Chapter 697 Obtaining the Evidence
Mars snorted, "You think I'm not freakin' worried? But who the hell would dare mess with my turf? Besides, I'm the top dog in Veridiania. Who wouldn't show me respect? Maybe they're after you, huh?"
Rock's face went stiff, and he started to sweat bullets, thinking, 'Bentley's detective got dodged by my bodyguards. Who else could be gunning for me?' His eyes turned icy.
Olivia snagged a video of Rock, especially the part where he was chatting with Mars.
She also dug up that Rock had bought a house and a car for Sierra through his assistant.
'These receipts are enough to blow up Rock's "good guy" act in front of Winnie. Then I can spill the beans on how shady and ambitious Rock really is. He might not even love her anymore, maybe he's just using her or plotting revenge. Winnie will totally buy it. To bust Rock, I gotta be spot on! Winnie needs to dump him ASAP,' Olivia thought.
She stashed her laptop, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and hustled down the club's hallway. The back exit was just ahead. Olivia grabbed her phone to call Winnie.
"Olivia?"
"Winnie, listen up, head home early after work and wait for me! I got something super important to tell you."
Winnie was puzzled and smiled, "What's up?"
"You'll find out soon enough." Olivia hung up, knowing Rock wouldn't head back until he was done partying, and picked up the pace.
Suddenly, around a corner, a bunch of bodyguards jumped out and surrounded her.
Olivia's senses went on high alert, she pulled her hat down low and tried to slip away.
"It's you, right? Planting cameras in the private room?" The lead bodyguard, big and scary, walked towards Olivia.
"What are you talking about? I don't know you at all. Let me go." Olivia, just a weak woman, had no choice but to shout.
In no time, she was pinned down, and the bodyguard dragged her by her hair into the dark alley.
At the door of the private room, the bodyguard removed the micro camera and a tall man walked out.
'It's Mars!' Olivia gasped in horror, knowing things had gone south.
"It's you? Winnie's friend. What's your name? Last time I kidnapped you and your daughter, didn't you learn your lesson?" Mars walked closer to Olivia with a creepy smile, staring into her scared eyes.
Cold sweat broke out on Olivia's forehead!
"Why are you grabbing me? I'm just here to do some part-time work and make some cash," Olivia said.
"You're just here for part-time work? I never hire strangers off the street. Miss, what are you really here for?" Mars squatted down leisurely, took the micro camera in his hand, and held it up to Olivia's eyes, "Or who are you here to film?"
He glanced meaningfully at the door, where Rock, who had been hiding inside the private room, turned pale.
'It's Olivia!' Rock thought as his face changed dramatically, unable to figure out how she had discovered what he was doing in private. 'But since she followed me to the club, did she also find out about Sierra? That means she knows I'm cheating on Winnie and being unfaithful? Not to mention the whole time on the surveillance, Mars and I have been mocking Winnie.'
Rock's fists clenched tight, his face going pale as he thought, 'No wonder Olivia's been giving me grief, testing me with that snarky tone. She’s already onto something. She even warned Winnie against the company cooperation. Whatever she’s found out, Winnie can’t know.'
Rock quickly texted Mars: [Destroy her evidence.]
"I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't film anyone. I'm really just here to work," Olivia stalled, instinctively pressing down on her backpack. The computer had a device that could wipe everything with one click, and she had already uploaded the video.
But before she could act, Mars stomped on her fingers.
Her delicate hand immediately bled.
"What a delicate little hand. Jeremy must like it a lot, right?" Mars sneered, yanking her backpack off and tossing it to the ground. "Ms. Smith, your little tricks are nothing to me. Open her computer!"
The bodyguard immediately opened the computer, and a tech guy from the surveillance room came over. After cracking the password, they quickly found Olivia's video evidence and reported, "Mr. Martin, here's the surveillance footage she secretly taped! And there are some transfer records too."
"Who are you trying to ruin?" Mars sneered, "Destroy them all."
The computer was wiped clean, resulting in a blue screen error.
Olivia gritted her teeth, showing a pained expression of defeat. "Is that enough? I really have nothing left. Please, let me go. I'm just a weak woman, and I have no skills."
Mars glanced at the text on his phone and said, "That's modest of you. A hacker like you didn’t back up the evidence? Who would believe that? Someone predicted you wouldn't hand over the backups. Besides, even if you did, you are still a deadly threat to him. Ms. Smith, since you came here, you should have guessed you might get caught. And if you got caught, you should have guessed you wouldn't have a good end."
Mars's face grew more ruthless as he spoke, and he casually signaled the bodyguards, "Drag her out and find a place to solve this problem for Mr. Harrington."
Olivia's face changed dramatically, and she was filled with fear.
'My actions today were hidden well. I really didn't expect them to catch me through surveillance. And I didn't expect Mars to want to silence me. No, it isn't Mars. It is Rock, who wants to silence me. He is afraid I know the truth. Even if the evidence is gone, I am still a threat to him,' she thought.
Olivia's anger and fear burned through her, breaking her rationality. She struggled desperately, seeing herself being mercilessly dragged away, and she shouted, "Rock, you're in there, right? I know you're in there. You hypocrite, come out if you have the guts! You've been pretending around Winnie for so many years, aren't you tired? I finally understand, you only liked Winnie a little three years ago. Three years later, your so-called love for her is no longer pure. It's all calculation! You envy Lawrence. You want to control and destroy Winnie. You want her family fortune, don't you? But even if you kill me today, it won't let you off. Lawrence will rise again and expose you."
