Chapter 326
After kicking Chloe a few times, Marina still wasn’t satisfied. So, she started hurling insults at Chloe. She was venting all the dissatisfaction she felt toward Chloe and Olivia.
Chloe’s face turned paler. Beads of sweat also appeared on her forehead. She didn’t have the energy to argue anymore, so she could only hang her head.
Marina kicked at Chloe with her toes. “Hey, quit pretending you’re dead…”
Just then, the door opened. Chris had gone home to wash up and change his clothes, then rushed back as soon as he could. He happened to witness the scene.
“What are you doing?” Chris roared like a furious lion.
Marina was stunned at the spot. She said, “Dad, she fell on purpose! She just wants you to feel bad for her! Don’t be tricked by her! She’s-”
Before she could finish speaking, Chris had helped Chloe up. When Chloe raised her head, blood streamed out of her nose.
In an instant, her clothes were soaked with blood.
Marina was startled as well. She thought that Chloe was playing tricks, like how Marina often did.
When she saw the large puddle of blood, she knew that she was in trouble.
Chris shouted at her, “Get the doctor!”
It was then that Marina came to her senses. She pressed the bell.
The doctor and nurses rushed in for the emergency medical treatment.
Looking at the dying woman, Marina didn’t feel much emotion. But she knew that if Chloe died, she would have to shoulder
the blame. Her dad wouldn’t let her off the hook
In other words, Chloe could die, but she mustn’t die at Marina’s hand.
“Dad, listen to me. I swear I didn’t do anything.”
Chris slapped Marina across the face heavily. “If something happens to her, I won’t forgive you! Get out!”
He had seen how nice Chloe was to Marina all these years. Even though Chloe didn’t give birth to Marina, any mother. She pampered Marina unconditionally.
No matter what Chloe had done for her, Marina remained distant and indifferent.
She didn’t respect Chloe at all. Now that Chloe was gravely ill, Marina even treated her with cruelty.
Marina cradled her cheek. “Did you just slap me? How dare you slap me because of that wench!”
gentler than
“She’s your stepmother, Marina! She may not be your real mother, but she tries so hard to be one! She took care of you when you were sick!
“She barely slept a wink back then, and her eyes even became bloodshot because of you! Is this how you repay her?”
With tears streaming down her face, Marina retorted coldly, “You want me to repay her? Have I ever asked her to do those things? She’s not my biological mother anyway!
“She pretended to treat me nicely so that she could secure her position in the Carlton family. She only wanted you guys to accept her. She’s a shameless wench!”
Chris slapped Marina again. “Look at you! I don’t care if you’re not an outstanding person in life, but you have to at least be kind!
“You keep spouting profanities, not to mention you’ve been nothing but disrespectful to Chloe! I don’t remember raising you like this!”

2/2
At that moment, Marina was pissed. She shouted viciously at Chris, “Well, I hate her! If you didn’t miss her so much, my mom wouldn’t have died from heartbreak at such a young age!
“I don’t care if she’s sincere or faking it; I just can’t forget about my mom’s death! That wench has lived way longer than my mom, so it should be enough already!”
Chris shouted, “You!”
Marina raised her head defiantly. “Go on, hit me! Kill me right now, I dare you!”
Chris was so mad that he clutched his chest. “Get out. I don’t want to see you again.”
Marina dashed out of the door. She went to Miller Group with red-rimmed eyes and waited for Ethan in the office.
Ethan had just come back from his meeting when Marina walked up to him. “Ethan.”
Ethan frowned deeply the moment he saw her. He asked in a low voice, “What are you doing here? If there’s anything you want to buy, just let Brent know about it. I’m busy.”
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 …
