Chapter 79 Olivia’s Defiance
Finished
Upon locking eyes with them, Olivia experienced a brief moment of shock before cursing her luck and hastily averting her gaze, feigning ignorance.
Yet, the individuals across from her weren’t inclined to let her slip away so easily, especially not the Patels.
The sting of Nathan’s recent rejection still lingered in their hearts.
Emma’s demeanor turned icy, resentment simmering in her gaze.
Emily, too, spotted Olivia, her disdain palpable.
Lily nursed a lingering grudge over her daughter’s rejection, her brows arching mockingly as she spoke, “Funny how Nathan’s demeanor changed upon his return, isn’t it? Seems he stumbled upon someone unexpected… Olivia certainly knows how to leave an impression!”
The jab was directed squarely at Emily.
Furious, Emily stormed toward Olivia, her usual air of condescension laced with contempt as she demanded, “Olivia, we need to talk!”
Olivia paused briefly, meeting Emily’s gaze with a cold stare. “There’s nothing to discuss between us, Mrs. Carter,” she retorted curtly, turning to depart.
Emily moved to intercept her, her voice frigid. “You may not have anything to say, but I do!”
Maintaining her composure, Olivia inquired coolly, “What’s on your mind?”
Emily pointed accusatorily and demanded, “What do you want in exchange for staying away from Nathan?”
Silent, Olivia’s gaze hardened, memories of her humiliating dismissal five years prior resurfacing.
Speaking with a sharp tone, Olivia retorted, “What? Are you negotiating with me, Mrs. Carter? I thought someone lik
you would only resort to direct action.”
Emily’s expression twisted with disdain as she continued, “Do you think I’m afraid to take action? I simply prefer not to dirty my hands! Olivia, are you deliberately ensnaring Nathan for money? How much do you want? I’ll pay servitude to us!”
You off; just stay away from Nathan. I can accommodate your needs, considering your past
At Emily’s audacious offer, Olivia’s visage hardened.
The woman before Olivia remained unchanged.
Harsh and Ruthless!
Olivia’s demeanor grew even colder as she retorted sarcastically, “Do I appear desperate for money to you? Why don’t you set a price, Mrs. Carter? Name your figure, and I’ll take it! Just ensure your son stays out of
my way.”
“Olivia, your insolence is intolerable!”
Emily’s complexion briefly paled.
Especially not Olivia.
Who did she think she was?
“Mrs. Carter, I suggest you refrain from flaunting your status in my presence. I am not the same Olivia you once knew. In my eyes, you are nothing! So, if you wish to converse, adjust your attitude accordingly.”
Olivia’s voice was frigid, devoid of any warmth, her gaze towards Emily no longer submissive but steadfast and commanding.
Emily was jolted by Olivia’s words, suddenly recalling Olivia’s current status.
She was no longer the submissive maid at the beck and call of the Carters!
Yet, that didn’t grant her permission to be insolent.
Emily’s anger boiled, a lump forming in her throat.
Sensing Emily’s frustration, Lily jabbed a finger at Olivia and demanded, “How dare you speak to your elders in such a manner, Olivia? Previously, the Carter family took you in regardless of past events. Although you are no longer part of their family now, how could you have such an attitude towards Mrs. Carter? Why return now when Nathan and Emma are on the verge of engagement? What are your intentions?”
