Chapter 224
How could this be?
The entire Irving room fell into dead silence.
Liam’s lips moved. He wanted to say something, but it was as if something was stuck in his throat, and
he could not utter a single word. Cathy was still holding Maddie’s phone in her hand. Her eyes seemed
to be covered in ayer of mist, and she had an extremely confused expression
She recalled her tough tone and words to Olivia.
She said that the parents were always right. No matter how bad or how wrong the parents were, they
gave birth to the child, and the child should be filial
But now…
Cathy gripped the phone tightly, her face full of embarrassment.
Mr. Green and Maddie lowered their eyes. Shocked by this sudden change, they were at a loss for
words for a long time.
Amelia was even more confused, and her mind waspletely nk.
She panicked, and she was helpless.
All along, she had always treated Olivia as her daughter. Even if she did not like or dote on her, she
had never denied the fact that Olivia was her daughter.
She took all of her requests, instructions, and orders to Olivia for granted. To her, they were only right
and proper.
Olivia was her daughter. She gave birth to Olivia. She was Olivia’s mother.
As a mother, of course, she had the right and reprimand to teach her daughter.
The thought of Olivia not being her daughter had never even crossed her mind at all!
All of Amelia’s self–righteousness dissipated at this moment.
Apart from that, there was also a faint pain in her heart.
This pain was very tiny, but it silently expanded and fermented from her heart. In the end, it slowly
spread to her entire body, making even her

bones ache.
Amelia bit her lower lip hard. She felt as if a piece of her heart had been dug out.
The girl that she had ever had any expectations of, and even hated, finally had nothing to do with her!
Amelia slowly curled up her body. Her heart ached so much that her vision turned ck.
Finally, no longer able to endure the palpitating pain, she suddenly fainted.
“Mom!”
“Amelia!”
“Amelia!”
After a series of exmations, people came and went in a chaotic
manner.
After an unknown period of time, Amelia gradually woke up. In a daze, she heard an argument.
“Mom, are you crazy? At a time like this, you still want to talk about
Olivia? She’s no longer the Taylor family’s daughter. The Taylor family doesn’t want her to be part of the
family, right? Isn’t this situation exactly what we wanted?”
“Maddie!” Cathy was furious. Her face was enraged. “Whose side are you on?”
Maddie crossed her arms and said coldly, “I’ll stand on whichever side is right. The New York Times
has alreadye to a conclusion, so what’s the point of dwelling on it? Do you think it’s so easy to do
a paternity test? If Olivia doesn’t agree, you won’t be able to do it!”
Cathy’s face darkened. “I don’t care. Think of a way. Don’t you have a good rtionship with Olivia? Go
to Gorshire and think of a way to get her hair. We must do a paternity test!”
Mr. Green also said, “Maddie, we’re not forcing you. Your sister may sometimes say harsh things, but
you know she’s soft–hearted. She keeps saying that she doesn’t care about Olivia, but in fact, she still
misses her daughter very much. She’s not in good health to begin with. If anything happens to her
because of this, won’t you feel guilty?”
Maddie was at a loss for words.

“Maddie,” Mr. Green continued. “Your sister has already lost Olivia once. Can you bear to let her lose
Olivia a second time?”
The anger umted in Maddie’s heart exploded with a bang when Mr. Green said this.
Her expression became serious. She looked up at her father and said word by word, “I can bear it. Why
can’t I? At your birthday banquet, she personally said that Olivia is not her daughter. How can she go
back on her words now?
“When Olivia cared about her, she ignored Olivia and treated Olivia cruelly and coldly. When Olivia
became utterly disappointed in her, she regretted it and felt terrible. Why is she so shameless? Now
that Olivia doesn’t care about her at all, she suddenly acts like Olivia is so important to her!”
“Smack!” A loud p was heard.
Cathy’s chest heaved violently, and her eyes were extremely sharp and furious. “Maddie, how can you
say that about your sister? Do you have a conscience? A heart? She’s your sister, and she’s sick. You
should take care of her and understand her. How can you say such things? You disappoint me!”
Maddie tilted her head and did not move for a long time.
After a while, she slowly turned her head.
Looking at her furious mother, sheughed self–depreciatingly. “Am I not understanding enough? Have
I not given her enough understanding?”
Maddie blinked, wanting to blink away the tears in her eyes. However, her eyes only became more and
more wet.
She took a deep breath and said with difficulty. “Mom, I’m already in my forties. I’ve been in charge of
the Green family for more than a decade. Do you still think of me as a child?”
Maddie did not want to be so direct about it, but she could not help it.
“Why don’t you let the Taylor family find Olivia? Why don’t you let William find Olivia?” Maddie sneered.
“Because you know that this matter is very strange. To be able to take the paternity test report from the
Taylor family without leaving a trace, erase the records of the identification center, and let the New York
Times confirm the matter means that the person behind Olivia is very powerful. It is so powerful that the
Taylor family is unwilling to go against it, let alone dare to fight it.

“So, you’re telling me to go find Olivia. Even if I anger her, I can still use the rtionship between her
and me to ease things. If I really can’t, then you’ll push me out to take the me. Anyway, Yosef and
Calvin are already old enough to enter the Green Group.”
These words were too hurtful.
However, Maddie had been holding them in for more than 20 years. She had to let it out.
Back then, she already had a boyfriend of equal status and was about to get engaged. In the end,
something happened to her father, and he injured his leg.
Her oldest elder brother Dennis liked to draw, waszy and naive, and could not support the Green
Group at all. Her second oldest elder brother Tony loved to y and mess around, was wild, and did
not want to be restrained by responsibility.
Thus, what choice did she have? She could only step up and take charge!
She was forced to break up with her boyfriend because her father was worried that after she got
married, she would side with her husband’s family and give the Green Group to them.
She loved to y piano so much, but she stopped ying because she did not have the time nor the
energy to. She had to put all her focus on the Green Group.
Initially, Maddie did not think too much about it. Even though she realized that her parents were biased
towards her sister, she did not take it seriously because she loved her sister and everyone in the Green
family.
However, the longer she took charge of the Green Group, the more conflict she had with her father. As
time went on, her heart gradually turned cold.
Tony had never given her the slightest respect at home. He even got physical and wanted to chase her
out.
Maddie refused to believe that her father did not know about that.
She was certain that he just pretended not to know and allowed Tony to humiliate her.
In the past two years, after her nephew Yosef had returned from studying abroad and entered the
Group, the conflict between her and Yosef had only be more and more intense.

In fact, it gradually got so bad that it became almost irreconcble. Although her father appeared to be
impartial on the surface, he privately gave all his shares to Yosef. He even reprimanded her several
times in front of everyone at the shareholders‘ meeting to damage her prestige. It was not that Maddie
did not want to let go of the Green Group, She was already 44 years old this year and had never been
married, let alone had children. To her, her nephews were no different from her own children.
She really wanted to nurture her nephew to inherit the Green Group, but Yosef was too young now, and
his methods were too immature. Thus, she was worried and could not let him take charge of
everything.
Unexpectedly, because of this worry, she was hated by Yosef and suspected by her father.
Cathy did not expect her daughter to have so manyints.
“Maddie…” She called out with a helpless expression. “Why would you think of your father and me like
that? I just thought that you had a good rtionship with Olivia and could get her hair, so I told you to
go. Moreover, I only hit you because I was too anxious and worried about your sister. I didn’t n to let
you be the scapegoat and take the me.” “Also, about Ronald,” Cathy exined anxiously. “You know
how much of an idiot he is. You’re so sensible. Why lower yourself to his level?”
Maddie lowered her eyes, and her eyshes fluttered. After a while, she said, “I won’t look for Olivia.”
“Maddie…” Cathy frowned. “What happened to you? Why are you so selfish now? Your sister is sick.
As her sister, why aren’t you willing to help her with this?”
Maddie looked up and said calmly, “Haven’t I helped her enough? She’s already in her fifties and is no
longer a little girl. Some things should be handled by herself. She can’t rely on others anymore.”
Hearing this, Cathy was even more disappointed. She just pointed at Maddie, but could note up
with a single word to say even after a long time.
At this moment, Mr. Green, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke.
“Maddie, you have to understand that without me, without the Green family, you wouldn’t be who you
are today.

“Don’t get cocky just because people treat you as the president of the group. Sometimes, the tform
is more important than one’s ability. “Also, let me remind you that if I can give you the president of the
Green Group. I can also take it away from you.
“You say I’m unfair and biased towards Yosef, right? In that case, I’ll show you what true bias is,”
Mr. Green’s tone was cold and merciless.
Maddie was stunned. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at her father.
Then, she looked down and said in a low voice, “Alright, you don’t have to do it. I’ll resign.”
With that, she pushed the door open and left.
“Maddie!” Cathy called out. She wanted to chase after Maddie, but she was worried about the
unconscious Amelia on the bed. Thus, she could only stomp her feetprehensively.
Sheined to Mr. Green, “Why did you have to say those things? You clearly know that your
daughter has a grudge in her heart. Why did you have to provoke her?”
Mr. Green was also very surprised.
N?velDrama.Org holds this content.
He had said those words on purpose to provoke Maddie and force her to give in. After all, he always
thought that she had a soft personality and would always end up apologizing.
He did not expect her to resign directly.
After recovering from his shock, Mr. Green felt a little embarrassed.
At this moment, he was really enraged.
“Let her leave. I want to see what she can do if she leaves the Green Group.” Mr. Green snorted coldly.
Clearly, after letting her take charge of the Green Group as the president for so many years, it seemed
that it had fed her ambition.
So much so that she had forgotten that she would not be where she was today without the Green
family!
Plus, how dare she me Ronald? If it were not for the fact that Rolnad was not interested in the family
business, she would not even have had the chance to enter the Green Group.
What an ingrate!
So what if Ronald scolded her? It was not like she would lose a limb!
