Chapter 172 In Her Imagination, Her Crush Would Kick Open the Door...
"What are we here for? Of course, we're here to visit the patient!" Edith raised the fancy fruit basket in her hand and walked in without even knocking on the door.
Olivia, who was resting, sat up upon hearing the commotion.
In an instant, Edith's face showed a pained expression. "Oh my dear, Olivia, let me have a look. How did my poor little girl get hurt like this? I feel so sorry for you."
Adeline stood by, sneering.
From childhood to adulthood, she had never heard Edith show such concern for her.
But now she suddenly cared about someone else's daughter.
Well, forgot about it. The last time they met, she had already severed the mother-daughter relationship with Edith.
She couldn't be bothered with it now.
Olivia frowned and looked at Edith and Viola. "How did you know I was injured?"
"It was on the internet!" Edith blurted out without thinking.
Viola chimed in, "Didn't you know? The gossip spread like wildfire. And at first, there were reports from a public account, saying that you were abused by the young master of the Burke Family, saying that he was into kinky stuff like playing with whips in bed... Reporters even captured you leaving the hotel room together!"
As soon as their voices fell, Victoria burst in, glaring fiercely at Edith and her daughter.
"Why are you telling her all this?"
Olivia's face turned pale, and she quickly trembled, taking out her phone to check the news mentioned by Edith and her daughter.
Adeline grabbed her hand. "No need to look. Your Uncle Curtis and Max arranged for people to delete it as soon as possible."
"Max?" Olivia looked up at Adeline.
Adeline nodded. "He should have helped. That's what I heard."
Olivia stood frozen in place.
Edith, seeing this, quickly instigated, "Olivia, don't be like this. I am really worried about you."
Victoria became impatient and interrupted Edith. "Is the show over? Finish it and leave!"
"No, actually..." Edith sighed, and her words were not yet finished.
She took a deep breath and said, "I actually came here to give you a warning." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
As she spoke, she looked at Adeline and said, "This person is an unlucky star, a disaster. Olivia, such a good girl, got involved in this, and it's related to my eldest daughter."
Adeline laughed angrily, "Edith, what do you want to say?"
Edith, upon hearing Adeline call her by her name, exploded.
"Adeline, you're becoming more and more disrespectful! You dare to call me by my name! And don't you understand what I'm saying? It's because of your bad fortune. Whoever is with you will never have a good life! Your bad luck affects the people around you! Olivia is an example!"
Viola also whispered in agreement, "Yes, Olivia, you should stay away from my sister. When I slept with her once as a child, I broke my leg the next day. The kitten I raised died the next day when she touched it once. My sister's bad fortune is really... not good."
Saying that, Edith pushed Viola forward, "But Viola is a lucky star. As soon as she was born, our family received a big order. Believe me, sometimes you really can't ignore things like metaphysics! Besides, you and Viola are the same age. You can benefit from each other."
Victoria seemed persuaded and nodded, "Yes! Olivia, listen to what they're saying. The original plan wasn't like this, and it's all because of Adeline's bad luck. Otherwise, you wouldn't be in such a miserable state."
"You all shut up!" Olivia stood up straight, grabbed her clothes, and walked out.
Victoria grabbed her, "Olivia, you're still injured! Where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Max. I can't accept this! I want to ask him." Olivia shook off Victoria's hand and rushed out of the hospital. She hailed a car and went straight to the Powell Family.
As soon as she walked in, she saw Max sitting in the living room as if he had anticipated her arrival.
Olivia looked at Max's face, the face she had loved for so many years, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.
"Max, I want to ask you... Why didn't you come to save me?"
As she spoke, a woman in a revealing nightgown came downstairs, calling out in a sweet voice.
"Max"
