The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 1073

Rebecca's nerves were on edge. She had no idea what Olivia might say next.

Fortunately, Olivia didn't press the matter.

"It's fine, Rebecca," she said. "It was just a passing thought. Since you don't have anything to say, could you do me a favor?"

Rebecca exhaled in relief. She had no desire to get tangled up with Olivia. All she wanted was for Olivia to take the fall.

Feigning sincerity, she replied, "Come on, Olivia. We're best friends. Just tell me what you need. If it's something I can do, I'll do it to the best of my ability!"

Olivia clutched Rebecca's hand. "You know what happened to Hailey and her baby. The fact that the poison came from the chicken noodle soup I prepared has only made things worse. Because of this, Mr. Pilsner had his men come for me. They're planning to take me away."

Rebecca's mind raced. At the hospital, she had clearly seen Jonah order his men to capture Olivia. Yet here she was, standing at Rebecca's door.

"So, did you manage to get away after Mr. Pilsner's men seized you?" Rebecca asked.

Olivia nodded. "Yes. I told them I was going to the bathroom, and when no one was looking, I jumped out the window. By now, Mr. Pilsner must have realized I'm gone. His men are probably already looking for me! I can't be caught. I'm completely innocent. Rebecca, do you believe me?"

"Of course I believe you, Olivia," Rebecca replied. "You and Hailey were the best of friends. There's no way you would ever hurt her."

"Thank you for trusting me. Right now, you're the only one I can count on. Will you lend me a hand?"

"How exactly do you want me to help?"

"I have to get out of here before Mr. Pilsner catches me! Once I've lain low and this blows over, I'll come back. I'll find out who the real culprit is!"

A cold glint shone in Rebecca's eyes. There was no way she would let Olivia escape.

She couldn't believe Olivia had been foolish enough to come to her for help. Did she not realize she was stepping straight into a trap?

"I can't possibly get on a plane right now. Can you arrange a ferry ticket for me? I need to leave as soon as possible!" Olivia pleaded.

"A ferry ticket?" Rebecca asked.

Olivia nodded. "Yes! The sooner I leave, the safer it'll be. Rebecca, can you take care of this for me?"

Rebecca nodded. "Yes! I reached out to someone I know. His name is Vincent. Fortunately, he managed to pull some strings and secure a ticket at a hefty price. You can leave right away!"

Olivia threw her arms around Rebecca. "Thank you so much! You really are my best friend!"

"Let's head to the dock immediately. Your safety comes first. You need to get out of here as quickly as you can!" Rebecca urged.

Olivia nodded. "Okay, let's go."

"I'll accompany you," Rebecca said.

"Alright."

With that, the two of them stepped out of the apartment and onto the street. Even while they moved, Rebecca couldn't stop thinking about how to pass the news to Jonah.

There was no way she could call him herself; any sign of her involvement might make him suspicious. She needed to stay entirely in the clear.
