Chapter 4
Seeing her daughter, Madam Enya hurriedly walked forward.
"Why are you going downstairs alone?" she complained.
"Your feet are still healing."
She reached out her hand to help.
Olivia was old enough now, but with the way her mother fussed about her, other people would think she was some spoiled kid.
Maggie regarded her with envy.
Feeling like she had never been treated like that by her parents, she could not help but feel jealous.
She refused to admit that she was inferior to Olivia.
She simply thought Olivia was born into a rich family, that was why she could stand so tall over people, while she was left to blend with the subordinates.
Maggie gritted her teeth.
"Oh, sister, why did you hurt your foot?" she asked with a smile.
"Didn't Leonard protect you?"
The truth was, she already knew about Olivia's confession earlier that day, she also knew that Leonard rejected her.
She only asked just so she could secretly mock her cousin.
In the past, Olivia really treated her as her sister.
She would share everything with Maggie, she would tell her all about her day, and she even asked her for help regarding how to make moves on Leonard.
As a result, Leonard became more and more disgusted with her...Now that she thought about it, she could clearly see the signs.Olivia sat down on the sofa.
"Why do you wanna know?" she replied.
"If you like Leonard, then I'll give him to you."
Her smile was the same as usual, as if she was still that naive girl that could be fooled easily.
However, Maggie acted shocked.
"What are you talking about, sister?" she said.
"I've never had any romantic feelings for Leonard.I've always wanted you to marry someone you like, so I'm really happy for you!"
‘‘Look at her tone” Olivia thought.
'How generous and understanding” She raised her eyebrows.
"Tell me, Maggie, do you know what your family’s greatest strengths are?"
"What is it?"
Olivia cleared her throat.
"You're father is shameless and self-righteous,'' she started to say, "and your mother is so greedy it makes me absolutely speechless."
She sneered glaring at her cousin.
"And you are a vain and self-serving hypocrite."
No one knew how much she hated this family.
She wished she could kill Maggie now! Compared to what her family had done to hers, she felt as if a few words were not enough.
Maggie was surprised, her face scrunching.
"Sister, how can you say that.."
Olivia looked her up and down, ignoring what she was saying.
From head to toe, she was dressed in clothes that cost ridiculous amounts of money.
"Alright, stop acting,'' she said.
"My dad invited you here to our house, and he treated you as his own.Now that you've had your taste of LC City, I think you should leave now.” Hearing her mock them about their thick skin, Uncle Donald and his wife, Madam Sophie, grimaced.
"Olivia, what are you talking about?"
Madam Sophie asked, waving her shopping bags.
"Are you saying we're taking advantage of your family?"
Olivia instantly laughed.
"Isn't that so?"
Everyone had thought they were tactful and gentle, but they could not restrain themselves from advancing toward Olivia.
Maggie rushed forward to stop her parents.
"Mom, Dad," she said, "don't be mad.I'm sure Olivia didn't mean what she said; it's our fault that we brought it up.Why don't we go..."
She almost burst into tears.
Olivia looked coldly.
Yes, retreating was Maggie's favorite trick.
Seeing them like that, she did not even feel a single ounce of pity for them Madam Enya intervened.
"Let's stop this” she said.
"Olivia doesn't know what she's talking about.You guys stay here, please."
The Petersons relaxed, but they eyed Olivia with resentment.
"We took care of you when you were a child, now you don't even see us as family."
"Enough!" Madam Enya shouted.
"Shopping must have been tiring for you, hurry and go rest in your rooms, please."
Olivia almost laughed again.
Her mother's personality had always been like this; the gentle woman who treated everyone fairly and kindly.
But no matter how gentle a person is, they would always have someone who they wanted to protect most, and in Madam Enya’'s case, those were Olivia and Oscar.
It was pretty obvious by the way she had spoken to the Petersons.
This had left Uncle Donald and Madam Sophie speechless.
Anger built up in their chest but they did not dare say anything else.
Just then, the sound of cars was heard from outside.
"Master Clements is back,'' a servant announced.
Dressed in a straight suit, Master Langston Clements walked in the house.
"Brother, look at your spoiled daughter,’’ Uncle Donald immediately complained, as if he had just seen his personal savior.
"She actually wants to kick us out!"
Madam Sophie also fueled the fire.
"She said we are just outsiders, she added.
"Ah...it's a pity my parents-in-law died early, otherwise, she would have been punished immediately!"
"Uncle” Maggie cried.
"I must have offended my sister, so she scolded us."
Master Lansgston's eyebrows immediately furrowed.
He had always valued affection more than anything.
To him, eating with three more people was just a matter of spending a little more money.
After all, they were his family, so there was no need to think too much about it.
Just as he was about to admonish his daughter, the moment he saw Olivia, he panicked.
"Hey, hey, girl, what's the matter, why are you crying? Who bullied you? I'll beat him to death!"
Master Langston was an influential figure in the business world, and his career was flourishing. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
But his only weaknesses were also his advantages: his wife, daughter, and son.
Nothing could compare to seeing tears in his daughter's eyes.
"She's just crying,’ Uncle Donald said.
"It's just tears.Why are you so anxious?"
"Just tears?"
Master Langston demanded.
"These are pearls, diamonds!"
Olivia, who wanted to cry when she saw her father, could not stop her tears when she heard this.
In her previous life, her father's black hair had already turned half white.
At that time, the Clements Enterprises had encountered a major crisis, but she was still ignorant and was focused on her situation with Leonard.
She had angered him, causing him to be hospitalized, and in the end, Maggie had pulled his oxygen tube.
Nothing was the same after that.
But now, her father was back in his forties.
He was in his prime and was in good health.
He was still alive.
She jumped into his arms and whispered in his ears, "Dad, I miss you so much..."
