"What did you call me?" Chloe looked at Olivia in disbelief. "Mrs. Carlton, did you forget that you divorced my father years ago?"Your husband is now Mr. Carlton. Am I mistaken to call you Mrs. Carlton?"This was the first time Olivia had been so cold to Chloe. Even during the time Chloe met her after she came back from overseas, Olivia had been gentle.Now, it was as if she was a cold and sharpened blade. "Liv, you've changed. How can you say that? I am still your mother, after all.""Yes, I've changed. I've only come to realize that humans are despicable and that human nature is ugly and selfish. "If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have been missing my mother all those years. I wouldn't have spent years waiting for someone who would never return." "Liv, I know I've let you down. But now that I'm back, I'll do everything in my power to make it up to you."Olivia gazed at Chloe's face. She didn't remember how Chloe looked when she was still a child. She looked la

His description jolted Olivia's memory. She had met many people with weird habits. One of Ethan's friends was a health nut. While everyone else drank Absinthe on ice, he would be drinking detox blends in his cold cup. When other people were having fun with pretty ladies, he would be wearing an eye mask and having a footbath. He would also mutter, "If you don't take care of your health now, you'll be suffering from illnesses when you get older." Colin was the weirdest person she knew other than that health nut. He was morbidly afraid of furry animals with sharp teeth. He used to follow Micheal to Jeff's birthday parties. But he would always be chased up a tree by Olivia's cat, Snowball. A group of children would laugh at him from below. Only Olivia would help him by grabbing Snowball. She would then coax him with a smile. "Don't be afraid, I have him now. Give me your hand. I'll help you down." "Oh, it's you. Are you still afraid of cats?" The memory of that incident b

"Shut up," Ethan said. "Ethan, we're the most compatible with each other. Olivia only loves your money. She can get with anyone as long as the price is right." Ethan ignored her and left. Marina was angry. She walked toward the other side of the hall with her wine in hand. She whispered something into Calista's ears. Calista was all talk. She had never actually hurt anyone before.She had a nervous expression and said, "Are … are we really doing this?" Marina smiled and said, "I have always trusted you, Calista. I believe you're destined to do great things. "If you can take care of this for me, I can promise you that there will be something for the Davieses at the Oakland Hospital." "I will not let you down, Marina." Marina smiled with satisfaction. This was reality. People would do anything to satiate their greed."Olivia, how are you going to fight me with neither the resources nor anyone to back you up?" Marina thought to herself. Olivia sat with Colin for a wh

Colin did not know how to respond. Although Olivia was talking about Snowball, Colin had the feeling that she was talking about her own funeral instead. "I've got it, Olivia.""It has to be the tallest tree in the yard. That tree blooms with branches full of plum blossoms in the winter. "The scent of the flowers goes well with the cold white snow. I'll be waiting for her there." No one would have guessed that she meant she would be waiting there after she was dead. "Okay, but you can also visit Snowball when you are free." Olivia took off her diamond earrings and handed them to Colin. "I came out in a rush today and don't have anything on me. "But please hand these earrings to Snowball. She has always loved shiny little trinkets since she was a kitten." " … Okay. If you're too busy, I can also bring her to you if you give me an address. I bet she'll be delighted to see you." "No need." Olivia was running out of time. Ethan arrived just in time to see Colin pulling Ol

Colin's embrace was not as sturdy as Ethan's. His arms were more slender. Olivia knew that Ethan was extremely possessive. So she pulled away from Colin as soon as she steadied herself. "Thanks, it's cold out here, let's go back in." Olivia went back to the dining hall. Ethan, who was standing there a while ago, was no longer there. Colin wanted to get Olivia some food the moment she sat down. She saw Calvin approaching her, so she didn't stop him either. Calvin sat down elegantly with a glass of wine in his hand. They looked like two friends bantering. Olivia whispered, "Have you found anything out, Calvin?" "Yeah, I received some information before I boarded the ship. I just didn't have the opportunity to talk to you about it. "It is like we guessed. Someone swapped out your medical examination report. "Although he kept his head down, we managed to get a few pictures. Take a look and see if you recognize him." Calvin showed Olivia a picture that had been magnifie
Chapter 123
Olivia was confused. Wasn't Colin getting her some food? What happened? She asked where he was and quickly went to look for him. Olivia found Colin in a room. He was leaning on a couch weakly. His face was flushed, and his voice became soft. It sounded like the purring of a cat.He was staring at her helplessly. "Olivia, I feel hot." She placed her hand on his forehead to check. It was indeed burning up. "Other than the fever, does anything else hurt?" They were only outside for a short while.He shouldn't have gotten sick so quickly unless he had some preexisting conditions. Olivia began practicing what she learned as a medical student.She racked her brain to think of any conditions that would cause a fever to flare up quickly. Colin unfastened his tie. He also unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and revealed his Adam's apple. He placed his hand over Olivia's and tugged. "Olivia, I feel like I'm on fire." Olivia finally knew what was wrong. She quickly pulle

Ethan looked at Colin, who was in the way. He pulled him to the side and even kicked him once. Then, he ordered, "Drag him away." Brent saw that the mood wasn't right. He quickly dragged Colin away and closed the door behind him. Ethan leaned forward and slowly approached Olivia. The temperature dropped as he got closer. He gritted his teeth and ran his fingers across Olivia's face. Ethan then said in an emotionless voice, "Do you know what I hate the most?" Olivia met his angry face and said, "Betrayal and scheming behind your back." He reached out, held her chin, and said, "I've told you before. Do not test me, Olivia." Olivia wanted to tell him about her discovery. But the evidence she had on her could only prove that her medical examination report had been swapped out. She didn't have any hard evidence. In the end, he would just blame her for telling lies. She swallowed the words that she was about to say. She preferred to humiliate him after the truth was out
Chapter 125
Although Chloe had tried her best to be good to Marina all these years, Marina never saw her as her mother. Chris Carlton and Helen Gibson were promised to each other before they were born. Chris was cold to Helen after they were married, so she spent her days in depression. When Marina was only a few years old, she passed away. As soon as she died, Chris took the chance to remarry.Marina always blamed Chloe for everything that happened. For this reason, Marina had never stopped making life hard for Chloe. She even schemed and caused Chloe to miscarry. That incident also caused Chloe to become infertile. On the surface, Marina had a peaceful relationship with Chloe. But only she knew how much she hated Chloe. To make matters worse, Chloe was Olivia's mother. So she also vented her anger toward Olivia on Chloe. She would not have paid any attention to Chloe in the past. But today, she placed her hand in Chloe's palm for the first time and held her hands. They prese
