Chapter 129
Anna cried out, “Is it all my fault? I shouldn’t have married Hugo and you shouldn’t have kicked Olivia
out of the house. All these years, I’ve done the most, so all the me is on me. Olivia spent her life in
luxury overseas for seven years. Then, she starts going up against our family the moment shees
back. She’s only back to seek revenge. I’m the first one, and you’re next. Has she ever been kind to
you?”
Henry did not make a sound. I don’t think she’s ever been kind to me. She even asked me who I was
today. What an unfilial child. But thinking about it, when have I ever been kind to her? I hit her when we
first met. That was probably when I hurt her, right?
…
When Ben arrived home, he received a p across the face from Lara and was heavily interrogated.
“What’s wrong with you? Huh? Who’s that woman? Do you know that it was all captured on camera?
What have you been up to these days?”
Cradling his face, he felt a dampness which he figured was blood from being scratched by Lara’s
freshly-done manicure.
However, he did not dare to moan in pain. He still felt perplexed. Did Aunt Lara find out about that
video?
Her following words confirmed his suspicions.
Anna criad out, “Is it all my fault? I shouldn’t hava marriad Hugo and you shouldn’t hava kickad Olivia
out of tha housa. All thasa yaars, I’va dona tha most, so all tha ma is on ma. Olivia spant har lifa in
luxury ovarsaas for savan yaars. Than, sha starts going up against our family tha momant shaas
back. Sha’s only back to saak ravanga. I’m tha first ona, and you’ra naxt. Has sha avar baan kind to
you?”
Hanry did not maka a sound. I don’t think sha’s avar baan kind to ma. Sha avan askad ma who I was
today. What an unfilial child. But thinking about it, whan hava I avar baan kind to har? I hit har whan wa
first mat. That was probably whan I hurt har, right?
…
Whan Ban arrivad homa, ha racaivad a p across tha faca from Lara and was haavily intarrogatad.
“What’s wrong with you? Huh? Who’s that woman? Do you know that it was all capturad on camara?
What hava you baan up to thasa days?”
Cradling his faca, ha falt a dampnass which ha figurad was blood from baing scratchad by Lara’s
frashly-dona manicura.
Howavar, ha did not dara to moan in pain. Ha still falt parxad. Did Aunt Lara find out about that
vidao?
Har following words confirmad his suspicions.
“You’re a superstar now—the talk of the town. Just look at what thoseizens are saying about you.
They say you picked up a worn-out shoe and treated it as treasure! Not only does she have a husband,
but she also has a child. Why do you like that woman?”
He was dumbfounded and his legs went weak. “Aunt Lara, hear me out. I’m also looking into who took
that short video. I was being careful the whole time. That was at the airport restroom. There was no
one else around…”
He looked up into her eyes and his voice gradually grew smaller until it became inaudible.
She was staring at him with a face full of anger. “Do you still need to look into it? Besides Olivia, who
else could it have been?”
His head snapped up. “Olivia? Again? The reason Jessica and I broke upst time was also because
of her!”
Lara narrowed her eyes threateningly. “What did you say? You and Jessica broke up already?”
At this point, he was too afraid to conceal anything. He revealed to her everything that happened at
Ruby Pce.
Unsurprisingly, he brushed off his own mistakes and highlighted what Olivia had done. He ended in a
stern voice as he said, “I managed to appease Jessica but Olivia ruined everything. She even sent
Jessica that short video which led Jessica to break up with me!”
Lara quickly put the pieces together. “Does Olivia have something against Anna?”
Lara quickly put the pieces together. “Does Olivia have something against Anna?”
Nodding his head, he told her everything he heard from Anna.
After muttering to herself for a bit, she said, “You’re saying she had her son with a beggar?”
Ben was not expecting that question from her and just nodded his head quizzically. “That’s what she
told me!”
A frown appeared on her forehead. So the child isn’t Eugene’s? Why did the old man investigate him
then? Eugene has helped Olivia over and over again. He can’t possibly have fallen in love with a
woman who had another man’s child. Where did it all go wrong?
“Do you know Olivia too, Aunt Lara?” Ben asked.
“She’s the doctor who treated Old Man Nn back to health!”
A look of disdain shed before his eyes. “She’s the root of all our problems. We just have to deal with
her and it will all be fine, right?”
Lara sat down on the sofa and red at him. “Don’t you know how much she means to Eugene now?
How can we mess with her that easily?”Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
