Chapter 24: Andrew Vs Sarah Olsen

That morning, the television broadcast the first hearing after the beautiful influencer Sarah Olsen reported Lucy, Mr. Andrew's secretary from Drew Furniture. What surprised everyone was Sarah Olsen arriving covered in bandages and with a limp. All media outlets highlighted it, thinking perhaps Lucy intentionally wanted to ruin Sarah Olsen's beauty.

And Lucy arrived, holding hands with his boss, Andrew, who was there to attend the hearing. He was wearing a cool suit and sunglasses. He said they weren't afraid of Sarah Olsen.

When the hearing began, there was a lot of bickering. Andrew couldn't accept that his secretary was being accused of causing the accident, while Sarah wanted to seek justice because her current physical condition had caused her significant losses, and she still had to appear in the media.

"I have a lot of evidence; our car was chased and shot at by someone. Give me the CCTV recording!" Sarah Olsen looked angry, because from the beginning the inspection seemed to favor Andrew.

"We have received the CCTV footage, but there was no shooting as you stated," said the judge.

"How can it not be seen? Meanwhile, our car tire was shot, and an accident occurred. You have to be fair. Were you bribed by that man?" Now Sarah is pointing at Andrew. It seems his respect for Andrew is gone because Andrew couldn't open his eyes and instead defended the wrongdoer.

"Initially, I was interested in him; I thought we could collaborate and grow our business into a large one. However, the jealousy of that ordinary woman destroyed everything. Now I'm not willing to cooperate with Drew Furniture, and I will report any internet user who tries to set us up," Sarah Olsen stated emphatically.

"Who's interested in you? From the beginning, I was never interested in your steel or your fame. You're nothing compared to my wife!" The atmosphere became boisterous when Andrew sarcastically replied to Sarah Olsen's statement.

"You're so arrogant. I'm amazed at how the public can defend and love this man who only has a beautiful physique to offer. Beside his perfect physique, Mr. Andrew from Drew Furniture is just trash!" And the war began.

"You call that trash? I'll put you in jail for your words, so you'll know who I am! You disabled woman!" The judge couldn't even break them up. Witnesses from both sides could only keep them from arguing in the middle of the trial, not to mention Sarah's current very poor condition.

"I'm disabled because of you, because of the woman you're protecting. I suspect you're having an affair with her. Let the media know! His wife wouldn't have left him if there hadn't been a fire lit from the beginning." Sarah Olsen went all out saying bad things about Andrew, and vice versa.

"Lucy isn't that kind of person. And I have never cheated on my wife. I'm going to tell everyone that you're just taking advantage of my fame, coming around when I'm being heavily covered in the media, and coming around when I'm still grieving the death of my wife. And when the media dragged your name into it, you used that situation to get close to me. I'm sure you just want to make a profit on your own."

This time Sarah Olsen has been silenced, the hearing is closed, and they are all asked to disperse. Lucy remained silent throughout the trial, busy wiping away fake tears without defending Andrew, who had come to defend her. Even though after this, Andrew's image will definitely be ruined because of her.

But after that, many internet users apologized for having matched Andrew with Sarah Olsen. For them, the fault lies with those who tried to attract other women while Andrew was still grieving.

Andrew's image isn't bad; perhaps only a handful of people regretted his behavior during the trial because he dared to defy Sarah Olesen's words and insult Sarah Olsen.

However, it was Sarah Olsen who received the most hatred, allegedly exploiting Andrew's situation to gain more sympathy and fame.

After the trial, Andrew also revealed that his meeting with Sarah Olsen was not to discuss real business. Sarah Olsen came to establish a partnership, create a scenario that they were dating, and gain more media attention.

However, Andrew firmly stated that he was still in a state of mourning, and nothing could replace Matilda in his heart.

The news ended, and I, Collin, Anthony, and Aunt Rose were stunned after watching it. No one dared to say anything when my name was called repeatedly by Andrew.

I bowed my head; this wasn't my business anymore. Andrew even looked fine after I left, even though he said he was grieving and still kept me in his heart. In fact, he even looked fine; Andrew even looked fuller, perhaps because Lucy had been taking care of him. And there's something he's hiding from the media, like his relationship with Lucy.

"It's perfectly clear how Andrew could forget Mrs. Matilda. Sarah Olsen isn't even as beautiful as Mrs. Matilda, and she has a greedy heart." Aunt Rose started the conversation.

"Sarah Olsen is indeed beautiful, and she's also clever at taking advantage of situations, but all her true colors were revealed at the trial. Her image will be destroyed; her beauty will be a consideration, as Colli said," Anthony said, lost in thought. The news was quite shocking; they finally showed many of their true colors in public.

"However, Andrew was still lucky, because handsome men will always be defended even if they make mistakes. What's even more tragic is how the media only focused on Sarah Olsen. Even though Andrew's true nature is clearly visible now, it's not something to be emulated. Only a handful of people realized that Andrew had a bad temper when he spoke and exposed his opponent's flaws." Collin's statement was true; the media did not highlight Andrew's demeanor during the trial. Given his status as a gentleman, he should have remained silent even if his opponent tried to bring him down.

"Handsome and rich men will always be defended and win," Anthony said.

"Mother doesn't even feel beautiful anymore. His nature and attitude do not reflect that of a respectable man; he also hurts his wife. Perhaps the media is just unaware of how harsh he is toward her. Everything should be revealed to the public. Poor my daughter Matilda, last night she even screamed hysterically dreaming about their children who had passed away," Aunt Rose said about last night's events. Anthony exclaimed in surprise, while Collin just turned to me as if asking for an explanation of whether it was true or not.

I couldn't say anything other than nod my head as a sign that Aunt Rose's words were true. Andrew's influence on me was so great; he ruined everything in me until I became like this.

At that moment, Collin stood up and said, "Come with me." I looked up, staring at Collin, who towered over me.

"There are no medications I can give you here, so all we can do to stop and ease the memory of those nightmares is by talking."
