Chapter 45

Ethan had an indescribable depression in his heart, but even so, he still had to continue.

“Since you’ve heard it, I can’t be bothered to look for you anymore.” His tone suddenly turned cold.

“The most important thing in life is to do your job. For so many years, Emma has been the one who lives in the Taylor family. Don’t you feel ashamed that you got the Taylor family’s shares without doing anything?”

Olivia didn’t speak.

She was silent for a moment and thought for a moment. That sounded right.

Hence, she nodded. “Yes, I really shouldn’t have taken the Taylor family’s shares.”

Ethan was dumbfounded again.

Why didn’t she play by the rules again?

Ethan did not know how to continue this topic. Logically speaking, Olivia should refute him and say that she should take the shares. This way, he could be righteous and give many reasons to refute her.

In the end, she admitted it just like that!

Ethan was helpless and could only change the topic. “There’s also the engagement. The person I’ve set my eyes on is Emma. Not everyone can replace her casually. I hope you know your place. I won’t pay any attention to you.”

This time, Olivia did not admit it. Instead, she looked up and glanced at him indifferently.

Ethan immediately felt embarrassed as if he was being sized up like a good. It was as if he was not a living person at all but an object in her Ethan subconsciously frowned. He did not like this feeling. eyes.

Olivia had always been mild–mannered and rarely changed her emotions. She was not willing to fuss over many things.

However, this did not mean that she was willing to tolerate others provoking her again and again and bullying her.

She had already tolerated Emma and Ethan, but they did not take her tolerance seriously. Instead, they thought that she was weak and easy to bully.

Olivia’s thoughts were simple and direct.

Since they didn’t understand what she meant and didn’t understand human nature, she shouldn’t treat them as people. She should treat them like dogs. An animal like a dog would not dare to extend its claws when it was beaten ruthlessly and in pain!

“Who were the two people engaged?”

Olivia suddenly spoke. She was still expressionless and cold, but her aura suddenly changed. She was domineering and oppressive.

Ethan’s expression changed. Feeling that he was being suppressed by Olivia, he forced himself to speak. “The ones who made the engagement you and me, but…”

Before he could finish, he was interrupted.

Olivia was clearly impatient with him and said directly, “Since it’s just the two of us, it’s easy.”

When Emma heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She thought that Olivia was going to snatch her engagement away, but then she heard the next sentence.

Olivia said, “Since you’re unwilling and I’m unwilling, let’s cancel the engagement!”

What was Olivia doing?

Ethan and Emma were both stunned.

Emma reacted quickly and immediately said, “Olivia, what are you talking about? This was decided by the two families. How can it be canceled just like that?”

Ethan also spoke in a mocking tone. “Who do you think you are? How can you cancel it just like that?”

Upon hearing this, Olivia suddenly lowered her eyes and chuckled. When she looked up, her eyes were filled with nobility and arrogance. “I will let you see it.”

Upon hearing this, Emma suddenly had a bad feeling. She subconsciously apologized, “Olivia, don’t…

don’t be angry. It’s all my fault. You didn’t snatch my things. Everything is yours.”

“Emma.” Ethan pulled her over and shielded her behind him. He said disdainfully, “Let her go. I don’t believe that she, who has been lost for 18 years, has the right to interfere in the engagement between the two families.”

“I’m indeed not qualified.” Olivia looked up. “But I don’t think the Turner family is willing to accept an illegitimate daughter.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Emma suddenly looked up. Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared at Olivia.

How would Olivia know?

Olivia ignored Emma and said, “A person without any status…”

She wanted to say that it was not presentable, but she felt that this sentence was not very appropriate.

Olivia did not have the habit of humiliating other people’s mothers.

Hence, she changed her words. “Will the Turner family accept a daughter who has no status and is raised outside?”

Ethan was already dumbfounded. He stared blankly at Emma, not knowing how to react.

Emma clenched her fists tightly and stared at Olivia. She said word by word, “How did you know?”

How was that possible? It was impossible. Olivia couldn’t possibly know! Emma could not figure it out.

Ordinary people would not guess her relationship with Samuel. Her looks were similar to Evelyn’s, and she did not look like Samuel at all. Those who had seen her would not consider her as an illegitimate daughter.

“Is that so hard to guess?” Olivia asked calmly. “In the Taylor family, only Samuel, Amelia, and David are biased toward you unconditionally. David is young and has a childhood friendship with you. Amelia treats you as a lost daughter because she was mentally deranged back then, but Samuel is strange.”

Men were careless and were often not at home. Adult men should be more distant from their adopted daughters. As the saying went, a grown woman shouldn’t be too close to her father. Moreover, the two of them were not related by blood.

Samuel’s actions did not make sense at all.

Emma began to tremble. She looked at Olivia with surprise and fear.

For such a long time, Olivia actually knew everything but did not say a word.

What a deep scheme!

“What do you want?” Emma could no longer maintain the gentle and magnanimous expression on her face. She revealed the ruthlessness that she shared with Evelyn. “Expose me?”

Emma sneered. “Don’t forget that your disappearance back then caused Mother to lose her mind.

Aren’t you afraid of exposing the truth and hurting her again?”

Olivia lowered her eyes and seemed to be in a dilemma.

Upon seeing this, Emma was overjoyed and immediately became aggressive. “Grandpa knows my identity. Even Grandpa tacitly acknowledges my existence. Do you still want to expose it and cause trouble in the Taylor family? Mother’s body can’t withstand torture. If anything really happens, the Green family will not let you off. Grandpa and William will also have a grudge against you!”

“You’re right,” Olivia said.

Emma could not help but rejoice. She had finally convinced Olivia.

However, before this joy could spread, Olivia suddenly turned to Ethan.

“You saw it.” Olivia’s tone was calm. “Now, other than Karen, I’m sure you don’t want to marry such a scheming and thick–skinned person.”

Oh no! Emma’s heart sank.

She was so focused on preventing Olivia from telling the truth that she forgot that Ethan was also here.

In Ethan’s heart, she had always been pure, kind, educated, and reasonable. If he knew that she had long known her background and shamelessly cheated Amelia of the Green family’s shares, he would definitely hate her.

At the thought of this, Emma panicked. She subconsciously looked at Ethan pleadingly, but Ethan did not even look at her. He turned around and left.

His back view was cold and disappointed.

“Ethan!” Emma was in despair.

It was over. Everything was over.

She glared angrily at Olivia.

Olivia lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. Her tone was indifferent. “I told you not to provoke me.”

Emma was very smart and immediately realized. “So this is your goal!”

Olivia had never thought of exposing her. Previously, Olivia had exposed her background only to make her panic and give herself away. From the beginning to the end, Olivia’s goal was to destroy her engagement with Ethan.

Olivia ignored her and walked around her to the door. When Olivia passed by her, Olivia said, “I hope you can behave yourself.”

Olivia did not like to beat around the bush and rarely made a move. However, if she did, she would definitely hit the enemy’s weak spot!
