Chapter 514: Fired
Even as she lost hope, Olivia could not wrap her mind around the fact that Emma and Offficer Davis were in cahoots. How was this possible? She’d guessed from the lady’s attitude that she did not like Seb. But would she be so ruthless as to help Emma do something like this? Why?
Detective Davis seemed to understand her unasked question. She grinned and even as she continued to keep the gun pointed at her with one hand while the other caressed Emma’s head, she spoke," You thought you could outsmart us, didn’t you, Mrs. Frost? But you underestimated us. You see, Emma is not alone in her quest for revenge against Sebastian. I have a beef with him too."
Olivia’s heart pounded in her chest as she struggled to maintain her composure. She couldn’t afford to show weakness, not now. "Why?" she managed to choke out, her voice trembling with fear and anger. As long as she was alive, she had a chance to escape and her children a chance to escape. She would find a way. She was so close to the door as it is.
"Because Emma was my best friend. The girl I had always loved. I was the one who convinced her to go to that seminar you know. I watched her fall in love with Sebastian and offer her heart to him. I know she was in the wrong when Seb did not accept it. But did he have to be so cruel about it? I kept an eye on him after that. And I saw, how he was cold to every woman he dated. But you, you my friend are different."
"The two of us want Seb to suffer the same way he has made us suffer. And you, my dear, are the perfect leverage."
But even as these words sank into her heart with a chill, Emma’s voice echoed in the small room," This is going great. Even better than we imagined. He thought he could have it all, didn’t he, Olivia? A loving wife, a beautiful family, a baby on the way. But now, it’s all slipping through his fingers."

Seb jumped out of the car to race into the house but skidded to a stop as he noticed the police car sitting in the driveway. Demetri frowned when he noticed the car as well.
"Is the police investigating inside already?"
But Seb shook his head and gestured for Demetri to be quiet and pointed a bit further down the road.
As they slinked away, Demetri asked in a hushed tone," You think the detective is involved with this Emma woman?"
