Chapter 1076

What?
How was it possible for Olivia to board the ferry before paying the fare?
It turned out that this was exactly what she had gone over to discuss with the captain.
“I’m afraid there isn’t much time,” Olivia said. “I have to go now. Thank you for everything. I’m not sure when we’ll see each other again. Promise me you’ll take care of yourself.”
With those words, Olivia turned around and headed for the ferry.
No! Rebecca couldn’t let her go.
If Olivia got away now, her only scapegoat would vanish. She absolutely couldn’t let
that happen.
Acting quickly, Rebecca caught her by the arm. “Olivia, wait!”
Olivia stopped in her tracks. “What is it?”
Rebecca hesitated, her voice shaking slightly. “What if the captain is lying? Boarding the wrong ferry could be dangerous. You may need to leave, but you still have to prioritize your safety!”
“You’re worrying too much!” Olivia replied. “The captain is completely trustworthy. I even checked the ferry’s registration number myself. The vessel is officially listed with the authorities. Everything’s perfectly safe. I’m leaving now. Goodbye, Rebecca!”
Just as Olivia started to walk away again, Rebecca grabbed her arm. “Olivia, you can’t leave!”
Olivia paused, her eyes narrowing as she scrutinized Rebecca. “What’s going on? Why are you stopping me from getting on the ferry? Don’t you want me to leave safely?”
“Of course I do!” Rebecca insisted.
“Then let go of me!” Olivia snapped, suspicion flashing in her gaze. “If you don’t, I’ll have no choice but to question your sincerity. You’ve been acting awfully suspicious all day!”
Rebecca realized that trying to hold her back was pointless. “Fine, Olivia. Off you go. Just be sure to send me a message when you arrive.”
With that, she released her grip.
Olivia gave a smile. “Don’t worry, Rebecca. I’ll stay in touch. Goodbye.”
Without another word, she turned and walked away.
Rebecca kept her distance, her gaze fixed on Olivia’s retreating figure as she prepared to step on board.
She glanced over her shoulder again,

She couldn’t wait all night. If Olivia got away, everything would only get more complicated.
Rebecca realized she would have to take matters into her own hands.
Without a second thought, she seized a wooden stick and crept up behind Olivia.
She lifted it high, ready to strike at Olivia’s head.
Knocking her out seemed like the only way to stop her from getting away.
But just as the stick was about to land, Olivia spun around, catching it in one swift motion.
Rebecca was stunned. She hadn’t expected Olivia to turn at that exact moment.
As they stood face-to-face, Rebecca’s mind went completely blank.
“O-Olivia she stammered.
Olivia glared at her. “Rebecca, what、
are you doing? Were you achet
trying to knock me out with stick?
Rebecca hurried to respond. “No, Olivia, wait! I can explain—”
Olivia cut her off sharply. “Explain what? Do you think I didn’t see everything? The shadows on the ground showed me exactly what you were doing. You were sneaking up on me with that stick! You wanted to knock me out!”
