Roderick’s expression changed repeatedly.

    He wasn’t sure if Olivia was truly finished, or if Natasha was exaggerating to deceive him.


    He held those things in his hand. As long as the rk family behind Olivia didn’t fall, he could continue to extract benefits.


    If Roderick gave them to Natasha, he would truly have no useful leverage.


    Moreover, Natasha might go back on her word.


    He hurt her so badly. If he put himself in her shoes, he would wish she were dead.


    Roderick let out a violent scream, sweating profusely from the pain.


    While he was still debating whether toply, a knife suddenly plunged into his palm.


    “Do you


    think I’m discussing this with you?”


    The soundproofing inside the room was very good, and the music outside even grew louder.


    When Sadie acted, the sense offort Roderick had felt from Natasha’s calm presence


    vanished.


    She was much more ruthless than Sadie.


    Deep fear enveloped Roderick.


    Her cold gaze and the blood gushing from his palm unequivocally showed that Natasha was no longer the soft, easily deceived girl she used to be.


    “I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you!” He trembled all over.


    His eyes stung painfully, mixing tears and sweat, which he dared not wipe away. “Olivia harmed several girls to build her reputation as a genius. One of them intended to sue her. However, the girl’s father suffered high–level paraplegia after a car ident and is still hospitalized.”


    He said, “Someone once privately mocked her as a parasite to the rk family, but she subtly suggested that the parents of those who mocked her marry their daughters off to abusive gamblers.”


    He added, “Also, while she publicly fed stray cats, she privately abused cats and dogs. I have kept evidence and secretly recorded videos.”

    Olivia handled some dirty matters herself.

    After Olivia had polished and presented some minor issues, it became clear that Lucas and members of the rk family had stepped in to help resolve them.


    Natasha and Sadie listened with faces full of rage. Olivia consistently crossed moral


    boundaries.


    Roderick copsed onto the ground in pain, and pleaded desperately, “I can give you all that evidence. Please let me go, I beg you.”


    Natasha smiled. “You only mentioned what Olivia, Lucas, and the rk family did, but you never brought up your own role in all of this. Roderick, are you truly innocent?”


    Roderick froze in ce.


    The bodyguard summoned by Natasha via phone pushed open the door. “Miss?”


    Natasha gestured towards the pale Roderick. “He has a fondness for the sea. Let him soak in the seawater for a few days to get his head straight.”


    “Yes.” Without another word, the men swiftly took Roderick out, covering his mouth.


    When Alexei’s video call came in, he happened to see Roderick being dragged out, and the bloody hand with a dagger sticking out of it.


    Sadie, who was observing, had originally worried that Alexei would see Natasha’s ruthless disy today and be surprised.


    Although many men were themselves ruthless, they still expected women to be pure and innocent.


    Unexpectedly, Alexei frowned and said, “Why did you do it yourself? It’s dirty.”


    Then the second sentence was, “That dagger’s position cannot guaranteepletely disabling their hand. Go down another inch. Severing the tendons is most effective.”


    After saying that, he shook his head again. “Just taking one hand is letting him off too easily, Natasha. You shouldn’t go easy on evildoers.”


    Natasha yfully blinked, “Don’t worry. That was just an appetizer.”


    Sadie wordlessly closed her gaping mouth. She was needlessly worrying. These two deserved


    each other.

    Alexei repeatedly hinted Natasha to go home early, and they finished their overly affectionate conversation. Sadie, who was fed up with their public disy of affection, finally couldn’t hold back.


    She poked her head out next to Natasha and smiled silently. “Mr. Turner, this is best friends‘ time in Nornytaar. Can you respect that I’m here?”


    She found Alexei ridiculous. Natasha had only been here for one day.


    Alexei wasn’t surprised to see Sadie. He smiled and greeted her, “Natasha has been well taken care of over there, thanks to you, Miss Torres. I heard Torres Group is looking for suitable gem mine sources recently. Perhaps I could be a backup option for you?”


    Sadie knew anything Alexei offered would never be a backup option.


    Sadie, who was just displeased with Alexei openly flirting with her best friend, immediately changed her expression.


    She decisively sat up straight, her face radiating a dignified resolve. <fne880> Newest update provided by </fne880>


    She said, “Thank you, Mr. Turner. Don’t worry. We’ll head home after this drink, and I’ll make sure Natasha doesn’t drink too much. Once Sophia’s dance troupe’s matters are handled, I’ll escort Natasha back.”


    Alexei smiled with satisfaction. “Thank you.”


    Sadie also smiled. “Don’t mention it.”


    After their pleasantries, Alexei said he wouldn’t disturb their fun, and would call Natashater before ending the video call.


    Meeting her friend’s knowing gaze, Sadie shrugged innocently. “Darling, I can’t help it. He’s just too generous.”


    The two of them exchanged a nce and chuckled,


    Sadie looked at Natasha and smiled. “I didn’t expect Alexei to be like this when he’s with you in private.”


    He was practically a clingy big dog.


    She smiled again. “However, seeing you two sopatible, I’m relieved.”


    If it were Lucas today, it definitely wouldn’t have turned out this way.


    Alexei was a better match for Natasha.

    Seeing her look like a touched old mother, Natasha couldn’t stopughing either.

    Alexei was good, but Sadie, who apanied her through her toughest teenage years, was also very good.


    They were different facets of light in her life.


    After a moment of tenderness, Sadie looked seriously at Natasha.


    She asked, “How will you deal with Olivia? And Lucas and the rk family? Legally, they were at most unknowingly aiding evil. What Roderick has won’t significantly harm them.”


    But letting them off, not to mention Natasha, even she couldn’t ept it.


    Natasha’s voice was distant. “What goes aroundes around. They chose Olivia back then, so of course, they must bear the bitter consequences she brings. Don’t announce Roderick’s matter yet. Once Lucas and Olivia are married and sealed, I’ll give him a big gift.”


    As for the rk family, her dear sister would soon be released from prison. By then, Natasha would go and wee her.


    During Olivia’sst limited moments of freedom, Natasha would let her shine her brightest.


    Olivia went from having nothing to building a good life, then faced public failure, gains and losses, prison, and more ups and downs. Now, after manipting others, she must face the uncertainty of fate herself.
