Chapter 121

Olivia's face turned anxious when she heard this, and she shifted uncomfortably in her seat.

It was clear that any drowsiness she had was now gone.

Robert and Zoey exchanged a glance, understanding each other without words.

They quietly observed her expression.

If it were someone with strong mental fortitude, someone who grew up in a big city, it might be hard to get them to reveal the truth with just a few words. They wouldn't believe Robert's words.

But Olivia was different. She had never seen much of the world, barely even watched TV, and spent most of her time on household chores.

She was just an inexperienced country girl.

Olivia's eyes were filled with deep sorrow as she slowly began to speak, "I... I'll tell you everything..."

After thinking for a moment, she asked with a sob in her voice, "Sir, will I be executed?"

Robert didn't understand why she would ask such a question. Haven had committed suicide. Why would she be executed?

But he remained calm on the surface, "It depends on whether what you tell us is true and if it helps with our investigation."

Olivia nodded, understanding somewhat. She looked down for a second, then asked, "I don't know where to start..."

Robert felt a bit of pity for this naive country girl and gently prompted, "Start with the phone."

"Okay." Olivia seemed to be organizing her thoughts. She began timidly, "I found this phone when I married Hugh. I had asked Hugh to buy me a phone before, but Ava and Hugh scolded me. They were afraid I would use the phone to flirt with people. No matter how much I explained that I wouldn't, they didn't believe me and said awful things. I just saw that many people in the village had one, but I had nothing."

"Even Evan had one. Ava told me that when I got older and had a child for the family, they would buy me one. She said it so firmly that I didn't dare bring it up again. Every time I did, they would scold me terribly."

"I just wanted a phone, but they insult me like that. One day, I found this phone by accident and played with it when they weren't around. I didn't even know how to turn it on and spent a long time figuring it out. Later, I watched how Hugh used it and learned how to charge it."

Robert listened intently for a while, realizing she was rambling.

He couldn't take it anymore and knocked on the table to interrupt her, "Get to the point."

Olivia nodded, "I found a video on the phone while messing around with it. You must have seen it already."

"Yes."

Olivia's face showed fear as she thought about Haven's video.

"At first, I was puzzled why I hadn't gotten pregnant after all these years. After watching the video, I realized it wasn't my fault. I tried to convince Hugh to go to the hospital with me for a check-up, but he refused and scolded me. He had already been through several wives who couldn't have children, yet he still blamed others. Initially, I thought Haven's words were unbelievable, but one day, I overheard Hugh's parents talking..."

"From the day I married in, they planned to treat me like they did Haven. Haven's suicide made them hesitate. Ava said Haven wanted to die, and no one could stop her, but they had to think about the next generation. Hugh's father said that when he returned from his trip, he would rape me." Olivia's hands clenched tightly as she spoke.

She exhaled deeply, "I was really scared of becoming the next Haven. While Hugh's father was away, I tried my best to please Hugh and Ava, hoping they wouldn't treat me like that."

"One time, I overheard Ava talking to Hugh's father on the phone, asking about me. I realized they are still heartless and still planned to treat me like Haven."

Olivia's eyes filled with hatred, "Maybe Hugh's first wife went through the same thing."

Zoey raised an eyebrow, clearly tired of hearing her ramble.

She bluntly asked, "What does this have to do with the murder?"

"I didn't kill anyone." Olivia stood up, agitated, "I really didn't kill anyone! I just wanted to frame Hugh as a rapist to get him sent to prison. If he was in prison, Hugh's father wouldn't treat me like that."

Robert quickly caught the inconsistency in her story and asked, "How did you frame him? What preparations did you make? Tell us."

Olivia looked at the calm police officers in front of her, and her emotions gradually settled, "I didn't kill anyone... I really didn't."

"Did you find the bodies already dead that night?"

"Yes! They were already dead!" Olivia looked up, tears in her eyes, "I was so scared, but I didn't kill them!"

Zoey, seeing her so agitated, thought she didn't seem like she was lying, and continued, "Tell us about finding the bodies."

"Okay," Olivia said, "Evan often sneaks out to play, and Ava doesn't know. I didn't know at first either. But one day, when I was cleaning his room, I caught him sneaking out. When he saw me, he made a 'shh' gesture, asking me not to alert Ava, or she wouldn't let him go catch aliens."

"I kept trying to stop Evan, but he insisted on going. I was afraid something would happen, so I tried to keep an eye on him. But as soon as I turned my back, he ran off. When he came back that night, he told me he found aliens! I asked him what aliens were, and he took me to the church. I thought it was just some ordinary thing, but I saw three people hanging from the church rafters. I was scared to the extreme!"

"I sat on the ground for a long time before I could react. I thought Evan had hung them up as a prank. I was afraid something would happen, so I told Evan to take them down immediately. I called their names, but there was no response. That's when I realized that they were dead, all of them were dead bodies in front of me."
