Chapter 430
Olivia’s words had Bettany panic, making her feel a little helpless. Yet when she came back to her senses, she immediately shouted with false bravado, “Olivia, don’t you dare go too far. On account that you saved me before, I’ll let you go. Otherwise, you would have died long ago. You know how important I am to the Grant family, eh? Listen, only I can help you. If you know to be grateful, you should also know what to say and what not to say!”
The threat in her words was evident.
“Ha…” Olivia chuckled, then said with evident mockery, “So you do know that I have saved youl Bettany, you’re actually the most despicable person I’ve ever met. I’ve taken good care of you. I might not be a saint to you, but I’ve indeed helped you a lot. When you were restrained by your parents back then, it was me who called the police to come to rescue you. After that, I was also the one who saved you from Marcus and healed your right hand. In other words, you would not be where you are now if it were not for me. I have never asked for anything in return for treatment, have I? However, I never thought that the person I saved would. turn around and stab me in the back. I can’t believe that a person as despicable as you do exist in this world!”
At this point, she took a step forward to grab the whistle on Bettany’s neck, wanting to take it back.
Bettany, however, reacted quickly, pulling in back with all her might.
She heaved a sigh of relief only when she realized that the necklace was secure.
When she thought of what Olivia had said, she became so angry that her entire body trembled.
After all, Olivia had criticized her for being despicable right in front of everybody, including Alexander.
Utilizing the last bit of rationality within her, she maintained her composure
and said coldly, “Olivia, don’t you try to coerce me with your good deeds. Didn’t you say you never asked for anything in return? Why are you bringing up the past events now? You say one thing, but you do another. You’re really hypocritical!” Olivia curled her lips. “I’m hypocritical? Look what kind of ungrateful things you’ve done, eh? Don’t I get to talk about them”
At this point, Olivia paused, turning her head to look at the necklace around. Bettany’s neck. “How do you like wearing my necklace?”
“Olivia!” Bettany, who had become desperate, interrupted her sternly. “Shut up! Just shut up!”
Alexander, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly raised his head upon hearing this. At that point, his expression was filled with shock.
He wondered what had happened exactly, and what did that whistle necklace have

to do with Olivia.
Bettany’s eyes were filled with rage, and it looked as though she would like to strangle Olivia.
After glaring at Olivia, Bettany turned her head toward Alexander. She removed the necklace from her neck and explained, “Alexander, please don’t listen to her nonsense. I’ve told Olivia everything about this whistle necklace, so she knows the truth. You see, she’s a deceitful person. She might have something up her sleeve, so please don’t believe her!”
With that, she turned toward Olivia and raised her eyebrows smugly.
After all, what had happened back then was too distant from today, and there was no evidence available. In other words, it was too late for Olivia to say anything
now.
Alexander, who seemed to believe Bettany’s words, stared at Olivia and said coldly. “What have you got to say? What does this whistle have to do with you?” Before Olivia could say anything, Bettany interrupted hurriedly, “Alexander, Olivia is a stubborn person. Let’s just do it, eh? Don’t waste time talking to her. See how she’s being stubborn now? Let’s torture Daniel and see when she will relent.” Alexander’s gaze turned cold as he turned to Daniel.
It was indeed time to teach Olivia a lesson so that she would know her place.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and gestured to his subordinates. “Beat him up. Don’t stop until Olivia is willing to speak. Also, call the Research Institute and have it resume its collaboration with the Grant family.”
As soon as he finished speaking, two burly bodyguards immediately stepped forward, punching Daniel ruthlessly.
Seeing this, Olivia became furious. She simply could not believe that they dared to touch her man.
“Stop!” She walked straight to Daniel’s side, comforting him by holding his hand. Daniel nodded at her, showing complete trust in her through his gaze. Alexander involuntarily furrowed his brow as he witnessed the intense gazes. exchanged between the two, which suggested an unspoken connection and an ability to understand each other’s thoughts. A wave of frustration surged from the bottom of his heart, and he was ready to order his men to continue hurting Daniel.
However, his body suddenly swayed, and he felt sore and weak all over.
At the same time, Bettany fell hard to the ground.
