Chloe was crying as she told her story. She described the missed opportunities and misunderstandings between her and Chris as incredibly sad and painful.She didn't know how to react when she heard what Olivia said. There were still tears in her eyes. She looked comical as she tried to keep the tears from falling. It was as if she was wondering why Olivia didn't feel any compassion for her. She had such a sad life. She began to wonder if Olivia was truly heartless. "Mrs. Carlton, losing Chris might have been the worst thing that ever happened to you. But do you know what it means to have a family destroyed?"Do you know how helpless I felt when my family left me one by one? "Do you know how much pain I felt when I went from being a princess to a nobody that anyone could spit on?"Olivia smirked and said, "In your world, a mosquito sting requires medical attention. "How would you ever understand how I feel? I have to try my best just to stay alive." Olivia was envious

The Carltons were standing at the door. They were furious when they saw what was going on in the room.Chris was especially angry. He quickly approached Olivia and Chloe. He was relatively gentle to Olivia before. But now, he was staring daggers at her. "What are you doing, honey?" Chris said in a serious tone as he helped Chloe up. Before Olivia could say anything, Chris said harshly, "Ms. Fordham, no matter what prejudices you might have against her, she is your mother, after all. "She had been thinking of you all these years. The worry she felt caused her to be unwell. She also has a pre-existing heart condition. "Why do you keep agitating her? Will you only be happy after you've killed her?" "Please stop, honey," Chloe attempted to defend Olivia. Chris patted her on her hand and said with an intense expression, "Ms. Fordham, believe it or not, I do feel bad for you."I truly want to treat you like my own daughter. I want to allow Chloe to carry out her duties as a m

Marina was exacting her revenge on Olivia. She could never forget the time when Olivia pinned her down and hit her. She wasn't blind. She could see that Olivia wasn't feeling well. But she was taking this chance to attack Olivia because she couldn't fight back. She kicked Olivia as hard as she could while Olivia couldn't stand up. She wanted to vent her anger. "Stop kicking her, Marina." Chloe reached out and tried to stop Marina. Marina didn't usually care about what Chloe had to say. But she didn't mind at the moment. "Mom, didn't you say she loves to pretend? She deserves to be kicked." As she was speaking, she kicked Olivia a few more times. She even slapped Olivia in the face. "You bitch, stop pretending!" Olivia wanted to argue, but she couldn't speak. She could only feel her consciousness fading slowly. She could feel something picking her up in her daze. She could feel someone talking. But she couldn't hear what was said. She murmured, "Home, I want to go home

Olivia's eyes slowly came into focus. She saw a white shirt. She looked up and saw Ethan's strong jawline. The hope was gone from her eyes. She remembered that Jeff was still unconscious in the hospital. There was no way he could've been here. "Why did your nose bleed?" Olivia couldn't believe that was Ethan's first question. She could smell the scent of an unfamiliar shower gel on him. She recalled the fact that he slept in the same bed as Marina last night. She quickly moved away from his embrace. "I hit my nose. My mother accidentally hit the wound when she slapped me," Olivia said calmly. Ethan stared at her face. He wanted to find hints of her lying. Olivia looked at him adamantly and said, "What? You don't believe me? "Weren't you the one that said I was in good health and that nothing could be wrong with me?" "That's true," Ethan agreed. It wasn't clear if he was trying to convince himself or Olivia. He didn't notice the fleeting smirk that crossed Oliv

In the next morning, Kelvin was waiting for Olivia downstairs. Olivia had put on some light makeup to appear more lively. Brent was waiting in front of the car when they arrived at the company. He said politely, "Mrs. Miller …"Olivia shook her head and said, "I told you. Don't address me as—""I'm sorry. I got used to it. I have something to tell you about your job. Mr. Miller has moved you to the sales department." Olivia frowned and said, "Didn't he agree to make me his secretary?"Brent looked at her awkwardly. He coughed softly and said, "Mr. Miller took into consideration that you want to improve yourself. "There are more hands-on challenges in the sales department than if you were his secretary. Mr. Miller has your best interest at heart." Olivia understood. Ethan couldn't possibly keep her by his side as a secretary. He wouldn't be able to answer to the Carltons for that. She understood that this was the outcome of her action at the Carlton residence. But she rea

It was thanks to the Carltons that Olivia was finally free from Ethan's control. Although they were still in the same company, a lowly salesperson like her couldn't possibly meet the CEO. The only inconvenience was that she got removed from the secretary's office. She was distanced from the secretaries. And that strayed her from the goal she came here for. Olivia could only put her hopes on Jack. She hoped that he could dig up something useful on his trip. As she was lost in her thoughts, someone said with a sigh, "Why do I have to be the one to hand in the strategy chart again?" Olivia turned and met the eyes of Norma Talbot, the person whose desk was next to hers. She was an earnest person. "What's wrong, Ms. Talbot?"Norma pushed her hair behind her ear and said sheepishly, "It's time to hand in this project's strategy chart. As you know, we're already the C team. "We were ranked last in the previous month. I don't dare to walk into the secretary's office. I'll be scared to

Grace didn't react even when Olivia placed the present on her table. "Ms. Engel, this is for you." Grace raised her head and adjusted her glasses. She said sternly, "Did you join the company to do pointless things like this?" "Olivia, don't mind her. That's just how she is. You don't have to give her a present if she doesn't want it." Nancy winked at Olivia and said, "Don't worry, I'll hand over the strategy chart to Mr. Ingram personally." "Okay, thanks. I'll not disturb you guys anymore." Olivia stole a glance at Grace. Grace had gotten back to work. It was as if she only cared about working. Grace and Nancy were polar opposites. Olivia wondered which one of them was the suspicious one. Olivia believed that the spy could not hide forever. The truth would definitely come out. Even if she didn't make a move, the spy might not be able to remain in the dark. She had embedded tracking devices into the brooches. So she was one step ahead of the spy this time. Olivia w

The matter blew up. Normally, Ethan would be communicating with the sales director if he had a problem. He wouldn't usually call for a team leader. Norma's bubbly demeanor quickly turned sour. "Olivia, I've said it before. You have limited experience. Since you joined Team C, you should focus on learning. "Instead, your mind seems to be filled with all sorts of nonsense. Did you make Mr. Miller angry?"Did you think you could do whatever you wanted because you had the looks? Who do you think Mr. Miller is? Do you know what happened to the last employee that tried to seduce him?" Olivia felt that she had been unlucky lately. Nothing was going her way. She went to the secretary's office once. The colleague who was all cordial before was already reprimanding her. The words that came out of her mouth were so unpleasant. Olivia said calmly, "I didn't get to meet Mr. Miller. I just submitted the strategy chart to the secretary's office. I don't know how I could've angered Mr
