Chapter 96
Claude was accustomed to such attention from women, so he
maintained his distance and answered their questions politely. He
behaved like a gentleman, being warm and friendly, but he was careful
not to encourage their advances.
As Olivia watched him interact with the girls, she recalled Sophie
describing her brother as a savior who brought light to the world. She
couldn't help but think that this description suited him perfectly. Claude
appeared to be a great man and a true savior.
Olivia was in the mood to drink that night, so she indulged herself. She
had a lot to drink, which was unusual for her. She had always been
careful and reserved, adhering to the rules and avoiding
mistakes.
She downed several cocktails from the table. Sitting in a corner, she
went unnoticed by others. However, the alcohol soon took its toll, and
she began to feel sick. After a few glasses of cocktails, her stomach
began to ache, and she felt nauseated. She decided to head to the
bathroom.
Meanwhile, as more girls surrounded Claude, he felt the room
becoming increasingly stifling. He decided to go to the bathroom as
well to wash his face. While he was bending down to wash his hands,
he noticed a clumsy person in the mirror.
Suddenly, that person collided with him with surprising force, nearly
causing him to lose his balance. He caught a whiff of a sweet scent as
they collided.
He was taken aback by the unexpected encounter and tried to steady
himself.
Olivia, still feeling queasy after leaving the stall, was unaware of who
she had bumped into. She was preoccupied with her discomfort and
pushed the person away before rushing to the sink to vomit.
Claude, having been pushed away, finally had a clear view of her face.
He realized that she was Sophie's friend. As she continued to vomit, he
watched her helplessly.
Olivia's head was spinning from vomiting. As if her life was sucked out
of her body he fell from the sink and sat on the floor. She looked lost,
like a helpless orphan who had nowhere to g
After watching her for a while, Claude knelt down in front of her and
asked, âAre you alright?â
Olivia, feeling overwhelmed and numb, blinked at him. Her beautiful
brown eyes resembled glass beads, resembling the eyes of a gentle
doe. A crystalâclear tear trickled down her cheek as she blinked, her
gaze unfocused.
Claude asked again, concerned, âAre you really alright?â
She seemed to have found a lifeline in his voice. She looked at him
with a distant expression and said softly, âI'm okay...â
It was almost ten at night when Tyler arrived home from the hospital. It
was quiet when he arrived at

the living room.
The maid came out as soon as she heard his car. âMr. Tyler, Ms. Olivia
still isn't home. We can't find
her.â
He frowned. âYou can't find her?â His immediate thought was to check
his family home. He added, " Did you call my family home?â
âI did, but they said sheâs not there. I also tried calling her, but she
didn't answer,â the maid replied.
Tyler's face grew even colder as he made a decision. âCall the police.â
He then headed upstairs after giving the order.
The maid didnât expect he would take such serious measures.
However, recalling that Naomi was almost kidnapped once, she dared
not hesitate. She called the police in panic.
Meanwhile, Tyler went to the second bedroom upstairs, forcefully
pushing open the door.
The door hit the wall, and the room was dark and silent. There was no
one inside, only the curtains swaying gently in the breeze.
