Chapter 277 - Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy (2/2)
Throwing a bar of soap to her way, Olivia giggled when Henry missed her spot. She then lifted the b.a.r.e wire and dangled it in the air, taunting Henry Lin to charge at her one more time.
”Oopsies.” Olivia's hand flew to her agape mouth. Well that escalated quickly, she thought. She did her best to stifle a snicker but failed upon seeing the distress on Henry's face.
She reminded herself that she should stop poking the bear or else he might walk over water in his rage.
”What the hell do you want, Olivia? I scheduled that damn test for you. What. Else. Do. You. F.u.c.k.i.n.g. Want.”
”Apologize.”
”Whaaat?”
”I want to hear you apologize. To me. To Mom. To Ollie… whatever you did to him. That's all I want.”
”I apologize.”
”I didn't hear what you said.” Olivia cupped her ear.
”I said I'm sorry,” Henry said with a straight face, not an ounce of remorse was apparent on his face.
Olivia pressed a finger to her lips. ”Wait for it… wait for iiiit… Oh.” Her shoulders dropped, and Olivia pouted when a double beeping sound echoed in the room. Tutting, Olivia leaned on the ensuite's door frame and folded her arms over her c.h.e.s.t.
”I can accept that sorry, but the detector won't.” She smiled at him. Looking up on the ceiling, Henry followed Olivia's gaze and saw a black microphone attached to the chandelier.
Explaining the rules of the game, Olivia trailed off, ”That mic is connected to a software that has sort of a lie detector capability. It'll detect if a person is telling the truth or not.
”Now, the code is 'sorry'. If it detects the truth in your sorry, water in this bathroom will be flushed out, and you can walk out a free man. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.”
”And if I don't?” Henry asked, bracing his hands on the bathroom wall while his head was bowed. He could feel heat crawl up his neck to his head. He never felt so much anger in his life.
”Well… Twenty-six hours. You have to wait for twenty-six hours, n.a.k.e.d, alone, and shivering in the cold. You're lucky it's just twenty-six hours and not years, just like how long you trapped my mother.”
”Ha!” Henry scoffed in derision. He pushed his weight away from the bathroom wall and faced Olivia with his chin up in the air. ”Do you honestly think nobody would come and discover me in my own house?”
Olivia shrugged. ”We have alot in common than you think, Father. One of which is we don't like strangers in our bedroom.”
Matching Henry's piercing glare, Olivia straightened her back and spoke with a face devoid of any emotion. ”So, the answer to your question is no. Nobody would dare step foot in your bedroom and life will go on for everyone in your absence.”
Her lips tipped in a smirk. She then raised a brow and gave Henry Lin her final advice, ”Better work on that apology, Mr. Lin, unless you want to spend that night in the toilet.”
She felt her heart drop to her stomach when Auntie Martha came out of nowhere.
”So this part of the mansion is off limits for everyone? Am I correct?” Auntie Martha double-checked.
Olivia nodded before hooking her arm with her Auntie.
”Do you have a live feed? Let me see how he looked like.” The ladies shared a laugh as Olivia showed her auntie the video of Henry with a smiley emoji covering his private parts.
The two then walked away from Henry's bedroom door, ignoring Henry's faint cry for help.
