Chapter 254
The officer, Marco, was here to get some sandwiches, but unfortunately, the Taylor family’s sandwich shop was closed these few days.
He was rather upset. He was out of sandwiches back home and could not eat the Taylor family’s sandwiches for a while.
He was down.
Hearing Olivia’s cry, the first thought that crossed Marco’s mind was that Olivia must still have some sandwiches.
Thank god!
After that, he realized that Olivia was calling him for help!
He was so ashamed and thought he was a lousy police officer. How could his mind be filled with food: This was not good.
Hence, the ashamed Officer Wood rushed over in high spirits.
“What’s going on?” he asked Olivia.
Olivia stretched out and pointed. “Bettany’s parents have knocked her out and wanted to sell her.”
Oh my god! Marco was shocked.
This was a big case. Even the biological parents could not sell their children.
He quickly made a call to report to his superior.
Tucker hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. “Misunderstanding! It’s just a misunderstanding. Officer. please listen to me. We’re Bettany’s parents. Why would we sell our daughter?”
Marco was swayed and looked toward Olivia.
Olivia pointed to the small room. “Look, Bettany has already fainted. We can get the doctor to check on her later to see if she has had drunk some knockout liquid?”
Marco walked towards the small room and saw Bettany lying on the ground, unconscious.
He shook her hard several times, but Bettany did not wake up.
Marco’s expression darkened as he realized that something was wrong.
Outside the room, Tucker stared at Olivia with a dark gaze. His tone was ruthless. “Mind your own business. We’re Bettany’s parents. When Bettany wakes up later, she’ll be on our side.”
“Yeah.” Olivia nodded. “I know.”
“You know?” Tucker was shocked. “If so, why did you still meddle in our business and call the police?” Olivia took out her phone and found a recording. She played it to Tucker. “So, I recorded it just in case. Even if Bettany is on your side, Talia has already admitted to having drugged her. This is the evidence.” “You recorded it!” Tucker’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets as if he wanted to kill someone.
“I did.” Olivia nodded. “Otherwise, why would I talk nonsense to you for so long? I could have just left and called the police. I was trying to get evidence.”
Olivia did not like to waste time doing meaningless things. Whatever she said and did had its meaning. Moreover, the prerequisite for her saving people was to protect herself first.
They had an old saying that relatives were favored over outsiders.
Bettany’s relationship with her parents must be closer than with her.
What if Bettany sided with her parents and turned against her?
However, if she left without doing anything and watched a young girl get hurt, Olivia could not bear to see that.

Leaving her in the lurch had broken her moral bottom line.
Therefore, she got the evidence in advance before calling the police. This way, nothing would go wrong.
Tucker was furious.
He did not expect to meet such a meticulous girl in such a small town.
What a genius she was!
Marco took all of them away, and Bettany was sent to the hospital.
Olivia went to the police station to make a statement.
Marco asked her, “How did you find out Bettany Fulham had fainted?”
Olivia said, “I saw three shadows at the door. One of them seemed to be sitting on the ground. There was
a painting on the wall in the aisle. There was a small piece of broken porcelain at the door.”
After hearing this, Marco and his colleagues looked at each other in surprise.
They could not help but admire her observation. She could have seen all those details.
Marco was extremely curious. “What made you think Tucker Fulham and Talia Fulham have drugged her but not some other bad person?”
Olivia explained, “It’s because of Talia’s behavior. The daughter was in trouble, but as a mother, Talia was only panicking. There was no worry or fear on her face. This didn’t make sense at all. Recalling the previous news, everyone said Tucker and Talia wanted to marry their daughter Bettany to a paralyzed guy for Tucker’s younger daughter, so I guessed Tucker and Talia had drugged her.”
Marco applauded. “Oh my god, that’s amazing.”
She could even become a detective.
He couldn’t help but ask something irrelevant. “Do you usually like to read detective novels?”
Marco thought Olivia’s guess should be the fact, but they had a problem.
After all, they were her parents by blood.
So, he reminded her kindly, “You’ve observed very carefully, but we still have to wait for Bettany’s confession later. After all, they’re Bettany’s parents. And this will probably end up with nothing definite.” Leaving things unsettled was the best outcome. But they were worried that Tucker and Talia would twist the facts and accuse Olivia of calling the police to vent her anger, slander them, and ruin their reputation. “I almost forgot about it.” Olivia took out her phone and clicked on a recording. “There’s a recording here.”
Olivia answered, “I was afraid they would make a false countercharge, so I recorded it as evidence.”
The police let them go home and settle it on their own.
