Chapter 73: Want to Watch This Self-Made Trap Unfold?

No one noticed the look of shock on Benedict’s face when Olivia made her remark just after he’d finished his call to the police. How does she know?

James tried to stand, but Olivia grabbed a fistful of his hair and slammed his head hard against the ground. “Admit that I’m your superior.” “F*ck you, Olivia!” James roared.

Olivia didn’t hold back. She slammed his head into the ground three more times. The force was so strong that James’s head started bleeding, leaving him trembling in pain. “Do you admit it or not?”

Hudson, watching Olivia’s brutal methods for the first time, was momentarily stunned. “Ms. Carter… Is she always like this?” Lucas waved a hand nonchalantly. “This is nothing. She hasn’t even broken his fingers or smashed a bottle over his head. She’s being merciful.” Hudson was speechless. Meanwhile, Alice’s eyes sparkled with admiration. Missy is so cool!

James struggled to get up, but the pain in his head left him drenched in cold sweat. Olivia showed no intention of letting go. “I’ll do it! I’ll admit it!” James finally shouted, unable to endure it any longer.

Olivia released him, looking down at James, who was kneeling on the ground, his face covered in blood. Everyone’s gaze was on James, and he could feel their eyes stabbing into him like needles. “You’re stronger than me…” he muttered reluctantly.

“What was that? The wind’s too loud, I couldn’t hear you,” Olivia said, arms crossed, watching him with smug amusement. James clenched his fists so hard they almost bled. “You’re the strongest!” “Get lost. You’re not even worthy to talk to me,” Olivia sneered.

Damn it, Olivia. I swear I’ll destroy you!

Suddenly, the sound of sirens broke through the air. Several police cars pulled up to the scene.

“There’s been a reported accident on the mountain. Someone has accused you of illegal racing and possessing contraband,” one of the officers announced to the group. The crowd was stunned. An accident? There hadn’t been one during the race.

Olivia glanced at the approaching officers and immediately realized it was Benedict’s doing. The “accident” didn’t have to happen during the race—just being on Mt. Hevana was enough to implicate everyone. “As per protocol, we need to search all of you and your vehicles,” the officer continued.

The racers exchanged confused glances. The sudden police arrival felt bizarre, but they had no choice but to comply. Benjamin recalled Olivia’s earlier comment about the police showing up. “How did you know they’d come?”

Olivia looked at him. He still didn’t understand. “I found a little something in your car earlier.” “What?” Benjamin froze. When he connected the mention of contraband to what the police had just said, a sinking feeling overtook him.

Lucas was even more alarmed. “Oh my God! Why didn’t you tell us sooner? Where is it? Get rid of it now!” Olivia rolled her eyes. “You should really get your brain checked. The police are already here. Are you planning to confess or incriminate yourself?” Lucas was left speechless.

“By now, you should know who planted that in your car,” Olivia said, turning to Benjamin. Benjamin frowned, his thoughts racing. The only person who’d had the chance to tamper with his car was Benedict.

“So what now? Do we just stand here and wait to get caught? Should we make a run for it?” Lucas asked nervously, clearly worried for Benjamin. Olivia laughed. “Run? No need. Just stay and enjoy the show.” “The show?”

Olivia’s gaze shifted to Benedict, who was being questioned while the police searched his car.

“Want to watch him get tangled in his own trap?”
