Chapter 1071

It turned out that the chicken noodle soup was tainted with deadly poison.
Olivia couldn’t believe it. “How could the soup I made be poisonous? This doesn’t make sense!”
Jonah met her gaze. “You made this chicken noodle soup yourself, didn’t you?”
Olivia nodded. “Yes, I did!”
Jonah’s gaze hardened. “Guards!”
At his command, a group of men in black rushed in. “Yes, Mr. Pilsner?”
Jonah waved his hand dismissively. “Take her into custody!”
The guards immediately moved forward and restrained Olivia.
Her face went pale. “No, Mr. Pilsner, you’re making a mistake! Why are you arresting me?”
“That chicken noodle soup poisoned Hailey. And since you were the one who made it, that makes you responsible for her death!” Jonah snapped. “I swear, whoever killed Hailey and my child will pay the ultimate price.”
Hidden in the corner, Rebecca could hardly contain her excitement. At last, Olivia had fulfilled her role as the perfect scapegoat.
“I didn’t do it, Mr. Pilsner! I would never hurt Hailey. She was my best friend—” Olivia cried out.
Jonah cut her off sharply. “And how am I supposed to believe you were really her friend? For all I know, you could’ve been planning this from the start. You and Hailey had a falling out, didn’t you? That’s more than enough reason to make me suspicious.”
“Mr. Pilsner, please, I didn’t do it! You have to believe me! I would never poison Hailey!” Olivia pleaded.
Jonah waved his hand impatiently. “Take her away.”
“Yes, sir!”
Without hesitation, the bodyguards stepped forward, escorting Olivia out of the
room.
Rebecca’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. She had just killed two birds with one stone.
Having secured her win, she turned and left.
…
When Rebecca returned to her apartment, she decided to treat herself to a long, relaxing bath.
While soaking in the tub, she poured herself a glass of red wine, her mind already drifting to the bright future that awaited her.
For a moment, she even considered visiting Ewan in prison to deliver the news of Hailey’s death.
Back then, Ewan had been so consumed by his obsession with Hailey that he’d betrayed Rebec for her. Now Rebecca was determined to show him who truly had the last laugh. ‘
In the end, she had come out victorious.
After finishing her glass of wine, Rebecca got up and wrapped herself in her bathrobe.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, breaking the silence. Someone was at the door. Who could possibly be here at this hour?
Rebecca opened it,

It was none other than Olivia.
Rebecca’s eyes widened in disbelief. Hadn’t Jonah’s men already arrested her?
What was she doing here?
