Chapter 275
Even After Death
Life or death didnât matter to Olivia anymore. All she wanted was for Chloe to show that she cared
about her before she died.
She wanted to know that her waiting had not been for nothing, that she wasnât alone in this relationship.
What she wanted was actual proof of maternal love from Chloe, not just empty words of love.
Olivia couldnât see Chloeâs expression because she was blindfolded.
She began to feel uneasy. She had already lost to Marina once. She didnât want to lose a second time.
The person in the panda suit got impatient as Chloe didnât reply for a long time.
He said impatiently, âWhy is it so hard for you to pick between your daughter and stepdaughter? Since
thatâs the case, Iâll decide for you. Cut both the ropes!â
âNo! I choose Marina,â Chloe shrieked.
The guests were dumbfounded.
âDid my ears deceive me? She actually chose the stepdaughter?â
âSo thereâs actually a mother who doesnât love her daughter? My eyes have been opened.â
âYou youngsters know nothing. Her hands were tied. She married into the Carlton family.
âNaturally, she has to think about the familyâs best interest. Or else, how could she face the Carltons
after this?â
âWonât she feel guilty for sacrificing her daughter to maintain her relationship with the Carltons?â
âThe daughter abandoned by her own mother must be so heartbroken.â
The crowd couldnât possibly know how much pain Olivia was going through. But they could imagine
how sad she must be. Olivia could no longer hold back her tears after she heard Chloeâs words.
âWhy ⦠Why am I always the one who gets abandoned?â
Tears began streaking down her face. The on-lookers were on the verge of tears at the sight of her
sorrow.
Olivia didnât scream or wail. Nor did she demand an explanation.
Her heart was already in tatters, barely hanging on to life. It was the person whose love she craved the
most that landed the fatal blow.
The person was right. She did make Olivia wish she was dead.
The most painful wounds are the ones inflicted by the people you love.
When she heard what Olivia said, Chloe felt like her heart was being torn out of her chest.
Olivia moved slightly and faced Chloeâs direction.
She said, âYou already abandoned me once. Why are you abandoning me again?â
âLiv, Iâm sorry. I am sorry. But I have no choice.â
âYou say youâre sorry?â
Olivia smiled lightly and said, âI donât want to hear that youâre sorry. Thatâs what you said when you
abandoned me the first time.
âYou also claimed to have no choice back then. What about me? Did I ever have a choice?
âIf I could choose, I would rather be born into a poor family and have a mother who loves me. It would
be way better than being abandoned by you repeatedly.
âThe other kids were right. I am a motherless bastard. I shouldnât have had any hope for you.â âLiv, I
love you! I really do! But Marina is different.
âHer mother passed away early, and she never had the chance to feel her motherâs loveâ¦â
âSuch irony. She abandoned her daughter to compensate for another personâs lack of maternal love.â
The on-lookers were stunned. They couldnât believe how twisted Chloeâs logic was.
The person in the panda suit seemed satisfied with Chloeâs answer.
She then turned her attention to Ethan and asked, âMr. Miller, what about you? Ex-wife or fiancée?
âMake your choice. I am more curious about your answer than Mrs. Carltonâs.â
