Chapter 553
The life mechanics came quickly. Preston and Dean followed them to the basement.
The elevator fell to the bottom floor.
It was the basement.
Preston said very quickly, "Get it to work as soon as possible!"
Time passed by, but now he felt that every second was long.
When Dean looked at Preston's anxious face, he was surprised and amused.
The three of them were friends, but Preston looked overly worried.
Dean would be anxious if it was someone else in there. But it was Everett.
They didn't have to worry about Everett in such a situation.
Preston looked at his watch and then at the closed elevator door. Half an hour had passed since he came here.
In the past half an hour, Everett didn't do anything to Olivia, did he?
He was in panic right now.
In the elevator, after Olivia asked that question, Everett stopped talking.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
The elevator turned silent again.
But Olivia was not surprised.
Because she knew the answer to this question very well.
Everett must have hatred.
It was impossible for him not to hate. As long as he loved someone, he would hate someone.
He loved Melody so much. How could he let their child be beaten to death?
That feeling was heartbreaking even when she just thought about it.
Olivia said, "You..."
"Is there anyone inside?"
The voice of a strange man came, and Olivia pushed Everett away in an instant. She didn't even know how she did that.
She ran to the elevator door and said, "Yes!"
Preston heard Olivia's voice and ran over. "Olivia, are you okay?"
When Olivia heard Preston's voice, she instantly calmed down.
"Mr. Smith, I'm fine. I'm fine."
There was no sadness, despair, or pain in Olivia's voice. Instead, there was hope. Preston was relieved.
He was finally relieved.
"Okay, that's great. Just wait a minute. The door will be opened soon."
"Okay!"
Not long after, there was a clanging sound outside. Olivia smiled at the sound. She could go out now.
She didn't have to be trapped in this depressing place by Everett anymore.
Everett looked at Olivia. She was standing at the elevator door with her head up, looking at the elevator door.
At this moment, the coldness on her disappeared and there was no hostility.
Because she saw hope.
The hope to stay away from him.
Outside the elevator, Dean looked at Preston with surprise on his face.
He had always thought that Preston was worried about Everett. But he was worried about that woman.
Seeing how worried he was, Dean thought this woman was no common employee.
Dean smiled and patted Preston on the shoulder. "Preston, when are you getting married?"
He was worried about this woman, so he must have planned to marry her.
Preston was confused, but he soon realized what Dean meant.
He smiled and said, "You misunderstood. She's not my girlfriend. She works at my company."
Dean didn't believe him. "You are lying."
Preston was helpless. "I didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, ask..."
Preston paused.
He remembered someone.
Everett.
He had called Olivia just now. There was nothing unusual in Olivia's voice. Wasn't Everett inside?
Preston came to the elevator door. "Olivia, are you alone in there?"
There was no sound inside.
It was as if there was no one.
Preston's heart tightened. He knocked on the door. "Olivia?"
Olivia was at the elevator door. She heard Preston, but she didn't want to answer.
"Olivia?"
Preston didn't hear Olivia. He raised his voice.
Olivia said, "No."
Preston paused.
No...
So Everett was inside?
The two of them...
Preston didn't know what to ask for a moment.
Olivia did not speak again. There was no sound except for the clang above her head.
About 20 minutes later, the elevator door clanked open.
