Chapter 71

Olivia was silent.

She had already realized that there was something wrong with her phone. Someone had tampered with it.

At this time, who would still use text messages? There were many ways to communicate, such as WhatsApp and Snapchat. Now, text messages had been reduced to receiving verification codes and notifications.

Olivia had not checked her messages for a long time.

The other party had clearly predicted this and knew that she would not read the message, so they used the message to do the trick. If they used WhatsApp, they would be discovered immediately.

Seeing Olivia’s silence, Amelia seemed to have found her weak spot. Amelia mocked, “Why? You don’t dare? Is it because you are guilty?” At this moment, Amelia was already extremely disgusted with Olivia. Amelia had a mother–daughter relationship with Olivia previously. Although Amelia did not raise Olivia, she was still Olivia’s biological mother.

No matter what, Olivia came out of her womb.

Although Amelia was not close to Olivia, she was still proud of Olivia deep down.

This child did not have a wealthy family or top–notch resources, but she still ended up so outstanding and won an international award.

But now, Amelia only had hatred towards Olivia.

Amelia could not wait to expose Olivia. She stepped forward, grabbed Olivia’s hand, and unlocked it with Olivia’s fingerprint.

The back of Olivia’s hand was covered in blisters. Amelia did not care at all. She pinched Olivia’s hand hard, causing Olivia to tremble in pain. Olivia’s bent and curled up in pain.

Seeing Olivia’s pain, Amelia’s eyes flashed with joy. Amelia put her entire hand on Olivia’s hand and deliberately broke a few blisters.

It was said that mother and daughter were connected by heart. A mother was pained when her child was suffering. However, at this moment, Amelia only wished that Olivia would die from the pain.

13:06 Billionaire & Missing Darling * vouchers After unlocking the phone, Amelia immediately opened the message and quickly found the message that the villain had mentioned.

[I’ll fall into the water later. Hide in Emma’s room immediately. When she comes back, you rape that bitch. She’s enjoyed my wealth for so many years. It’s time to pay her back.]

Amelia read the content aloud.

Amelia could not control the trembling of her body. “It’s really you! What else do you have to deny?” As she spoke, she suddenly stepped forward and slapped Olivia hard.

Olivia lowered her head and checked the blisters on her hands. She was caught off guard and was hit.

Amelia had used a lot of strength. Amelia’s nails were very long, leaving a long scratch on Olivia’s face.

Olivia bled.

But even so, Amelia still felt angry and wanted to step forward and kick Olivia.

However, Olivia had already reacted and retreated a few steps to dodge, Amelia’s eyes widened. “You still dare to dodge?”

Olivia suppressed the anger in her heart and tried her best to calm down, “I didn’t send the message.”

As she spoke, Olivia snatched the phone and looked at the time the message was sent. Olivia explained, “The message was sent at 10:25. I’ve already fallen into the water at this time. How can I send the message?”

“You are still trying to explain?” Amelia was so angry that she stepped forward to hit Olivia.

Every time Amelia’s fist landed on her body, Olivia felt as if a piece of her heart was torn off. Olivia looked calm on the surface, but her heart was already riddled with holes.

Olivia did not dodge. She just lowered her head and looked at Amelia quietly, letting Amelia hit her.

Amelia was a little stunned by Olivia’s calm gaze, and she subconsciously stopped.

At this moment, Samuel said, “Stop quibbling.” Compared to Amelia’s emotional actions, angry, and a little disappointed towards Olivia, Samuel’s tone was that of a complete stranger.

13:06 It was as if the person in front of Samuel was not his biological daughter but an unimportant stranger.

Samuel’s tone was cold. “I’ve already obtained the hotel’s surveillance footage. The time you fainted and were sent back to the guest room was 11:50. At 10:25, you didn’t fall into the water and were still on the boat.” Olivia was stunned.

Impossible. She clearly remembered that when Andrew returned to deliver the lotus seed pod to her, it was 10:10 in the morning. Olivia was checking her phone and replying to her classmates‘ WhatsApp messages, so she knew the time.

The seed pod was delivered at 10:10, followed by her falling into the water. By 10:25, Olivia was unconscious and it was impossible for her to send a text message.

Samuel frowned and said in a cold tone, “If you don’t believe in the surveillance cameras, there are photos here.”

As he spoke, Samuel threw the two photos in front of Olivia.

On the screen was a photo of Olivia and the evildoer. The photos were taken from a specific angle.

They were clearly two strangers, but it looked like they were plotting.

Looking at the photo, Olivia’s heart turned cold.

The other party was well–prepared, and Olivia could not defend herself at all.

At this point, Olivia was unwilling to explain. She looked at Samuel with a cold gaze. “So what if it’s me? Isn’t Emma fine? When she got someone to deal with me previously, didn’t you say that we’re family? It’s fine.” “Heh.” Samuel sneered and looked at Olivia with a mocking gaze. “Who do you think you are to compare yourself to Emma? You are nothing near her!”

Olivia took a deep breath and used all her strength to suppress the pain in her heart. She tried her best to maintain her last rationality.

“Call the police!” Olivia said. “Let the police handle it.”

“No.” This time it was Liam who spoke.

Liam looked up at Olivia and said, “Although Emma is fine, people would talk and speculate that if we call the police. It will damage Emma’s 13:06 reputation.”

“You want to convict me without calling the police?” Olivia looked up. her aura was still shocking.

Olivia’s appearance made Amelia very unhappy.

Olivia had clearly done something wrong. Why did she still look so self–righteous?

“Olivia!” Amelia said. “Do you have any kindness? It’s fine if you don’t apologize for doing such a thing, but you actually refuse to admit it. How did I give birth to such a thing as you? I shouldn’t have given birth to you back then. Even if I did, I would have thrown you into a basin and drowned you!”

Apologize? Olivia sneered. She didn’t do anything, so why should she apologize?

Olivia stood in the middle of the living room and looked around. The aura of her suddenly changed.

“Only someone who wants to frame me would put such a clumsy crime on me. You’ve underestimated me. If I really wanted to mess with Emma, I wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble to find someone to rape her. I would have just injected her with a medicine and made her beg for death. And no one would know a thing about it.”

When she said this, Olivia’s tone was exceptionally calm. But when everyone heard it, they could not help but tremble.

These words sounded unbelievable. What kind of medicine would make people wish they were dead?

This must be a lie!

Everyone thought so, but they could not help but be intimidated by Olivia. They felt uneasy.

“Don’t spout nonsense!” Samuel frowned and used his harsh words to hide the uneasiness in his heart.

“If you did something wrong, you have to be punished.”

“Guards!” Samuel waved his hand.

Suddenly, more than ten burly men nearly 6 feet 3 ran out from all directions of the living room and quickly surrounded Olivia.

“What are you guys going to do?” Olivia tensed her body and put her right hand behind her back in a defensive posture.

“What do you think?” Samuel sneered. “Punish you, of course!” Olivia was incredulous. “You want to use lynching? That’s illegal.” “Heh.” Samuel sneered. “I’m disciplining my own daughter. Who would dare to criticize me? Besides, it’s not like I’m going to kill you. I’m just going to make you suffer.”

“Go!” Samuel gestured.
