Chapter 1177
Even After Death
Krystal finally started to feel fear. Her father had always been strict.
Back when the siblings were young, she saw Mason stripping Linusâ top.
Then, he had him kneel on the snow as he whipped him.
Mason tolerated her behavior repeatedly because she was a woman and didnât get to grow up by his
side.
But the incident today was the last straw. Mason had enough.
Linus rushed over after he sent the guests away. After all, no one would be in the mood for food after
an incident like that.
As soon as he stepped into the room, he heard Tatiana and Krystal crying.
âWhatâs going on?â
âLinus, youâre here just in time. Youâve always doted on me. Please talk to Dad.
He wants to disown me!â
Linus frowned. He was a little confused.
âDad, Krystal may have been in the wrong today, but isnât this too harsh of a punishment? How would
she survive on her own?â
âIf she canât survive on her own, how was Olivia able to become a renowned doctor? Her family went
bankrupt, and both her parents are dead.â As soon as he said that, Linus looked at him.
âDad, how do you know all that?â
Linusâ impression of Olivia was that she was the ex-wife that Ethan loved deeply.
He had only learned about Oliviaâs background in the past couple of days and just found out how hard
her life had been.
But Mason was able to talk about her background so casually despite only knowing of her identity
moments ago.
Naturally, Linus didnât know that Mason saw Oliviaâs face the first time Ethan brought Olivia to the
awards banquet.
Mason saw her face on the news because it was reported on a national scale.
So, he looked into Olivia in private. He only dropped it after confirming that Jeff couldnât possibly be
related to him.
Then, Olivia disappeared for three years. She finally showed up before him at the banquet.
In the past, he had only seen her on television.
Seeing her in person caused him to lose his composure because it felt like he was reunited with an old
acquaintance.
Everyone felt Masonâs attitude toward Olivia was weird.
âI donât have to explain myself to you. Krystal, Iâll give you one night to pack up. I donât want to see your
dumb face in my house from tomorrow onward.â
Tatiana wanted to try to talk Mason out of it.
âMason, sheâs my daughter after allâ¦â
Before she could finish, Mason cut her off.
âAnyone who tries to persuade me to let her stay can pack up and go with her.â
Tatiana fell silent immediately. There was no use talking to him while he was still in a bad mood.
Mason looked at Linus and said, âGet a car ready. Iâm heading out.â
Linus wasnât weak or emotional like his sister. He quickly composed himself.
âYes, father.â
âWhere are you going, Mason?â
Mason shook her arm away. âNone of your business.â
He put on his coat and walked outside.
Krystal grabbed Tatianaâs arm with tears in her eyes and pleaded with her.
âWhat do I do, Mom? Dad is furious with me.â
âItâs because of all the things youâve done. I canât help you this time. Your Dad was already on the
verge of losing it last time. Youâre really too stupid.â
Tatiana didnât understand why her daughter could be so dumb.
âI didnât want to do it either. Itâs all Yaleâs fault. He told me I couldâve exposed that bitch. I didnât know
she was Olivia.â
âYour Dad is actually seriously angry this time. Pack your stuff and go live with your grandma for a few
days.
âCome back when your fatherâs in a better mood. You can also go to the villa on the south side of the
city. Iâll send some maids to take care of you there.â
