Chapter 212


    During that period of time, Olivia had been nning for hereback.


    She attended various charity events, volunteered, and went to the impoverished mountains to film. She


    wanted to take advantage of the audience’s forgiveness and slowly return to the public’s view.


    However, after the exposure incident, the Inte was filled with merciless scolding toward her. It


    worsened her situation.


    It meant that all her previous efforts were in vain!


    Louis left the Cruise familyte the night before, leaving the Cruise family to face the terrible situation


    ahead of them.


    The living room was filled with lifeless air.


    Richard didn’t say a word and just smoked one cigarette after another.


    Although Bertha was annoyed, she did not dare to say anything at that moment. She could only endure


    the smoking and not re up.


    She turned around and met Olivia’s anxious gaze. She slowly lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.


    “Dad, quickly think of a way! Are you going to watch me get destroyed?!” Olivia red at Richard in


    frustration. “Don’t forget. I came back this time to marry into the Smith family. If I fail, our family will be


    completely doomed!”


    At the end of the day, the Cruise family’s fate depended on Olivia.


    If Louis gave up on Olivia, it would be equivalent to the Smith family giving up on the Cruise family.


    When Richard heard her words, there was finally a glimmer of light in his indifferent eyes. He slowly put


    out the cigarette in his hand and said. “What are you afraid of? We’re not the ones who should be


    worried now.”


    “What do you mean?” Olivia frowned and looked at her father in confusion.


    Richard’s lips curled into a deep smile. “The people who should be worried now is the Smith family.”


    Seeing that Olivia still did not understand, he exined with patience,


    “The Smith family is in the same boat as us now. Other than working together to tide over the


    difficulties, they have no other choice.”


    “Think about it. The matter between you and Louis has already caused an uproar. In the eyes of


    outsiders, the matter between you and Louis is basically set in stone. If the Smith family gives up on


    you right now, it will only cause them to be scolded. So, they won’t leave you to face it alone.”


    “Louis is the Smith family’s only hope. Moreover, didn’t you always say Louis is obedient to you?”


    Upon hearing that, the panic on Olivia’s face gradually dissipated.


    At that moment, the Smith family was in an abyss of suffering.


    Old Mr. Smith did not sleep for the entire night. It was as if he had aged ten years overnight.


    He was no longer as energetic and hale and hearty as he usually was.


    “Louis, how do you n to exin what happened yesterday to the board of directors?” Old Mr. Smith’s


    deep voice was mixed with old hoarseness.


    After the matter was exposed, the board of directors requested Louis to step forward and give


    everyone a satisfactory answer.


    However, Louis knew it was the most critical moment then. The shareholders were like hungry jackals


    waiting to devour him, and the entrance of thepany was blocked by reporters. He could not show


    up then.


    However, he knew very well that he could not hide forever. Sooner orter, he would have to give a


    satisfactory answer.


    Louis pondered for a moment and said calmly, “Last night, I met Olivia. After discussion, we tentatively


    decided not to respond to anything. Then, the two of us will hold a board meeting to give an


    exnation.”Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
