Chapter 252
Even After Death
Olivia looked up. A strong body had appeared before her. Ethan was grabbing Chloeâs hand.
If he had been respectful of Chloe before, he wasnât now. He didnât bother to hide the coldness in his
eyes. âArenât you going too far, Ms. Parker?â
Chloe had always lived in a pampered environment. Ethanâs grip was hurting her wrist so much that
she frowned. âEthan, Iâm helping you here. What are you doing?â
âHelping me?â Ethan sneered, but he didnât let go. Instead, he tightened his grip.
He said, âI donât like anyone meddling in my affairs, understand?â
Chloe was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes. She nodded repeatedly. âYes, I get it now.
Just let go of me.â âMs. Parker, look properly at the person in front of you. Sheâs your real daughter!â
With that, Ethan pushed her hand away.
Two trails of tears appeared on Chloeâs face. It was all because of Ethan.
She looked at Olivia with an even fiercer expression. She transferred the pain Ethan caused her onto
Olivia.
âLook, itâs all your fault. If you could stay out of trouble like Marina does, I wouldnât have to worry about
you.â
Putting a hand over her stomach, Olivia was so pissed that her blood boiled.
âYouâve been gone from my life for more than a decade. Tell me, when have you ever worried about
me?â
Instead of feeling guilty, Chloe got even angrier. âNo matter what, youâre still my daughter. I think about
you every day. How can you be so heartless? Goodness, how did Jeff raise youââ
This time, before Chloe could finish her sentence, Olivia grabbed a cup from the table. It was still hot to
the touch.
She didnât care, though. She just wished that she could just slam it on Chloe. But when she aimed it at
Chloeâs face, she hesitated.
âIâm warning you, donât mention my dad. Youâre not worthy!â
Startled by Oliviaâs actions, Chloe couldnât say a word.
âY-You⦠Are you trying to hit me?â
âIf you
mention my dad again, this cup will land right on your head. I mean it.â
Putting a hand to her chest, Chloe went pale as she pointed at Oliviaâs face. âYou terrible daughter!â
Ethan knew that Chloe had heart problems. Realizing that the situation had worsened, he pulled Olivia
to the side and sat her down.
âMs. Parker, drink some tea and calm down. Iâll explain this matter to you later.â
Seeing that even Chloeâs lips had changed color, Olivia stopped herself from speaking.
Also, she was quite interested in Ethanâs explanation.
Taking a sip of tea, Chloe calmed down.
âEthan, forgive me for being nosy, but men should be loyal. Since youâve already chosen Marina, you
should stop hesitating. Itâs harmful for both women.â
â
After a pause, she continued, âI know that youâre a devoted man. Perhaps you canât let go of Liv, and
you think that youâve wronged her.
âYou can make it up to her in other ways that wonât hurt Marina. You have to understand that Liv is
someone from your past now. Marina is the only woman you should spend the rest of your life with.â
Suppressing the annoyance in his heart, Ethan let out a heavy sigh. He interrupted Chloeâs words that
didnât seem to end as he
couldnât stand to hear them.
âMs. Parker, I understand. You think that Oliviaâs presence will cause discomfort, right? Then she wonât
have to come to work starting tomorrow.â
Olivia turned to look at him. âWhat did you say?â
Ethan said slowly, âYouâre fired.â
