Chapter 275
1/2
Life or death didn’t matter to Olivia anymore. All she wanted was for Chloe to show that she cared about her before she died.
She wanted to know that her waiting had not been for nothing, that she wasn’t alone in this relationship.
What she wanted was actual proof of maternal love from Chloe, not just empty words of love.
Olivia couldn’t see Chloe’s expression because she was blindfolded.
She began to feel uneasy. She had already lost to Marina once. She didn’t want to lose a second time.
The person in the panda suit got impatient as Chloe didn’t reply for a long time.
He said impatiently, “Why is it so hard for you to pick between your daughter and stepdaughter? Since that’s the case, I’ll decide for you. Cut both the ropes!”
“No! I choose Marina,” Chloe shrieked.
The guests were dumbfounded.
“Did my ears deceive me? She actually chose the stepdaughter?”
“So there’s actually a mother who doesn’t love her daughter? My eyes have been opened.”
“You youngsters know nothing. Her hands were tied. She married into the Carlton family.
“Naturally, she has to think about the family’s best interest. Or else, how could she face the Carltons after this?”
“Won’t she feel guilty for sacrificing her daughter to maintain her relationship with the Carltons?”
“The daughter abandoned by her own mother must be so heartbroken.”
The crowd couldn’t possibly know how much pain Olivia was going through. But they could imagine how sad she must be. Olivia could no longer hold back her tears after she heard Chloe’s words.
“Why … Why am I always the one who gets abandoned?”
Tears began streaking down her face. The on-lookers were on the verge of tears at the sight of her sorrow.
Olivia didn’t scream or wail. Nor did she demand an explanation.
Her heart was already in tatters, barely hanging on to life. It was the person whose love she craved the most that landed the fatal blow.
The person was right. She did make Olivia wish she was dead.
The most painful wounds are the ones inflicted by the people you love.
When she heard what Olivia said, Chloe felt like her heart was being torn out of her chest.
Olivia moved slightly and faced Chloe’s direction.
She said, “You already abandoned me once. Why are you abandoning me again?”
“Liv, I’m sorry. I am sorry. But I have no choice.”
“You say you’re sorry?”
Olivia smiled lightly and said, “I don’t want to hear that you’re sorry. That’s what you said when you abandoned me the first time.
“You also claimed to have no choice back then. What about me? Did I ever have a choice?
“If I could choose, I would rather be born into a poor family and have a mother who loves me. It would be way better than being abandoned by you repeatedly.
Chapter 275
“The other kids were right. I am a motherless bastard. I shouldn’t have had any hope for you.” “Liv, I love you! I really do! But Marina is different.
“Her mother pa*sed away early, and she never had the chance to feel her mother’s love…”
“Such irony. She abandoned her daughter to compensate for another person’s lack of maternal love.” The on-lookers were stunned. They couldn’t believe how twisted Chloe’s logic was.
The person in the panda suit seemed satisfied with Chloe’s answer.
She then turned her attention to Ethan and asked, “Mr. Miller, what about you? Ex-wife or fiancée? “Make your choice. I am more curious about your answer than Mrs. Carlton’s.”
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 …
