Chapter 274
Marina was facing the camera. It was as if the person was trying to be considerate.
She adjusted the camera to give the audience a close-up view of Marina and Olivia.
Everyone could clearly see the state Marina and Olivia were in.
The diamonds on Marina’s fancy dress reflected the sunlight and created a dazzling glow.
The black blindfold on her face was soaked by her tears. The makeup she spent so much time putting on was ruined by her
tears.
Marina no longer cared about how she looked. She just wanted to live.
On the other hand, Olivia was the complete opposite.
It was impossible to tell how she felt since most of her face was covered. Her l*ps were pursed.
She didn’t call for help from the beginning. She didn’t even say a word.
Some people thought she had fainted. Others noticed the sweat on her forehead. They thought it was weird that she sweated but didn’t cry.
Olivia didn’t have any makeup on, but her complexion was ashen. Even her l*ps were unnaturally pale.
“Isn’t the ex-wife too calm? It’s a matter of life and death. Why isn’t she panicking at all?”
“Is she not scared of death?”
“Marina is calling for help because she knows there’s a chance she will live.
“Olivia probably kept her l*ps sealed because she knew she would be sacrificed. If the outcome was the same either way, it would be pointless for her to call for help.”
The on-lookers began to formulate all sorts of theories. Some felt sad for this ex-wife who had never shown herself in public. Olivia broke her silence as the crowd was still guessing. “Mom, I also want to know who you’d pick between the two of us.’ She didn’t address Chloe as Mrs. Carlton this time. She called her “mom”.
Olivia said calmly, “I don’t blame you for neglecting me since I was young. I don’t blame you for leaving so abruptly. “Because Dad said that you weren’t happy when you were with him. You didn’t leave us behind. You just went to pursue your own happiness.
s bastard.
“You cut ties with Dad and were gone for years. I had been pushed to the ground. People called me a moth “None of that matters. I don’t blame you. I just want to know one thing. Did you also forsake our bond?” Olivia smiled faintly and continued, “I’m not afraid of dying. But I want to know if the mother I waited for more than ten years ever cared about me. Even if it’s just this once.”
Everyone’s gaze fell on Chloe.
Marina was still shouting. “Mom, you said you would protect me! You said you would treat me like I was your own even if we aren’t blood-related.”
Olivia didn’t care about what would happen to her. Her cancer was getting worse. She didn’t know how much longer she had to
live.
All she wanted was to see her mother once again before she died, her mother, who would love her.
Olivia was like a child abandoned in the snow. She had been battered by the wind and snow. She was on her dying breath.
She held on to life because she was waiting for her mother to come get her.

She wanted to prove to the bullies that she wasn’t a motherless bastard.
She wanted to prove to the world that she also had a mother. And that her mother was the most gentle woman who loved her the most.
“Mom, you’ll pick me, right?” Olivia said as tears welled up in her eyes.
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 …
