CHAPTER 578 - OLIVIA THE CRAZY BITCH
“Of course. Mommy and Daddy are super close!” Colton replied confidently.
Natalia smiled weakly. It was obvious she didn’t agree with what Colton said.
Colton stared at Natalia and spoke with a seriousness unbefitting someone his age, “Auntie Natalia, please don’t tell Mommy about what happened today.”
Natalia frowned and thought, ‘Of course he’d take Noah’s side. The man literally raised him.’ She didn’t agree to Colton’s request, “Your Mommy deserves to know about this.”
However, Colton was adamant, “We’ll tell her when the time is right. This is a family matter. You shouldn’t intervene.” The way his face tensed up slightly resembled his father.
“Fine, let me first take you all home then.” Even though Natalia was unwilling to let off the man who tricked her, she had promised Madeline that she would escort her children back and that was what she was going to do.
Mackenzie exchanged glances with Colton, then asked, “Auntie Natalia, what brings you here today?”
Their mother had told them that Natalia was someone completely devoted to academic research. Where would someone like her find the time to come to a dance?
“Your Mommy was the one who invited me.” Natalia shrugged her shoulders helplessly. They were right to assume that she wouldn’t be interested in dancing, but Madeline had personally invited her, telling her that it was a good outlet for stress. That was why she willingly agreed.
Mackenzie frowned and shook her head, “Lately, Daddy has been wanting nothing more than to spend every waking moment with Mommy. It’s unlikely that he would let Mommy ask you out.”
“Why waste our breath? Let’s just find Daddy and ask him what’s the deal with that lady!” Thomas didn’t see a point to their long conversation and was already impatiently dragging Colton away.
Mackenzie stopped him and said, “Do you think Daddy will let himself be found?”
Back then, she could tell that the woman in her father’s embrace was very vigilant with their surroundings. It was obvious that she didn’t want anyone to find out about their relationship.
She was familiar with such premises back when she was still in acting.
She looked up at Natalia and asked, “Auntie Natalia, can you show me the message Mommy sent you?” Mackenzie speculated that someone had probably tricked Natalia into coming here.
Natalia could also sense something was amiss from Mackenzie’s question and hurriedly handed her phone over. After a quick glance, Mackenzie surmised, “This is not Mommy’s number. Somebody changed your contact settings.”
Colton shot a glance over as well. Indeed, it wasn’t their mother’s number.
“Did you get on someone’s bad side recently? Someone who’s related to Mommy.”
Natalia’s head was completely filled with numbers and it took her a while to sift through her own
memories. Eventually, she found a lead hidden in the corner of her mind.
“Ms. Olivia…”
“What’s she doing here too?” Thomas blurted.
“What do you mean?” Natalia asked in confusion.
Thomas raised his hand and pointed towards the right. Lo and behold, was the person in question not standing right there?.
She was in the middle of an argument with two men who were obviously a couple of unsavory characters. Olivia had angered the two and they proceeded to rip her mask off, pointing their fingers at her as they shouted threateningly.
As they were quite a distance away, their conversation was difficult to hear.
When Natalia saw what was happening, she felt a surge of anger. ‘Wasn’t that the guy that harassed her?’ she thought. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She remembered what he had said before, “We’re going to hand her over as a present to someone anyway. Why don’t I have a go before that?”
She realized that Ms. Olivia was the one who instructed the man and set her up. She speculated that the person they were going to hand her over to was probably Noah.
‘She was probably resentful of the fact that she had spoken up for Madeline that day at the Quincy
household as well as how good Madeline was doing compared to her. Perhaps even more so, she hated how Noah had destroyed the Dawson family. That’s why she’s trying to cause a rift between Noah and Madeline. That way, she can sabotage their relationship, as well as distance herself from Madeline,’ Natalia figured.
What a vicious woman.
“So she’s the one behind it all. She hates Mommy, so it’s possible that Daddy was set up by her,” Colton recognized Olivia and remembered that she was previously at odds with his mother.
Both Thomas and Madeline nodded in agreement. They were sure that their father had been set up by this woman.
‘What a bad lady. We have to teach her a lesson,’ the trio thought.
As an adult, Natalia could see things from a clearer perspective. She didn’t think that Noah was set up at all. In fact, he seemed quite clear of mind at the time.
However, the events of the night were a little complicated. She didn’t want to make assumptions and ruin Noah and Madeline’s relationship, so she simply followed along with the children’s conjecture and believed that Noah was innocent.
“Let’s go and catch her!” Thomas ran off with Madeline and Colton quickly following behind.
Natalia’s reaction was slightly delayed. Afraid that the children were getting themselves into some trouble, she hurried after them as well.
The last person who even dared to make a fool of someone from the Law family was now six feet under with grass two meters tall growing over their graves.
The gang followed Olivia, who stepped out of a bar and met up with a man. The children were sure that this was her accomplice, so they set up a little ambush and surrounded them both.
After giving the two a good shock, Natalia came with a couple of sacks to put over their heads, then pushed them down.
And just like that, Olivia and the man she was with were beaten to a pulp.
Just then, the Law family cavalry arrived. Natalia had Olivia and her partner hauled onto the car. After which, she took the two of them and the three children with her to a small villa owned by the Law family.
Upon arriving at the villa, Natalia had wanted to take off the sacks on Olivia and her accomplice’s heads, but Colton quickly gestured to her to be quiet, then had her put her mask back on.
He even gave her a voice synthesizer. That way, the other party wouldn’t be able to identify who was speaking.
Natalia was surprised that a child of Colton’s age would be so thorough, but she still put on the mask and voice synthesizer without question.
Removing the sacks on their victim’s heads, the gang was not surprised to see Olivia. Natalia however, was shocked to find out that the other person had turned out to be Ezra.
Had the two of them not come from some of the most prestigious families in Imperia and thus would often come into contact, Natalia would have been barely able to recognize that the badly beat up man was none other than Ezra Gillian.
Ezra had definitely fallen on hard times for sure. He had found out some private information regarding Madeline after much difficulty and was planning to stir things up so that he could steal her puzzle piece. However, Noah was able to catch on to him right as he had made his move. Not only was he beaten half to death because of that, his grandfather had even grounded him for half a year.
He was utterly indignant and slipped out of the house, seeking a way to get back at Noah and Madeline. It was then that he bumped into a ‘comrade’, which happened to be Olivia. She had told him that she was planning to drug Noah and Madeline, then have people come and beat them up.
As for what Ezra planned to do with them afterwards, she would leave it up to him.
However, before he even got a chance to do anything, the people who were supposed to kidnap ‘Noah’ and ‘Madeline’ got taken care of. Afraid that trouble would find its way back to him, he had tried to sneak away, but was ultimately caught by Olivia.
‘This Olivia bitch definitely has a couple of screws loose,’ Ezra thought. She wanted him to send more men over to find the unconscious ‘Noah’ and ‘Madeline’. She proposed that kidnapping the two would allow them to not only fulfill their revenge, but also make some money off the ransom.
‘F*** this shit. Do I look like a f***ing beggar?’ he thought.
Ezra declined her straight out, but then the two of them got caught while they were in the middle of an
argument. He thought, ‘Damn it all. If I hadn’t wasted my time wrestling this woman, I would’ve been able to escape.’
