"Heh!" Sophia snorted and looked at Olivia with a cruel smile on her face. "You filthy w***e! I never thought you could stoop so low. How could Grandpa possibly want to see you? Don't forget, you've been kicked out by the Harrison family. Now you're just a stray dog. You let Yonderville know that our family has a slut like you who sleeps around. You're a complete disgrace!"
"Sophia, I've already explained before. It was all a misunderstanding. I never intended to tarnish the Harrison family's name. I can explain to Grandpa." Olivia felt like a tiny boat in a stormy sea, ready to capsize at any moment, but her self-esteem wouldn't allow her to slap herself.
And still, Olivia firmly believed that her grandfather, who used to love her dearly, wasn't really trying to drive her away.
As long as she could see him, he would surely help her. She needed to save Jonathan and Ruby, and she could only turn to the Harrison family for help.
At that moment, a maid summoned by Sophia appeared and doused Olivia with a bucket of dirty water.
Olivia was instantly soaked, and the dirty water stung her wounds, causing intense pain.
"Why?! Why are you doing this?" Olivia clutched her wound, trembling.
Sophia stepped back in disgust. "Olivia, I won't let a w***e like you see Grandpa. The Harrison family won't keep a stray dog like you. You deserve it. Now, get lost!"
Olivia's face turned pale. She couldn't understand why Sophia had to treat her this way.
Without the help of the Harrison family, what would happen to Jonathan and Ruby?
She felt her head getting heavier, and she felt like she could pass out at any moment.
"Jonathan, I'm so tired. Where are you? I can't hold back anymore. Ruby, I'm so sorry. I couldn't protect you. It's Mommy's fault," Olivia mumbled.
Hearing those names, Sophia slapped Olivia across the face. "How dare you mention that scumbag and that little bastard? Get lost, b***h!"
"Stop!" At that moment, a jeep arrived at the Harrison Villa's gate. Jonathan had seen everything Sophia did to Olivia through the window.
He rushed out of the car, filled with rage. How could anyone insult his woman?
Sophia prepared to slap Olivia again.
But before she could, Jonathan's strong grip seized her wrist.
Sophia's arm rested in mid-air. A hand, as strong as steel, grasped her wrist tightly.
It hurt intensely!
"How dare you hurt her? Not just you, but the entire Harrison family must apologize to her!" Jonathan roared and slapped Sophia across the face.
"Who are you? How dare you hit me?" Sophia clutched her face and looked up at Jonathan. She was startled by the sight of Jonathan's blood-red eyes.
It was so terrifying!
Jonathan's gaze was like that of Satan. The aura he emitted could swallow her whole.
Sophia was too frightened to speak. She felt a chill down her spine.
Jonathan tossed Sophia aside and rushed to support Olivia. "Olivia, are you okay?"
Olivia was incredibly weak. Her face was as pale as paper, but she managed a faint smile and whispered, "Jonathan, I'm fine."
Jonathan's eyes were filled with anger and regret. If he had come back sooner, none of this would have happened.
"This damn Harrison family!" Jonathan roared, glaring at Sophia.
But before he could move, Olivia grabbed his hand. "It's okay. They just misunderstand me. I don't want to fall out with the Harrison family. I want to go back and rest. I miss Ruby. Take me home."
Olivia didn't know Jonathan's true identity. She still saw the Harrison family as her last hope. She didn't want to offend them.
"Alright, I'll take you home." Jonathan lifted Olivia in his arms and turned to leave. Her health was his top priority now.
"Stop right there! Who are you? How dare you hit me? Guards, cripple him!" Sophia, filled with hatred, pointed at Jonathan's retreating figure and ordered the bodyguards to stop him.
Jonathan turned and shot them a glance.
The bodyguards froze in place as if a knife were at their throats.
"Don't you dare touch me!" Jonathan's brief statement made them all tremble, stumble backward, and fall to the ground.
"Get lost!" Jonathan commanded coldly without a backward glance, and the bodyguards scrambled away in fear.
In Jonathan's arms, Olivia looked up to see his face.
She was experiencing a warmth that she had not felt in the past five years. Her man came back and, time and time again, rescued her from the most dangerous situations, just like a knight protecting a princess.
She closed her eyes and nestled against Jonathan's chest.
The bodyguards stood motionless and watched as Jonathan got in his jeep and left.
It wasn't until the jeep was out of sight that Sophia rushed out and yelled at the bodyguards. Her face was twisted with rage. "Useless, you're all useless! Why didn't you stop him?"
The bodyguards, pale with fear, didn't respond. Their legs were still shaking. A foul, acrid smell of urine had already begun to spread from the crotch of their trousers. Jonathan's terrifying gaze would haunt them forever.
Sophia glared hatefully and shouted, "Filthy w***e, just you wait! The Harrison family will make you and that scumbag pay!"
As she cursed, she suddenly remembered that she had seen that man somewhere before, but she just couldn't recall anything.

A few minutes later, Jonathan brought Olivia back to their villa. He carried her to her room, tucked her in, and called in a medical team.
Fortunately, the surgery was a success, and Olivia was out of danger after a simple wound cleaning. She was already asleep.
Jonathan sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing Olivia curl up like a wounded bird, he couldn't help but reflect on the past five years. He owed Olivia so much.
His eyes were red and filled with self-blame. 'What has she experienced over these years? She even curls up in bed, seeking safety.'
"Olivia, I'm back. No one will bully you and Ruby again. I'll always protect you." Jonathan gently touched Olivia's cheek, then turned and left the room.
As he stepped out, a member of the Thunderbolt Squad approached and asked, "General, Michael has been confined. What should we do now?"
"Make him wish he were dead! Let him feel what hell is like!" Jonathan ordered with a cold snort as he followed the soldier to the basement of the villa, where Michael was being held.
