Chapter 1077

After glancing at the shadows on the ground, Rebecca realized there was no way to talk herself out of this. Olivia had seen everything.
There was no point in pretending any longer. Her smile disappeared, and her expression hardened.
“Well, Olivia,” she said, “since you’ve already seen everything, I suppose I have nothing left to say.”
“But why would you do this, Rebecca? Didn’t you say we were best friends—”
Before Olivia could finish, Rebecca cut her off. “Best friends? Did you ever really treat me like one? In your heart, there was only Hailey. Whenever she and I disagreed, you always took her side. We were never on the same team!”
Olivia’s face flushed with anger. “So that’s what you really think of me, huh? Haven’t I ever been there for you?”
“Not once,” Rebecca shot back. “When that scandal with Jonah blew up, you forced me to explain everything to the media. You only ever cared about Hailey!”
Olivia let out a cold laugh. “Do you still not understand why I asked you to clarify things? I’m not that naive. From everything I know about Mr. Pilsner, he’d never be interested in you. There’s no way he’d ever lay a hand on you.”
“What do you mean by that?” Rebecca snapped. “Are you saying you suspected me?”
“Yes,” Olivia replied. “You’ve always been unusually close to Mr. Pilsner. Every tabloid scandal seems to revolve around the two of you. I suspected from the start that you were deliberately trying to seduce him. I bet your goal all along was to snatch Hailey’s happiness away.”
Her gaze bore into Rebecca as she spoke. “Come on. It’s just the two of us here, isn’t it?”
Rebecca sneered. “That’s right. You’re absolutely right! I was trying to seduce Jonah and steal Hailey’s happiness!
“I already knew he would be in the VIP room that evening at the club. I brought a bowl of soup inside, intending to seduce him. Sadly, he ignored my attempt entirely.
“Since he treated me with such coldness, I decided to turn the tables. I accused him of assault and exposed everything to the media. Not only did I tank his company’s stock, but I also drove a wedge between him and Hailey!”
Olivia listened in shock. Although she had long suspected what kind of person Rebecca was, hearing her confess everything aloud left her utterly stunned.
Rebecca had clearly lost all sense of right and wrong.
“Damn it, Rebecca! I never imagined this was part of your plan! You poisoned the chicken noodle soup too, didn’t you?”
Rebecca’s lips curved into a smug smile. “I’m afraid that wasn’t me. You laced the soup yourself. I’m not admitting to a thing.”
Olivia glared at her. “Are you seriously still denying it? Maybe you should see this first.”
With that, she pulled out her phone and played a surveillance video.
Rebecca’s eyes widened as she watched the footage. The video clearly showed her picking up the thermos in the living room. After removing the lid, she poured the packet of poison inside.
The realization hit her like a thunderbolt. She had believed her plan was perfect, but
to her horror, the camera had captured every detail.
“Damn it, Olivia! Did you seriously wire your living room with cameras?”
“Yes, I did. Now that everything is on record, are you still going to deny what happened?”
“So that’s why you were probing me back at the apartment… You already had the proof.”
“I just wanted to see if there was even a sliver of conscience left in you. But clearly, there isn’t. Your heart is completely rotten. Not only did you poison Hailey but you also
ied to frame me and make me your scapegoat. Your cruelty is beyond comprehension!”
Olivia was furious, and her whole body was trembling. Clutching her phone tightly, she spat, “I’m taking this surveillance footage to the police right now! You’re nothing but a murderer. I can’t wait for you to rot in prison!”
After saying that, she turned and walked off.
Panic surged through Rebecca. Tonight had turned into a complete nightmare.
She couldn’t believe Olivia actually had solid proof of her crimes. The moment it landed in the police’s hands, her life would be over.
