Chapter 260 Unknown Joy
Olivia clicked in to take a look.
The topic was basically: [Late last year, at Angel Orphanage, a charity volunteer committed misconduct against underage girls.]
When this topic first came out, it attracted some attention online.
A reporter was very concerned about this matter and investigated it deeply. As a result, he discovered something huge!
He visited many orphanages one after another and found that similar situations had occurred in all of them.
Most importantly, all these orphanages where incidents occurred had traces of Medica Vitae Sect appearing there.
If it were just a simple social issue, it might not attract much attention.
But recently "Medica Vitae Sect" had been super popular online.
So when this topic came out, it gained some traction pretty quickly.
Currently, the heat was still rising, though slowly.
But as more and more people paid attention to this matter, Olivia felt that by around eight or nine in the morning, this issue would be pushed onto the trending topics.
Because that's when most people would be waking up and starting to check their phones - when online users were most active.
"The Johnson Group's scheme is really something!" Olivia murmured.
This time, they really wanted to destroy both her and Rodolfo!
Olivia's expression darkened completely.
Alex and Daniel had also seen the situation online. Both of them were decisive people who didn't drag things out.
Alex said, "I'll have people post something now."
Daniel also nodded, saying, "I'll have the media department cooperate. We'll push the heat to its highest point before the Johnson Group does!"
"Okay!" Olivia had no objections.
The fact that Chase liked Sophia was true - if they exposed it online, it wouldn't be making things up.
The Johnson Group was shameless first, so she didn't need to be polite with them!
Just then, Andrew, who had been back in Harmony City for several days, suddenly sent her a message.
Andrew: [Are you awake?]
Olivia saw the message and was slightly stunned, then quickly replied: [Yes...]
Without another word, Andrew sent her a file.
Olivia was a bit confused but opened it to look.
She discovered that the file Andrew sent contained several videos.
Olivia clicked to watch. The video quality was poor, looking like it was from surveillance footage.
And the surveillance had captured a man harming young children.
Olivia's expression was shocked.
She quickly opened the other videos and found the content was almost all the same.
The only difference was that the locations in the footage were all different.
Sometimes in an office, sometimes in a corner of a hallway, sometimes beside a very secluded courtyard.
In every video, the man committing these acts avoided places where there were people.
Olivia was horrified to discover that the person in the videos was none other than a young Lyle!
All their guesses from last night had been confirmed!
Lyle really was that scumbag!
At this moment, Andrew sent her another message: [When I had people investigate Lyle, I discovered these things. It just took quite a bit of time to find this evidence.
It should be useful to you and Mr. McCoy. Save these things first.]
Looking at her phone, Olivia never expected that at such a critical moment, things would take such a dramatic turn, and the situation suddenly became favorable for them.
Excited for a moment, she immediately called out loudly to Daniel and Alex, "Don't post the news yet!"
Because she was so excited, Olivia's voice rose several notches.
Unprepared, both Daniel and Alex were startled by her.
Alex asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Did something else happen?"
Because of her excitement, Olivia's phone was even shaking a bit. She told them, "I found evidence! Take a look quickly."
She directly sent them the file Andrew had given her.
Though puzzled, the two quickly opened the file she gave them.
Soon, they also saw those videos.
Not only that.
Andrew's file also contained some documents and photos that Olivia hadn't had time to look at yet.
All of them were about the disgusting things Lyle had done in the past, including affairs with married women and such.
After watching, Daniel's expression was incredibly shocked.
He looked at Olivia and asked, "Where did you get this evidence?"
He had tried many methods but hadn't been able to dig up this stuff on Lyle.
Although with his capabilities he could continue investigating, it was so long ago that it would really take time and effort.
But now Olivia had just laid out the evidence like this?
Alex was also quite surprised. He looked at Olivia curiously and asked, "Who gave you these?"
Olivia's mood had relaxed considerably, and she said in a light tone, "A friend..."
She didn't go into detail about Andrew.
She thought that since he could get this so quickly, it must still be related to his own status.
Thinking about how Andrew had once again used his connections for her, she felt something indescribable - complicated, yet grateful and with some unnamed joy.
However, Olivia didn't have time to think about all that.
She looked at the two people in front of her and asked them, "Now that we have this evidence, this matter should be easier to handle, right?"
Daniel understood Olivia's circle and, hearing her answer, also thought of that person in Harmony City.
His eyes suddenly deepened.
Although he had known the other party was strong, he didn't expect he had still underestimated him.
During this time, he had worked hard to dig up those things, hoping to help Olivia, but in the end, he still lost to the other party.
Daniel's eyes were unfathomable. It had been a long time since he'd had such a strong competitive spirit!
Alex didn't think as much. Hearing Olivia's question, his thoughts also pulled back from that file.
He told Olivia confidently, "With this evidence, we have the initiative in this matter. We can not only release the news and suppress all the controversy from the past few days, but also take the opportunity to strike back at the Johnson Group - killing two birds with one stone!
Also, we can report this to the police."
He told Olivia, "This is evidence of his crimes. We should turn it over to the police. Lyle has been doing evil for so long, it's time to let the law punish him.
He's finished this time!"
Alex's tone carried some satisfaction.
"Good!" Olivia nodded, having no objections to this.
Lyle had done so many evil things and constantly targeted her and Rodolfo.
Now that there was finally a chance, she definitely wanted to send him to prison!
Daniel also came back to his senses and told them, "Leave reporting to the police to me. This time we absolutely cannot let Lyle escape. It's also time to let him taste the backlash of public opinion."
"Mm."
After Daniel finished speaking, he began to arrange and handle this matter.
But unexpectedly, just as they were about to publish the condemnation article, another change occurred online.
However, this time, it wasn't an unfavorable situation for them.
On the contrary, for them, it was helpful.
Someone came forward to accuse Lyle.
The person who posted the video was a middle-aged woman, probably in her fifties or sixties.
Facing the camera, she began to introduce herself.
"My name is Catherine Thompson. I'm a retired housekeeper. Many years ago, I worked at Lyle's house, taking care of their meals and daily life.
I don't usually go online much. My daily routine is just focusing on taking care of my grandchild at home.
It wasn't until these past few days that I heard a lot about Rodolfo, Lyle, and Ruby.
Today I asked my son to help me film this video because I want to tell a secret I've kept in my heart for many years.
Everyone must not be deceived by that scumbag Lyle. Everything he said before was false!
Ruby was not killed by Rodolfo!
Rodolfo never forced her to do anything.
When Ruby committed suicide, she was indeed pregnant.
But before she killed herself, the child had already miscarried.
And the reason was because of that beast Lyle!
Back then, when he lured Ruby out of Medica Vitae Sect, it wasn't because they were in love.
His real purpose in marrying Ruby was to obtain the medical knowledge that Medica Vitae Sect kept secret, which she possessed.
When Ruby was alive, I heard them arguing. At that time, they talked about the truth of why Lyle was expelled from Medica Vitae Sect.
It wasn't because Rodolfo was jealous of him, but because Lyle himself had evil intentions and stole formulas from his fellow members. After being warned, he refused to change, so he was expelled from Medica Vitae Sect.
Young Ruby at that time was well protected by everyone at Medica Vitae Sect. Her personality was innocent, and after being seduced by Lyle, she eloped with him.
But she never expected that after leaving Medica Vitae Sect with Lyle, this scumbag didn't treat her well.
In the days that followed, she gradually saw Lyle's true nature.
She felt guilty toward Medica Vitae Sect, so no matter how Lyle forced her, she refused to teach him the medical knowledge.
So Lyle began to neglect her, spending every day outside living it up and fooling around with women.
He even brought other women home when he knew she was pregnant.
That day, Ruby happened to see it. She couldn't accept it for a moment and was so shocked that she miscarried.
After this miscarriage, her body was damaged, and her spirits remained depressed.
After finishing her postpartum recovery period, Lyle still didn't repent. When she saw him bring another woman home again, she couldn't take it, so she slit her wrists in the bathroom and committed suicide."
The housekeeper's tone was regretful and heartbroken. She said, "I know that by suddenly jumping out to say this, everyone might not believe me, but I've also kept some evidence about what happened back then."
She took out a stack of photo-like items. "These are photos of Lyle frequently going in and out of nightclubs and night venues, hugging and embracing various women. They're already very old.
There's also a suicide note Ruby wrote herself, and a short video she recorded.
Before she left, she thought there might be a day like this in the future when Lyle would jump out again, so she asked me to keep these."
When the housekeeper took out these old items, her eyes couldn't help but turn red. "Ruby was a very innocent woman. Because she was deceived in love, she regretted it until her death."
