Chapter 399 Let's See Who Will Laugh in the End

“I have never overestimated myself, but you seem to underestimate my husband's ability. Do you

think he would willingly be Meyer's puppet? Ms. Ophelia, based on what you say, why do I feel

like...” Olive paused deliberately and she let out a swift and fierce gaze afterward, “If anything

happens to the Hoyle Group, seems like the Meyer family would be responsible for it.”

Ophelia’s expression slightly changed but she quickly covered it. She felt guilty but kept her

imposing manner, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

"Whether it's nonsense or not, I think Ms. Ophelia, you know it better, right?” Olive toned down a

bit. She began to think deeply about a problem. Did she think too highly of this woman back then?

Now that she thought about it, aside from the support of her splendid family background there's

nothing awesome about her.

A smart woman wouldn't deliberately come here to talk about this so-called intimidating speech

which wasn't persuasive at all. She was no longer the naive girl. The time when she believed

whatever someone would say had long gone.

Seeing that she wasn't provoked, Ophelia was slightly flustered and exasperated, “Olive, when will

willing to let Alan go? Are you waiting for him to be ruined before willingly leaving him?”

“He is my husband, the father of my daughter. If I ruin him, won't I ruin myself? Do you think I'm

that stupid? On the contrary, I'm afraid that the one that really wants to ruin him is hiding behind

his back, with a few small movements. There's a popular saying, a wolf in a sheep clothing, I think

it's talking about that kind of people.” Olive said coldly.

"You..." Ophelia’s finger almost poked her nose

Olive calmly put it down and interrupted her with a smile, “Ms. Ophelia, I didn't explicitly say that it

was you. Why are you being anxious? Is it possible that you feel guilty about it?”

Ophelia covered her guilty conscience by using her anger, “What if I'm hiding something? Olive

Steele, I'm telling you. I love Alan no less than you.”

“I believe you do” Olive didn't want to deny her feelings. This woman came from a family that only a

few people could attain. If not because she was supported by love, she wouldn't be so persistent

and clingy.

However, she still felt that no matter how much a person loved, she shouldn't justify any outrageous

things. Moreover, love wasn't something that could be forced on someone.

Back then, this woman had snatched her beloved man from her side. Today, she would protect him.

In a few words, don't think that she could waver their determination of being together. No matter

how hard it was, she would go through it with him. Unless, one day he personally says that he

doesn’t want her anymore, then she will leave.

Ophelia said, “Love is a fierce war between you and me. Even if you win today, it doesn't mean that

you'll still win tomorrow.”

“For you, you don't mind that love is a place for a bloody war. But for me, love is a place for both

men and women with a mutual love for each other and walk a long life together. Ms. Ophelia, if you

kept insisting on creating problems, then I can only keep you company. But I can tell you that, the

one that loses definitely won't be me.” Olive had to admit that her growing self-confidence was

because Alan doted on her.

“Then you just wait and see. Watch who will laugh until the end and the one who cries definitely

won't be me.” Ophelia seemingly was certain that she would win.

Olive sighed softly, “That's also true. The trick of weeping beauty seems a bit outdated. Good luck.”

Ophelia glared at her in hatred. Her gaze was full of sarcasm and she walked away coldly. She

slammed the door loudly, as if, the whole floor could hear it.

Olive frowned, as if she was lost in thought, and stretched out afterward.

For a long time, Ophelia had been wearing a beautiful mask in front of people. Beautiful

visualization such as lovely, elegant, intellectual, sweet, and feminine was shown all over the mask.

Even when she’s in front of her, she would look domineering over the situation. It is rare for her to

look flustered and exasperated like just now.

Is it because everything has gotten out of her control? In the end, she couldn't control herself and

pretended to be a lady anymore.

After Ophelia left, almost simultaneously Norton opened the door and came in, “Olive, did that

shameless woman come to you and look for trouble again?”

Olive looked at him, an old man that blew his beard and glared, which was really funny, “Did you

see it?"

“Not only seeing but also I saw her face, looking like everyone owed her hundreds of millions and

billions. Did you mistreat her?”

Olive shrugged, “After all, I didn't let it go her way.”

Norton sat down. His palms slammed on her thigh encouragingly, “You have to teach that woman a

lesson. You don't have to be courteous with her. You are an empress now, why do you have to be

afraid of her?”

Olive burst into laughter. Recently the palace drama is popular. The old man casually came here to

have fun. He would title the nurses according to each of their temper. He could occasionally imitate

several ancient wordings that were popular on the internet. He was an old funny fellow in the

inpatient department, which brought a lot of joy in a lifeless hospital building.

“It's not that I'm afraid of her. But I have to put up a defense against the hidden tricks that she has

behind her back.” This is what she’s worried about.

Norton waved his hand, “You don't have to worry about this. That person in your family will

definitely make a proper arrangement for you.”

It wasn't wrong for him to say it. But some things needed to be prepared just in case. How could

Ophelia be someone who would've just left the matter that way? There's also the Meyer family. how

could they easily let the gone be bygone?

Olive sighed lightly. Without waiting for her to speak, Norton laughed again, “You can only think of

the bad things. Why? Don't you have enough trust in your man’s ability?”

“Of course not" She blurted out.

“Then it's enough. Let's go.” Norton stood up, urged her by pulling her hand, “Let's go up and play a

few rounds with me. You will be discharged soon. It would be hard to see you having such leisure in

the future.”

“Don’t I work for you? Is it possible that you want your employees to be lazy every day?” Olive

smiled wittily.

Norton became unhappy and shouted, “What do you mean by working for me? You are almost

practically the boss of Angel Holiday Hotel now.”

Olive smiled, “What kind of boss am I? I bet I'm just a copycat version.”

Angel Holiday Hotel belongs to the Geve family. She never had the intention to covet it. Taking

advantage of someone's misfortune, wasn't something that she could do.

Inside the elevator, Norton's expression suddenly became a bit dignified, “Olive, do you think I have

a slight ability to recognize someone's ability?"

“Huh?” Olive couldn't react for a moment.

“I mean, don't you think I was able to notice that big piece of Alan who was behind you?” Norton

was used to speaking bluntly and didn't like to beat around the bush, and even made an

exaggerated move. Although he was trapped in this hospital, he still knew about some rumor

outside.

Olive smiled and shook her head. She had never thought so, “Uncle Norton, you are not someone

like that. If it weren't for trust, you wouldn't entrust Angel Holiday Hotel to us. I think that what you

should be worried about is, whether we would take advantage of Angel Holiday Hotel, scheming in

secret, and doing embezzlement.”

"Absolutely not!” Norton waved his hand in a fearless gesture, “How is it possible? Your family and

that fellow, Alan, have such a huge property. Such a small property as mine couldn't even compare

to his. He won't even spare a glance at it.”

"He might not spare a glance, but I'm different.” Olive laughed

"How different are you?”

"For example, I've never experienced the treatment that came from money and power. Suddenly, it

was all in front of me. Of course, my greed would've grown and I wanted to have everything within

my hands.” Olive spoke seriously, as if it was completely true.

“Fortunately I had lung cancer, not a heart disease. You don't have to intimidate me anymore. I'm

such an old man. I have looked into countless people, but I still couldn't know what kind of person

you are, kid. It's useless.”

Norton chuckled, not taking it seriously. He could only blame his body for not being able to live up

to it. In fact, he already causing trouble for people, suddenly he sighed slightly.

"Sometimes, I wonder, how good it would be if you're my missing daughter. You are so clever, filial,

and capable. You're much better my son that doesn't have any determination. We are the ones to be

blamed for spoiling him too much when he was young. Or maybe, I'm the one who heartlessly gave

away my own daughter and lost her. This is God's punishment for me.”

The surrounding froze for a moment. Olive's lips twitched, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

The elevator arrived, both of them came out, and walked at the corridor. There's a figure wandering

back and forth outside Norton's ward, causing both of them stunned for a moment, and they

stopped involuntarily.

Ellison was hesitating to know on the door. He hesitated for a while, as if he was being uncertain

In the end, Norton couldn't stand it. He rushed behind him in few steps and muttered in

displeasure, “What happened? Don't you even have the courage to meet your old man?”

Ellison was shocked by the voice that came out of nowhere. He turned around and saw his father

with Olive. A man who had always been proud and arrogant had fallen to this day. His body had

been infected by the virus and had lost a lot of weight. At this moment, he had also learned to

restraint his arrogance, and cautiously called out, “Dad”

“Didn't I tell you to be well-behaved and stay at the sanatorium? Why do you come out? If you

come here just to provoke me with some lousy ideas, be careful, I could cut off your treatment fee

and let you fend for yourself.” Norton said feeling resentful, as he opened the door, and walked into

his ward.

Olive also followed him. When she walked past Ellison, she looked at him deeply. This man,

compared to his previous energetic spirit, now he looked like a frozen spiritless eggplant that hung

his head.

After they walked in, Olive closed the door and looked at both awkward father and son. She quietly

shook her head and poured a glass of water for both of them.

Norton took a seat and didn’t wait for Ellison to speak, “What did the doctor say there?”

Although his expression was cold and indifferent, there's still a hint of concern in his words. After all,

he is his son whom he had personally raised for so many years. It was no different than being his

own son.

“The infection hasn't continued to grow in advance. It was still under control. Although there's still

no cure for this disease, if we continue to do the treatment, and strengthen the immunity, there

shouldn't be any major problem in the next ten years.” Ellison replied carefully, as he quietly and

frequently checked on his father's expression.
