Chapter 261
Chapter 261
Olivia had also thought about talking to Ryan these days. She could continue the investigation through his case.
But she feared that it might alert the mastermind, so she never took action.
She didn’t expect Ryan to reach out to her first.
Olivia pressed the button to answer the call. “Hello, Ryan.”
“Ms. Fordham, where are you right now? You askedto investigate Jodie, remember? I found something!”
Ryan’s voice sounded anxious, and there was no trace of him faking it.
Olivia probed, “What is it?”
“Jodie’s phone! But it’s already broken. I remember you being interested, so I’m calling to ask if you want it.”
“I heard that her original hhas been rented to someone else. Her body was found in the ocean. Where did the phone cfrom? If it’s already broken, how can you be sure that it’s Jodie’s?”
Olivia was smart, and she soon found the key point.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRyan thought that she would latch onto the clue without hesitation. He didn’t expect her to figure out the flaw so soon.
While Ryan was stunned, Olivia spoke up. “Ryan, I don’t know what your goal is, but my dad funded your studies.
“You wouldn’t be where you are today without him. I don’t ask you to repay his kindness, but can you not bite the hand that fed you?”
“Tsk.” Ryan clicked his tongue. “As expected, you’ve already caught on.”
Olivia remembered what Jack said to her. He told her not to do anything reckless and to wait for his return.
Today was Ethan’s engagement ceremony. What was the mastermind trying to do by baiting her at that moment?
“Ryan, I don’t know who you work for, but you should listen to your conscience.
“If you’re doing this for money, I can pay you double if you work with me. I can offer you more double if you want.”
Ryan replied, “Alright then. Cto Silent Coffee. We’ll talk.”
“I’m busy today, so I’m afraid I can’t go. If you truly have a clue, let’s meet another time. For the reward, you can ask for as much money as you want.”
“Looks like you’re not coming, then.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Then there’s nothing to discuss. Ms. Fordham, you won’t be able to escape.”
Olivia was about to say something when the call ended. She closed her eyes. By the looks of it, she couldn’t keep things under
wraps anymore.
The mastermind was trying to challenge her head-on. They had stopped playing nice today.
Olivia was exasperated. “Why today, of all days?” she thought.
She had a feeling that something big was about to happen.
She had already left Ethan alone and distanced herself as much as possible. That person should’ve given up by now, but they didn’t.
Fortunately, before Jack left, she had arranged for someone to protect Jeff. Their salary was a bit high, but at least Jeff was safe.
While it was true that Jeff would be safe, Olivia was in danger.
Chapter 261
Olivia didn’t take the bait from Ryan, so there must be another bait waiting for her.
But she had to have surgery today.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What do I do?” Olivia wondered.
She stared at the door, feeling like everything beyond the door was dangerous.
Before she realized it, her palms were sweating.
Taking out her phone, she subconsciously wanted to talk to someone.
She didn’t even realize that the first person she tried to call was Ethan.
It was a terrible move.
She hastily tried to end the call.
Just a second before she pressed the button, his clear voice rang out from the other end of the line.
Ethan had picked up right away!
“Hello.” His low voice reached Olivia’s ears.
Olivia was stunned. She never thought that he would answer her call right away, not on this day.
After a long period of silence, Ethan said in annoyance, “Say something.”
Olivia thought, “Say something? What should I say? Do I ask for sof his men to protect me?”
She had said to him just a few days ago that they shouldn’t talk to each other anymore.”
If she spoke to him on the day of his engagement ceremony, he would think that she was looking for attention. Olivia quickly cto her senses and said, “Happy engagement.”
