Chapter 57
Olivia looked around and found no one else there. She then spoke to Sophia.
“Sophia, can you give me that?” Olivia said.
Sophia quickly stood up and asked, “Give you what?”
“The thing you’re holding.” Olivia answered.
Sophia shook her head and refused” “This isn’t a good thing. Of course, I can’t give it to you. Do you want to feed it to Ms. Fletcher? You want to poison herl
Olivia smiled. “Of course not. It’s just a candy. I think Christie will wake up soon, so I want to give her a candy.”
Sophia scoffed and said, “Whether it’s candy or poison, it will be known once Mr. Fletcher takes it for testing.”
Olivia threatened in a cold tone, “Sophia, you’re asking for it!”
At this moment, the door was pushed open.
Pushing Vincent in, Stephanie raised her eyebrows and asked, “Who’s asking for what?”
Olivia originally planned to give Christina some pills to keep her from waking up, but Sophia’s presence caught her by surprise.
She had to get rid of Sophia, or she would be done if Vincent heard about it.
She didn’t expect Stephanie and Vincent to come here as if on cue. This meant that they had suspected her for a long time. It was a trap.
Olivia explained, “I just want to find Christie and give her a candy.”
Vincent sneered and said, “Candy? Are you sure it’s not poison?”
Tears welled up in Olivia’s eyes. “Uncle Vincent, why don’t you trust me?”
Vincent’s expression was dark, and his eyes seemed to have frozen over. The coldness he emanated made people tremble.
“I don’t have a niece like you. Sophia, bring that thing here,” Vincent said.
Sophia ran to Vincent and released the red pill she was holding onto his palm.
Stephanie picked it up and put it to her nose before taking a sniff. “It’s a kind of drug that can paralyze the nerves. Its ingredients may be Zopiclone, Eszopiclone, and other stuff. You need to analyze it with the proper equipment to know for sure, though. If a healthy person takes it, it will cause a dull reaction and drowsiness, but if a person who already has a damaged brain takes it, it will cause nerve paralysis. For example, if Christie takes it, it will delay the time for her to wake up. If the purity of the medicine is high and the dose is large, it’s very likely that she will not wake up.”
Olivia didn’t expect that Stephanie could recognize the pill. Normally, no one could confirm what kind of a pill it was just by sniffing it.
She wondered if Stephanie had proficient medical skill.
Olivia denied it, “My assistant gave it to me. He said it’s good for my health
“Olivia, do you think we won’t find out what you have done? Do you think the deleted surveillance footage can’t be restored?” Vincent asked.

Olivia’s eyes widened in shock.
Coldly. Vincent said, “The guest will arrive soon. Let’s go to the living room. Sophia, take her downstairs.”
Sophia nodded. “Yes!”
Stephanie pushed Vincent into the elevator while Sophia dragged Olivia down the stairs by the collar.
When Olivin reached the last step, she saw Frederick and Edith sitting on the couch in the living room. The two of them looked angry and confused.
Olivia cried and called out to the couple, but they remained motionless
Vincent dialed a number, and not long after, the bodyguard brought in the van driver and Olivia’s assistant, Ormand.
The driver’s face was badly bruised and swollen. He directly confessed that someone had paid him to beat someone up.
Money made the world move. He thought it was a good offer. Not only could he vent his anger, but he would also make money from it.
However, he didn’t expect that the person who hired him could be the best actress. He only slapped her body and face a few times.
Olivia’s assistant, Ormand, was in charge of the arrangement.
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Olivia burst into tears.
Vincent said coldly. “I will give you one chance. Why do you want to hurt Christie? Did you cause her to fall down the stairs?”
Olivia plopped on her knees with a thud and crawled forward. “Uncle Vincent, it’s not my fault that Christie fell down the stairs. It’s her own fault. In recent years, wherever I went, I was called a prominent young lady. The fame and fortune seized me for a moment. I wanted to monopolize all of this because of my vanity.”
Stephanie asked, “Where did you get the pills? There’s no medicine with such quality on the market. Where did you get them?”
Olivia sniffed and said, “Ormand helped me get it. I don’t know where it came from.”
“I bought the drug off the dark web,” said Ormand:

With tears all over her face, Olivia crawled over on her knees and said, “Dad, Mom, please forgive me. I just lost it for a bit. I’m afraid that you won’t love me anymore when Christie wakes up. Dad, Mom, if I really want to kill Christie, I won’t drug her, right? I’m just afraid of losing your love! Dad, Mom…”
Edith’s eyes were wide open, and her whole body was trembling. “I didn’t expect you to drug her. How could you be so cruel? Christie has always adored you and even called you her sister. She has been obedient and sensible since she was a child. She has never argued with you for anything. Why can’t you let her go? Our family has treated you well. How can you be so ungrateful?”
Olivia tried to pull the hemline of Edith’s dress but was pushed away. “Don’t touch me! I really regret adopting you!”
She looked at Frederick and said, “It was you who brought this vicious woman home. You destroyed Christiel”
Frederick looked at Olivia with disappointment. He didn’t expect that she would do this.
Edith’s eyes
es were full of hatred. She grabbed Frederick’s arm and said, “Put her in jail! She harmed Christie, She deserves to be punished!”
other who saved
Olivia’s eyes widened as she saw Frederick considering it. She grabbed his trousers in a hurry and begged, “Dad, I beg you. Think of my father, you at the cost of his life. Please forgive me this time, okay?”
Edith glared at her and said, “You’re gaslighting him now? Your father saved Frederick, but we raised you. We’ve already repaid his kindness. The point is,

you hurt Christie!”
Olivia kept begging on her knees. “Dad, please…”
Frederick cloved his eyes and sternly said, “From now on, you
on, you are no longer a member of our family. This is my last mercy to you. Leave!”
Pain and reluctance filled Olivia’s eyes. “Dad, Mom, I’m sorry. I’m sorry…..
She stood up
and looked at Vincent, but the man didn’t spare her even a glance,
Her eyes fell on Stephanie, but she quickly looked away and s t a g r d out of the mansion.
Edith hit Frederick with her fist angrily. “It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault that Christie suffered such a thing?”
Frederick lowered his head and let Edith vent her anger.
He didn’t expect that his adopted daughter would repay his kindness with hostility more than a decade later.
“Sorry, I’m really sorry…” Frederick muttered.
The always energetic second son of the Fletcher family seemed to have aged ten years older.
Frederick buried his face in his palm, and tears dripped through his fingers.
Vincent raised his hand, and the bodyguard took the driver and Ormand out.
At this moment, the elevator door opened.
Stephanie turned around and greeted the person inside.
She took the wheelchair from the butler and looked at the little girl with beautiful eyes. “How are you feeling?”
Christina nodded and said, “My head still feels a bit heavy
“It’ll be fine in a while. Go see your parents,” said Stephanie, pushing the wheelchair toward Frederick and Edith.
“Dad, Mom,” Christina called out.
The couple, who were crying while holding each other, heard the familiar voice and looked up with disbelief in their eyes.
“Christia!” cried them both.
Edith suddenly stood up and hugged Christina, crying “My daughter…”
Tears fell down Frederick’s cheeks. Choking up with s b s , he held Christina’s hand.
Stephanie went to Vincent’s side and said, “It’s been three years. The three of them can finally talk to each other.”
Vincent nodded. “Let’s go back. Paul will arrange their stay.”
After returning to the bedroom, Vincent called Zane. “Follow her, but don’t let her find out. We don’t want them to be alert.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Fletcher,” said Zane.
Letting Olivia go wasn’t in the plan Thou shouldan L.

not be ruled out that Olivia pushed her down.
However, Stephanie found that the medicine Clivia brought wasn’t available in the black market, and only insiders could get it. This meant that Olivia wasn’t an ordinary person.
Once the pills were mass-produced, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Vincent understood Stephanie’s meaning with just a glance.
Anything Stephanie wanted to be done would be the right thing to do.
He sent someone to follow Olivia to check her whereabouts; see who she had contact with, and find the source of the drug.
Meanwhile, Olivia was in the taxi and gnashed her teeth with hatred.
She cursed Ormand for being useless. He said the hacker was ver
very skilled, yet Vincent was able to restore the surveillance footage and find the driver.
She swore that she would avenge herself for what she had suffered.
