[Olivia, you've been helping me for so long. It wouldn't be a problem for you to help me again, right?]
Asking Lucas first and then telling me, that's a case of deciding first and then reporting.
I coldly tapped the screen of my phone, [Sure, welcome.]
[I promise to take good care of you.]

After replying to Ella, I immediately called a technician to install surveillance and recording equipment in secret places around the house.
Ella arrived at my house that evening, along with Lucas.
They came in just as I was coming out of the room.
They were holding each other when they walked in, looking quite flirtatious.
As I saw them, Lucas immediately let go of Ella and looked a bit embarrassed.
He explained to me, "I picked Ella up on the way here, and she almost fell just now. I just helped her."
Ella looked at Lucas angrily and said to me, "Yes, Olivia, thanks to Lucas."
In my last life, they were also hugging and holding each other when I caught them, and I really believed their story back then.
I didn't know if I had a problem with my brain last time, as they were so obvious, but I believed their lies.
I suppressed my laughter and nodded to show understanding, then took Ella to her room to put away her luggage.
After I settled her down, I showed her around the house.
This villa was designed and decorated by myself, warm and luxurious. I could see the unconcealed greed and jealousy in Ella's eyes while showing her around.
After seeing her expression, I took her back to her room and let her rest.
When I closed the door, I heard her muttering in a low voice.
Back in my room, I played the recording.
I heard Ella say, "Why should she be able to live in such a luxurious house while I'm just a guest? This kind of charity is something I don't need, and when I have the baby, these things will be mine eventually!"
I never expected that my help to Ella would be seen as charity.
This might be the malice of the recipient.
My assistance made her see her own insignificance and inferiority, and she believed that I was looking down on her and giving her charity.
She accepted my help, yet was filled with hatred and wanted to replace me.
But, she said that these things would be hers after she gave birth to the baby?
It seemed that there was something fishy about whose child this was.

I contacted a private detective to help me investigate Lucas and Ella's previous relationship.
