Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 2058: Summer Hall Side Story (260)

"Olivia! Olivia? Are you ready yet?"

At that moment, Thomas Smith’s voice sounded outside the bathroom, startling Olivia Smith back to reality.

She squeezed her phone tightly, put it into her bag, quickly switched it to silent mode, stood in front of the mirror, adjusted her facial expression, and responded.

"I’m coming out, Thomas."

When Olivia came out, Thomas was standing outside with a worried look on his face.

Seeing her come out, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Feeling better?"

"I’m fine, Thomas. You don’t need to worry."

Thomas saw that her complexion was alright and finally felt at ease, saying:

"Mom is waiting over there, we’ve bought almost everything. Let’s head back first."

"Alright."

After being disturbed by Carter Quincy, Olivia had no mood to continue shopping. She returned home with a heavy heart, took out her phone to see that Carter hadn’t called again, barely sighed with relief, yet still felt a lingering sense of unease.

Since that day, Olivia had become jittery, constantly thinking that Carter would call her again.

Even when the landline at home rang, she would be startled each time, almost always rushing to answer the phone for fear that Carter was calling.

Meanwhile, after threatening Olivia, Carter was busy calling in favors to try to get her husband and son out of prison.

But they weren’t originally from Boston and didn’t have jobs, so what connections could they have there?

Moreover, John Taylor’s crime was serious this time; the victim was the Deputy Director’s daughter, and behind the scenes, both the Smith Family and the Hall Family were keeping tabs.

Not to mention Carter couldn’t find any connections, even if Olivia did give her a billion to find help, no one would dare take action.

She ran around seeking help but found none, for half a month until the court collected all the evidence and was ready to start the trial.

Due to the severe impact of the incident, the trial was public.

Online users were at their computers eagerly, but to protect the victim’s privacy, no one knew who John Taylor’s target was.

Yet online, there were plenty of arguments blaming the victim; when the incident first broke out, many said things like "flies don’t land on seamless eggs" and "it takes two hands to clap."

Outraged, Emily Gresia’s father used every connection he had to ensure John Taylor and his son would not get away.

Finally, the court’s judgment was announced: John Taylor was sentenced to twenty years, while James Taylor’s charges were relatively lighter, with a ten-year sentence.

At the moment the sentence became effective, Carter was stunned, then she collapsed in the courtroom, crying out loud and cursing the judge as corrupt and Emily as cheap.

She was subsequently dragged out of the courtroom by court officers.

Olivia had been constantly following the case, and seeing John Taylor sentenced to twenty years made her even more panicked.

With John and James both imprisoned, Carter would stop at nothing to drag her down too.

Over the past half month, she had been living in fear, and the Smith Family was starting to suspect her, if this continued...

Olivia held her phone with a pale face, slumping onto her bed.

"Olivia."

Thomas’s voice pulled her out of her panic.

"Huh?"

"What’s wrong?"

"Nothing much, Thomas, did you need me for something?"

She squeezed out a smile from the corner of her lips and asked.
