Chapter 1078
No! This was never supposed to happen.
Without warning, Rebecca lunged at Olivia, panic rising in her voice. “Olivia, please stay! I don’t want to go to prison!”
A cold laugh escaped Olivia. “You didn’t worry about prison when you poisoned Hailey, did you? Oh, right! You used me as your scapegoat. You actually thought you could sit back and be the one who wins in the end!”
“Olivia, stop! I can’t go to jail! Hand me your phone! Hurry! I have to delete that video!”
With that, Rebecca lunged forward, desperate to wrench the phone from Olivia’s grasp.
But Olivia held on even tighter, refusing to let go. “Rebecca, stop! You’re being reckless! How could you even think of taking my phone? Is there nothing you won’t do?”
Meanwhile, Rebecca’s thoughts remained consumed by Olivia’s phone. She
wouldn’t let anything stand in her way.
Without hesitation, she shoved Olivia with all her strength, sending her sprawling to the floor.
After snatching her phone, she flung it straight into the river.
“My phone! Rebecca, you’re absolutely insane!” Olivia shouted.
Rebecca watched as the device slipped beneath the dark waters before disappearing completely.
A wave of relief washed over her. Fortunately, she had managed to destroy the evidence. It looked like she might escape jail after all.
Turning to Olivia, she said, “Let me tell you the truth. I was the one who poisoned Hailey. I despised every part of her. This world had room for only one of us.
“Why should she live happily while I was forced to linger in the shadows? Watching her filled me with jealousy and hatred. I wanted to take everything away from her!
“As for you, Olivia, you were nothing but a pawn in my game. Did you really believe I considered you a friend? How pathetic. In fact wa the one who hired those three thugs. I had them harass you just so I could step in as your savior. That little stunt was enough to make you want to be my friend.
“Not only did manipulate you to get close to Hailey, but I also used you to deliver the poison that killed her Don’t point the finger at me. If anyone’s to blame, blame yourself for being so naïve. I only made you the perfect Scapegoat.”
Olivia remained seated on the ground, her nails digging into her palms. In that
instant, Rebecca’s true colors were laid bare.
“Your character is absolutely disgusting. You’re nothing like the person I thought you were!” she snapped.
Rebecca, however, didn’t flinch at
Olivia’s insult “Go ahead, Olivia, criticize me all you want! Hailey’s
dead and you’ll be the one to
take the fall Everything is playing out exactly as I planned! I’ve wont I’m the one on top!”
With that, Rebecca threw her head back and laughed.
Olivia glared at her, slowly rising to her feet. “Do you seriously think you’ve won?”
Rebecca’s smile faltered. Her eyes narrowed as she shot Olivia a wary glance. “What do you mean? Haven’t I won?”
At that instant, a deep, familiar voice rang out. “You haven’t won. You’ve lost!”
Rebecca looked up, only to be struck by a beam of light that sliced through the darkness.
A moment later, Jonah emerged from the shadows, flanked by a group of men.
