“Julian is now acting contrite, impossible to get rid of. Even with the evidence, he might not cooperate. I’m not sure I can win in court. So… I need help.”
Sherry understood. Oh my god! She was going to use Rita against Julian? This is insane!
“Are you sure about this?”
Olivia:“Xiaxia, the Crowe family has the resources to get Rita completely out of this, it’s just a matter of time. Let’s take advantage of their settlement offer. Also, let Rita know that Julian wants to reconcile, that he refuses a divorce. She’ll go crazy, the Crowe family will pressure him to marry her, and then he’ll have to divorce me.”
Sherry was speechless. You guys are all completely crazy.

Olivia felt a surge of schadenfreude. While she was thinking about the factory matter, Zach said, “Ms. Frost, we’ll return to Chicago tomorrow.”
Olivia knew the factory matter was resolved. Finally, she could ask, “Did Derek confess?”
Zach laughed. “How did you know?”
Olivia: “I guessed.” She analyzed Zoey’s unusual behavior, deducing that Derek was the scapegoat, and Zoey was the mastermind.
After she finished, Evan frowned.“Ms. Frost, don’t underestimate yourself. If you disappeared, I would have been very worried.”
Olivia was stunned.
