Chapter 1205
Hylda’s body stiffened, and she subconsciously gripped the bedsheets tightly. Unaware of her being tense, Albert turned away, as he was still reeling from the loss of his son. He had no interest in watching the surveillance footage and politely declined Olivia’s offer. “That’s alright, Mrs. Chapman. Thank you for coming, and sorry for the trouble.”
Olivia smiled reassuringly and said, “It’s no trouble at all, Mr. Jewell. I just want to make sure that everything is clear so there are no future complications for my business. It’s better to address these matters directly than to deal with misunderstandings later. Do contact me if you need anything, Mr. Jewell.”
Albert, being a businessman himself, understood Olivia’s perspective and did not doubt her intentions. On the other hand, Hylda glared at Olivia angrily, as she was unhappy about her interference.
Sophia furrowed her brow and said, “I think this is the wrong time to discuss this, Mrs. Chapman. My mom just had a miscarriage and is still recovering.”
Surprised by the news of Hylda’s miscarriage, Olivia exclaimed, “Oh my! I’m sorry to hearthat.”
Sophia expected her to leave after expressing her concern. But, to Sophia’s dismay, Olivia continued, “Then, that’s all the more reason to investigate and clarify what happened. We cannot let this incident go unaddressed.”
Sophia was at a loss for words. ‘Is Mrs. Chapman intentionally stirring up trouble?’
Upon hearing that, Albert felt an overwhelming anger welling up, as he recalled that he had lost a son. He was determined to find out who harmed his child. “Thank you, Mrs. Chapman,” he said.
“It’s no problem. I want to clear my name as well,” replied Olivia as she pulled out her phone and played the surveillance video.
