Chapter 259
The person standing at the door was none other than Chloe. She was once the person Olivia longed the most for, but now, even a glance at her hurt Olivia’s heart.
Ethan was simply getting engaged. But because of that, Olivia managed to meet all the people she didn’t want to see in one go. “Liv, just give me five minutes.”
“You’re not getting even five seconds.” Olivia’s expression was cold.
Coincidentally, a neighbor was leaving their house, Olivia didn’t want to be criticized, so she had no choice but to open the door and let Chloe in.
This was Chloe’s first time coming to Olivia’s house after returning to the country.
If it were before, Olivia would’ve welcomed her with open arms. But today, she didn’t do that. She changed her shoes calmly, then got a gla*s of water for herself. Her throat was dry.
“Go ahead.”
Chloe looked around her. The apartment wasn’t too big. She could see the whole place in just a glance,
“Liv, I heard from Marina that she bought the Fordham residence for you. Why didn’t you move back? This place is so small. How can you live here?”
Olivia put down her gla*s. There were so many faults with that sentence that she didn’t know where to start.
“Right, you’ve always been a pampered lady since you were young. You live in mansions and wear branded clothing, you go places in luxury vehicles.
“In your eyes, a small apartment like this is more like a rescue station. You’re not me, so how would you know what I’ve experienced?”
Hastily stepping forward, Chloe took Olivia’s hand. “Liv, the Fordhams aren’t the greatest family in the country. But you never lacked anything since young
“I didn’t know that the Fordhams would go bankrupt. If I did, I would’ve brought you with me.
Olivia quickly took her hand away, she knew that Chloe had never had a hard day in her life. Nothing she said could make Chloe understand
“Quilt pretending Tell me, why are you here? Let me guess, it has something to do with Marina, doesn’t it?”
It was quite pathetic when she thought about it. Every time her mother came looking for her, it was always about her stepdaughter.
Chloe men’t good at hiding her emotions. An award look flashed across her face
“I’m here to apologize to you for what happened last time. I know I went too far, but you have to consider my situation.
“In reality, in all those years I was married to Chris, he was good to me. But Marina never thought of me as her mother Even Mr. Carlton Senior didn’t like me. I had a terrible time in that family”
Chlox styghed. “It’s not like I’m selfish or anything. You and Ethan are already divorced. If you keep getting involved with him, I’ll affect your reputation too.
“I’m doing this to help Marina so that she won’t criticize me again. I’m also helping you at the same time.
“You’re all young, so you’ll meet someone even better. You need to completely break off your previous relationship
Olivia thought, “And she’s saying that she’s not selfish? Should I make a sign with the word ‘selfish’ and hang it around her
She was so mad that she could only laugh in exasperation. “You sacrificed your biological daughter’s reputation for the sake of your so called happines

“You did it just to maintain your position in that family. Amazing.

Chloe replied, “Liv, you’re still young, so you don’t know what I’m facing. I’m doing this for your good. You lost Ethan, but you still have the Carltons.
“The Carltons have a wide network. No matter what you want to do in the future, they can help you.”
Olivia retorted, “So I should thank you?”
Chloe didn’t notice the sarcasm in Olivia’s voice. “If you talk to Chris more often, you’ll find that he’s a good person. Liv, he earnestly wants to be your dad.”
Olivia held a hand against her stomach. Noticing her silence, Chloe rattled on.
“The Carltons welcome your arrival. It’s Marina and Ethan’s engagement ceremony tomorrow. Attend the ceremony as her sister and give the couple your blessing, okay?”
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 …
