Chapter 194
‘Why lie?’
Wes sighed. He knew John was still in love with Madam, but…
“Sir, when was the last time you had a candlelight dinner with Madam?”
“What’s the matter? Are you blaming me for not spending time with her?”
John sneered and snubbed his cigarette. “How did she treat me two years ago? She lied to me and
betrayed me, and she never repented!”
“Sir, there’s been a lot of talk about you and Ms. Ellis these past two years. No woman in the world would
tolerate her best friend betraying her with her husband.”
Seeing that John was drunk, Wes ventured to say, “What’s more, you weren’t with Madam two years ago
when she suffered a miscarriage. Sir, did it ever occur to you. that this was all a misunderstanding?”
John was silent. He did not know what was wrong with him.
He hated her so much, but he was always trying to defend her. Or he would not be checking her
medicines.

Just then, his phone rang.
“Sir, Madam had gone to Willow City with Mr. Quinton. Do you want to follow them?”
John’s eyes were dark, and the veins of his hand were bulging as he held his glass.” How many people
are there?”
“Just the two of them.”
Bang!
John kicked the coffee table so hard that all the bottles and cans on it fell to the floor.
After hanging up, he got up and glared coldly at Wes. “Ha, you’re wrong. She and I have never had a
misunderstanding!”
Three hours later, they were in Willow City’s Clear Springs.
It was said to be the last area where Ben was seen.
However, Clear Springs was not that big. They checked all the surveillance cameras, but there was no
sign of Ben
Olivia’s heart clenched She did not have that much time.
It was cold, and the wind made Olivia shiver.
Not wanting her to catch a cold, Zac advised, “Wait in the car. I’ll let you know as soon as I find anything.”
“No, I’ll look for it with you. Clear Springs is too big. You and the surveillance cameras won’t be enough.”
If he wanted to hide, he would avoid the surveillance cameras.
Olivia took a few steps forward, peered into the back alley, and saw two people kicking a man on the
ground.
“Stop it. I won’t do it again. Please leave me alone. Don’t take me to the police.”
‘The man’s voice…”
Although Ben only worked as a driver for the Larson family for a short time, Olivia paid more attention to
him because he pursued Dorothy before.
The man’s voice was similar to Ben’s, and it naturally caught her attention.
After thinking twice about it, Olivia spoke.
“Stop it! Do you want to kill him?”

stole something from the store. Are you going to pay for him?”
“How much is it? I’ll pay.”
“Twenty thousand dollars! Not only did he steal food but also my gold watch!”
Olivia frowned and glanced at the man on the floor.
He was in rags, unkempt, and bleeding so much from the beating that she could not see his face.
Suddenly, a voice overhead rang. “Wilbur, take these two to the police station!”
“Yes!”
The two men quickly backed down and ran away.
Zac stood behind her and whispered, “Is this Ben?”
Wilbur scooped the man up from the ground. Olivia took a closer look and was still unable to tell. She
pressed her lips together and called, “Ben?”
The man’s expression changed as he wanted to escape immediately, but Wilbur caught him.
“Liv, let’s go back to the hotel. It’s too cold outside.”
This time, Olivia did not say no. Her pale lips said, “Okay.”
She trembled at the thought of this man as a key witness.
