Chapter 422 - Cox sisters (3) (2/2)

JoAnna nodded in agreement.

As soon as two of them stopped moving, girls and few men approached them for a casual chat. The sisters smiled and talked politely, but their eyes were scanning beyond the people, making sure they don't get caught off guard.

Sure enough, they didn't wait long until Lindsay and Scarlet found their way toward them.

Sarah noticed that Scarlet has a plate with a large chocolate cake in her hand and is glancing at it apprehensively. Sarah leaned to JoAnna and whispered, ”Cake.”

JoAnna replied with a whisper. ”I will be relying on you.”

When Lindsay and Scarlet were few steps away, Lindsay moved to her left to give way to Scarlet who stumbled between two girls and the plate from her hands flew toward JoAnna. In a flash, Sarah's hand was around JoAnna's waist and pulled her to the side. Plate with a gooey cake landed on the ground, breaking into many pieces.

Scarlet was visibly shaken. ”Sorry, sorry…”

Sarah's eyes threw daggers at Scarlet. She was not sure if she is distressed because their plan failed or maybe she would be in the same 'I'm-sorry' role even if she was successful.

JoAnna put her amiable expression on in less than a second. ”Are you OK? Looks like you tripped onto something?”

”Lucky that missed you. That chocolate goo would ruin your gown!” One lady who was next to JoAnna spoke while looking at the cake mess on the floor.

”Yes. Lucky.” JoAnna smiled.

Scarlet was frozen in place, and Lindsay pulled her back. ”Sorry, my sister can be clumsy sometimes. No harm happened. Right?”

”Right…” Sarah said through her teeth. She wanted to smack those two for trying such childish things.

Sarah pulled JoAnna to the side. ”I don't think we should wait any more.”

JoAnna was about to agree with Sarah, when her eyes landed on a person and she lit up. ”Wait… that is Olivia. Come.”

Olivia was happy to see JoAnna. The two of them exchanged their phone numbers last time JoAnna visited, and they chatted few times since then. JoAnna introduced Olivia to Sarah. ”She is the one who told me that Liam cut the saddle.”

At the mentioning of that incident, Olivia's posture stiffened, and she avoided JoAnna's gaze.

”Olivia, I want to know how you found out that he cut the saddle. Did you see him do it?” JoAnna asked carefully.

Olivia shook her head. ”I overheard them talking about it… after it happened.”

”Who was talking?” Seeing that Olivia is reluctant to talk, JoAnna had to assure her. ”I will not expose you or anything… I just want to understand what happened.”

Olivia looked around, making sure no one overhears them. ”It was Lindsay and Liam. She asked him how it went, and he responded that front straps are cut and that no one saw him.” Olivia looked down and it seemed like she is about to cry. ”I wanted to warn you, but you were already on the ground, and Jeffrey was asking staff for a helicopter. I saw you sitting and thought that the fall maybe was not a bad one, but I got scared and I left the club. Jeffrey was scary. I thought that if I stay behind, he will think I did it. Only when I reached home, I collected my courage and sent you a text.”

JoAnna patted Olivia's shoulder. ”Thank you for telling me this. We will talk more later, now I need to handle something.”

JoAnna walked away with Sarah.

Sarah glanced at JoAnna. ”Does this change something?”

”No.” JoAnna slightly frowned. She was upset that Lindsay schemed against her. And it made her heart ache when she saw how Olivia is scared of Lindsay. It seems that Lindsay is a bully. JoAnna was confident that she will make Lindsay regret; for her and for Olivia and any other person that Lindsay bullied.

”Then?” Sarah smiled. She was happy to see JoAnna's expression who showed that she knows what to do.

JoAnna paused for a second. ”We attack!”
