Olivia couldn’t let Lindsay continue to live and ruin her life any further. Lindsay, on the other hand, could sense the deep resentment and malice radiating from Olivia. It was clear that Olivia wasn’t done causing trouble, and Lindsay mentally prepared herself to stay on guard. But for now, the backlash Olivia was about to face would be enough for her to “enjoy” the consequences of her own actions."Let’s go, to the hospital," Lindsay said calmly.When Olivia spoke earlier, no one had paid her any attention. Yet as soon as Lindsay spoke, everyone immediately sprang into action. This stung Olivia deeply, filling her with even more bitterness and jealousy. It was clear to her now—people really did treat others based on their status. It was unfair.Charles had already arranged for a carriage to take the guests to the outskirts of Goodwill City, where they would transfer to cars to head to the hospital. By this time, Brandon’s condition had stabilized after the initial emergency treatm
As soon as Alex spoke, it wasn’t just Olivia who was stunned—everyone around was taken aback. It was the first time they had ever heard him speak so harshly to his "beloved little sister." But, as harsh as the words were, they rang true. Had Alex finally seen through Olivia and no longer holding back?Olivia’s tearful expression froze. She was caught in a dilemma—continuing to cry seemed pointless, but stopping now felt equally awkward. Inside, her resentment toward Alex grew. How could he humiliate her like this? She cared deeply for Brandon, and of course, she was worried. But knowing he wasn’t going to die, what difference did it make if she came sooner or later?Pressing her lips together, she glanced at Alex and said, "Alex, I know you’re upset with me, but I really didn’t mean to put Brandon in danger. I just wanted him to jump the horse with me—you misunderstood."I was terrified afterward, and I feel so guilty for what happened. I know it’s my fault he got hurt, and if you
In front of everyone and the countless viewers on the live stream, Alex had called Olivia heartless and ungrateful, saying he wanted nothing to do with her anymore. Hearing this, panic gripped her. It felt like her brothers were slipping out of her control for good. How had things come to this? She regretted acting so quickly earlier—she should have waited for Brandon to step in and protect her. Then, they wouldn’t be blaming her like this.When Olivia spoke, Alex first cast a cautious glance at Lindsay, whose expression remained calm and unreadable. Only then did he address Olivia. “Yes, you grew up with us. We loved you, even more than our real sister. Because of your manipulation and constant scheming, you drove our real sister away, forcing her to cut ties with us.“And how did you repay us? You pretended to care, but every time something happened, it was all talk and no action. When trouble arose, you played the innocent one, pushing us to take the fall. You even threw Brandon
Justin looked at Olivia as if he was seeing her for the first time. What kind of twisted logic did she operate on?With a frown, he said, “What does this have to do with Lindsay? You even manage to drag her into this? You took her place as the Harper family’s heiress for over a decade, used every trick in the book to turn the family against her, and drove her away. And that wasn’t enough for you—you’re still fixated on her?"Besides, if you look back at the last three episodes of the show, when did Lindsay ever start anything? Every single time, it’s been you provoking her, and she’s just defended herself. You’re really a master of double standards and playing the victim.”He couldn’t believe he had once thought Olivia was a decent girl, based on the stories his mother told him. Like the Harper brothers, he had been completely fooled by her act—how blind they all were.Alex’s face was equally cold. “Olivia, this is between you and us. Why do you keep dragging Lindsay into it? We’ve hur
Lindsay Summer opened her eyes and looked around the familiar room from her memories. She had truly traveled back in time.She reached for the phone on the bedside table and checked the date. A slight smile appeared on her face. She realized she had returned to a good time.As she began to think, there was a knock on the door.Lindsay got up to open the door and saw a handsome man standing there. He immediately questioned her, "I called you earlier, why didn't you answer?"Lindsay responded calmly, "I didn't want to."This was her second brother, Oliver Harper, who was also her agent now.Oliver was taken aback, clearly not expecting Lindsay to say that. He frowned, a bit impatient, and said, "Can you stop being difficult?"Lindsay raised an eyebrow. "Can say something new? Stop always saying I'm being difficult. Aren't you tired of it? Because I sure am."Since she had returned to this family, everyone from Grace Lowe, her mother, to her five brothers would always tell her to stop
Lindsay really didn't care about such biased family members anymore. She considered herself to have no blood relations with them.When she was young, Alex lost her, and she was taken by human traffickers who intended to use her for child labor. Fortunately, her benefactor, Moses Goodwin, rescued and adopted her; otherwise, her life would have been miserable.Lindsay's words caused the expressions of the Harper family to change dramatically. They never expected that she would actually sever ties with them and leave.Olivia leaned against Grace, her eyes shifting slightly. She looked at Lindsay with a guilty and apologetic expression and said, "No, I'm the one who should leave."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to steal your opportunity. I just liked that variety show, so Oliver went to talk to you."I don't want the show anymore, so you don't have to be unhappy. I don't want to make Dad, Mom, and my brothers upset and worried."On the surface, she appeared guilty, but in reality, she was using
Lindsay's words left Alex at a loss for what to say. Although it wasn't intentional back then, his sister did indeed go missing for so many years because of him, leaving her to fend for herself without enjoying the life of a wealthy heiress.Lindsay added, “And let me say this one last time, I no longer care about any of you, so I’m not interested in competing for favoritism with Olivia.”Oliver, with a dark expression, said, “Think carefully. If you sever ties with us, forget about getting any more resources from the company.”Edmund Harper, the eldest brother, chimed in, “And it could get even worse—you might even get blacklisted."Their words were meant to make Lindsay think twice about her future and back down from her rash decisions.Yet, Lindsay suddenly laughed. “All of you are making it sound like you’ve given me so much this past year.“Since joining Harper Entertainment, the resources and opportunities I've gotten were even less than those from the small company that used to
When filming, Lindsay rarely reached out to the Harper family or Justin. However, Justin visited her every month, showing the same care as before and denying any relationship with Olivia. Yet, his attention to Olivia during the variety show was like a thorn in Lindsay's heart.After finishing the shoot and returning to the capital, she hired someone to investigate Justin and Olivia. Shortly after her movie premiered, it became an instant hit, and she was nominated for Best Actress at a national film festival. The director believed she had a strong chance of winning.But before she could attend the award ceremony, Lindsay and Olivia were kidnapped together. The Harper family and Justin found them the same day. During negotiations, the kidnappers demanded they choose one to release and keep the other.Justin, along with the Harper family, chose to release Olivia. Lindsay wasn't surprised by the Harper family's choice, but Justin's decision was a crushing blow, completely unexpected.
