Chapter 657
Olivia felt slightly strange as she was shopping with Janice. It was the first time she went shopping with her mother-in-law.
She finally understood what it meant to be a big spender.
Janice had many brand-new clothes at home but still bought a whole pile of them without even
batting an eye.
Olivia wasn’t sure if she was the same before she lost her memories. But at the moment, she felt
troubled when she looked at those prices.
Janice was completely unfazed. “Just spend the money. If you don’t spend it, are you planning to let some other woman spend it for you? Don’t worry, the Millers are stacked.”
Olivia smiled awkwardly, then she heard Janice add, “The Procters are pretty well off, too.”
Olivia didn’t know anything about the Procters.
She had heard that Janice was adamant about marrying Kenneth. She even turned down her
childhood friend for Kenneth, which made her grandfather furious.
The Procters had tried to stop her from marrying Kenneth, but to no avail. When they learned that the Miller Family was mistreating her, they tried to bring her home several times.
Back then, Janice was devoted to Kenneth.
She was sure that he would come back to her, so she kept on doing reckless things. So, even the
Procters had enough.
They gave up on her and cut ties with her after she tried to commit suicide by slitting her wrists.
Since they cut ties with Janice, they barely ever connected with Ethan.
Olivia noticed the flash of loneliness in Janice’s eyes when she brought up the Procter Family.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, do you ever regret your decision?”
“Of course I do. I abandoned my family for a man. I came to another country to marry him with
reckless disregard.
“Everything just feels like a nightmare now. I wasted away for 20 years. I was so pathetic.”
Janice was a proud woman. She wore a smile and put on a brave face even though she was feeling
immense regret.
Olivia held her hand and lightly patted the back of her hand to comfort her.
“Don’t worry. I don’t even fear death. Why would I be afraid of living?”
Janice looked at Olivia tenderly and said, “Pick something out for yourself. Don’t worry about the money. Even though I’ve been a mess most of my life, I still have plenty of money.”
The Procter Family might have cut ties with Janice, but that was only because her actions saddened them. They wanted to use that as an ultimatum to change her mind.
Financially, they never actually cut her off. Her parents and older siblings would send her money
every month.
The Miller Family felt they had failed Janice, so she was also given plenty of dividends annually.
The money had accumulated for over twenty years, and it was a hefty amount.
Janice sat in the VIP room and watched as the models tried on different clothes.
“Is there anything you like?”
Olivia wasn’t too interested in fashion. “I think they’re all fine, but I already have too many clothes
at home. You don’t have to buy any for me.”
“That won’t do. Buy everything you want.”
Olivia rubbed her temples and said, “I’ll take this one.”
Janice waved her hand and said, “I’ll take everything.”
The salesperson smiled from ear to ear while Olivia felt a little speechless.
“Miss, come this way so I can take your measurements.”
“Alright.”
Olivia turned to Janice and told her, “Mom, I’ll be getting my measurements taken.”
Janice waved at her dismissively and said, “Go ahead. I’ll ch*ck out the jewelry store next door.”
Olivia winced as she thought about the huge amount of money Janice was about to spend.
She knocked into someone as she was spacing out. The clothes in the person’s arms fell to the
floor.
“I’m sorry.” Olivia and the woman crouched down at the same time.
“It’s okay.”
The woman had a clear voice. Their eyes met, and the woman visibly froze when she saw Olivia.
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 …
