Chatper 1378

As much as she had loved Krystal, Tatiana was brimming with resentment because Krystal was the

cause of Molly's near-death incident.

To think that Krystal, the fake Ms. Heath, was dreaming to be the real one. Ridiculous.

Even after Krystal was taken to the hospital, the sheer sight of the room infuriated Tatiana.

"Clear out this room. Sell the jewelry and bags if possible and burn the others. They're bad omen," she

ordered the butler.novelbin

"Yes, Mrs. Heath."

"Olivia, I'm terribly sorry for waking you up at this late hour." Tatiana had softened her edges toward

Olivia after the series of incidents.

"Don't mind it. This is my duty." Olivia rubbed her eyes, returning to her room to get back to sleep.

Morning came. While the ladies were having breakfast, they received a piece of news. Comment by

samantha tay: RAW only stated Olivia and Molly, but there's Tatiana in the later conversation. so I put

'ladies'.

"Mrs. Heath, something came up. Krystal escaped!" the bodyguard reported.

"How come?" Tatiana set her cutleries down.

"She did undergo a few examinations. But there was an influx of patients in the ER because a bus

toppled over at dawn. She seized the chance to run away during the chaos."

Speculation flashed across Olivia's mind. "I think I know what's going on. Krystal stabbed Lisa on

purpose."

"What? Why would she do that?"

"We've fallen for Lisa's trap. She knew that nothing could be done to turn the tables.

"The only thing she could do is to protect her daughter. That was why Krystal played the victim and

escaped.

"Since Lisa was hurt, we couldn't call the cops, and she managed to buy Krystal some time. If my

guess is right, Lisa has escaped, too."

Tatiana looked at the bodyguard. "Keep Lisa under strict surveillance. If everything goes smoothly, we

can proceed with the legal procedures right away."

"Alright, Mrs. Heath." The bodyguard left in haste.

But he returned within a few minutes. "Mrs. Heath, Lisa has vanished as well."

It was as Olivia expected.

"Darn it!" Tatiana slammed the table and stood. "How dare she set me up!"

"Grandma, I'm afraid Lisa has long thought of a Plan B. She has worked at the Heath residence for

many years.

"There must be a few people on her side. It's not that difficult to update her now and then.

"Although Krystal didn't know that Lisa was her biological mother back then, Krystal would do as she

was told to free herself."

Olivia continued, "But there's nothing much to worry about. As long as we freeze their cards and seal

the routes, they wouldn't dare to leave through any means.

"Unless they can live like the rodents in the gutter, where they can use the money they have. Lisa could

do it, but maybe not Krystal."

"You're right. Krystal's a spoiled child. Old habits die hard. It won't be easy to live a frugal life after a

luxurious one. Let's see how long she can hide herself."

Tatiana contacted Linus to freeze every account the Walkers own.

Meanwhile, Olivia reminded Molly, "Don't leave the house for the time being, just in case. If I was

Krystal, I would definitely put you as my first target.

"She hates you for stealing everything away from her. Now that she's run to a dead end, she's going to

drag you down for sure."

Molly gave a meek nod. " Got it. I'll stay here and not go anywhere."

An easy mission for her, considering that she was used to a quiet life.

"I've underestimated Lisa."

"Grandma, she was the one who switched the babies. That's not something any person could do.

"Krystal is her biggest weakness. Once we freeze their account and seal the routes, she'd show

herself.

"But you should definitely eliminate the moles under this roof. Otherwise, someone might reveal our

moves to Lisa."

Tatiana nodded. "I'm glad you're here, Olivia."

Krystal was the reason why Tatiana hated Olivia in the beginning, but Olivia gradually impressed

Tatiana with charm.

As much as her faith grew in Olivia, Tatiana started to take a liking to Olivia.
