Chapter 205
The Carltons were standing at the door. They were furious when they saw what was going on in the room.
Chris was especially angry. He quickly approached Olivia and Chloe.
He was relatively gentle to Olivia before. But now, he was staring daggers at her.
“What are you doing, honey?” Chris said in a serious tone as he helped Chloe up.
Before Olivia could say anything, Chris said harshly, “Ms. Fordham, no matter what prejudices you might have against her, she is your mother, after all.
“She had been thinking of you all these years. The worry she felt caused her to be unwell. She also has a pre-existing heart condition.
“Why do you keep agitating her? Will you only be happy after you’ve killed her?”
“Please stop, honey,” Chloe attempted to defend Olivia.
Chris patted her on her hand and said with an intense expression, “Ms. Fordham, believe it or not, I do feel bad for you.
“I truly want to treat you like my own daughter. I want to allow Chloe to carry out her duties as a mother. But I now know why Ethan wanted to divorce you.”
Olivia’s stomach was feeling better when she woke up. But after hearing what these two had said, she was so angry she couldn’t speak.
The pain in her abdomen began to spread to her entire b*dy. It hurt so much that her brows were furrowed tightly.
She mustered all her strength to squeeze the words from between her teeth. “Why?”
“Because a woman like you doesn’t deserve any kindness! Look at your mother. She almost died giving birth to you.
“Not only are you not repaying her gift of life to you, but you also treat her badly. Are you not worried that karma might get back at you?”
Olivia swallowed the blood in her mouth and glared at Chris. “Are you finished? If you’re finished, get out of here.”
She didn’t want to say another word. Talking with people like them was a waste of time.
She wasn’t one of theirs. She was at fault no matter what she did.
Olivia was in a lot of pain. She just wanted to rest. She had no energy to argue.
But the Carltons were offended, especially Marina. She finally had a chance to vent her frustration.
Ethan wasn’t here. The Fordhams weren’t here. Olivia was all alone.
Marina began to take her anger out on Olivia. She shoved Olivia to the ground hard.
“Olivia, how shameless are you? You are already divorced from Ethan. Stop clinging to him.”
Olivia was in so much pain that she was covered in sweat. She bit her l*p. She was so weak she couldn’t speak.
Chloe saw that something was wrong with her. She leaned over and tried to help her up.
“Liv, what’s wrong? Why are you so pale?”
The heart-wrenching pain in her stomach consumed her. Cold sweat covered her b*dy.
She tried to respond defiantly. But she realized she was too weak from the pain to speak.
Marina pulled Chloe’s hand away from Olivia and said, “Mom, didn’t you say she loved to pretend? I didn’t even push her that hard, but she fell. I think she’s pretending again.”
Chloe recalled the time Olivia pretended to be sick when she was young. She looked hesitant.

Marina said with a cold expression, “Stop pretending, Olivia. No one here cares if you’re in pain.”
Olivia was in so much pain that she was losing consciousness.
She could faintly feel that Marina had kicked her twice on the leg. The heel of Marina’s shoe hit a joint on her leg. It made the pain worse.
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 …
