Chapter 59
Olivia calmly took out the original contract and threw it in front of them: “Take a good fook at the contract.
“It states that i agreed to let Chloe play the female lead, but I never guaranteed that her scenes would be broadcast. I allowed her to finish filming. I’ve fulfilled my promise and haven’t breached the contract.”
She added, “Oh, and the contract also says that as long as I agreed to let her play the female lead, you wouldn’t target my shows in the future. If you insist on taking all my shows offline, there’s nothing I can do.
“I’ll definitely lose if we go to court, but I don’t mind exposing our contract and letting everyone see what kind of man Mr. Wilson is–one who doesn’t keep his word.”
Dylan’s face turned gloomy with anger. After taking over the company, he had signed so many contracts, and this was the first time someone had outsmarted him with a contract.
“I underestimated Olivia. I never took her seriously, thinking she wouldn’t play tricks with a contract and that she wasn’t smart enough to do so, he thought.
After all, in the three years of their marriage, she hadn’t worked outside the home. She had always stayed at home writing scripts, then invested some money to find people to film them. She actually didn’t have much experience in negotiations.
Dylan never expected Olivia to dare to trick him.
He could find other reasons to take all of Olivia’s shows offline or have someone else do it for him.
But if Olivia made the situation public, people would suspect that he was targeting her. Once the public opinion started to turn, it would have a
significant impact on him and the Novara Group.
After all, if even a signed contract couldn’t guarantee one’s rights and interests, no one would dare to cooperate with him confidently.
Dylan looked at Olivia, his eyes cold and deep. He laughed bitterly in anger. “You really are something, digging a pit for me from the very beginning, and I only found out now.”
Olivia smiled lightly, “I didn’t dig any pit. Everything is written in the contract. You didn’t read the contract carefully. It’s not my fault.”
Dylan gritted his teeth fiercely and dragged Chloe away.
“Darling, are we just going to let this go? She tricked us. We can’t just let her off the hook like this,” Chloe was very fuming and wanted to get back at
Olivia.
But this time, Dylan didn’t indulge her and forcibly took her away.
With the contract in place, even if they were unwilling, there was nothing they could do. They had underestimated Olivia and didn’t carefully examine the wording in the contract, so they had to swallow this bitter pill.
To appease Chloe, Dylan paid for the script, hired a filming crew, and let Chloe act in it.
Chloe was unwilling to endure hardships, and the filming progress was very slow.
But since Dylan had paid the money, no one in the crew had any objections and were all catering to her, filming at her pace.
A drama that others could finish in a week took Chloe nearly a month and a half to complete. By the time the post–production was done, more than two months had passed.
Dylan had hired professional teams, and the quality of the short drama was even more refined than many feature films. After the short drama was released, it sparked quite a bit of discussion.

Chapter 59
Netizens were abuzz after seeing Chloe.
[The female lead is Chloe? Didn’t she get banned for being a mistress? How dare she still show up?)
[It seems she wasn’t banned. It’s just that there were too many criticisms, and no one dared to hire her for filming, so she didn’t dare to appear.
[She quietly posted on X three months ago, but there were too many people cursing her, and she deleted it in less than half an hour.]
[It has to be said, although Chloe’s acting is not great in the entertainment industry, in short dramas, she can outshine many people. And her looks are definitely top–tier in short dramas.]
[She’s willing to lower herself to act in short dramas. It feels like she’s genuinely remorseful, and she doesn’t seem like a bad person.)
a
[I don’t think it’s entirely Chloe’s fault that she became a mistress. The man who keeps both his mistress and his wife by his side has a bigger problem.]
[When his legal wife saw him attending events with his mistress, instead of making a scene, she sat calmly next to the mistress.
[It feels like they’re not a normal couple. Maybe they’re both playing around behind the scenes? Maybe Chloe isn’t really a mistress after all.]
The online buzz was intense, and it actually helped Chloe clear her name and win back quite a few neutral fans.
During this time, Olivia released another newly filmed short drama. Although the filming techniques and post–production were not as refined as Chloe’s, the plot was so addictive that it quickly overshadowed the popularity of Chloe’s drama.
This made Chloe extremely angry, and she sulked at Olivia every day. However, Olivia ignored her and focused on her own work.
As her pregnancy progressed, Olivia found it increasingly difficult to sit for long periods and felt more easily fatigued. After checking the time, Olivia decided it was the right moment to announce her pregnancy.
Initially, she had planned to tell Morgan after the first month when she could get an ultrasound.
But she changed her mind. Since Chloe and Olivia lived under the same roof, Olivia was afraid that if Chloe found out about her pregnancy, she might try to harm her or deliberately annoy and provoke her, which could affect the fetus’s development.
So, Olivia decided to wait until the pregnancy was more stable before revealing it.
Later, while preparing for the second short drama, Olivia kept putting it off until now, over four months later.
Olivia slung her bag over her shoulder, planning to go to the hospital to get the latest ultrasound report. She would take it to Wilson Manor the next day to show Morgan and share the news.
It was pouring rain that day, so Olivia decided to drive to the hospital herself.
However, not far from her neighborhood, she saw Dylan’s car had broken down, and he got out in the rain.
Within three seconds of him getting out of the car, a van quickly pulled up in front of him. Then two men wearing black hoods rushed out, covered Dylan’s mouth and nose, and dragged him into the van.
The door closed, and the van sped away. Olivia’s heart sank, and she immediately followed the van in her car.
The license plate of the van was covered with mud, making it impossible for her to see the number.
The windows were also tinted black, so she couldn’t see inside. While chasing the van, Olivia used voice command to call Ivan.
She began, “Ivan, I just saw Dylan get kidnapped. I’m currently following the vehicle that took him. You need to call the police right away and contact the security at Wilson Manor to rescue him.
“I’m sharing my location with you now. Keep track of my movements and have people follow this route to rescue him.”

“By the way, I saw him get kidnapped about 1,500 feet to the left of the neighborhood near the bridal house. To prevent me from following the wisng vehicle, you can send people to check the surveillance along that route.” Olivia said all this in one breath.
Ivan took it very seriously and immediately replied, “Okay, I’ll get in touch right away. Mrs. Wilson, please be careful and don’t take unnecessary risks.”
Olivia acknowledged and hung up the phone. She then opened the WhatsApp chat with Ivan and sent him her location, allowing him to monitor her position in real–time
She couldn’t just leave Dylan to his fate. If something happened to Dylan, no one would help her with the DNA testing for the babies in her womb.
Even if she gave birth to the twins, she wouldn’t get any benefits. So, Dylan had to stay alive until Olivia’s children were born.
In the van, Dylan had already been knocked out.
The kidnapper in the passenger seat glanced at the rearview mirror and nervously said, “Elliot, a car has been following us for a long time. Could it be that she saw us kidnap him and is following us on purpose? What if she calls the police?
“Ms. Lane only asked us to stage a drama, saying this person wouldn’t call the police. But if some meddlesome passerby does call the police, this will be a real kidnapping, and we’ll have to serve a few years in jail for sure.”
