Chapter 1277
Olivia didn't take it.
i'm a doctor. Do you think I'd recklessly swallow pills that someone gave me? I wanted to leave,
anyway.
if you take me out of here, I won't struggle; I'll only feel grateful to you. It doesn't matter much whether I
take the pill or not."
Ike's expression darkened. "That's not a decision for you to make."
With that, he tried to force the pill into Olivia's mouth. "I won't have mercy on you just because you're a
woman.
’Dr. Ophelia, if I were you, I'd behave and take the pill. At least I don't have to feel the pain."
He pinned Olivia down, cruelly strangling her. Of course, Olivia struggled with all her might.
"Ike, are you there?" Alan's voice rang out at the door.
Ike covered Olivia's mouth, warning her not to make any noise.
"Yes. What's the matter?"
Olivia had brought weapons with her, but she wouldn't use them unless she was forced to.
So, she could only pretend to be a weak woman. If not, if she was found out, she wouldn't be able to

By the looks of it, Alan wasn't aware of Ike's plan. Ike had intended to quietly kill Olivia.
Of course, Olivia wouldn't let go of this chance. She bit Ike's finger right away.
Ike was a firm man, so even when Olivia bit him so hard that his finger bled, he remained unaffected.
"I'm feeling a little tired today, so I'll be resting for a while. Go and keep watch for me. There are so
many important figures here; we can't afford to make any mistakes."
'I just wanted to ask you... Never mind. Rest well, then."
Seeing that Alan was about to leave, Olivia grew anxious. She kicked over the coffee table nearby,
which also had some fruits on it.
The fruits on the platter scattered and rolled across the floor. The mugs on the table were shattered as
well.
Alan, who had already taken a few steps away, suddenly turned around." Ike, are you okay? What
happened?"
Ike glared viciously at Olivia. He closed his fingers tightly around her throat, intending to strangle her to
death right then and there.
By the looks of it, Ike had never intended to let her leave this place alive.
The pill would kill her quietly, so even if Wayne wanted to hold someone responsible, he would come
up with other excuses.
Then, no one would suspect him.
Now that Alan was beginning to suspect something, he decisively changed his plans.
He only wanted Olivia to die!
As expected, he was cruel and heartless.
"I'm fine. I'm going to sleep now so you can leave."
Because he was fighting Olivia, his voice sounded rougher than usual.
Alan kicked open the door. He wasn't a fool, either. The fact that Ike had left his post without
permission was already suspicious enough.
Alan never thought that after opening the door, he would see Ike trying to strangle Olivia to death.
He was shocked.
"Ike, what are you doing? Let go!"
Olivia grabbed the chance to run toward Alan. "Chief, help! Your brother went crazy, and he tried to kill
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmme."
When Alan saw the marks on her neck, he immediately stepped in front of her, shielding her.
"Ike, what exactly did Dr. Ophelia do? Why are you so intent on killing her?"
"Her existence itself is a mistake. Because of her, Mr. Maxwell can't even eat his meals properly."
"And so what? It's Mr. Maxwell's fault, so why would you blame it on a woman? What did she do?"
Alan supported Olivia, who was staggering.
"If you kill her, what will happen to her husband and four children? They're all waiting for her to go
home."
"She may be kind, but we don't know where she came from. I've been investigating her recently. In the
past five years, she has rarely been sighted anywhere.
"A year and a half ago, she had even gone missing. So, why did she suddenly appear by Mr. Maxwell's
side?
"Also, it doesn't matter whether her identity is suspicious or not.
"She had such a huge influence on Mr. Maxwell that she would become his weakness someday. Step
aside. I will personally get rid of her."
