Chapter 249
1/2
It wasn’t that Olivia couldn’t dodge it. Instead, Chloe was simply too fast. Olivia also didn’t expect her to do that in public.
Olivia was stunned by the slap.
In her memories, Chloe was a distant person who had always been cold to Olivia.
No matter what, Chloe had received lessons on manners since she was young. How could she hit Olivia in public?
– Olivia covered her face, taking a deep breath to suppress the rage in her heart.
“Mrs. Carlton, I think you owe me an explanation.”
“If I had known you would turn out as shameless as this, Olivia, I wouldn’t have given birth to you. I’m very disappointed in you!”
Chloe’s slap had ruined Olivia’s good mood for the past two days.
Olivia’s colleagues looked on curiously. Olivia couldn’t handle the embarra*sment.
“If you have something to say, let’s talk outside.”
Chloe swept her hand away. “What’s the matter? Are you scared that I’ll expose what you did? I have no idea how your father raised you. I can’t believe you’ve resorted to such tactics!
“He has already cut off ties with you, but you ran after him and even joined his company!”
Olivia understood what was going on now. Marina knew that she couldn’t change Ethan’s decision, so she urged Chloe to make an appearance.
Chloe would shame Olivia in public. Then, Olivia would feel so embarra*sed that she would leave the company on her own.
This plot wasn’t too cunning, but it was the most hurtful.
Olivia looked at Chloe with a hurt look on her face. “But you’re my mother.”
She couldn’t understand it. Chloe was her biological mother, but she kept siding with Marina.
Chloe knew that Marina had ruined her family, but she never scolded Marina for it. Instead, she played along with Marina’s plot and came to the company to cause trouble.
Marina must have told Chloe something. Chloe’s face was filled with rage as she said, “I don’t have a shameless daughter like you!”
With that, she grabbed Olivia’s hair. “Come with me. You shouldn’t be here!”
The people around them couldn’t help even if they wanted to. They never thought that Olivia’s mother would be so fierce.
At that moment, they still didn’t know Chloe’s identity.
When people from the other departments heard of this incident, they stopped working. They crowded at the entrance of the office to watch the show.
“Go and tell Mr. Miller that you’re resigning right now. Don’t you dare go out and embarra*s yourself ever again.”
“Let go!” Olivia pushed Chloe away with all her might.
Losing her balance, Chloe fell onto the ground.
She didn’t make a fuss on the ground, but her words were still hurtful.
Scrambling to get up, she scolded Olivia for ruining someone else’s family.
A few days ago, people were still spreading rumors that Olivia was involved with Ethan. Chloe’s visit had proven this rumor.
As Chloe complained, everyone looked at Olivia in disdain.
Chapter 249
Home-wreckers were rampant these days, and many people hated them as well.
Everyone whispered among themselves. Olivia could hear the horrible words they were saying.
The words flew at her from all directions like piercing daggers.
Those weren’t the worst; the worst came from her own mother’s mouth.
Chloe would destroy Olivia for Marina’s sake!
Rumors were like knives that would steal people’s lives.
Olivia couldn’t defend herself. Under such circumstances, anything she said would be wrong.
No matter what she said, her mother’s words would still win over hers.
Clenching her fingers into fists, she asked Chloe a question, “What good do you get out of this?”
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 …
