Suddenly, the tires rubbed against the ground and screeched at a high pitch. Swerving, the car managed to come to a halt beside Fiona.
Thankfully, she wasn't harmed in any way. Her jaw almost dropped as she froze on the sidewalk.
"Why are you standing here?" Olivia rolled down the car window and whistled at her to call her attention. She wore heavy make-up that was so thick it almost erased her original face. "My good cousin, I'm in such a bad mood today. And by the way, thank you for your help. Now, I really need you to take good care of the young master of the Fu family for me. Do you understand?"
Olivia smiled with pride. When she first heard that Fiona would be living with them, she felt nothing but upset. Since then, she tried to get rid of the annoying girl every chance she got. But now, thinking about, she even might have gotten the good end of a deal. After all, she would be hitting two birds with one stone; it was not that bad marrying a cripple.
At last, she could now receive her father's undivided attention. Fiona's innocent and annoying eyes would not be bothering her anymore.
Olivia thought evilly, 'After today, I am sure that God will help me torture that good-for-nothing Fiona.
You can be smarter and prettier than me all you want, but so what? I will make my own choices. You will have no choice but suffer with that cripple!'
Fiona clenched her fists. Taking a deep breath, she replied calmly, "Really? Oh, and Olivia, I heard that something was wrong with the Ling family's company? That's right. After I marry Mr. Caspar, I will start living the life that I've always dreamed of."
She was not that easy to be bullied, after all.
Suddenly, Olivia's face turned red with anger. "You... You have no business in running the Ling family's affairs! Have you realized it? I am the daughter of my parents, and you are nothing but a wretched shameless thief. For so many years, you have disgraced the Ling family. And now, you have no choice but to marry a cripple for me."
Hearing what Olivia had said, Fiona got flustered.
She had every right to be for her feelings were most certainly valid. And besides, who didn't have a bitter past? However, this time, she had no other choice. Over the years, Olivia had continuously sprayed salt into her wounds again and again. Seeing her in pain, with her wounds being poked open with blood made Olivia smirk.
Fiona agreed with the arranged marriage with the Fu family on Olivia's behalf, but Olivia not only didn't appreciate it, but also found it sarcastic.
At that moment, tears started to fill her eyes. Squatting down slowly, she picked up a brick and smashed it against the window of Olivia's fancy red BMW.
"Bang!"
