Chapter 910
"Arent you afraid?"
Olivia gazed at her and walked toward the window. "What would I be afraid of? Afraid of death?"
"Everyone is afraid of death."
Olivia did not deny it and nodded. "Yes, but you have other things that you're afraid of, don't you?"
Her tone was calm, but this only frightened Dorothy more.
"I heard that Fabian asked you for a divorce?"
Dorothy's expression darkened. "How did you know?"
"Ha, you don’t like Fabian, but you're afraid of a divorce because it's embarrassing.
"And you're afraid of people finding out about your history - all the things you've done, and all the men you've slept with."
As she spoke, Olivia looked at her and said with a chuckle, "Dorothy, you're afraid of so many things, and they're all things that are out of your control. That's what makes you so uneasy."
"The person you're working with is probably disappointed in you too. Who knows when they're going to abandon you?
"Do you think the Jameson family will go bankrupt if they lose that person's support? You..."
Olivia deliberately paused. "Could you continue being an heiress? Won't the status and power you long for collapse overnight?"
Dorothy trembled and looked at her in shock.
'How did she see through me so clearly?
'Die! This woman must die!'
Dorothy clenched her fists and said through clenched teeth, "So what?
You're still no match for me. You're surrounded by burdens-your daughter and your brother. Phoebe, do you know what your weakness is?"
Dorothy said with a grin, ‘ You have people you care about. You care about others too much, so you could never outdo me."
Olivia could not argue with that.
She was right.
