She was no longer the previous Olivia, nor did she have the ability to save others. Besides, everyone here was a big shot, and she couldn’t afford to offend them. She just wanted to protect herself.
Ethan saw this scene and coldly laughed, grabbing Ella’s hand. Miss Ella is too naïve. Does a floor cleaner dare to stand up to save you? Now I can make her do anything without resistance!
Floor cleaner, am I right?
Olivia nodded. Yes, you’re right. She lowered her head, the fire burning on her.
Olivia gritted her teeth and her body shook, the mop in her hand fell to the ground making a clattering sound. Her body accidentally fell towards Ethan as she lost her balance.
The moment she leaned on Ethan his bloated body recoiled as if he had touched something unclean. He pushed Olivia and let go of Ella's hand.
Olivia's frail body fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string. Her head was hit hard, causing her to see stars. Her hand was scraped and blood oozed from the wound.
What do you think you are? Ethan kicked Olivia hard while she was lying on the ground, still unsatisfied he kicked her twice more.
Olivia held her arm, struggling to stand up and kept apologizing. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t mean to. I just lost my mind for a moment…
Olivia still kept her head down, her hair dishevelled, and her wandering gaze glanced in the direction where Ella was.
Taking advantage of this gap Ella slipped out of the private room. Mr. Ethan was furious, but it took him a while to react. He immediately kicked Olivia’s calf fiercely, and yelled, you slut! How dare you trick me? Watch me kill you today!
Olivia was suddenly kicked and fell to her knees, the pain in her calf made her forehead break out in sweat. She suddenly regrets it. She had promised not to interfere, but why did she still intervene in the end?
In the end, she was the only one to suffer, several other bosses watched the show.
Cheered.
Mr. Ethan, this woman ruined your good thing today, you can’t let her go easily. How can someone as noble as you let a janitor step on your head? After hearing this, Mr Ethan kicked Olivia a few times fiercely, you slut! You ruined my good thing.
At this moment, a man’s voice came from outside the private room. Olivia, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately shrank her pupils and even forgot to breathe. It was him!
That man!
A figure appeared at the door of the private room. Olivia panicked and lowered her head when she caught a glimpse of his face. She didn’t make a mistake, it was him!
He was the one who didn’t listen to her explanation and heartlessly sent her to a mental hospital, causing her to suffer and become what she is now.
George Roland!
Afraid of being recognized Olivia Smith grabbed her hair and used the messy and withered strands to cover her face. It turned out that as soon as Ella left, she met George Roland who was also here for business. The two families also had dealings with each other, and Ella did not want to leave Olivia, who had saved her, behind, so she asked Roland to come over.
Mr. Ethan was also a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. As soon as he saw George Roland, he immediately changed his face and greeted him eagerly.
What wind blew Mr. Roland here? Why didn’t you tell us in advance so that we can prepare? George Roland looked at him expressionlessly and his assistant moved a chair for him. He calmly sat down and his black-striped suit made him appear even more indifferent.
I heard that you were making things difficult for Miss Ella and humiliating others.
George Roland looked at Mr. Ethan coldly, waiting for him to explain. He didn’t know that such a thing could happen on his own turf. Mr. Ethan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his legs suddenly trembled. How did the ancestors come here?
He forced a smile, Mr. George, I didn’t know that Miss Ella was your person, and I didn’t make things difficult for her. It was their company that came to us to talk about business because they were facing an economic crisis.
Looking at Roland's terrifying eyes, Mr. Ethan's voice became lower and lower. Is that so? Ethan Jones, did you force her to drink and how did you treat this woman on the ground? Roland turned his sharp tongue and pointed at Olivia Smith on the ground.
She’s just a cleaner, does Mr. George need to bother with this?
Olivia regretted this so much, if she knew she would run into George Roland, she wouldn’t have interfered even if she was beaten to death. Originally, she could have just been scolded by Mr. Ethan and it would have been over. But now, if she was recognized she would be done for.
Olivia pinched her waist hard and buried her head lower, trying to control her fear and anxiety. Why did she have to meet Roland again after being tortured in the mental hospital for three years? Not listening to her explanation. Where would she be sent to this time? Another mental hospital? Prison?
No, she couldn’t take it anymore, besides there was that girl… she couldn’t be tortured again.
Roland sneered, why do I need you to tell me what to do? Who do you think you are? If I say one word your Jones family and all the bunch of you behind you will all be done for. The hangers on Mr. Ethan were already trembling with fear. Who hadn’t heard of Roland’s reputation?
They quickly waved their hand, shirking responsibility, and found a few excuses to escape. In the private room only George Roland, Olivia Smith and Ethan Jones were left.
Mr. Ethan's forehead was already covered in sweat. He only wanted to take advantage of Miss Ella today, but he ran into a cleaner and now Mr. Roland’s evil wind had blown over.
Mr Roland, I was wrong, if I had known earlier, even if you beat me to death, I wouldn’t have dared to do it.
Roland's eyes narrowed, get out of here! Ethan nodded and stumbled out, leaving behind the clothes in the private room. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Olivia also wanted to slip away. She limped and held her injured arms, hobbling towards the door.
“You stay”
Stay hereThe familiar voice of the man sounded, and Olivia felt like she was facing a great enemy. Her legs were like leads, unable to move.To her, this voice was the voice of a demon. She used to love him so much, but now she hated and feared him just as much.She slightly hunched her waist, her face covered by hair, unable to see her expression, and turned her back to George Roland.Is there anything else, Mr. George?Miss Ella said you saved her.No, it was just a coincidence, Olivia shook her head in a panic. She just wanted to escape as soon as possible, or it would be over if George Roland recognized her.Turn around and look at me, I can satisfy anything you want, as a way of thanking you for helping Ella. Roland felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, except for being a little hoarse. I said it was just a coincidence, Mr Roland, I’ll leave now. Olivia was anxious to leave, and after speaking she limped away.As she passed by Roland he suddenly reached out and stopped her.
" It's you, you escaped. Olivia Smith" George Roland said, as he stood up from his chair with an angry countenance looking directly into the eyes of Olivia and adjusted the hair that covered her face. " How did you escape? You have spent just three years there, you were meant to remain in the mental hospital until I ordered for your release!" "I…. I…I'm sorry sir" Olivia stammered in fear of George Roland."Sorry!? Really? Do you think you can run away from me? In this city, no matter where you run to, I will find you." George Roland said and then he laughed, a cynical laugh. Olivia Smith was trembling when she remembered her experience in the mental hospital, the traumas, hardships and pains she went through. She thought she was free when she got out of the hospital not knowing she would fall into the hands of George Roland again. Olivia quickly went down on her knees to beg George. " Please…. have mercy on me…I.... I…don't want to go…. to any mental hospital, pity me, George."
While in the hospital, Olivia's wounds were treated but she had a flashback of the events. George was being treated also but was still fueled by anger, he paced the corridor of the hospital, waiting to resume his vengeance mission. A detective named Kelvin got to the hospital after being informed about the incident. He was an experienced investigator and he went to meet George with a look demanding an explanation of what happened. "Are you Mr George Roland?" The detective asked him."Yes, any problem?" George responded. "Mr George, I received information about a chaotic accident, you seem to be at the centre of it. What's going on?" Detective Kelvin asked. "What's your business with that? Who are you to intrude on my privacy and ask me questions?" George told him. "Well, my name is Kelvin, I'm a detective and I was assigned as an investigator to this particular case." He said as he stared at George." "Good! So why should I explain to you? It's of no use, I want to take justice b
Detective Kelvin, who was determined to get to the root of the problem, continued his investigations as he discovered different connections. He was joining a different narrative, it was obvious that the events leading to Olivia's arrest were not as direct as he had portrayed them."What kind of case is this? I must crack this case and get a promotion for it." He said to himself. The hospital now became a battleground for Justice, Olivia was ready to clear her name as she worked together with Detective Kelvin to expose the hidden agendas that were not told. "This is the best time for me to be free and escape from George Roland," Olivia said to herself. As Olivia continued to recover in the hospital, the case was referred to the lawyers and they took up the case. Her innocence gained momentum and justice slowly turned in her favor.During the court hearings, the lawyers presented their reports, the witnesses stepped forward to testify of what they knew about, as deception is unveiled
Detective Kelvin still continued the investigation as ordered by the court, he delved deeper as he collated more information about the incidents. Miss Stella, the manager of the hotel had ensured that the hotel carried on the normal activities without any obstruction. She was part of the witnesses during the court hearings, and she spoke about the incident that happened in the hotel. Mr Ethan, who was the business partner of George Roland, was challenged for assaulting Ella and Olivia at the hotel previously, he was also a witness butspoke in favor of his boss George Roland, so he could maintain a good relationship with him and have mutual benefits afterwards. George Roland, still hardened, decided to carry out his deadly plan; he remained focused on his quest for revenge. "Stella is an ingrate, despite using her hotel for my business meetings she couldn't support me in the courtroom, when all this ends, I will stop using that hotel as my venue and she will stop receiving tips fr
George had given Ethan the duty of killing Ella and framing Olivia Smith for it; he couldn't resist the mouth-watering offer as he proceeded to carry out the task. "Hello, Miss Ella." Ethan on a phone call "Hello, who is this?" Ella responded "It's me Ethan, Mr George Roland's business partner." "Oh, you? How did you get my number and what do you want from me!? After humiliating me at the hotel, do you have theguts to call me? What audacity!." Ella said angrily. "I'm so sorry, I realized my mistakes, I shouldn't have treated you that way, I'm sorry ma," Ethan replied in a cool and calm voice. "Sorry? Keep sorry to yourself, it's of no use, and don't ever call this line again, goodbye." Ella said about hanging up. "Please wait, I want to make it up to you, to show the sincerity of my heart, I want to prove that I'm a changed man who has realized his mistakes and is ready to make amendments," Ethan replied."Really? Do I look like I care? Listen there is nothing between us and do
Ella's death was a shock to Olivia Smith. She was crying and she just held onto the dead body of Ella. She had been nice to Olivia, she was the one who accommodated her while the court adjourned her case with George Roland.Olivia was pained with the feeling of losing a friend and she was also scared that she would be implicated in killing someone. She knew that George Roland would have a hand in the death of Ella but she wasn't sure and she had no evidence. "What is this? I will be arrested for killing Ella, I need to run away before the police get to know ... but if I run away, they will declare me wanted and locate me wherever I go. I'm in a mess already, I just have to accept my fate. Let me call Detective Kelvin and tell him what happened." Olivia said to herself as tears rolled down her cheeks. "He…He…Hello sir." Olivia stammered while on a call with Detective Kelvin."Hello Miss Olivia Smith, what's wrong?" Detective Kelvin asked. "Sir…Ella just came home and…..she….." "And
Ethan wasn't called for investigation so that he wouldn't know that his secret had been exposed and he wouldn't commit another murder before trial in court. Olivia Smith, the defendant was called for interrogation at the defendant's table. "Miss Olivia Smith, you were accused of murdering Mr Roland. The court adjourned the case till further notice, now you are accused of murdering Miss Ella. Why did you kill her?" The judge asked."Your Honor, I know nothing about these murder cases. I just happened to be at the crime scene which is putting me in trouble "Objection Your Honor, Olivia is a killer who wouldn't hesitate to go to any length and cover her secret. It's obvious that she killed George Roland's father and Ella, but she wasn't wise enough to kill Ella when her case was still adjourned by the court." George Roland's lawyer said. "Objection your Honor, we have evidence that my client, Olivia Smith is not a killer." Olivia's lawyer said presenting the evidence against Ethan. S
