The group didn’t dare to hang around, so they ignored Halma’s provocation. They gave the washroom a quick clean-up by hiding the evidence and putting away the equipment. Then, they walked out of the washroom as if nothing happened. However, what greeted them outside gave them a start because the woman walking toward them was none other than Olivia.
Olivia had a feeling that something had happened to Halma, so she rushed to the washroom. She bumped into Lexie and her friends on the way.
The women walked hand in hand as if talking about something funny. They would even lean toward each other to whisper a secret, earning a chuckle from another.
Olivia frowned at the sight. She stopped in her tracks and shot them a doubtful look as the group walked toward her.
She could tell Halma was at a disadvantage earlier. Otherwise, Halma wouldn’t have allowed another woman to attack her without fighting back.
Lexie’s and her lackeys’ hearts were hammering against their chests. Worried that Olivia would notice something, the group didn’t dare to look at her at all. The closer they got to Olivia, the faster their hearts beat.
As soon as we make it back to the hall, we’re safe. After all, there weren’t any surveillance cameras around the washroom. Besides, they weren’t Halma’s enemies. Therefore, nobody would suspect them.
She’s coming closer. Nine feet, six feet, three feet… Good. We made it! It seems like she didn’t notice us. The group sighed in relief. I thought Eugene’s woman would be wiser. That’s just how she looks, huh? She’s actually an idiot!
The group exchanged a look and their mouths curled into proud smiles. Just when they were celebrating their victory in silence, Olivia spoke up. “Stop it right there.”
Startled, the group involuntarily walked faster. Olivia narrowed her eyes. If only they didn’t walk faster after I called out to them… Their reaction only confirms my guess.
She darted toward the group. Stretching out an arm, she stopped them from walking away. She studied them with a level gaze. “Why are you running away? Are you guilty of something?”
Lexie tried to keep calm. “Where did the accusation come from? Do I know you?”
“My name is not important. However, I do know you!” Olivia sneered. “What did you do inside the washroom?”
Lexie stared at Olivia. The fact that Olivia was Eugene’s significant other caused her to grit her teeth. What’s so good with her? She doesn’t deserve Eugene’s gentleness!
Lexie glanced at the washroom and snorted. “Funny question. What do people do in a washroom? Have their meals, eh?”
Olivia’s gaze turned colder as she growled, “I’m here to find the assailants. You’re the one who hit Halma in the washroom, right?”
Lexie’s heart sank to her stomach at Olivia’s accusation. She barked back, “What the hell are you talking about?!”
After that, she sidestepped Olivia, trying to walk away. However, Olivia wouldn’t let them go that easily. She stopped them again with a sarcastic smile. “You know very well about what I just said. Care to explain how you got the injury on your hand?”
Lexie involuntarily took a step back at Olivia’s words. Then, she hid her injured hand behind her before retorting, “It’s none of your business!
I just knocked my hand somewhere.”
“And you didn’t even care to clean up your injury,” Olivia countered. “What? Does your meal taste better with blood?”
Blood drained from the trio’s faces, especially Lexie, who was white as a ghost. Her stomach churned at how things turned out. Why? Why does she have to show up at such a time?!
However, Lexie could never admit that she committed a crime, so she muttered, “Not that it concerns you. Get lost, or else I’ll call the police!”
Olivia’s brows shot up in amusement. “Sure. Go ahead.”
I can’t possibly call the police! Glaring daggers at Olivia, Lexie grumbled, “What’s wrong with you? Just get lost, or we’ll teach you a lesson.”
Olivia was amused by their overconfidence and she mocked, “And how are you going to do that?”
As soon as the words left her, she received another call from Halma.
