Rebirth of a Runaway Actress: Career First, Love Second

Chapter 231: You Sure Are Obsessed With Me

All of the NPCs rushed to Olivia’s location. They immediately noticed she had no intention of fleeing. She sat calmly under a tree, a pile of gold in her embrace. Even faced with a couple dozen NPCs, Olivia remained as cool as a cucumber.

“Maybe you guys should help him down first?” Olivia raised her hand, pointing upwards at Harry, who dangled from the tree, his eyes rolled back in fright.

No one dared to say anything. “This woman,” someone muttered, “she’s just bloody ruthless!”

They all hurriedly worked together and helped Harry down. It was beyond everyone’s expectations that such a tall, burly man would immediately burst into tears and embrace the nearest person as soon as his feet touched the ground.

“My God, that was scary as hell! I quit! This job is totally not worth it!” he cried. He had worked with them for two episodes, each time forced to scale frightening heights. “I just want to go home already! I miss my mom!”

“It’s really all a coincidence,” Olivia said, looking at the tearful Harry, “I really wasn’t expecting it to be you again.”

Still teary-eyed, Harry shot an irritable, child-like glare at Olivia. He was the perfect example of a simpleton.

“There, there,” Olivia said sweetly, comforting him, “I promise you won’t have to experience such heights again.”

“Swear on it!” Harry said through his sniffles.

“Okay, I swear.”

Harry was still upset and wouldn’t stop sobbing. The other NPCs watched on speechlessly.

After rescuing Harry, the NPCs decided to leave the scene. Noticing they were about to leave, Olivia immediately spoke up, “You’re all leaving?”

“You don’t say?” one of the NPCs replied.

“Shouldn’t you be capturing and locking me up?” Olivia replied with a smile.

The NPCs paused, then someone shouted, “Stop fooling around with us!”

“Let’s just go,” a third voice sounded, “no point wasting time here.”

Amused, Olivia tried hard to keep a straight face as she watched the NPCs turn to leave.

“All of my magic tools are now in Eugene’s hands,” she called out, “you sure you don’t want to capture me?”

The NPCs stopped in their tracks the moment they heard Olivia’s words. The crowd, fooled countless times by Olivia, turned to look at her suspiciously.

“All of your magic tools?” someone asked.

Olivia simply nodded. However, they were still reluctant to believe her. “This woman’s a mischief-maker, right to her core!” someone whispered. “She can’t be trusted! This must be another one of her tricks! Why aren’t you running then?”

Olivia shot a glance at the pile of gold in her arms. “These are seriously heavy,” she said, “how am I supposed to run?”

The crowd thought for a moment. “That does make sense!” one of them agreed. “No, be, she’s still a lady; how can she possibly run around freely while carrying more than a hundred blocks of gold?”

Harry, still beside Olivia, looked at her with disbelief. Didn’t she show off her brute strength in the last episode?

The NPCs who didn’t know the truth about Olivia believed her words without a doubt. A youngster took a careful step forward and grabbed Olivia’s sleeve. Olivia simply smiled at him. The youngster widened his eyes in surprise. Nothing happened.

“I caught Olivia!” he cheered, as if he had just captured the leader of the enemy. The others, still standing around blankly, immediately came back to their senses.

“Huh? Seriously? She’s really captured?”

“Finally, I can rest in peace!” someone exclaimed.

“This calls for a celebration! Hurry, let’s lock her up!”

It all happened too suddenly; the youngsters were nearly shedding tears of joy! The crowd swarmed around Olivia, escorting her all the way to the cell. It was as if a celebration was about to break out; all they lacked were the celebratory props.

Franklin was closely studying a map, figuring out where his gold had been sent, in order to come up with a plan to get it back. Suddenly, he caught sight of Olivia being escorted and locked into the cell beside his.

As Olivia was shoved into the cell, Franklin felt a sense of satisfaction sweep over him.

“Well, well, well,” he said. “What a surprise to see that you’ve been captured too.” The tables have finally turned on her!

Olivia simply shot a sideways glance at him. “You sure are obsessed with me, huh? Do I remind you of your mother or something?”

Olivia’s words cut deep, leaving Franklin completely speechless. “God damn it!” he muttered. “Somebody shut this vile woman’s mouth up!”
