Chapter 584: Chapter 563: So that’s why you hid in the room and pretended to sleep?

"Have you finished watching the video?"

Julie Harrison’s face blanched instantly, and the next moment, as if stimulated, she wriggled out of his arms, "Oliver, you saw it all!"

"Mm-hmm!"

This time, Oliver Thompson did not evade, but simply nodded, then sincerely responded, "Yes, I’ve seen everything, Rosella. So...."

"So, can you accept what happened to me...?"

What her trailing words implied were clear, but Julie couldn’t muster the strength to say it. Staring at him silently, she took a deep breath after a moment and asked, "Is it that you can’t bear to see me embarrassed, that’s why you hid in the room pretending to sleep?"

She knew all men struggle with this—seeing their wives disrobe for another man, let alone Oliver. But when confirming the fact, she couldn’t help but feel heartache. This combined sorrow and pain was like plummeting into the depths of despair.

"Oliver, are you rejecting me?"

As she spoke, her tears slipped silently down her face like beads on a broken string. Seeing her crying and misunderstanding him, Oliver felt a sudden urge to laugh. This time, instead of hurrying to dry her tears, he slowly propped himself up on the bed, leaned against the headboard, adjusted his position, and pulled the woman standing nearby onto the bed.

"Just because I haven’t said anything, you assume I’m rejecting you?" Oliver lowered his gaze to look at her more closely. His warm fingers gently brushed the corner of her eye. "What should I say or do, for you to believe I’m not?"

He lowered his head and his warm lips grazed her tear-drenched trembling eyelashes, "It’s said that the body is more honest than words. So, why don’t we stop talking? I’ll prove with my body, that I don’t reject you. In fact, I love you very much."

While saying this, his hand tightly held hers, then instinctively moved downwards. Along with his smug smirk, Julie, even though a bit slow, realized what Oliver meant by ’proof’.

"Stop!"

Julie, panicking, wrested her hand from his firm grip, "I know you’re not rejecting me, and I don’t need your proof. Your body can’t handle this now, stop messing around!"

"How can that be?" The man acted as if he was teasing her on purpose, "If I don’t prove it now, then whenever you’re upset, you’ll falsely accuse me of rejecting you. How can this work?"

"A thorn in one’s heart should be plucked out when found. Otherwise, the longer it stays, the deeper it grows into the flesh!"

"That’s not it, Oliver!"

Fearing that he would actually do something irrational, Julie immediately halted his movements. In her panic, she turned over to straddle him and forcefully immobilized him. "Let me explain. That video... it only captured my most embarrassing moments. I didn’t let him take advantage! "

Feeling the man under her freeze, she misinterpreted his deepening gaze as disbelief. She hurriedly added, "I’m telling the truth, I did not deceive you, he tore my clothes, but I didn’t allow him to touch me. I had decided that if he dared to do another thing, I would... I would bite my tongue and commit suicide. Let him ****, even if he doesn’t spare a corpse. If word got out, he would be called a monster, not you losing face!"

Bite her tongue and commit suicide?

Losing face?

Oliver Thompson felt his mind explode. His body became rigid. He, a grown man, was genuinely scared!

He always thought that only extreme women like Ivy Aretha were capable of self-harm. Little did he know that his own seemingly weak, generous and graceful wife was capable of the same.

"Believe me, I would never disgrace you or let you feel humiliated. At that time, I thought, if he dared to make a move, I’d die right in front of him. I guarantee nobody would see Oliver Thompson’s wife raped by a wanted criminal. However..."

At this point, Julie’s voice was filled with resignation. Then, she choked on the next words, "However... I never thought that Roy and Bianca girl would enter at that moment. Later, I had no choice. I could die, but I couldn’t stand to watch the two children die in front of me. I’m sorry, Oliver... in the end, I had no choice. He was trying to strangle Roy..."

At this point, Julie finally gave in to her emotions and laid down on Oliver’s flat chest, sobbing unabashedly. The terror, long-repressed in her body, was finally released. She collapsed and could no longer speak. Only her sobbing echoed throughout the room...

Feeling her cry relentlessly, Oliver realized that anything he said would be ineffectual. So, he didn’t say anything. He held her tightly in one arm, while the other soothingly stroked her back, again and again...

After a long silence, finally, the woman’s sobbing ceased. Only the tear-soaked shirt on her chest reminded him of her evident sadness. Only then did he reach out to tousle her hair gently, whispering softly, "Rosella, don’t be silly in the future. If you die, then everything is lost. As long as you’re alive, I can accept anything. At most, I’ll slaughter those scoundrels and grind them to dust!"

In this world, everything is trivial compared to life and death.

"Of course, I won’t let anything like this happen again. This time, I miscalculated a little. I promise there wouldn’t be a next time." As he said this, Oliver Thompson heaved a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, our Roy is smart. He not only came up with the idea to locate himself with the locator but also found a way to buy time. That’s how we managed to arrive in time. Otherwise, the consequences would’ve been unthinkable."

"Roy?"

Up until now, Julie had thought that Roy Thompson had stumbled upon the place by accident. She didn’t realize he had intentionally come to save her. Upon hearing this, she was utterly astounded.

Such a dangerous situation, how could a child handle it?

There was no mishap this time due to sheer luck. What about next time?

"Did you teach Roy how to tail someone without being noticed? Did you put a tracking device on him?"

Roy was still so young. How could he tail someone without being noticed if he hadn’t been taught? The mere thought of this possibility shook Julie. "Oliver, how could you teach him such dangerous things? He’s just a kid. What if you guys were a step too late? You could have lost your wife, your children! And even endanger Michael’s daughter?!"
