Chapter 527
Tears fell from Sylvia's face. "I know, Miss Maxwell, but please… I beg you."
With a chilling tone, Olivia replied, "Give me a reason to listen to you!"
Sylvia's tears kept running down her face as Sylvia stood in silence for a while before finally saying, "My sister and I
lost our parents when we were very young. The two of us relied on each other growing up and had a very good
relationship. However, I had a fight with my sister three years ago, and I ran out of the house in a fit of anger. My
sister was involved in a car accident as she came running after me, and passed away from that very accident. I felt
regret over what had happened and blamed myself for her death. I had even blamed God for not taking me along
with my sister."
"But one day, I saw Summer appearing on TV. She looked exactly like my sister, and even her name bore similarity
to my sister's name—Sunny. Summer's appearance drew me in. It felt like she was sent to take my sister's place,
which was why I had spent all my efforts to be by Summer's side. I know that she isn't really my sister, but I had

out that she had used me to get to the two of you, I couldn't bear for her to be implicated in this matter. That's why,
Miss Maxwell, please just accept me as the culprit for this matter! I beg you!"
Listening to Sylvia's story, Olivia could only sigh in silence. She became softhearted at the sight of this crying little
girl in front of her.
"Summer should feel privileged to have a kind sister like you!"
Sylvia sobbed, "Miss Maxwell, I know that you are a good-natured person. I'm willing to apologize to Mr. Landon and
Mr. Gabel. If that is not enough, then you can hand me over to the police!"
Without any other choice, Olivia made eye contact with Jewel before replying to Sylvia, "You're really a foolish girl!"
She then helped Sylvia off the ground. "Fine, leave everything to me!"
With teary eyes, Sylvia asked, "Miss Maxwell, does that mean you'll agree to my request?"
Olivia replied, "I ask that you stay out over what happens next." Olivia then gave some sort of gesture to Jewel
before the two of them left the area.
…
Summer was pacing back and forth in her room. The longer time passed, the more fear grew inside her. She didn't
know what Sylvia was going to tell Olivia, and was wondering why there were no movements from the crew even
after much time had passed.
Will they call for the police? Should I call John for help if they did? Now that it has come to this, even John won't
choose to abandon me, right?
As Summer was drowning in doubt, unsure of what to do, the door to her room was flung open. Due to her guilty
conscience, she was scared like a thief being caught. She then immediately turned toward the door to find Olivia
and Jewel's faces, and unconsciously took a step back. "W-What do you think you're doing?"
Olivia didn't bother replying to her question and slammed the door with the heel of her foot. With her gaze as cold
as ice, she stared at Summer. "Feeling guilty?"
This time, Summer had managed to overcome the shock and managed to stay calm. She thought to herself that
even if Sylvia had reported to them that she had left the drinks unattended in her room, as long as Summer stood
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher ground and denied adding the laxatives, there was nothing that anyone could do. After all, no one had
witnessed the moment she added the laxatives.
"Olivia, you can't just rely on Sylvia's words and assume I was the culprit. It's true that she had left the drinks inside
here, but I did not add anything to them. She only wants to get back at me, so she planted that idea in your head!"
Olivia and Jewel looked at each other before Olivia sneered at Summer, "How heartbroken Sylvia would be if she
should hear what you just said."
As Summer did not understand what Olivia was saying, she could only stare blankly at Olivia.
Shaking her head in slight frustration, Olivia pitied Sylvia and thought that it was not worth it for Sylvia to take the
fall for Summer.
"While you were busy trying to shift the blame to others, that little assistant of yours had come forward herself and
admitted that she was the culprit. I really don't get it. With all the abuse you've inflicted on her, why would Sylvia
choose to willingly accept the fall for you even after you set her up as your scapegoat? At first, I thought that you'd
made some kind of deal with her. However, the reason she gave me was that you looked like her sister. She's been
treating you as though you're her blood sister from the start. What about you? You've shifted the blame to her,
saying that she wants to get back at you! Summer, how much lower will you go as a human being?"
