Samuel led a dozen bodyguards as they stormed towards Olivia and Jonathan's residence.
Chad and Sally followed with smiles on their faces.
Naturally, this scene caught the attention of other members of the Harrison family. Quickly, with Chad and Sally's intention, news of Jonathan using Olivia to embezzle company funds spread throughout the entire Harrison family.
Not only within the family, but even the company was abuzz with the news. From top executives to regular employees, everyone knew about it!
"No way! Olivia embezzled company funds to buy Jonathan a car worth over 80,000 dollars?"
"Not surprising. I thought that Olivia was a slut from the day she joined the company, definitely not a good person!"
"It's only been a few days, and she dares to embezzle so much money? She must have been deceived by Jonathan!"
For a while, the entire Harrison family was buzzing with gossip.
Sophia, upon hearing the news, laughed heartily and hurried to tell Declan, "Dad, have you heard? Olivia embezzled company funds to buy Jonathan a car worth over 80,000 dollars. Now, grandpa is going to confront them!"
Declan put down his newspaper, his face full of excitement. "Really? That's excellent! I was just worried about not having anything on them! Quick, let's go and see! This time we must get rid of that b***h and that loser from the Harrison family!"
Soon, the Harrison family trio also rushed to Olivia and Jonathan's residence.
Meanwhile, Olivia knelt on the ground outside the house. Samuel sat in front of her, his cane striking the ground heavily as he scolded coldly, "Olivia! Explain to me what's going on with that car outside! If you dare hide anything, I'll enforce family law and beat you to death today!"
Olivia's eyes were red, with tears brimming but not falling, and there were clear slap marks on her face, indicating she had been hit hard. She took a deep breath and said firmly, "Grandpa, that car was bought by Jonathan."
"Still not talking? Jonathan is a useless, retired soldier! Where would he get the money to buy such an expensive car! Tell me, did he instruct you, or did you both embezzle company funds to buy it? If you admit it was his plan, I might spare you. If not, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Samuel said, striking his cane even harder.
Sally chimed in, "You, just be honest! What's the use of protecting that loser? If he really did nothing wrong, where is he now? He must have run away!"
Chad coldly added, "Olivia, you better think carefully! This is no joke. Embezzling company funds can land you in jail! Think about yourself and Ruby! You'd better tell Grandpa the truth. If you say it was all Jonathan's idea, you might get off lightly as an accomplice. The Harrison family might forgive you since you were deceived!"
At this moment, Declan and his family rushed over as well. Upon seeing Olivia kneeling on the ground, their attitudes became even more aggressive. Sophia couldn't wait to run over, grabbing Olivia's hair and shouting, "You, I can't believe you dared to embezzle company funds in just a few days! I'm going to beat you to death!"
Olivia cried out in pain, her body collapsing to the ground, her face contorted with agony.
"No, Grandpa, I didn't embezzle any company funds. Jonathan said he bought the car himself. He didn't instruct me to do anything against the Harrison family. Please believe me, Grandpa, I really didn't do anything." Olivia defended.
But faced with the accusations from the Harrison family, she felt like she was falling into an abyss, powerless. No matter how much she explained, no one was willing to listen, insisting she had embezzled the family's funds.
"Mommy..." At this moment, Ruby, dressed in pajamas, rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out of the bedroom, likely woken up by the noise.
Seeing her mother kneeling on the ground, being scolded by everyone, little Ruby immediately ran over, throwing herself into Olivia's arms. Then, standing in front of Olivia with her small body, she shouted at Samuel, "Don't hurt my mommy! You're a bad person! All of you are bad people! Don't bully my mommy!"
"Ruby!" Olivia held Ruby in her arms, the mother and daughter hugging tightly. Olivia's eyes filled with worry, fearing the Harrison family might harm Ruby!
Ruby clung to her mother, wrapping her small arms around Olivia. "Mommy, don't cry. Daddy said he would protect Ruby and Mommy. He'll be back soon!"
"Little girl! Are you dreaming? Do you think your useless dad can protect you? Where is he now? He's probably already run away in fear!" Maeve sneered.
"No! Daddy won't leave Ruby and Mommy! Daddy promised Ruby, he'll come back, he will!"
Ruby broke free from Olivia's embrace and ran towards Maeve, using her small hands to push Maeve with all her strength. Caught off guard, Maeve stumbled back, falling to the ground.
"You little brat! Just like that lunatic Jonathan! I'll beat you to death today!" Maeve, furious, got up and slapped Ruby hard across the face.
