Chapter 625
Olivia appeared different from usual. She was wearing light makeup and tied her hair up.
Her blue gemstone earrings matched her teal wool sweater.
She was dressed up and was the epitome of grace and sophistication.
She entered the meeting room in high heels. Although she didn’t appear as posh as she did during the award ceremony, she looked gentle.
Not even the celebrities could overthrow her when it came to looks. Her aura was one of a kind too.
Even Darrell was put in a trance. It was his first time seeing her in person.
The air Olivia brought was that of a goddess whom no one could approach. It was his first time describing a woman as a goddess.
Ethan stood up to welcome her personally. He reached out his hand to her. “Why didn’t you inform me before coming?”
Naturally, she placed her hand on his. Their wedding rings came to the same picture.
Compared to the uneasiness when she first regained consciousness, she no longer found his presence repulsive.
They were like a new couple who had been seeing each other for two weeks. Although they hadn’t reached the infatuation stage, they were getting along well.
Olivia smiled gently. “I heard that you’re in trouble, so I came.”
“It’s nothing. I can handle it.” Ethan pulled her to his seat, motioning for her to sit.
She stayed quiet.
Darrell, who finally pulled himself together, exclaimed, “I’m impressed by how strong your mentality is, Ethan. You’re on the edge of falling rock bottom.
“And yet, you’re still in the mood to display your love for your wife.”
Olivia sat down and finally gazed at Darrell. Her driver recounted the current situation to her while she was on the way there.
Madam Burgess had also told Olivia what Darrell did.
He joined hands with other kids to bully Ethan when he was at the tender age of three.
Only then did Olivia realize that some people were born to be bad guys. It had nothing to do with his age.
No matter how well he dressed himself up, it wouldn’t change the fact that he was rotten on the inside.
“It’s the era where even pigs are allowed to vote. Is it wrong to display his love for his wife? If you’re not happy with it, you can bring your partner-whom I a*sume is a pig as well-along to display your love for her. I’m sure no one will stop you.”
The others drew a sharp breath with how provocative her words were.
Ethan would never poke someone with words, but Olivia couldn’t care less about it.
She was a woman anyway. The worst-case scenario would be going full-on aggressive by roasting Darrell.
The idea of it didn’t fear her, but would he be able to put his ego aside for it?
Darrell was stunned momentarily. Based on his understanding of Olivia’s character through his investigation, he thought that she wasn’t a feisty woman.
Who would roast someone on their first meeting?
She was more interesting than he thought she would be.
“You have a point, dear sister-in-law.” Darrell smiled and lowered his head humbly.
Olivia didn’t expect him to smile this brightly after having been told off.
These kinds of people were the scariest. He could give you their brightest smile and yet set you up in secret.
“Don’t take advantage of me. My husband doesn’t have a brother.”
His smile only beamed wider at that. He was like a fox. “Sure. I won’t call you that if you don’t like it.”
He stared at her without holding himself back, making her uncomfortable.
Ethan punched his fist against the table. “If you don’t wanna humiliate yourself by getting driven out of here, shut your damn eyes.”
The sense of danger could be felt in the air, exuding from Ethan. His acquaintances retreated two steps back in reflex.
It seemed like Darrell was the only person who grew up drinking gutsy juice as he responded, “Ms. Fordham is so pretty that I can’t move my eyes off her. You haven’t forgotten my words, have you, Ethan?”
Darrell claimed that he would steal everything from Ethan.
That included Ethan’s woman.
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 …
