Less than twenty - four hours after my humiliation , all the arrangements were complete . Two burly security guards . flanked me as we walked through Harbor City Regional Airport , their grip on my arms tight enough to prevent any escape attempt . I kept my head high despite the tears threatening to spill .

How dare they treat me like a criminal ? After everything I'd done for this family ? As I boarded the plane , hatred consumed me like a living flame . My nails dug crescents into my palms as I settled into the first - class seat they'd booked to ship me away . " Olivia Winters , " I whispered venomously , " all of this is your fault . " The flight attendant offered me a drink , but I waved her away . My thoughts were too poisonous for interruption .

Without that woman , Connor would have eventually noticed me . He would have seen my devotion , my love that had never wavered since childhood . He would have been mine . " You stole him from me ! " I hissed under my breath , causing the passenger across the aisle to glance over nervously . I turned to stare out the window as the plane began to taxi . The Western Territory awaited me - along with someone who might help me overturn this nightmare and exact the revenge I so desperately craved .

A cold smile curved my lips . This wasn't over . Not by a long shot . ( Olivia's POV ) The afternoon light slanted through the windows of Moonlaw Legal Services as I organized the last of my case files . Most of my colleagues had already left for the day . when Heather Phillips approached my desk , a manila folder in her manicured hands . ||| 1/3 Chapter 44 The Trap at M " Olivia , " she said with a professional smile , " do you have a moment ?

" I nodded , setting aside the brief I'd been reviewing . " Of course , Ms. Phillips ." She placed the folder before me , her expression encouraging . " Usually negotiating cases is the business department's work , but you know , being a lawyer requires negotiation skills . It's better if lawyers can secure cases themselves . I have a potential client for you to meet . " Opening the folder , I scanned the documents inside .

This was exactly the kind of opportunity I'd lacked at my previous position in Harbor City , where I'd struggled as an outsider with no connections . " This could be valuable experience , " I murmured , genuinely interested . Heather's smile widened . " If you land this client , I'll give you a 20 % commission , stacked on top of your usual legal fees . " The money didn't particularly interest me - my focus was on building my professional reputation . Still , the gesture was appreciated .

" Okay , Ms. Phillips ," I replied , closing the folder . " I'll handle it . " She patted my shoulder kindly . " The meeting is set for 7 p.m. , Moonlight Club . I'll have Kenneth Westfield accompany you . Sorry for the overtime . " I nodded without hesitation . " That's fine . I appreciate the opportunity . " As Heather walked away , I checked my watch . Just enough time to prepare . The office had emptied considerably by 6:30 when I approached Kenneth Westfield's desk .

He was still there , packing his briefcase with exaggerated movements . " Kenneth ," I began politely , " shall we discuss transportation to Moonlight Club ? " He looked up , his gaze immediately filling with undisguised contempt . " Why don't you have your boyfriend bring over his luxury SUV to show off ? " I stiffened . Yesterday , Kenneth had seen me step out of Connor's vehicle at Harbor City Memorial Hospital , and apparently , he'd been nursing his jealousy ever since .

" It's too late to have him bring the car , " I replied evenly . " I'll just take a cab . " My Glacier Blue Bentley Continental GT was still parked at the Winters Family Estate . O 2/3 Chapter 44 : The Trap at M …. +15 Points > Connor had driven me home yesterday after our visit to Dorothy Jenkins , and I hadn't had a chance to retrieve it . Kenneth's lips curled into a sneer . " Can't bear to part with that luxury ride ? Unlike us ordinary folks , who'd never sit in a Rivers family vehicle .

Oh right , I guess my Porsche Macan just isn't good enough compared to your big shot's SUV . " His petty jealousy was becoming tiresome . I felt my patience wearing thin . " Have I ever offended you ? " I asked directly . " Why are you so bitter ? Did I buy that car with your money ? " He scoffed , adjusting his tie with an aggressive tug . " As if I could afford it .' Something in me snapped . " Instead of being so envious and bitter , why don't you work harder yourself ?

Why be such a sore loser ? " My words struck a nerve . Kenneth's face darkened with rage , and he leaned forward , his voice dropping to a venomous hiss . " Yeah , I'm jealous I'm not a woman . Unlike you , who can just spread her legs and hook a rich man . " Heat rushed to my face , not from embarrassment but from pure fury . " You're a lawyer -you should know slander is illegal . Clean up your mouth , or I won't hesitate to drag you to court myself . " Comments Watch Ads ( 0/20 ) > O
