Chapter 240 This Person, Better Regret Going
The netizens were arguing like crazy online.
Downstairs, David was still monitoring the online situation and couldn't help but smile.
At this moment, Michael was also checking what was happening online.
He had seen the news early on too.
However, his attitude was very calm, and he didn't do anything.
He looked at that person in the live stream video.
He used to think that without him, Olivia would be nothing.
But now, he realized how ridiculously wrong that idea was.
Only a few months after their divorce, her life was getting better and better.
Her career and background had completely transformed.
And every time she shone brightly, he got stepped on once.
So when the live stream came out, he just watched indifferently, with no intention of getting involved.
He even thought wickedly, 'How will Olivia handle this?'
She held such a high-profile birthday party—did she consider the consequences if something went wrong?
If she couldn't handle it, would she come to him for help?
It wasn't until things got out of control that Robert came to remind him whether he should step in and suppress the trending topics.
"No matter what, Olivia is Bianca's mom, and if you help now, maybe your relationship with her could improve a little."
Hearing this, Michael suddenly realized that Robert had a point. "Then go ahead and do it."
But shortly after giving the order, the online buzz actually died down.
The wave had been so fierce just moments ago, but now it was forcefully pushed back before anyone could react.
Michael was extremely shocked and immediately ordered Robert, "Go find out what happened!"
Robert also found it strange and went to investigate right away.
Soon, he came back to report to Michael that someone had suppressed everything behind the scenes.
So decisively and efficiently, they had resolved Olivia's crisis just like that.
Michael's expression was definitely not good.
He couldn't tell if it was disappointment or anger, but he felt really annoyed.
Robert could only sigh.
He still couldn't understand Michael.
Acting like he cared, yet deliberately holding back from helping. Now someone else had already played the hero.
Perhaps he still hadn't recognized his own feelings.
This guy was going to regret it.
After a while, Michael suppressed his emotions and asked Robert, "Was it those people at the party who handled this for her?"
Robert also returned to his professional demeanor and said, "Obviously not. Those people were also caught off guard by this incident. From the time they learned about it to now, it's impossible they could have handled it so quickly.
Besides, although each of them has a distinguished status, none of them alone has the ability to calm things down so quickly in such a short time.
Unless several of them acted together."
Then who could it be?
Michael's expression suddenly turned cold.
Robert hesitated.
He didn't want to say too much originally, but thinking that Michael was his boss, he pinched his nose bridge and reminded him, "I have a suspicion—maybe it was that psychologist."
Michael's gaze immediately shot toward him.
Robert continued, "You asked me to investigate his identity before. Recently I found some clues.
I traced it through Mr. White from the school.
He's from Harmony City, and he's the heir of the White family.
He has a very close friend who is the heir of the Robinson family!"
Michael paused, looking somewhat surprised. "That Robinson family? The Robinson family, Harmony City's top wealthy family?"
"Yes!"
Robert nodded and said, "The heir of the Robinson family is named Andrew Robinson.
However, because he had a falling out with his family years ago, he took his mother's surname and changed it to Hamilton!"
Hearing this, Michael's expression changed completely.
That psychologist was the heir of the Robinson family?
How was that possible?
Michael really didn't want to believe it.
But that man's bearing left him no room to doubt.
Because that kind of presence wasn't something an ordinary doctor would have.
The facts told him that after leaving him, Olivia could still meet better men!
Daniel was one, the heir of the White family was one, and the heir of Harmony City's top family was another!
Michael couldn't accept it for a moment, his expression changing repeatedly.
After watching him, Robert wanted to shake his head again.
Even if Michael wanted to regret it now, it was too late.
Olivia had many choices!
She wouldn't hang herself on his tree alone!
Michael didn't notice his expression.
He felt very irritated right now, so he just left the company.
When the car arrived home, he didn't get out. He rarely lit a cigarette, lost in thought about who knows what.
Inside the villa, Sophia was about to go crazy with anger.
She didn't expect that after spending so much effort and money, there wouldn't be any result.
This matter had really been completely suppressed!
No matter how she tried to turn things around, it was futile.
That Rick must have really been arrested. She didn't know if he would give her up.
She was both panicked and scared. If Michael came back and asked about where such a large sum of money went, how should she answer?
Was Olivia's crisis really resolved just like that?
Sophia was really unwilling to accept it.
Just then, Lyle called her.
His tone was quite helpless. "Ms. Brown, I saw the news. I'm actually quite disappointed that things turned out this way.
Those people have too much power. As long as they want to, they can easily cover up the truth.
I understand your intentions. I thought this time we could let everyone see Rodolfo's true face, after all, he once caused someone's death."
At this point, Lyle suddenly realized he seemed to have let something slip and quickly stopped. "Oh my, Ms. Brown, don't mind my rambling. I've been drinking and remembered some old things. I'm feeling a bit upset, but don't take it to heart."
Lyle acted too well.
Or rather, Sophia had already lost her rationality.
Lyle's words were like a lifeline, and she desperately wanted to grab hold.
She asked excitedly, "Dr. Warner, what do you mean by what you just said? What death? Can you explain in detail?"
"Oh my, what death? I'm just rambling. Ms. Brown, you'd better not ask. I can't talk about this." Lyle continued pretending, saying he knew nothing, but deliberately sounded sorrowful.
How could Sophia believe he really didn't know?
She quickly pressed him, saying, "Dr. Warner, I'm begging you. This is very important to me. Tell me, I can give you whatever payment you want!"
Perhaps this was her last chance to target Olivia!
Seeing she had taken the bait, Lyle was secretly pleased.
But he couldn't say it directly.
So he pretended to be drunk and started making up lies incoherently.
"I was expelled from Medica Vitae Sect back then because I fell in love with a junior from the sect.
That damned Rodolfo also liked her and tried to stop us lovers.
Because he was always good at flattering people, he had won over the elders of Medica Vitae Sect, so they expelled me.
Later, that junior refused to marry him and eloped with me.
Unexpectedly, Rodolfo was so shocked and angry that he accused her of stealing Medica Vitae Sect's prescriptions and medical techniques, forcing her out of the medical field, not letting her have a place in medicine!"
At this point, Lyle's tone became tragic, and he started crying, saying, "It's all because I was useless, couldn't match the power of Medica Vitae Sect, couldn't beat Rodolfo's methods as the person in power, and ultimately couldn't protect her."
Sophia's eyes lit up. She asked eagerly, "What happened next?"
Her tone was full of excited curiosity, without a trace of sympathetic compassion.
Lyle said, "Later, she committed suicide."
Sophia's expression was extremely excited.
So that's what causing someone's death meant!
Her scheming mind became active again.
Her target tonight was originally Olivia. Since she couldn't get her, she'd go after Rodolfo!
As long as something happened to Rodolfo, Olivia naturally couldn't escape unscathed either!
Thinking this, Sophia insincerely comforted Lyle a few words, telling him to let it go, then hung up and started thinking about how to stir up buzz online again.
Tonight's online situation made her understand that the birthday party involved too many people. Exposing so many people's affairs at once was why things got suppressed.
But if she only targeted Rodolfo alone, this probably wouldn't happen.
Moreover, the buzz had already been stirred once online tonight. Now wasn't the right time to release this explosive news.
So she had to plan carefully and pick a good time to deliver a fatal blow to Olivia and the others!
Sophia was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice the sound of the door opening outside.
Until a smell of tobacco came, she suddenly jumped.
Looking up, she found Michael had come back.
Sophia was so scared she quickly turned off her phone. "You... when did you get back?"
Michael noticed her panicked expression and couldn't help narrowing his eyes at her. "What were you just doing?"
For a moment, he seemed to see a sinister and calculating expression on her face.
Did he see wrong?
Would the innocent person in his heart really show such an expression?
Sophia quickly explained, "Nothing, I was just watching videos."
Then she changed the subject, asking with concern, "Michael, have you been drinking?"
After asking, she fussed over him. "You're still undergoing treatment. How can you drink? Let me go make you some hangover soup, otherwise your head will hurt tomorrow."
Seeing her gentle and caring manner, Michael barely dismissed his suspicions!
