Olivia realized too late that she’d fallen in the trap that Rachel had so cleverly laid out for her. She hadn’t even seen it coming.

Her face blanched of color, making her look as though she was going to pass out at any given second. She fell to her knees in front of Victor, whimpering as she said, “Mr. Sullivan, I didn’t…”
“Have you finished with your questions?” Victor asked Rachel, totally ignoring Olivia’s feeble words.
“I have,” Rachel said and tilted her head in question. It was strange that Victor would ask that.
Victor ignored her look and left the room. She could hear him climbing the stairs to the next floor. Rachel stared down at Olivia in confusion, while Olivia had her eyes fixed on the floor.
Olivia was the first one to come back to her senses. She shook her head, and a slow, victorious smile started spreading over her face.
She was just about to get to her feet when two men dressed in black marched into the living room. They grabbed her by the shoulders and forced her back down to the ground.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Olivia cried, trying to struggle against their firm grips.
Ivan walked up to Rachel and stood calmly at her side. He held out an assortment of documents to her, then nodded and said, “Miss Bennet, these are the details to Olivia’s bank account. Since becoming the head housekeeper, she has embezzled 50, @0@ dollars from its daily earnings. The money is now yours, you are free to do with it as you will. Mr. Sullivan also asked me to tell you that you may punish Olivia as you see fit. You have been granted full permission to do whatever you want to her.”
Rachel listened to Ivan, then looked down at the papers he was holding out her. She wasn’t stupid, she knew what Victor was playing at.

He already knew all the awful things Olivia had done. He’d been waiting for a chance to get rid of her; and that chance had come in the form of Rachel. He would be blameless in this sense, and all the weight of guilt and responsibility would be on Rachel.
Rachel’s mouth twitched in irritation. Victor really was a profiteer.
Olivia burst into tears as reality finally came crashing down on her.
Victor had seen through her lies and tricks long ago, and it had just been a matter of time before she was punished. She turned to Rachel and knelt in front of her. She could barely speak through her sobs as she begged, “Miss Bennet, please. Please, let me go. I’m sorry. I’m sorry for everything. I’ll do whatever you say. Just tell me what you want me to do and I’ll do it. Please don’t report me for embezzlement. I have children and parents to support. My grandmother… She’s at home, relying on me-“
“Who said I was going to report you?” Rachel cut into her pitiful tirade. She didn’t look at Olivia. She turned to the bodyguards and said, “Throw her out of the Sue Garden. I don’t want to see her here again. Starting now, she is forbidden from setting foot on the property!”
While she was speaking, Rachel opened her hand and dropped something on the floor. No one noticed it; only Olivia.
Olivia’s eyes widened and she grabbed the item without anyone seeing.
Then she kowtowed to Rachel, pressing her hands and forehead flat on the ground.
“Miss Bennet… Thank you, thank you so much…”
The bodyguards hauled Olivia to her feet and dragged her out of the Sue Garden. Ivan watched the display, frowning disapprovingly at Rachel’s actions.
“Miss Bennet, are you really going to let her get away with embezzlement? The details on the account are proof enough of her actions.”
Rachel turned to look at Ivan with a sweet smile on her face.
“Perhaps it’s you who doesn’t want to let her get away with it? I thought you just said that Victor gave me free rein to handle this as I saw fit?”
“I’m surprised, that’s all. I thought you’d give her a heavier punishment than just being thrown out the Sue Garden,” Ivan said pleasantly.
“Actually… You’re right. I want to do a little more than just kicking her out the Sue Garden.” Rachel turned to Ivan with an impish smile.
