The next morning, M got up early to pack her bags.


    She said that she didn’t want to protect Nathan, but her actions were quicker than anyone’s.


    Phoebe was still asleep in her room.


    After packing her bags, M went to Zach’s room to say goodbye.


    Zach was afraid the walls had ears, so he didn’t say much. He only told M to take care of herself,


    then handed her a ck card.


    M didn’t ept the money.


    After saying goodbye, M left Zach’s room.


    As she walked out of Hoffis Manor, she ran into Oliver.


    Oliver stopped M in her tracks. He said with a smile, “First time seeing you up so early. Where are


    you heading to with your baggage? Where’s your friend?”


    M’s expression darkened. She looked at Oliver with an unfriendly gaze as her hatred for him grew


    stronger. With stoicposure, she said softly, “Just going out for a bit.”


    “I’ll escort you,” Oliver said.


    “No need,” she replied.


    “Didn’t you tell my parents that you came to stay at Hoffis Manor because of me? Why are you so


    distant and indifferent toward me now?” Oliver persisted.


    M remained silent.


    Oliver sneered, “You have an ulterior motive, don’t you?”


    “Sorry, I’m in a hurry. I don’t have time to chat with you,” M said. She then brushed past him with her


    baggage.


    Oliver grabbed her arm and said softly, “Let’s start over, ex–girlfriend.”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    M’s body jolted when she heard his words. The remark caught her off guard, leaving her stunned and


    speechless. She turned to him with her eyes widened.


    Oliver gazed at M with a smug smile. His eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint. He said. earnestly,


    “I’m serious, Suzanne. Please go out with me.”


    “Let go,” M retorted. She was irritated and didn’t want to respond to his confession. “I still have things


    to do. I have no time for your nonsense.”


    “Marry me.” Oliver’s tone grew even more sincere, with a frighteningly intense gaze.


    M felt a shiver run down her spine, and her hair stood on end.


    At first, she thought Oliver was pretending to be her ex–boyfriend, just to test her to see if she regained


    her memory. But now, he seemed nothing short of insane.


    It was beyondprehension to ask M to marry her uncle. Even without any blood rtion, this


    moral boundary was enough to make her feel sick to her stomach.


    M regretted not waking Phoebe up to ask her for a ride to Sudvi. She yanked her hand away


    forcefully. She was struggling as she snapped, “Oliver, let go of me!”


    “I’m proposing to you,” Oliver said.


    “I refuse,” she asserted without a shred of hesitation. M firmly continued, “I have no interest in you


    whatsoever. Please let go of my hand.”


    Oliver’s expression became somber and sneaky, like he was up to something.


    Suddenly, he thrust his hand into his pocket. He swiftly pulled out a handkerchief and forcefully pressed


    it against M’s mouth.


    M was startled. She attempted to scream for help, but he held her tightly.


    She was overwhelmed by a strange smell in her mouth and nose. Slowly, her consciousness began to


    fade. She wentpletely nk, then she cked out.


    Oliver nervously looked around before carrying the unconscious M into his car. He quickly closed the


    door and drove off.


    Around 8:00 am, Phoebe got up. After washing up, she knocked on M’s door. She was getting M’s


    bags ready to take her to Nathan’s.


    “M, M, are you awake?” Phoebe knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no


    response.


    Phoebe was worried, so she pushed the door open. She found that most of M’s baggage had been


    taken, along with her necessities.


    Phoebe sat down on the bed and smiled reluctantly. She muttered to herself as she picked up


    her phone, “She’s really eager, isn’t she?


    “She didn’t even let me pack her bags and just left without a word. How badly does she really want to


    be by General Morrison’s side?”
