Chapter 125
Although Chloe had tried her best to be good to Marina all these years, Marina never saw her as her mother.
Chris Carlton and Helen Gibson were promised to each other before they were born.
Chris was cold to Helen after they were married, so she spent her days in depression.
When Marina was only a few years old, she pa*sed away.
As soon as she died, Chris took the chance to remarry.
Marina always blamed Chloe for everything that happened.
For this reason, Marina had never stopped making life hard for Chloe.
She even schemed and caused Chloe to miscarry. That incident also caused Chloe to become infertile.
On the surface, Marina had a peaceful relationship with Chloe. But only she knew how much she hated Chloe.
To make matters worse, Chloe was Olivia’s mother. So she also vented her anger toward Olivia on Chloe.
She would not have paid any attention to Chloe in the past. But today, she placed her hand in Chloe’s palm for the first time and held her hands.
They presented an image of a loving pair of mother and daughter to the public.
Chloe was secretly delighted.
Marina had blamed her for Helen’s death for so many years. She was a mother, too, so she understood how Marina felt.
She poured all the love she had for Olivia onto Marina. No matter what Marina did to her, she thought that Marina would one day come to understand her.
Chloe was overjoyed when Marina took her hand. It felt like Marina was starting to open up to her.
The people around them started showering praises on them. Marina saw that the time was almost right.
She asked, “Mother, where is Olivia? She’s been on the ship for so long. Why hasn’t she come to say hi yet?”
“She’s a stubborn one. She’s not as well–mannered as you. Just leave her be.”
Chloe recalled Olivia’s cold demeanor. She didn’t want Olivia to ruin the atmosphere.
“How can we do that? If she’s harboring resentment against you, I’ll have to give her a talking–to.
“You’ve been thinking about her all this time. It’s a happy occasion today. You can take this chance to make up with her.”
Chloe couldn’t argue with that. She would prefer if Marina and Olivia made up. She would no longer need to be walking on eggshells between them.
“Alright, but I have no idea where she is.”
“She should be over there. Let’s go find her together.”
Marina led a group of rich middle–aged ladies toward where Olivia was.
Meanwhile, Calista was gathering a group of her influencer friends. They all started live streams.
The audience members of the live streams marveled at how grand and fancy the cruise ship was.
“So this is how the wealthy enjoy themselves. It’s fancier than my wildest imaginations.”
“It’s no wonder that celebrities are clamoring to marry into rich families. I just caught a glimpse of an emerald necklace on a lady. That piece is worth millions!”
“Some people are just born with silver spoons in their mouths. Unlike us normal people, we’re destined to a life of labor.”
One of the streamers looked at the chat and said, “I’ll be showing you guys the buffet dining hall now. There are up to a thousand types of food here. Watch closely. A lot of the food here is hard to get anywhere else. The decor is also very luxurious.
The streamers were all trying to retain the viewers with interesting things on the ship.
They were all excited and couldn’t wait to get Olivia’s affair on camera. It would definitely bring more viewers in.
Marina smiled when she saw that everything was ready. She didn’t see Ethan among the crowd. But it didn’t matter. Things were about to blow up. She signaled one of the streamers, and she quickly came forward.
She said, “Dear viewers, it’s time to witness something incredible.”
She felt conflicted and anxious but pushed open the door with shaky hands.
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
