Seeing her daughter, Madam Enya hurriedly walked forward.
"Why are you going downstairs alone?" she complained.
"Your feet are still healing."
She reached out her hand to help.
Olivia was old enough now, but with the way her mother fussed about her, other people would think she was some spoiled kid.
Maggie regarded her with envy.
Feeling like she had never been treated like that by her parents, she could not help but feel jealous.
She refused to admit that she was inferior to Olivia.
She simply thought Olivia was born into a rich family, that was why she could stand so tall over people, while she was left to blend with the subordinates.
Maggie gritted her teeth.
"Oh, sister, why did you hurt your foot?" she asked with a smile.
"Didn't Leonard protect you?"
The truth was, she already knew about Olivia's confession earlier that day, she also knew that Leonard rejected her.
She only asked just so she could secretly mock her cousin.
In the past, Olivia really treated her as her sister.
She would share everything with Maggie, she would tell her all about her day, and she even asked her for help regarding how to make moves on Leonard.
As a result, Leonard became more and more disgusted with her...Now that she thought about it, she could clearly see the signs.Olivia sat down on the sofa.
"Why do you wanna know?" she replied.
"If you like Leonard, then I'll give him to you."
Her smile was the same as usual, as if she was still that naive girl that could be fooled easily.
However, Maggie acted shocked.
"What are you talking about, sister?" she said.
"I've never had any romantic feelings for Leonard.I've always wanted you to marry someone you like, so I'm really happy for you!"
‘‘Look at her tone” Olivia thought.
'How generous and understanding” She raised her eyebrows.
"Tell me, Maggie, do you know what your family’s greatest strengths are?"
"What is it?"
Olivia cleared her throat.
"You're father is shameless and self-righteous,'' she started to say, "and your mother is so greedy it makes me absolutely speechless."
She sneered glaring at her cousin.
"And you are a vain and self-serving hypocrite."
No one knew how much she hated this family.
She wished she could kill Maggie now! Compared to what her family had done to hers, she felt as if a few words were not enough.
Maggie was surprised, her face scrunching.
"Sister, how can you say that.."
Olivia looked her up and down, ignoring what she was saying.
From head to toe, she was dressed in clothes that cost ridiculous amounts of money.
"Alright, stop acting,'' she said.
"My dad invited you here to our house, and he treated you as his own.Now that you've had your taste of LC City, I think you should leave now.” Hearing her mock them about their thick skin, Uncle Donald and his wife, Madam Sophie, grimaced.
"Olivia, what are you talking about?"
Madam Sophie asked, waving her shopping bags.
"Are you saying we're taking advantage of your family?"
Olivia instantly laughed.
"Isn't that so?"
Everyone had thought they were tactful and gentle, but they could not restrain themselves from advancing toward Olivia.
Maggie rushed forward to stop her parents.
"Mom, Dad," she said, "don't be mad.I'm sure Olivia didn't mean what she said; it's our fault that we brought it up.Why don't we go..."
She almost burst into tears.
