Chapter 913 Sharpness Part Four
Olivia fell pretty hard.
When it happened, her fragile high-heels were shattered, and her slender ankle was instantly swollen to the size of a bun.
“Ouch!” It was so painful to her that she took in a deep breath exasperatedly. “Why? I didn’t do anything wrong! Why are you treating me like this?”
A set of footsteps was heard approaching her from behind before Amos’ voice rang out. “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Suddenly, a cold look flashed across Natalie’s eyes.
She knew what was really going on.
Undoubtedly, the reason Olivia changed her demeanor and expression so quickly was that she saw Amos approaching them. She wanted to frame Natalie. Natalie thought Olivia, as the daughter of the respected Jones family, would pull higher-level tricks instead of a cheap one. It seems like I really overestimated Olivia!
Amos saw Olivia as nothing more than a pawn in a marriage of convenience between two rich families, so he didn’t really have any feelings for her. Still, he helped her up out of courtesy. “Are you all right?”
Olivia gently bit her lip while she stood up wobbly with tears in her eyes. “My leg’s hurt… I don’t think I can walk.”
“I’ll ask someone to send you to the hospital.” He was thoughtful, but it was obvious he didn’t care much about her.
“Ammy.” Olivia pulled the edge of Amos’ shirt and uttered, “S-She’s the one who pushed me! She said I don’t have the right to be your fiancée, and that I can’t possibly be your wife…” Tears began streaming down her beautiful face.
However, tried as she might, she could never take the spotlight away from Natalie.
Amos slowly moved his gaze toward Natalie. She looked back at him with a cold gaze, as though she was an outsider.
That look made him shift his balance.
She never had any interest in him. If she really wanted to seduce him, she could’ve pulled it off easily with her intellect yesterday, but she didn’t.
It was never in her nature to perform such a cheap trick.
“Treating your leg is more important right now.” He avoided Olivia’s question.
“Ammy?” Olivia stared at Amos in disbelief. He knew what she was doing, but he simply didn’t want to expose it. On the other hand, she perceived his inaction as protecting Natalie.
“We’ll talk more about it after your leg has recovered,” he uttered in a deep voice.
“But she…” Olivia turned her line of sight to Natalie. “She hurt me. Aren’t you supposed to do something as my fiancé?”
Her intentions were clear.
She wanted Natalie to be punished.
Natalie sighed resignedly in her heart. Olivia really is just trying to ignore the protection he’s offering, huh? He’s trying to defend her dignity, yet she seems so eager to throw that protection away. Well, if she wants to frame me so badly, I guess I’ll have to fight back.
“Just because you said I hurt you doesn’t mean it’s what really happened, Ms. Jones.” She smiled. It was faint but beautiful.
“What do you mean by that? Are you saying I’m lying right now?” Olivia raised her voice. “Ammy saw you pushing me! It’s an undeniable fact that you pushed me to the ground!”
“What about the surveillance cameras?” Natalie raised her chin sightly, signaling Olivia to take a look at the surveillance cameras behind her. “I think you were so focused on Mr. Stone that you forgot to pay attention to the surveillance cameras. Once we check the footage, we’ll know if I did push you or not.”
The moment she finished speaking, Olivia turned around and saw the surveillance cameras behind her. Her face became pale immediately. How could this happen? I thought I acted flawlessly in front of Amos earlier, but now it seems my lie is about to get exposed!
The more meticulous her act was, the more embarrassed she felt at that moment.
Natalie stepped toward her and blinked. “Now that I’ve mentioned the surveillance cameras, do you remember how you fall down now, Ms. Jones?”
