Chapter 701
It hurt so much that Olivia couldn’t speak.
Janice wanted to take a seat to enjoy the show, but to her surprise, Jessica and Darrell were on it again. It seemed like they were seizing this chance to make up an excuse for Harold to drive Olivia and the others
out.
“Kenneth Miller, if you like that word so much, why don’t you carve it on your gravestone in the future?”
Janice said.
Displeased, Kenneth looked at her and said, “Zip it. This is none of your business.”
Janice then stood in front of Olivia and barked fiercely at him, “You shut the F*** up!”
Kenneth was stunned, and so was Jessica. The spectators were equally dumbfounded too.
Harold was the only person feeling awkward as he coughed lightly, “Watch your words, Janice. Your
mother-in-law is the most feisty person. She might call you up tonight.”
In the past, even when Janice was angry, she never scolded Jessica with bad words before. Janice was
raised with a good upbringing in a rich family after all.
However, she had become feistier after over 20 years. She even dared to use bad words now.
“Kenneth Miller, just what are your eyes for? Are you blind? If you’re blind, I bet you still have a brain to
think.
“Olivia was just sitting and didn’t offend anyone. Darrell was the one who came up to her to cause
trouble. No one overheard their conversation, yet you believed his story. Olivia isn’t a mad woman. Why
would she splash water at someone on this kind of occasion?”
Janice put Kenneth in an awkward spot.
Kenneth’s brows furrowed tightly as he thought, “This woman isn’t a goddess. Her temper has become
viler than before!”
“What else could Darrell say? He was simply worried about her. Janice, I know you hate me. But even
though we’re back, no one’s stealing your positions. Your son will forever be Mr. Miller. You guys don’t
have to see Darrell and Jessica as enemies,” he exclaimed.
Olivia hugged her hurting stomach. Pale-faced, she stood up and bit her l*p. “Her son? Is Ethan not your
son?”
Kenneth had nothing to say against her question. He also felt that he had put it in the wrong way.
Never once had he perceived Janice as his wife. Even Ethan was a loathing existence to Kenneth
because Jessica disliked him, and it made Kenneth feel sorry for her.
Harold couldn’t watch any longer and slammed his wheelchair, intending to stand up. But the butler
forced him to sit down and said, “Calm down, Mr. Harold.”
Harold took a deep breath before saying, “Everyone, silence!”
Although Darrell and Jessica didn’t have good intentions, it was still Harold’s birthday.
Harold had already lost his wife. He was also old and couldn’t think straight at times; his days were
numbered.
Half of Harold’s lifetime was spent fighting with Kenneth, hence the wish to have called it a truce for
today.
Harold simply wanted to enjoy the happy occasion with his children and grandchildren. As long as there
were no fights, he was happy with a simple celebration. But to his dismay, Darrell and Jessica were
plotting something again, and it had ruined his birthday banquet.
Darrell was aware that Harold wanted peace, but Darrell was reluctant to grant his wish.
Darrell knelt immediately. “Grandpa, it’s all my fault. Don’t blame Mom. I’ll accept any punishment. She
simply cares for me. That’s why.”
The weaker he acted, the more forceful Olivia and Janice seemed in comparison.
Olivia finally knew what kind of life Janice had lived in the past.
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 …
