Olivia did not care about being framed. She believed that she had numerous ways to prove herself if she wanted to, even to the extent of pointing out the logical flaws in their accusations. She was confident in her ability to unravel their allegations.
However, what amused her was that the members of the Taylor family weren’t interested in knowing the truth. They only wanted Olivia to take the blame and admit guilt.
In their minds, they had already sentenced her to death, making her struggle futile.
Regarding the text message, it couldn’t possibly prove her connection to the criminal. She could easily contact the mobile carrier to retrieve call records and duration. If she were truly involved with the culprit, there would be more than just one text message to establish a pattern of communication.
The initial steps of finding the individual, and arranging his entry into the hotel all of that required communication.
With decades of experience and wisdom, Liam should’ve detected the oddities of the situation. As long as he got someone to investigate slightly, he would be able to discover the truth.
Yet, he hadn’t investigated. He had chosen to follow Emma’s accusation and believe Olivia’s guilt without taking the time to properly investigate the matter.
At that moment, Olivia realized it clearly.
Liam was ready to abandon her.
Perhaps it was because she still had some hope in her heart, so she wanted to ask him personally if he was going to harm her.
Even William, the one who had shown her warmth in the Taylor family, had also given up on her.
Actually, at that time, Olivia was very confused. She didn’t understand why.
Why did they do this to her?
Had she done anything outrageous? No, she hadn’t done anything that warranted such a harsh reaction from them.

Olivia couldn’t comprehend their actions, nor did she want to waste her energy trying to figure them out.
Relationships were a matter of destiny, and maybe she wasn’t meant to be a part of the Taylor family. If that was the case, she would cut ties completely and move on.
Emma had become consumed by madness. Olivia glanced at her and calmly said, “If I wanted to leave, I would have already. None of those people could stop me.”
While she might not be as physically strong as those men, Olivia had numerous strategies at her disposal. She had various drugs and devices with her, and she could easily send a distress signal to receive assistance from others.
She had chosen to surrender since she considered their kindness in giving birth to her.
Olivia’s thoughts were straightforward and open, but Emma couldn’t understand.
Emma’s mind was convoluted, like a twisting stream, making it difficult for her to understand the vast expanse of others‘ hearts.
In Emma’s eyes, Olivia had orchestrated these events. She had the means to defend herself, yet she deliberately concealed them. She wanted to take on a pose of innocence to deal a fatal blow at the last moment.
Emma was convinced that Olivia intended to expose her illegitimate identity publicly after enduring all the humiliation.
In this way, the more ruthless Amelia was to her, the more regretful she would be in the end. Then, Amelia would take her anger out on Emma.
Emma recalled the time when Amelia had embraced her in the room, claiming to be her only daughter. She realized that Amelia could flip her emotions in an instant, from affection to resentment, from support to condemnation. This thought sent shivers down her spine.
No, she couldn’t allow that to happen.
Emma forced herself to calm down and fixed her gaze on Olivia. “Do you know why Liam isn’t on your side? Do you know why I would frame you so easily?”
Olivia responded, “Because of Yvonne.”
Upon hearing Olivia’s words, Emma’s reaction was like that of a startled lamb. She trembled and raised her eyes in shock. “How do you know?”

Olivia raised an eyebrow slightly. “Is it that difficult to guess?” It was merely a straightforward deduction.
She wasn’t incapable of unraveling convoluted schemes like these, but she simply couldn’t be bothered to waste her effort.
She preferred straightforwardness and open–mindedness. There was no wrong with striving openly for what one liked. But why would people engage in hidden machinations behind other’s backs?
Only those with weak capabilities and inferiority complexes resorted to such schemes, hiding in the shadows, and employing manipulation and cunning.
For instance, Yvonne had resorted to such lowly tactics, as demonstrated by her suicide attempt.
Hearing the disdain in Olivia’s tone for Yvonne and comparing it to her fear of Yvonne, Emma felt uncomfortable. She felt that she was inferior to Olivia.
Emma’s tone carried a note of scorn as she said, “Don’t be too arrogant. Yvonne had to rely on a suicide attempt to gain pity during her last visit to the Taylor family. By exploiting Amy’s compassion, she managed to drive you away. But now, her status in the Taylor family is stable. She doesn’t need to say a word while the Taylor family will automatically keep you away from her.”
“Tell me, what has she offered the Taylor family?” Olivia hit the nail on the head.
She had seen through the facade of the Taylor family members. If Yvonne didn’t have something substantial to offer, Liam and William wouldn’t have so readily abandoned her.
After all, Olivia had even won the Lasker Award.
Olivia’s intelligence and insight made Emma uncomfortable. She had always looked down on Olivia, considering her a bumpkin.
But every time they clashed, Emma always ended up losing.
Olivia’s casual demeanor and reasoning effortlessly dismantled her arguments. If it hadn’t been for Yvonne’s assistance, Emma wouldn’t have been able to compete against Olivia.
This woman was unbelievably sharp.
Emma composed herself and continued, “Do you know about the renowned doctor Isaac?”

Olivia raised an eyebrow.
Emma assumed that Olivia didn’t know and felt triumphant. “Of course not. You’re just a bookworm. You probably don’t even know about Isaac. Let me tell you, in today’s society, it’s not just about excelling academically and winning awards. Networking and resources are more valuable than mere academic achievements.”
Seeing Olivia’s furrowed brow, Emma became more and more proud as she spoke. “Isaac is the most formidable physician today, with miraculous medical skills. Countless dignitaries are eager to have him treat their illnesses. However, he’s protected by the state as he is a top–notch doctor. People like you, ordinary citizens, probably haven’t even heard of him.”
Just as she was speaking, Lynn suddenly knocked on the door and entered. She announced that they were going to move Olivia to the basement to accommodate Yvonne’s stay on the second floor. They wanted to remove the annoying person to avoid affecting Yvonne’s stay.
“See?” Emma pointed at Lynn and then turned to Olivia. There was a smug expression on her face. “Without a doubt, between you and Yvonne, Liam has chosen Yvonne. While you’re busy with your academic achievements, having no value to the Taylor family, Yvonne managed to bring the renowned doctor to treat Liam’s leg.”
Olivia had been calm and quiet throughout Emma and Lynn’s
conversation. She finally looked up when Emma mentioned “treating Liam’s leg“.
“Is the renowned doctor you’re talking about named Isaac Smith from Layfield City?”
Emma was stunned, her eyes wide, disbelief evident in her gaze as she stared at Olivia. Her tone became wary. “How do you know?”
It was true.
Olivia had previously suspected that she might have misheard. However, hearing Emma confirm it, she couldn’t control her emotions any longer. and burst into laughter,
“Interesting, truly interesting!” Olivia’s eyes sparkled with amusement as she looked at Emma. She asked a question with a sly smile.
“Didn’t you investigate my background?”
