Chapter 36 Bet You Didn’t Expect That
Olivia worked at the welfare home, dismantling the various punishment rooms left behind by the former director while establishing a proper education system for the children.
By the time she finished handling everything, three days had passed.
But the reporters outside showed no signs of leaving.
Olivia frowned. She really wasn't good at dealing with these expectant-looking reporters.
Because to her, they weren't enemies—she couldn't just use her skills to drive them away.
So, under everyone's anticipation, Olivia finally appeared and dropped one line:
"I'll apply to Washington University."
After saying that, she went back inside the welfare home and paid no more attention to what was happening outside.
The reporters got their scoop and immediately edited it into a news story and sent it out.
So Vivian, whose emotions had just calmed down and who was enjoying her refined afternoon tea, saw this news and spat out her entire mouthful of tea, completely losing her previous elegant composure.
She opened her phone, wanting to confirm again with Steven that Washington University wouldn't make exceptions for anyone.
But before she could send the message, Steven contacted her first for the first time ever.
However, the message content didn't make her happy at all.
Steven: [The girl our school is making an exception for is your friend, right? Right after you asked me last time, I got the news, and then today I see this girl named Olivia applying to Washington University, haha.]
The text clearly conveyed Steven's happy mood.
Normally, Vivian would definitely take advantage of his good mood to score some points with him, ideally making Steven become her devoted admirer as soon as possible.
But at this moment, Vivian only regretted that her previous schemes against Olivia had been too mild.
"No way! I absolutely won't just sit here and wait for defeat!"
But Vivian paced back and forth, and apart from getting more and more anxious, she really didn't know what to do!
Meanwhile, the former director Mary, who had been kicked out of the welfare home immediately by Mayor Scott, hadn't left.
She disguised herself as an ordinary sanitation worker but kept hovering around the welfare home.
Only after she saw Olivia leave the welfare home with her own eyes did she quietly sneak back in!
After managing the welfare home for so long, how could Mary have only physically punished and abused those children? That was too simple.
With a malicious smile on her lips, she made her way expertly to the girls' dormitory.
In the very back of the dormitory lay a pale-faced little girl.
This was her purpose for coming this time!
She had publicly claimed this little girl had already been sent to the hospital for treatment.
Normally, after a few days, she would forge a death certificate and then sell the girl to a lab that specialized in collecting subjects with special medical conditions, earning her a large sum of money.
This was part of her under-the-table income over the years.
Looking at the half-dead little girl on the bed, Mary showed a triumphant smile:
"Although this is the last time, at least you can get me fifty thousand dollars. Still somewhat useful."
With that, Mary put the already unconscious little girl, blanket and all, into the garbage cart she had pushed in.
Then, with a calm expression, she pushed the cart out the same way she came.
Only this time, she ran into several children who were chasing and playing around.
Mary pretended to stay calm and continued forward. The children just looked at her a few extra times and then paid no more attention.
That night, just as Olivia was about to go to sleep, several children came to her crying.
"Sister, we think we saw the director during the day."
"She seemed to, she seemed to have taken Lily away, wuwuwu..."
"We thought Lily died like those other children before..."
The children spoke in fragments, but Olivia still guessed the truth.
She immediately opened her computer and hacked into the entire network of City A.
Surveillance footage flew past before her eyes.
Five minutes later, she spotted Mary holding Lily in the airport surveillance.
After finding Mary, Olivia quickly tracked down a research institute in Washington through her phone.
Following the research institute, she discovered lots of evidence of illegal human experiments similar to Lily's case.
Olivia had originally wanted to keep Mary in City A, but now decided to change her plan.
This kind of shady dealing Mary was doing definitely wasn't the first time.
Rather than just stopping Mary's one small transaction, it would be better to destroy the entire organization from the source.
Thinking this, Olivia patted the children's heads and promised softly:
"I will definitely bring Lily back safely."
The children sniffled, and one child hesitantly spoke up:
"But Lily is sick, the doctor said it can't be cured."
Olivia smiled slightly and said confidently:
"Then we'll just find a different doctor."
Hearing this, the children finally showed smiles.
Olivia also quickly took a car to the airport.
On the way, she contacted the Runaway Disney Prince.
Liv: [Arrange a flight to Washington for me in half an hour.]
Runaway Disney Prince: [Are you finally coming to see me? Hahaha, you're definitely going to be shocked!]
Liv: [?]
Liv: [I don't have time for your games.]
After sending that message, the other side immediately arranged a private jet for Olivia.
But when Olivia arrived at the airport, she discovered that this private jet was actually being shared with someone else.
Looking at Evan sitting across from her, Olivia nodded as a greeting.
Evan seemed to be in a good mood and even had someone bring out a bottle of collectible wine.
"This is from Château Margaux's legendary 1920s vintage. Over a hundred years old now. Try it."
With that, Evan poured Olivia a glass of wine and handed it to her.
Olivia took a sip. The wine was rich and sweet on the palate, with a lingering aftertaste of light fruit and pine aromas. It was indeed delicious.
So throughout the journey, Evan became Olivia's personal wine pourer, occasionally bringing her some small desserts.
As for Evan's phone constantly ringing, and someone having cursed Evan beyond recognition—he didn't care at all.
[? Parker, what gives you the right to get on my private jet?]
[I'm warning you not to make a move on that girl!]
[Say something!! Evan, you bastard, get out here and answer me!!]
The person on the other end of the phone was none other than the Runaway Disney Prince who had just been in contact with Olivia. However, he just happened to know Evan in real life.
They seemed to have a pretty good relationship.
Happy times are always short-lived. As soon as the plane landed, Olivia waved goodbye to Evan.
Ignoring Evan's hesitation to speak, Olivia headed straight for the George Research Institute.
Arriving at the institute's entrance, Olivia was stopped by the security guard:
"You can't enter without an appointment."
