Krystal walked up to Olivia. "Come here. Let's talk it out."Olivia was also curious to see what Krystal wanted to do.Mason's expression darkened. "What are you trying to pull, Krystal?"Then, he looked at Tatiana because he thought it was her idea. Tatiana said resignedly, "Mason, I have nothing to do with this. I don't know what she's up to."It was the truth. She had been thinking of what she should do in the past couple of days. She would never make a move without being sure that she would succeed.Seeing what was going on, Tatiana could guess what Krystal had done. She definitely told Yale, and it was all Yale's idea. They wanted to expose Olivia before everyone. It would be great if everything went according to plan, but they didn't have any proof that Olivia had any malicious intent. At least from the information that they had, they couldn't really prove that Olivia bore any ill will toward Mason. The things they had done already disappointed Mason. If they messe
Krystal started to feel uneasy when she saw that Olivia was so calm. She talked like they knew each other.She thought long and hard but didn't know who Olivia could possibly be. It was impossible. She was definitely bluffing. Krystal swore she wouldn't fall for it anymore. Tatiana and Mason looked at each other. Neither of them knew what was going to happen. Olivia touched the soaked edges of her mask and slowly removed it. It was because she had been wearing a mask for extended periods of time. The skin that was revealed was ashen. Olivia's chin was pointed. She didn't put anything on her lips, but they were naturally pink.Her nose was small and refined. It was the type of nose many people would want to get plastic surgery to have. Her forehead was full and glowing. Her eyes were big and bright. When Krystal saw Olivia's face, she was reminded of the first time she saw Olivia three years ago. She was injured, and her hair was a mess. She stood in the corridor. Her
Everyone could see that there was something wrong with Mason. Tatiana started to panic. She had never seen him in such an unsightly state in all the years she had been married to him. Who was this woman?Tatiana wasn't the only one who thought Mason was looking at Olivia with a weird expression. Everyone else thought the same. Naturally, Ethan felt that, too. He wrapped his arms around Olivia. Both of them were soaked and looked a little downtrodden, but his gaze was cold. "Mr. and Mrs. Heath, as you can see, she's Olivia, my ex-wife. She's not anyone suspicious. She just wants to keep a low profile and not stand out."She only came to perform the operation because I begged her to do so. I didn't expect her kindness to be repaid with such insults. "Ms. Heath has tried to humiliate her repeatedly. We endured all of that because we cared about Mr. Heath's health."This time, she pulled yet another trick to humiliate Liv publicly. I'm sorry, but I can't bear to see her being hu
Krystal was dumbfounded. Why did things end up like that? Ethan would hate her even more after that. Although Mason didn't reprimand her, she was scared by the look he gave her when he left. Mason had been very busy for as long as she could remember. She only got to see him a couple of times each year. Even if he weren't present, he would send all the nice things to her place. She could also feel his fatherly love. She grew up in a happy environment. When Mason rose to prominence, she became like a princess. Everyone around her doted on her. But she messed up again and caused Mason to be disgusted at her. Tatiana went with Mason and tried to appease him. "Mason, there's still some food in the kitchen. I'll get the housekeeper to get you some. You haven't completely recovered yet. You could use the nourishment."Mason was holding a string of prayer beads in his hand. The beads looked well-worn. He would hold these beads whenever he was feeling upset. It would calm him dow
Krystal was stunned. Her expression quickly changed. What was her father saying? She felt like she had to have heard wrongly. "Dad, isn't that too much? You're cutting ties with me because I poured some water on her?"Mason sat in his chair with a stormy expression. He didn't shout, but he was still very intimidating. Krystal and Tatiana didn't even dare to look him in the eye. "Back in the day, It was dangerous to be around me. I was afraid you might be harmed. So, I had your mother take you to the countryside."Then, I became really busy with work and didn't have time to educate you. I never expected you to become such a despicable person. "Do you really think I don't know what you have done?Mason began to recount all the things she had done. "You had terrible grades as a student. Then, you decided to enlist and told me you wanted to serve your country. "I knew you made that decision because of your feelings for Ethan. "I thought the military would toughen you up.
Krystal finally started to feel fear. Her father had always been strict. Back when the siblings were young, she saw Mason stripping Linus' top. Then, he had him kneel on the snow as he whipped him.Mason tolerated her behavior repeatedly because she was a woman and didn't get to grow up by his side. But the incident today was the last straw. Mason had enough. Linus rushed over after he sent the guests away. After all, no one would be in the mood for food after an incident like that. As soon as he stepped into the room, he heard Tatiana and Krystal crying."What's going on?""Linus, you're here just in time. You've always doted on me. Please talk to Dad. He wants to disown me!" Linus frowned. He was a little confused. "Dad, Krystal may have been in the wrong today, but isn't this too harsh of a punishment? How would she survive on her own?""If she can't survive on her own, how was Olivia able to become a renowned doctor? Her family went bankrupt, and both her parents
Tatiana was a little distracted. Rather than Krystal, she was more worried about Mason's attitude toward Olivia. It felt like he knew Olivia!It was still snowing outside, and Linus was driving. All the cars around him made way for him. He looked at Mason through the rearview mirror. Mason was looking out the window with a stern expression as if deep in thought. "Dad, do you know Ms. Fordham?"Mason sighed softly but didn't respond. Linus' fingers tightened around the steering wheel. He had a feeling that something big was about to happen. Olivia went back to her room to change into some casual clothes. Ethan hugged her tightly as soon as they entered the room. He didn't want to let go of her. "That's enough. We haven't even eaten yet. I'll cook something up. Let me go."Ethan nestled against her neck like a puppy. "Okay."Olivia hadn't been staying here for some time. The vegetables in the fridge had already gone bad. She had no choice but to get some instant pasta fro
Olivia looked at the half-finished pasta that she and Ethan left on the table. Linus and Mason probably hadn't eaten as well.So, she said, "You two haven't eaten, right? Why don't I cook something up for you?"Soon, there was a plate of pasta in front of Mason and Linus. Olivia smiled apologetically. "There aren't any ingredients at home. This is all I can make for you.""It's fine. It's nice to switch things up occasionally." Mason seemed to be very easygoing. There were no housekeepers in this house. Ethan took up the job of washing the dishes. He picked up the plates that the others used. Linus frowned. Although the two of them were divorced, it seemed like their relationship didn't really change. Olivia brewed some tea for Mason and Linus. Then, she sat down and said, "Since it's getting late, I'll make it short. I happened to see a picture in your drawer. "It was a picture of a woman. Is that woman called Natalie?"Mason's expression visibly changed after hearin
