The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 1060

"Alright, then let's make a bet," Hailey challenged. "I'm certain Rebecca won't agree. She'd like nothing better than to see everything fall apart."

"What do you mean by that?" Olivia asked.

"I mean exactly what I said. Are you brave enough to bet against me?"

Olivia thought for a moment. "Why not? Rebecca's been trying to mend things with you and rebuild your friendship. I'm sure she'll agree!"

"Alright, then. It's a bet. I'll be waiting to hear your good news," Hailey said.

Without another word, she turned and strode off.

Olivia was left on her own. She knew she had to go back and speak with Rebecca.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of three familiar figures. They were the very same men who had tried to assault her that night.

They were seated side by side at a barbecue joint, eagerly devouring a plate of smoky, grilled meat.

Olivia hadn't expected to find them here, but she was absolutely sure it was them.

Without a second thought, she pulled out her phone and dialed 911. "Hello, is this the police?"

She decided to report it immediately.

On that fateful night, the three men had tried to assault her, but Rebecca intervened just in time and drove them off.

Now that Olivia had encountered them once more, she was determined to make sure they ended up behind bars.

The trio was busy downing their drinks.

"Come on, let's have a toast!"

"Cheers!"

Olivia waited close by, and before long, a police car pulled up. Several officers jumped out and quickly pinned the three thugs to the ground.

The men were taken completely by surprise. "Officer, what's this about? Why are you arresting us?"

"We're law-abiding citizens! We didn't do anything wrong! You can't just accuse innocent people!"

"If it weren't for my friend showing up, I don't even want to imagine what could have happened. You all took off that night, but did you truly think it was the end?"

The three men finally connected the dots. "So you're the woman from that night!"

Olivia's lips curled into a smirk. "Yes, it was me. Officers, I have part of the audio recording right here on my phone. It was secretly recorded the night they tried to assault me. The evidence is irrefutable. Arrest them now!"

The men panicked. "You can't do this to us! Ma'am, it was our fault that night. Please, show us mercy this once!"

Olivia shook her head. "I'm sorry, but I can't. You may have gotten away previously, but there is nowhere left to run now."

One of the officers ordered sternly, "You three are coming with us. Take them into custody!"

Half an hour later, the men were arrested and escorted to the police station. As the victim, Olivia arrived soon after to provide her formal statement and seek legal action.

She turned to her lawyer, Peter Wilkins.

"I'm not accepting a settlement, Mr. Wilkins," she stated firmly. "I'm pressing charges today. I want them prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. No other young woman should have to suffer the way I did."
