivia drew the short de without a change in expression. She said, “Very well, I’ll consider that you passed this question. Now tell me, where exactly did you abduct me from?”

She had always believed that she was abducted from Riverdale. Only recently did she discover that, before arriving in Riverdale, she seemed to have visited other ces. These memories were scattered and fragmented, and she was unable to piece them together.

However, she was certain that her home was definitely not in Riverdale.

Olivia pinched Donald’s bleeding wrist, dislocating it effortlessly. The corner of her mouth lifted in a faint, almost imperceptible smile, every movement marked by a bloodthirsty cruelty. She said, ‘Do not lie to me. I can tell

Donald truly did not expect her to be this clever. He thought, ‘By the time we arrived in Riverdale, every child had been administered drugs, how could she possibly still have memories?

Donald did not dare to speak and could only feign ignorance. He said, ‘I don’t know?

Olivia carelessly tossed aside the dagger in her hand and seized him by the throat. She said, “You won’t tell the truth? Good. I won’t kill you, Instead, I’ll hang you up and let everyone spit on and curse you

“I won’t let you die. I’ll hand you over to those victims. I’m quite curious to see what they will do to youb? /b

Upon hearing this, Donald shuddered. He knew she would do something like that. He thoughtb, /bb‘/bIf she hands me to those people, I will suffer a fate worse than death‘

He said, “You can’t. The Summers family wille after you.”

Olivia said, “Why not? I like to do as I please. Alternatively, if I bring your son here, you may be more inclined to speak the truth.”

Upon hearing this, Donald finally panicked. He said, “Don’t. I’ll say.” He thought, ‘Bobby is my only flesh and blood–nothing must happen to him!’

Olivia dragged the chair over and sat upright. She demanded, “Start from the beginning.”

Donald said, “You really weren’t abducted from Riverdale. It was Kingtonelle.”

Olivia lifted her gaze and thought, ‘As expected‘

Donald continued, “You weren’t abducted by us; you were handed over. We’d snatched about a dozen kids near the Riverdale–Kingtonelle border and couldn’t find buyers.

“Just as we were leaving, a man from Kingtonelle carried you in–fast asleep. He said you were ia /ifoster child they no longer wanted and paid us to move you through several towns so no one could trace you.”

Olivia asked, “Why?”

Donald said, “I’m not entirely sure either; he didn’t say. I suppose it’s to prevent others from finding out that they abandoned you. Maybe it’s just an excuse because they don’t want you to look for them.”

Olivia snapped, “Cut the crap. What happenedter?”

Donald continued, “Later, when we moved from Riverdale to inville, then on to Hirica, it was nearly October. You cried the whole way, begging for home and your brother. Nothing calmed you, so we finally drugged you.

“We kept trying to sell you, but every buyer backed off. The moment anyone came close, you screamed, and that red birthmark behind your car red like a warning light. They called you cursed.

“In the end, we reached Magnolia Town, invented some lucky omen, and sold you to the Lewis family bas /bba /bchild bride. A yearter, you burned their house down.

“Strange–an ordinary kitchen fire shouldn’t have spread so fast; it nearly took the whole vige. In the chaos, every child we’d taken vanished. After that night, we thought you’d died in the mes.”

Olivia frowned. In her few remaining memories, she recalled being deeply cherished by her family; she wondered how she could have been handed to Donald.
