Chapter 326
After Talia was taken away, Olivia sat on the sofa and looked at the Fulham couple whose faces were pale. “Have I given you some kind of wrong impression? You think the Dillon family is not to be trifled with, and ver 1. Olivia Taylor, is to be trifled with?
“If I had given you such an illusion, then I’ll tell you the truth now.” Olivia paused, playing with an orange with her fingertips. “Getting on my bad side is even worse for you than offending the Dillon family!”
As she spoke, she flicked her fingertips and threw the orange to the ground.
On cue, Elena stepped forward. She took out a fruit knife and cut the orange in half, even making an appropriate sound effect with her mouth. “Clatter.”
Slightly weirded out by Elena’s cartoonish antic, Olivia held her forehead.
Then she raised her hand and gestured at Elena. “Go to the back and wait.”
Elena’s head drooped. “Oh.”
“Oh, right.” Olivia thought of something and turned to look at Tucker. “The local police have already stepped in to investigate the fire in the Fulham family house. If it turns out to be related to you, you don’t have to be afraid of the Dillon family anymore. You can straightaway go hide in the local prison. It’s very
safe
Upon hearing this. Tucker’s expression turned cold. His face turned greenish white. “I know that you, the Smith family, are powerful. I also know that you’re the fiancée of the richest man, from the Sullivan family. Ms. Taylor, being so rich and powerful, why are you making things difficult for us, a small family?”
May wiped the tears on her face and turned to Kate with a bitter smile. “Kate, I’ve implicated you today. I originally wanted to make use of your relation with Ms. Taylor to meet her and bring the child back. I didn’t expect Ms. Taylor to have such a bad temper. Not only did she not let Bettany go, her mother’s leg and is putting Tucker into prison.
she even broke
“We just want to bring Bettany back. I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. Clearly, it’s a case of the one in power oppressing people. She’s rich and powerful, and our small family can do nothing but be bullied. There’s really no justice.”
This ability to distort the truth was very impressive.
The way Kate looked at Olivia became more and more complicated.
“Olivia, you…” Kate wanted to ask Olivia how she became like this, but she did not know how to start. She just let out a long sigh.
Elena, standing behind Olivia, was so angry that her face turned pale. She wished she could go up and beat May up.
She wanted to explain to Kate, but Olivia waved her hand and stopped her. “No need to explain. Olivia’s tone was indifferent. “No one with a brain would believe such a ridiculous and irrational distortion. Kate is a teacher at Ember University, a high–level intellectual, she will not be taken in.” Then, she looked at Kate and asked, “Teacher, was my analysis correct?”
Kate choked…
It was as though if she believed Tucker and May’s words, then she would be an idiot who could not differentiate right from wrong!
Olivia leaned against the sofa with a calm expression. Her tone was evenly paced. “Kate, I remember that you taught logic, right? Just nice, I can ask you for guidance. Tell me, what contradictory things did these
two say?
“Here’s some hints.” Olivia casually extended a finger. “Firstly, did I imprison Bettany and not let her go?” Kate thought for a moment and shook her head. “No, it was Bettany’s own decision to not leave.”

Olivia extended a second finger. “So why did Mrs. Fulham get kicked?”
Kate replied, “She attacked you.”
“No!” May panicked. ‘She clearly wanted to kneel down to you.”
Olivia asked, “How did you know that she was going to kneel down to me? Why would she kneel down to me?”
May felt very panicked. “It was of course to beg you to let Bettany go.”
“Alright.” Olivia retracted a finger. “Now, let’s return to the first question. Kate, please tell her, have I imprisoned Bettany?”
Kate was very cooperative. “No, Olivia didn’t imprison Bettany.”
“See.” Olivia’s tone was light and a little teasing. “Since I haven’t imprisoned her, who am I to let her go?” “Kate” Olivia now had three fingers extended. Thirdly, she talked about throwing Tucker into prison. Can I be so powerful as to command the prison? If Tucker did not set the fire, why would he be going in?” Kate completely understood and quickly nodded. “Yes, that’s right. If Tucker didn’t start the fire, why
afraid of? would the police arrest him? In that case, May, what are you
May was furious.
She shifted her gaze and wanted to say something, but Olivia had already completely lost patience. The amount of time wasted with these unimportant people was already reaching her limit.
She waved her hand. “Send these people out. Kate, leave too,”
After saying that, she turned to Bettany and said in a comforting tone, “Don’t worry, your mother’s leg will be fine. As long as it’s proven that she didn’t ambush me, she will be released soon.”
Bettany stammered. She wanted to say something, but when she saw Elena’s cold expression, she did not say anything.
