Chapter 9: Who Will Take Care of You if I Leave?

After hearing this, Olivia raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you know all of those people?" "Yes." The man nodded. Olivia rubbed her chin and said, "Can you help me bring all of them here?" "Now?" the man asked, surprised. "Yes, now!" Olivia replied with a meaningful smile. The man nodded and took out his phone to contact the people one by one. Then he left. These things could be sold for about three million dollars, so naturally he wouldn't leave here any longer. After these people left. Olivia called the maid over and said, "I will give you 200 thousand dollars, and you can leave now." The maid was surprised. "Miss, who will take care of you if I leave?" "It will be just me from now on. I can take care of myself," Olivia replied. The maid hesitated. "Miss, I'm truly sorry for betraying you and Mr. Hampton. Please let me stay for one more night. I want to make you a meal. You said before that you liked the food I cooked." Olivia coldly said, "Alright. Since you're leaving tomorrow, can you do me a favor?" "Miss, what can I do for you?" the maid asked. "Please help me pack up all the things in my room, and also the things in my mother's room. I need you to sort them out," Olivia instructed. The maid was puzzled. "Miss, why are you also packing up your things? Are you moving out?" "No, I just don't want to harm the innocent in the future," Olivia said with a meaningful tone. The maid was confused. "By the way, could you help me make a phone call to Julia? Just tell her that something bad happened at home. Her and Hillary's belongings have been moved out. Ask her to come back quickly," Olivia said lightly. "After that, you can help me pack things." "Okay." The maid went to do it right away. ... Julia didn't rush back until one and a half hours after receiving the call. That was because she had gone to a hot spring hotel on the outskirts. When she received the call and learned that her and Hillary's rooms had been emptied, her whole body trembled, and she hurriedly rushed back. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Olivia, Brady, and Freddy sitting in the living room. She went upstairs first to check her and Hillary's rooms. The rooms were so clean that not even a speck of dust could be found. They were indeed spotless. She rushed downstairs and came to Olivia. "Bitch, what have you done?" "Debt must be repaid. It's only natural," Olivia said with indifference. "You borrowed money and left without a trace. I had no choice but to use your things to repay the debt. Don't borrow money again next time. It's so disgraceful." "You!" Julia gritted her teeth. "Who gave you the right to move my belongings? I will sue you!" "Go ahead and sue me. I didn't lay a hand on anything. As a weak woman, I couldn't stop those men. They barged into your and Hillary's rooms and took things from there. You better hurry and report to the police, or it will be too late to catch them. But if you report it, everyone will know that you have accumulated so much debt for your daughter's engagement ceremony to Melvin, the son of the Conley family. How do you think they will see you, Hillary, and the Conley family?" Olivia narrowed her eyes and sneered at Julia. Julia was clouded with anger. Just then, the doorbell rang from outside. The maid went to answer the door. A group of men walked in, all of them looking intimidating. Olivia stood up. "Who are you looking for?" "We are looking for you." One of the men pointed at Olivia. "Pay back the money!" Olivia mocked, "You are looking for me? I don't remember owing you any money. Show me the evidence, or I won't admit anything." The man took a step forward. Brady and Freddy both stood up. "Sir, we abide by the law, and this is Mr. Frazier, the lawyer." Olivia narrowed her eyes. "If you provide evidence that I owe you money, I will repay every penny. But if it's not me who owes the money, feel free to find whoever owes you." The man immediately took out a loan agreement from his pocket. "Take a good look at this!" Freddy took it and read it through. "The borrower is Julia, not Olivia. You've got the wrong person." "What do you mean by the wrong person? Isn't Julia part of the Hampton family?" the man said coldly. Freddy adjusted his glasses and replied, "Legally speaking, whoever owes the money should repay it, regardless of their family affiliation. If you think I'm mistaken, why don't we go directly to the police station?" The man became somewhat uncertain. Olivia sneered, "Julia, they are here to collect their debts. You better repay them quickly and not tarnish your and your daughter's reputation." Julia was surprised that Olivia had found this loophole. If it weren't for Olivia's father lying in the hospital bed, being kept a close watch by Olivia, she would have made Olivia's father leave his fingerprint on it long ago. Unexpectedly, it had now become a hidden danger. Olivia also secretly rejoiced that she had always been by her father's side at that time, so Julia failed to plot against her. Otherwise, it would have caused great trouble. "Olivia, I am your stepmother, and I am also a member of this family," Julia snapped. "Your father and I are still married. Even if it's me alone who owes money, it's a debt of the couple and should be repaid together by the couple. Your father had money. The entire company belongs to him, so it is right for you to help repay this money. "I must make one thing clear," Freddy said coldly. "If to repay the debt of the couple, there must be money in Mr. Hampton's personal account. This money must not be recorded on the company's accounts. But before Mr. Hampton passed away, there was no money in his account, so you have to repay this money yourself." "No money?" Julia said angrily. "Then, it must have been taken by Olivia." Freddy took out a document. "This is the transfer record from Mr. Hampton's bank account that I obtained from the bank and with the help of the police. The evidence shows that you transferred 8 million dollars in batches from Mr. Hampton's account not Olivia. Unless you can provide evidence, words alone are not enough." Julia was speechless. She didn't expect them to be so well-prepared. "What? Do you guys want to dodge this money?" The man who came to collect the debt was furious. "Well, Julia is right here. You can ask her for it." Olivia pointed at Julia. "But make sure you tell everyone outside that the one who owes the money is not the Hampton family but Julia." "No way!" The man objected. "If you don't repay this money, I will go around and say that the Hampton family owes money and doesn't pay it back." "Ah, what a disaster," Olivia sighed and spread her hands. "I don't have money either." The man's eyes shifted. "During the day, didn't someone move a lot of things from here? I heard those things were really sold for 3 million dollars. We can also use things here to offset the debt. Think about it." A glint of coldness flashed in Olivia's eyes. It was showtime!
