Chapter 89

Showing off something she was not good at?

Emina’s body trembled violently. Her eyes, covered by long hair, were filled with malice and resentment.

Olivia actually said that!

Ever since she was young, this was the first time Emma had suffered such humiliation. It was as if someone had taken off her clothes in public. It made her so ashamed that she could not raise her head.

When Samuel noticed Emma’s trembling, a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.

He raised his hand and patted Emma to comfort her. However, his gaze on Olivia was filled with oppression. “Stop where it should stop. Don’t go overboard.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Daniel, who was behind Olivia. He threatened, “No man will like a woman who is too bossy. You’d better behave yourself. Be careful not to make people not dare to get close to you.”

After saying that, Samuel smiled and looked at Daniel. “I’m sorry, Mr. Sullivan. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you. My two daughters are unbecoming, especially Olivia. She’s too aggressive. This is also my fault. Because of my carelessness, she was left outside for 18 years, grew up in the marketplaces, came into contact with too many bad people, and developed her mean, bossy, and vulgar character. I’ll discipline her more in the future.”

Bossy and vulgar?

Olivia could not help but laugh out loud. She did not expect such a father to exist in this world who defamed and suppressed his biological daughter in front of everyone.

However, though she knew that Samuel was deliberately distorting and slandering her, Olivia was still a little uneasy. Her actions just now could not be said wrong. But they were indeed a little domineering.

Would Daniel think that she was too domineering and went too far?

Olivia tried to control herself. She did not turn around or look at Daniel. She forced herself to remain calm.

From the beginning until now, Daniel had been quiet. He did not say anything. It was as if it had nothing to do with him. He only leaned lazily on the sofa and tilted his head slightly as if he were watching a show or in a daze.

It was not until Samuel spoke to him that his absent–minded expression slowly recovered.

He sat up straight and looked at Samuel seriously as if he was thinking about his words.

Seeing this, Samuel smiled smugly and glanced at Olivia secretly.

“Hmph, this damn girl has a backer, so she returned to show off. Today, I will destroy your backer. Let’s see what else you can be proud of,” Samuel thought.

“Mr. Sullivan,” Samuel continued. His tone was fawning and enthusiastic. “Do you also think Olivia is too domineering? A girl should be gentle. If she’s too aggressive, she won’t be able to find a man.”

Upon hearing this, Olivia’s heart tightened. She clenched her fists tightly on the sofa. Just as she was about to retort, she heard Daniel’s lazy but attractive voice.

“I don’t think so.” Daniel curled his lips and leaned against the sofa. His slightly raised eyes were like a cold pearl, cold and shining.

“If we repay evil with good deeds, what do we repay good deeds with?” As he said this, he suddenly reached out and hooked the hair on Olivia’s shoulder.

Olivia’s hair was not long, only reaching her shoulders. Therefore, Daniel’s fingers curled around her hair twice, and then it touched her neck.

As soon as the man’s burning skin touched hers, Olivia shivered. She subconsciously wanted to turn her head, but Daniel grabbed her waist and prevented her from moving.

Immediately after, his cold and sharp words sounded in her ears. “I think Olivia is too kind. Her heart is soft and gentle. If it were me, if anyone dared to humiliate me, bully me, look down on me, or slander me, would hit back ten times and see her dead and buried!”

At this point, Daniel smiled and looked at Samuel. His tone was cold. “Mr. Taylor, yes, you need to discipline your daughter, but not Olivia, but the one beside you. Tell her not to go out and embarrass herself if she’s not that good. Other people are not as soft–hearted as Olivia. They won’t show her any mercy.

“Speaking of which, I have to thank you for your carelessness, Mr. Taylor.” Daniel’s tone changed as he talked about Olivia’s missing. “Fortunately, Olivia went missing, so she was nurtured so well. If she stayed in the Taylor family, wouldn’t she be like another daughter of yours, who is insensible, rude, arrogant, and conceited like a joke?”

Daniel’s words were mean. He did not show Samuel and Emma any respect, but Olivia could not help but smile when she heard them.

She thought that this man was just good at doing business. She did not expect him to be so good at talking.

Daniel’s words successfully silenced the entire living room. His words were harsh. Not only was he criticizing Emma’s poor upbringing, but he was also questioning the Taylor family’s upbringing.

Samuel had never been a smart person. He was immediately furious and was about to scold him.

But Liam stopped him. “Sit down.”

Liam frowned and glared at him. Then, he turned to Olivia with a smile. “I remember you learning to play the violin from your mother when you were young. I didn’t expect you to be so talented. Why didn’t you continue to study later?”

Although Liam did not like Daniel’s words, he was much more shrewd and could endure it. He quickly changed the topic and became a kind elder.

During this period, Amelia’s attention was focused on Olivia. When she heard Liam ask why she did not continue her studies, she subconsciously pricked up her ears and leaned forward, wanting to listen carefully.

Olivia lowered her eyes and looked up a moment later. Her eyes were already calm without any ripples.

“There’s no reason. I don’t like it, so I stopped learning it.” Her tone was indifferent and cold, like an ice cube that suddenly burst, instantly stabbing into Amelia’s heart.

Amelia could barely control her emotions. She instantly stood up and stumbled toward the room upstairs. “Sorry, I’m not feeling well.”

Olivia did not react at all to Amelia’s loss of composure. She was very indifferent. Her light pupils were filled with indifference.

Liam had been secretly sizing up Olivia. Seeing her indifferent expression, he heaved a long sigh in his heart.

This child’s heart was hurt after all.

Liam felt helpless.

He was too old to care that much. He could only maintain superficial harmony. He would let them handle the rest themselves.

There was no grief so great as despair. Liam didn’t want to interfere either. He just wanted it to be out of his sight.

With the help of the servants, Liam also took the elevator and left. Then, Samuel left with Emma.

After a while, everyone left. Only Daniel, Olivia, and Yvonne were left.

Yvonne took a sip of coffee and stood up. “I’m going back to my room too. Have a good chat.”

As she spoke, she turned around gently and gracefully walked up the stairs. When she reached the center of the stairs, she suddenly looked back and pretended to be surprised. “There’s something I’m a little curious about.”

Olivia looked up.

Yvonne curled her lips. Her gaze was gentle and tempting. She gently put her arms around Daniel’s body and quickly let go. “Mr. Sullivan is here for Olivia, right? It seems like you care a lot about Olivia.

But just now, when Emma made things difficult for her, and everyone looked down on her, Mr. Sullivan, why didn’t you say anything? Why didn’t you do anything to protect Olivia?

“How strange that was!” After saying this, she turned around, twisted her soft waist, and slowly went upstairs.
