Chapter 70
Caroline grabbed Ivan, her eyes wide with anger.
Ivan didn’t seem to be offended. He gestured for the bodyguards, who promptly drove the mother and daughter out of the villa.
Swift and decisive, without mincing words.
Gianna stared at the tightly closed door, feeling like her world had come crashing down.
Gianna never expected someone as moral and decent as William to treat her this way!
Hadn’t William always prided himself on being principled? Why was he now treating her like a disposable object?
Gianna just couldn’t understand!
“Mom, what should I do? I’ve slept with William, but he still refuses to marry me. Will I never be able to marry into the Kinsman family?”
“Crying won’t help. Can tears solve the problem?”
“Then what should I do…”“
“They can’t just deny it. The Kinsman family can’t take advantage of us and then wash their hands of the whole thing! No way!” Caroline pulled Gianna to her feet, helped her into the car, and spoke furiously.
As Caroline talked, she scrolled through her phone, searching for a phone number.
Gianna sat in the pa**enger seat, her face ashen.
At that moment, her phone chimed with a new notification. She instinctively thought it was a message from William and quickly fumbled to retrieve her phone from her bag.
However, upon seeing the Twitter post on the screen, Gianna was shocked.
“Mom, look, what’s this?” Gianna shakily handed the phone to Caroline, her nerves frayed.
Didn’t she see it wrong just now? Is that Olivia in those attention-grabbing photos on Twitter’s trending topic?
How dare she, that bi tch?
“What’s all this nonsense? With rumors flying left and right, doesn’t William care? You should be the one tied to wedding news with him!”
Caroline was equally baffled. She didn’t know what was happening, but her gut told her that William didn’t want to marry Gianna because of that bi tch Olivia!

Although Olivia had kicked William out early in the morning, it left a day “psychological scar”
Olivia didn’t know if she was cursed, but every now and then, her mind would come

up
It made her feel inexplicably agitated,
For the first time in days, Ezra was openly spending time with his mom, and his spiris were high.
After a delicious breakfast, Ezra sidled up to Olivia, trying to “gather intel
Ezra even brought her a box of steaming hot chocolate milk to win his mom’s favor a Olivia sat sulking on the sofa,
“Mom, what’s the deal between you and that jerk? You’re not thinking of rekindling, the relationship with him, are you?” Based on his observations over the past few days, Yzxx felt that aside from his odd temper, the jerk was quite a catch,
William had money, wasn’t bad-looking, and seemed pretty good with kids…
“There’s no such thing. Don’t go stirring the pot, Ezra”
“But I think he’s got the hots for you!”
“What makes you say that?”
“Last time, I just gave him a tiny turtle, and William took me to the hospital for a full check-up. He even thought I had ADHD. But when you gave him that huge one, it seemed like he was over the moon…”
Little Ezra, with his well-reasoned analysis,
“William’s just keeping his head down because he’s under someone else’s roof. Don’t be hoodwinked by him. I’m not into his type now!” Not to mention, She was also the enemy he had been pining after for years.
Olivia took a sip of chocolate milk, her thoughts meandering,
Ding-d ong! Ding-d ong! A series of explosive notifications sounded, successfully grabbing their attention.
Olivia returned to reality and took out her phone, sitting up straight in a flash of anxiety.
A chat group of three appeared on the screen,
The three participants were Olivia, Ezra, and Vivienne,
Olivia’s eyes widened as she read the messages a few times before nudging Ezra,
“Do you see that?”

“Yes, Mom. Do you think it’s too late for me to turn off my phone now?”
“I reckon it’s worth a shot!”
Olivia was ready for action, but alas, she was a step too late.
Vivienne, [Don’t even think about turning off your phones. I can feel it.]
Olivia, [Sweetheart, how’s the tour going? Do you like the birthday present Mommy sent you?]
Olivia instantly transformed into a loving mom, pretending it wasn’t her who just tried to turn off her phone.
Vivienne was her only daughter among her three children, born a minute before Ezra, making her his older sister.
Vivienne had been a beautiful and adorable child, looking very much like Olivia when she was younger. But her temperament was inherited from William, cold and wise. She had strong opinions even at a young age.
Vivienne’s natural beauty and poise led her to become a child star, and a year ago, she secured an endorsement deal with the world’s largest luxury brand for kids.
She was participating in a global fashion tour.
Vivienne was the queen that little Ezra was most afraid of.
It was said that Vivienne was the only one who could keep naughty Ezra in check. Thankfully, the mischievous Ezra was always on his best behavior in front of Vivienne. Moreover, Ezra unabashedly treated Vivienne like his queen and followed her every command.
Even as her mother, sometimes Olivia couldn’t help but feel envious…
Vivienne, [My dear Mommy, please explain why you two promised to come back before my birthday, but haven’t returned yet?]
Olivia, [Well, it’s all Ezra’s fault for loving the chocolate milk here recently. I plan to fulfill his small wish and stay a few more days. Don’t worry, at most by next month, Mommy will definitely come to see you.]
Ezra, who was trying hard to keep a low profile but was suddenly called out, immediately began to cooperate after stunning for a moment.
Ezra, [Yes, yes, the chocolate milk here is really the bee’s knees! Miss Clarke, I’ve been a good boy recently. I’ll head back as soon as I’m done, and I promise not to rock the boat.]
Vivienne, [Oh? So it’s because of chocolate milk. The reason seems legit. I wonder if 15,000,000 dollars can buy a production line…]
Olivia was speechless. Sometimes, having a child who’s too clever for their own good

isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Ezra, [Oh, Mom, I suddenly have a stomachache. Please come with me to the restroom.]
Olivia, [Okay, baby boy!]
Vivienne, [Are you guys pulling my leg?]
[Olivia exited the group chat.]
[Ezra exited the group chat.]
After exiting the group chat, Olivia wanted to take a sip of chocolate milk to chill out, but she didn’t expect to be drawn in by a notification on her Twitter feed.
Olivia clicked on it, and a few trending topics immediately popped up.
“Melburgh’s top wealthy family’s Mr. Kinsman abandons his fiancee!”
“The marriage alliance between the William and Clarke families has been destroyed, suspected to be due to a mistress…”
“The president of the International Council of Nonprofits is the homewrecker!”
