Chapter 526
Olivia looked at her, and the message from Viper Organization on the morning of the explosion flashed through her mind.
Her naughty little brother lay in a pool of blood, like a dead dog.
“He just took a few million from me, said he was going to take his girlfriend traveling and shopping and stuff, so he might be abroad now?” Olivia broke free from her mother’s hand, her tone icy cold.
Maggie clearly didn’t know about this.
She suddenly felt a little awkward: “Your brother is still young, and he’s a bit inexperienced…”
“He’s 26 now, still young?” Olivia mocked.
Maggie didn’t dare look at her, her lips faltered: “Olivia, your brother didn’t leave me any money, I… I have to go to the hospital for chemotherapy tomorrow…”
Olivia stared at the woman in front of her, recalling how, in her teens, she had meekly asked her mother for money to buy paint.
What did her mother do back then?
She impatiently refused.
After Olivia pleaded a couple more times, she got slapped twice by her mother, who accused her of wasting money.
The following day, Olivia saw her mother buy her brother a pair of limited–edition sneakers. At that time, those sneakers were so expensive that one had to pay an extra premium to get them, costing over a hundred grand.
And the money she needed for paint was just a fraction of the money for those sneakers.
“You don’t have the money, so just don’t get chemo.” Olivia sneered, “Are you so afraid of death?”
Maggie was taken aback and her hand began to tremble.
“You… how could you say that? I am your mother!”
“Oh.” Olivia shrugged indifferently, “Then go sue me. The court will decide how much I should give you, and I will give you that much.”
Maggie stood still.
She was no longer as sharp as she had been in her youth, and facing her daughter, who had grown up and was even more capable than her, she felt more fear than anything else.
