Chapter 249
Even After Death
It wasnât that Olivia couldnât dodge it. Instead, Chloe was simply too fast. Olivia also didnât expect her to
do that in public.
Olivia was stunned by the slap.
In her memories, Chloe was a distant person who had always been cold to Olivia.
No matter what, Chloe had received lessons on manners since she was young. How could she hit
Olivia in public?
â Olivia covered her face, taking a deep breath to suppress the rage in her heart.
âMrs. Carlton, I think you owe me an explanation.â
âIf I had known you would turn out as shameless as this, Olivia, I wouldnât have given birth to you. Iâm
very disappointed in you!â
Chloeâs slap had ruined Oliviaâs good mood for the past two days.
Oliviaâs colleagues looked on curiously. Olivia couldnât handle the embarrassment.
âIf you have something to say, letâs talk outside.â
Chloe swept her hand away. âWhatâs the matter? Are you scared that Iâll expose what you did? I have
no idea how your father raised you. I canât believe youâve resorted to such tactics!
âHe has already cut off ties with you, but you ran after him and even joined his company!â
Olivia understood what was going on now. Marina knew that she couldnât change Ethanâs decision, so
she urged Chloe to make an appearance.
Chloe would shame Olivia in public. Then, Olivia would feel so embarrassed that she would leave the
company on her own.
This plot wasnât too cunning, but it was the most hurtful.
Olivia looked at Chloe with a hurt look on her face. âBut youâre my mother.â
She couldnât understand it. Chloe was her biological mother, but she kept siding with Marina.
Chloe knew that Marina had ruined her family, but she never scolded Marina for it. Instead, she played
along with Marinaâs plot and came to the company to cause trouble.
Marina must have told Chloe something. Chloeâs face was filled with rage as she said, âI donât have a
shameless daughter like you!â
With that, she grabbed Oliviaâs hair. âCome with me. You shouldnât be here!â
The people around them couldnât help even if they wanted to. They never thought that Oliviaâs mother
would be so fierce.
At that moment, they still didnât know Chloeâs identity.
When people from the other departments heard of this incident, they stopped working. They crowded at
the entrance of the office to watch the show.
âGo and tell Mr. Miller that youâre resigning right now. Donât you dare go out and embarrass yourself
ever again.â
âLet go!â Olivia pushed Chloe away with all her might.
Losing her balance, Chloe fell onto the ground.
She didnât make a fuss on the ground, but her words were still hurtful.
Scrambling to get up, she scolded Olivia for ruining someone elseâs family.
A few days ago, people were still spreading rumors that Olivia was involved with Ethan. Chloeâs visit
had proven this rumor.
As Chloe complained, everyone looked at Olivia in disdain.
Home-wreckers were rampant these days, and many people hated them as well.
Everyone whispered among themselves. Olivia could hear the horrible words they were saying.
The words flew at her from all directions like piercing daggers.
Those werenât the worst; the worst came from her own motherâs mouth.
Chloe would destroy Olivia for Marinaâs sake!
Rumors were like knives that would steal peopleâs lives.
Olivia couldnât defend herself. Under such circumstances, anything she said would be wrong.
No matter what she said, her motherâs words would still win over hers.
Clenching her fingers into fists, she asked Chloe a question, âWhat good do you get out of this?â
