Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 251

Chapter 251

Ethan’s words struck a chord in Olivia’s heart. He knew the expectations Olivia had of her mother.

Chloe was the person Olivia had longed for, after all. But when Chloe came back, this was how she treated Olivia. Ethan knew how sad Olivia must have felt.

But Chloe didn’t.

She didn’t like Jeff, so she treated his daughter coldly as well.

Marina wasn’t quite respectful to her, especially when Chris wasn’t around. Marina had plotted against Chloe many times.

Human nature could be terrible. People would usually show their gentlest sides to outsiders, but they treated their closest relatives with anger and hatred.

Over the years, it had become a habit of Chloe’s to try and please Marina.

Likewise, she ignored Olivia out of habit. She didn’t care about Olivia and even abandoned her without consideration.

Ethan’s words didn’t make her reflect on her actions. She said stubbornly to him, “I only know that you’re getting engaged to Marina today. Your relationship with Liv belongs to the past.

“Liv, I’m begging you, just stay away from Ethan. Don’t ruin Marina’s family, please.”

Olivia was heartbroken. She had finally regained her desire to live, but Chloe had destroyed it all.

“Is everything I do a mistake, Mrs. Carlton?”

“If you have a sense of shame, you’d stay away from Ethan instead of working at his company. Marina is being ridiculed because of you.”

Olivia looked at the cold expression on Chloe’s face. She remembered that when she was a young child, she would try her best to get good grades.

When she showed Chloe her answer sheet with great results, Chloe would react just like this.

Chloe had never cared.

“Oh, alright. Now wash your hands and get ready for lunch. In the afternoon, take piano lessons at home by yourself. I’m going to the beauty salon.”

Olivia had never received the praise she looked forward to. She didn’t know what went wrong.

Her classmates said that every parent would love children who got good grades.

“So why won’t Mom praise me?” Olivia used to wonder.
