chapter 29 I just like to have it at my fingertips

"No, that's not the case!" Olivia bit her lip and shouted in a trembling voice. Her eyes widened, and she clutched her phone tightly. "I didn't!" "No?" Emma sneered. "Olivia, I know you are still in love with Steven. You must be miserable to see me getting engaged to him today. But the person Steven likes is me. I thought you would understand because Steven and I have been in love for a long time. Who would have expected you to exact revenge on me in this form at our engagement party? I..." Emma said as she threw herself into Steven's embrace and started crying pitifully. Emma asked, "Steven, are we really in the wrong?" Initially enamored by Olivia's gorgeous face just a moment ago, wanting to take her home, hide her away, and declare Olivia was his, Steven's face darkened upon hearing Emma's words. "Olivia, was it really you?" His eyes were frosty, and his voice sharp as he questioned Olivia, "Why are you doing this? Does this all boil down to me liking Emma instead of you?" Even though Olivia had long found out about Steven's true colors, she still couldn't help feeling stupid for liking him back then when confronted by his disgusting behavior again. "Young Master Lu, your words must be backed by evidence. Why do you think what Emma said was the truth?" Steven snorted coldly. "Why are you being pretentious now? Is this interesting to you? I'm not in love with you. That's why I chose to be with Emma. I admit that my heart wavered back then, so I was deceived by your sweet talking. But now that I have found my true love, why won't you let me go?" "Doing this to my fiancée at my engagement party to retaliate against me will only make me despise you more," Steven sneered. "Besides, Young Master Si does not care that you fooled around with men all these years while abroad and is willing to marry you, but you plotted against him! Does it hurt your conscience to do this?" Even Tim felt like applauding Steven after listening to the latter's righteous words, but what surprised him most was Olivia never raised her head, twirling her phone around, as if she was not affected by the words of the couple before her. He thought, "This is interesting." Tim smiled mischievously, looking forward to seeing Olivia defend herself. "Luckily, nothing happened between me and Young Master Si. Otherwise, I might as well just end myself..." Emma spoke. She leaned into Steven's arms, sobbing again. Emma and Steven echoed each other's words, confusing the onlookers around them. A thought went through the crowd's minds. "So this is basically a drama where the elder sister snatched the younger sister's boyfriend from her, and the younger sister arranged for her fiancé to humiliate her sister to get revenge?" "My poor Emma..." Mia, who had finally regained her senses, cried as she got up. She threw herself beside Emma, wailing, "Your life is so miserable. Even though you finally made it this day with Steven, Olivia still won't let you live in peace because of her jealousy." Steven didn't wait for Olivia to answer. He growled at her angrily when he saw her playing with her phone. "Why, Olivia? Do you have nothing better to say?" Olivia didn't bother to look up and asked coldly, "What do you want me to say?" "Do you dare to admit your mistake?" Steven gritted his teeth. Olivia finally put away her phone, putting it in her pocket. She raised her head. Even though her face was filled with grievance, her eyes were determined. "Why should I admit to something that I didn't do? Does this mean I must admit to everything regardless of whether I did it or not if you guys think I'm wrong?" "Stop trying to deny your involvement!" Steven sneered. "Does this make sense to you? Why won't you admit it if you dare to do such a thing?" "You said I did it. Where's the evidence, then? Show me the evidence; if I'm wrong, I won't have anything better to say then." Olivia smirked frostily. Emma was waiting for Olivia to say that. Wickedness flashed across her eyes. "Okay. I'll give you the evidence! Do you think there is no surveillance camera in the corridor outside? Do you insist I bring out the surveillance footage and show everyone how despicable and shameless you are? Do I have to do that to make you admit defeat willingly?" "Very well. I'll bring the evidence to you now!" Emma picked up her mobile and dialed a number. She told Olivia, "I have asked the person in charge of the banquet hall to make the necessary arrangements. Everyone, please wait outside for a few minutes, and the surveillance footage will be shown on the big screen shortly." Emma looked at Olivia as she spoke. She threatened, "Olivia, if you admit your mistake now, I can pretend that nothing happened, and the person in charge will delete the surveillance footage." "Are you forcing me to admit my nonexistent crime without evidence?" Olivia smiled sarcastically. "You ungrateful bitch! Then don't blame me for being heartless!" Emma snorted coldly as ruthlessness glinted in her eyes. She had already planned everything. Whether it was the surveillance footage in the corridor or the hidden camera in the dressing room, Emma arranged it all. It was initially intended to expose the scandal between Olivia and Tim to threaten Olivia into marrying Tim. However, Emma didn't expect that, in the end, the arrangements she made would be used to ruin Olivia completely. Emma mused, "After the incident from today leaks to the public, the news of Olivia fooling around with men abroad, hooking up with wealthy men after she returned, and sleeping with different men every day, and her action of nearly costing me my innocence because she was angry at me that she wasn't able to win Steven's heart will spread throughout the upper-class society, ruining Olivia reputation thoroughly. It's unknown whether Tim will still want her then, let alone other people! I want to see which rich man will dare to pursue Olivia in the future!" Emma smiled proudly as she went to the dressing room to change into a dress. She reapplied her makeup and freshened up her appearance, and by the time she was out, the big screen outside had already been turned on. Those insiders returned to the banquet hall and told others about what had just happened in the dressing room. At this time, everyone turned their attention to the big screen, waiting to see what would happen next. Meanwhile, Olivia sat in the most conspicuous position in the middle of the hall. The onlookers approached her subconsciously as they waited to see her reaction. Emma had been active in the upper-class circle these years. Because she was a great people-pleaser, Emma had a good reputation. As for Olivia, she had just returned from overseas, and not everyone knew of her presence yet, so they all wanted to see her embarrassed. "It's not too late to beg me for help now." In the crowd, Tim stood beside Olivia with a mischievous smile as he teased her. Olivia glanced at him, smiling. "It's too late for you to beg me now." Tim's eyes glinted with evil intent. "Hey, playing hard to get can become a little boring if you go overboard." "You don't know me well, Young Master Si." Olivia raised her brows. "I don't like to play hard-to-get. Instead, I've always liked getting the things I want easily." Olivia slowly closed her open palm as an arrogant and wicked smile appeared on her face. Just then, Emma walked out, and the screen started playing the surveillance footage of today's banquet hall. Emma glanced at Olivia smugly with a smile. When she saw Tim standing beside Olivia, her gaze turned frosty. She mused, "Olivia, just you wait! Everyone will look down at you after this!" "Wait. Is that Young Master Si and Miss Emma?" "What are they doing?" The confused crowd began to murmur all around Emma after the surveillance footage started playing. Emma's face paled when she lifted her eyes to see what was happening.
