Chapter 96

Claude was accustomed to such attention from women, so hemaintained his distance and answered their questions politely. Hebehaved like a gentleman, being warm and friendly, but he was carefulnot to encourage their advances.

As Olivia watched him interact with the girls, she recalled Sophiedescribing her brother as a savior who brought light to the world. Shecouldn't help but think that this description suited him perfectly. Claudeappeared to be a great man and a true savior.

Olivia was in the mood to drink that night, so she indulged herself. Shehad a lot to drink, which was unusual for her. She had always beencareful and reserved, adhering to the rules and avoiding

mistakes.

She downed several cocktails from the table. Sitting in a corner, shewent unnoticed by others. However, the alcohol soon took its toll, andshe began to feel sick. After a few glasses of cocktails, her stomachbegan to ache, and she felt nauseated. She decided to head to thebathroom.

Meanwhile, as more girls surrounded Claude, he felt the roombecoming increasingly stifling. He decided to go to the bathroom aswell 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, nearlycausing him to lose his balance. He caught a whiff of a sweet scent asthey collided.

He was taken aback by the unexpected encounter and tried to steadyhimself.

Olivia, still feeling queasy after leaving the stall, was unaware of whoshe had bumped into. She was preoccupied with her discomfort andpushed 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, hewatched her helplessly.

Olivia's head was spinning from vomiting. As if her life was sucked outof 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 andasked, “Are you alright?”

Olivia, feeling overwhelmed and numb, blinked at him. Her beautifulbrown eyes resembled glass beads, resembling the eyes of a gentledoe. A crystal—clear tear trickled down her cheek as she blinked, hergaze unfocused.

Claude asked again, concerned, “Are you really alright?”

She seemed to have found a lifeline in his voice. She looked at himwith a distant expression and said softly, “I'm okay...”

It was almost ten at night when Tyler arrived home from the hospital. Itwas quiet when he arrived at

the living room.

The maid came out as soon as she heard his car. “Mr. Tyler, Ms. Oliviastill isn't home. We can't replace

her.”

He frowned. “You can't replace her?” His immediate thought was to checkhis 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 shedidn'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 darednot hesitate. She called the police in panic.

Meanwhile, Tyler went to the second bedroom upstairs, forcefullypushing open the door.

The door hit the wall, and the room was dark and silent. There was noone inside, only the curtains swaying gently in the breeze.
