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, “Are you alright?”
Olivia, feeling overwhelmed and numb, blinked at him. Her beautiful brown eyes resembled glass beads, resembling the eyes of a gentle doe. A crystal–clear tear trickled down her cheek as she blinked, her gaze unfocused.
Claude asked again, concerned, “Are you really alright?”
She seemed to have found a lifeline in his voice. She looked at him with a distant expression and said softly, “I’m okay…”
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. “Mr. Tyler, Ms. Olivia still isn’t home. We can’t find
her.”
He frowned. “You can’t find her?” His immediate thought was to check his family home. He added, ” Did you call my family home?”
“I did, but they said she’s not there. I also tried calling her, but she didn’t answer,” the maid replied.
Tyler’s face grew even colder as he made a decision. “Call the police.” He then headed upstairs after giving the order.
The maid didn’t 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.
