Chapter 298
It was already evening when Olivia returned to the Sullivan family's residence.
As soon as she reached the door, Elena ran over. "Miss Taylor, bad news. Mrs. Sullivan is angry."
Olivia raised her eyes slightly. She had a puzzled expression.
Elena quickly explained.
It turned out that Mrs. Sullivan was upset that Tyson came back alone with Andrew in the afternoon. Mrs. Sullivan was unhappy and felt that Olivia was not attentive enough to her grandson.
Brad caught wind of it and said something to Mrs. Sullivan. She was fuming.
Mrs. Sullivan said she had to teach Olivia a lesson. Olivia was not allowed to go out for the next few days.
She would teach Olivia how to behave.
The more Elena spoke, the more agitated she became. "Why is he behaving like that? He's scheming and such a lowlife. Also, Mrs. Sullivan is too gullible for her age. How could she just..."
Before she could finish speaking, Olivia gave her a look.
Elena immediately fell silent and lowered her head, not knowing what to do.
Olivia said calmly, "Mrs. Sullivan is Daniel's biological mother. She's an elder. Even if she's a little unhappy, we have to respect her when we speak about her."
It was not easy to maintain a cordial relationship.
Daniel could hold a grudge against his biological mother, but this did not mean that Olivia could disrespect Mrs. Sullivan.
"But, she..." Elena's heart ached for Olivia.
"Stop talking.” Olivia waved her hand. "I'll take care of it."
When she walked into the living room, Mrs. Sullivan told Olivia that she would be showing her the ropes personally over the next few days.
Brad sat at the side and looked at Olivia quietly. He had a faint smile. However, the smile did not reach his eyes.
Mr. Brown stood at the side, looking down. He was like an emotionless block of wood.
He did not want to be embroiled in it.
It seemed that Ms. Taylor was going to suffer the next few days.
That was also the reason why Mr. Brown did not think highly of Olivia previously. He did not understand why Olivia had to cause trouble for herself by provoking Brad.
Mrs. Sullivan personally raised Brad. He was like her biological son. A few words from Brad could affect Mrs. Sullivan's impression of Ms. Taylor.
It was not a wise move to go against Brad.
Brad, who was sitting at the side, was proud of himself.
With just a few words, he could sow dissatisfaction between Mrs. Sullivan and Olivia. He was only teaching Olivia a small lesson this time. If she continued to be so insensible, he would not hold back.
Mrs. Sullivan offered to show Olivia the ropes personally for the next few days. She initially thought that Olivia would find excuses to refuse her or have it postponed. She had already made up reasons to reject Olivia if the latter did not agree immediately. She did not expect Olivia to accept straight away.
Olivia was so docile that Mrs. Sullivan was stunned. She stared at Olivia for a long time.
Brad also frowned. He suspected that Olivia was up to no good.
Olivia's performance over the next few days was jaw-dropping.
Olivia had been serious throughout the days spent with Mrs. Sullivan. She showed no impatience. No matter what Mrs. Sullivan said, she would remember it carefully.
Not only did she chat with Mrs. Sullivan every day, but she also gave her a massage and acupuncture to treat her heart disease.
She even personally cooked for Mrs. Sullivan.
Mrs. Sullivan was initially a little uncomfortable. She did not want to chat with Olivia. She felt that Olivia was her junior and her personality was not likable. She thought Olivia would speak unpleasantly.
Unexpectedly, Olivia and Mrs. Sullivan got along very well.
Olivia's words touched Mrs. Sullivan's heart. Everything she said made sense to the latter.
The two of them had very similar values and interests.
Mrs. Sullivan liked everything Olivia liked.
Even though Mrs. Sullivan was not familiar with the things recommended by Olivia at the beginning, she immediately fell in love with them after she got the hang of it.
In less than three days, Olivia had successfully replaced Brad as Mrs. Sullivan's favorite person.
It had always been Brad talking to Mrs. Sullivan in the past. Now, Mrs. Sullivan was no longer willing to chat with Brad. Instead, she frowned and looked at Brad. "You're not young anymore.
Why are you hovering at home every day? Why are you meddling in matters overseen by others? A man should focus on his career.”
Brad found it unbelievable.
Mrs. Sullivan enjoyed his company the most. Why would she find him annoying now?
Brad immediately felt uneasy. He asked Mrs. Sullivan in a soft tone, "What's wrong? Why are you displeased with me? Did I do something wrong?"
It was Brad's usual tactic. As long as he spoke that way and acted fearful, Mrs. Sullivan's heart would soften immediately.
However, the tactic did not work this time.
Mrs. Sullivan had goosebumps all over her body after hearing what Brad said. She felt uncomfortable and walked away to maintain a distance from him.
She then ran upstairs.
It was as if Brad was a ghost.
Even Mr. Brown was shocked, let alone Brad.
Mr. Brown quickly went upstairs to chase after Mrs. Sullivan. She was in her room.
Mr. Brown entered the room. Mrs. Sullivan was sitting on the bed and panting heavily. He was puzzled as he asked. "May I ask if there’s anything wrong?"
"Close the door!" Mrs. Sullivan glanced behind Mr. Brown.
Mr. Brown closed the door.
Mrs. Sullivan sighed dejectedly. "Oh my god, Brad is so off-putting!"
Mr. Brown was frowning when he heard Mrs. Sullivan continue, "For the past few days, Olivia has shared her views on why she thinks Brad should behave more fittingly. I thought about it.
She was right. Brad should have focused on his career and not whine and meddle in stuff that does not matter. He has crossed my boundaries."
"Olivia told me that Brad was whiny about the smallest of matters. I didn't believe her. But did you see how he whined about me not paying him enough attention? He's a grown man now.
How off-putting.” Mrs. Sullivan only felt goosebumps all over her body.
She was a little annoyed with Brad.
Olivia was right. He was a big man. He spent all his time in the house. She had nothing to say if he did not want to make any improvements, but he whined and complained about unimportant matters.
How annoying!
Mrs. Sullivan was getting more easily annoyed with Brad.
Olivia had already finished preparing dinner. She went to the living room to call Mrs. Sullivan to eat, but she did not see her. Olivia was about to ask the servant.
Brad stood before her. He had a livid expression as he gritted his teeth. "Olivia, what did you say behind my back?"
Olivia waved her hand at the servants.
The servants in the living room immediately turned around and left. Their movements were as agile as well-trained soldiers.
Brad looked up. He was shocked.
He was wrong to underestimate her.
She had only been in the residence for a few days, but the servants were already listening to her orders. Even Mr. Brown was slightly biased towards her.
Brad's heart could not help but sink. He felt like he had brought a wolf into the house.
Olivia sat on the sofa and looked up at Brad with an innocent expression. "Didn't you ask me to come here to be a companion? Why are you angry now? It's so hard to guess what you're thinking!"
Brad's face was livid. “Olivia, don't play tricks with me."
"I'm not playing tricks.” Olivia smiled gently. “I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine.
You're not the only one who knows how to manipulate people. I know how to do it. Moreover, I'm doing it better than you. I've surpassed you."
Was it not just a simple game?
Olivia had never known anything else easier to pick up.
She wanted to use Brad's tactics and make him understand he was wrong to provoke her.
Chapter 299 Olivia had never enjoyed competitions. She disliked it.
