Chapter 286 Settling Scores
Mrs. Hans smiled happily when she heard what Olivia said. “My daughter has matured.”
“Of course | have, especially after going through so much,” Olivia said smugly as she twirled a lock of hair around her finger. “I
even found out that Mr. York has been a germaphobe since he was a child, and is a clean freak! A woman like Mnie, with a
lawsuit on her hands, is definitely someone so filthy to him that he wouldn’t even nce her way! He''ll find her dirty!”
Mrs. Hans’s eyes narrowed. “In that case, | need to pay a little more to cover up your records.”
The mention of her being jailed overseas made Olivia grit her teeth in anger and shame.
“It''s all Mnie’s fault! She’s always the reason why | get humiliated! Mom, don’t you worry. This time. I’m fully prepared to settle
all scores with her once and for all!”
“We''ll wait for your good news, then,” Mrs. Hans said, feeling assured with her daughter at the helm of things.
On Saturday night, Mnie told the driver to send her to the banquet. When she got out of the car, she
immediately spotted Mr. Smith despite his bucket hat that covered half his face.
“Mr. Smith?”
Mr. Smith heard her voice and turned back, the sharp look in his eyes turning gentle upon noticing her. “What brings you here?”
“I''m here to attend the banquet. What about you?” Mnie asked.
“I''m staying upstairs,” Mr. Smith said as he pointed to the guest room upstairs in the hotel.
“| heard the results of that photographypetition you participated in will be out soon?” Mnie asked with
concern.
“Yes. I’m very confident about the photos | took of Mr. Lindsey and you,” Mr. Smith said with a smile. “I''ll treat you to a meal when
| receive the good news.”
He looked around, his eyes shing.
“| have something to attend to and need to run, I''ll call you.”
He turned to go, looking as if he had something urgent to do.
Mnie didn’t think much of it. She smoothed out her gown and walked up the stairs. The moment she entered the banquet, she
spotted Olivia.
This time round, Olivia’s gown was clearly the work of a famous designer. It looked elegant yet not over the top, which was rare
of Olivia. Her essories and hairstyle were clearly done by a professional stylist. She had clearlye prepared.
The strange thing was, she was standing all by herself in a corner. She had ignored all the outstanding male

Mnie found it suspicious, and made a mental note of it. She continued keeping an eye on Olivia even as she engaged in small
talk with other industry yers.
True to her expectations, she saw Olivia secretly talking to a service crew at the banquet, who handed something small to Olivia.
They even looked up at the stage at the same time.
When Olivia left the banquet hall to go to the washroom, Mnie deliberately walked to where Olivia was standing and looked up
at the stage. That was when she saw an LED screen hidden overhead.
An idea hit her as she walked backstage. She saw some crew members scuttling around, and asked, “Is everything going well?”
One of the crew members thought that this well-dressed woman talking to him was in the same team, and replied, “I’ve checked
the big screen. Nothing will go wrong with the news you''ll be presentingter.”
“Don''t worry, miss. Your subordinate came by earlier to test-run the news report. Theputer is working
well, too,” another crew member chimed in.

Mnie blinked, but thanked them with a smile before leaving.
She walked slowly so that she could eavesdrop on the conversation between the crew members.
“All the higher—ups really are multilingual elites. That news clip was in a foreignnguage. | didn’t understand a single second of
it.”
“| could only understand the picture in it. It’s that woman who was nabbed by the foreign police, right?”
Mnie’s eyes widened with rm. She immediately pulled out her phone to call Annie to tell her that she
saw Olivia at the banquet. Annie immediately became wary.
“Is she trying to cause you trouble again?” Annie said.
“I''m afraid you''ve got it right.” Mnie went on decisively, “Help me check out foreign websites on news regarding the Angles‘
centennial celebration and the death of Charles Miller. See if you can find anything wrong in them.”
Annie’s private investigator was swift, and Annie had an answer for Mnie in no time.
“All the news reports stopped at stating you as the number one suspect. All subsequent news reports seem to
have disappeared.”
“Well, | know what she’s nning now.” Mnie’s eyes narrowed. “Is it difficult to dig up all the vanished
reports?”
“Nothing‘ too difficult for your sake,” Annie assured. “Don’t worry. I’ll ask my team to dig up the reports.”
“No rush. Wait for my cue before doing so.” Mnie took a deep breath, and went on, “I need your help to dig up more aged
foreign news. It’s best if you can put them together in a coge disyed on a single page.” “What news are you referring to?”
