Chapter 252
Olivia looked up. A strong b*dy had appeared before her. Ethan was grabbing Chloe’s hand.
If he had been respectful of Chloe before, he wasn’t now. He didn’t bother to hide the coldness in his eyes. “Aren’t you going too far, Ms. Parker?”
Chloe had always lived in a pampered environment. Ethan’s grip was hurting her wrist so much that she frowned. “Ethan, I’m helping you here. What are you doing?”
“Helping me?” Ethan sneered, but he didn’t let go. Instead, he tightened his grip.
He said, “I don’t like anyone meddling in my affairs, understand?”
Chloe was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes. She nodded repeatedly. “Yes, I get it now. Just let go of me.” “Ms. Parker, look properly at the person in front of you. She’s your real daughter!” With that, Ethan pushed her hand away.
Two trails of tears appeared on Chloe’s face. It was all because of Ethan.
She looked at Olivia with an even fiercer expression. She transferred the pain Ethan caused her onto Olivia.
“Look, it’s all your fault. If you could stay out of trouble like Marina does, I wouldn’t have to worry about you.”
Putting a hand over her stomach, Olivia was so pissed that her blood boiled.
“You’ve been gone from my life for more than a decade. Tell me, when have you ever worried about me?”
Instead of feeling guilty, Chloe got even angrier. “No matter what, you’re still my daughter. I think about you every day. How can you be so heartless? Goodness, how did Jeff raise you—”
This time, before Chloe could finish her sentence, Olivia grabbed a cup from the table. It was still hot to the touch.
She didn’t care, though. She just wished that she could just slam it on Chloe. But when she aimed it at Chloe’s face, she hesitated.
“I’m warning you, don’t mention my dad. You’re not worthy!”
Startled by Olivia’s actions, Chloe couldn’t say a word.
“Y-You… Are you trying to hit me?”
“If you
mention my dad again, this cup will land right on your head. I mean it.”
Putting a hand to her chest, Chloe went pale as she pointed at Olivia’s face. “You terrible daughter!”
Ethan knew that Chloe had heart problems. Realizing that the situation had worsened, he pulled Olivia to the side and sat her down.
“Ms. Parker, drink some tea and calm down. I’ll explain this matter to you later.”
Seeing that even Chloe’s l*ps had changed color, Olivia stopped herself from speaking.
Also, she was quite interested in Ethan’s explanation.
Taking a sip of tea, Chloe calmed down.
“Ethan, forgive me for being nosy, but men should be loyal. Since you’ve already chosen Marina, you should stop hesitating. It’s harmful for both women.’
”
After a pause, she continued, “I know that you’re a devoted man. Perhaps you can’t let go of Liv, and you think that you’ve wronged her.
“You can make it up to her in other ways that won’t hurt Marina. You have to understand that Liv is someone from your past now. Marina is the only woman you should spend the rest of your life with.”
Suppressing the annoyance in his heart, Ethan let out a heavy sigh. He interrupted Chloe’s words that didn’t seem to end as he

couldn’t stand to hear them.
“Ms. Parker, I understand. You think that Olivia’s presence will cause discomfort, right? Then she won’t have to come to work starting tomorrow.”
Olivia turned to look at him. “What did you say?”
Ethan said slowly, “You’re fired.”
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 …
