Chapter 117
Calista was still discontent. She hated the fact that Olivia became the center of attention wherever she
went.
Calvin walked up to Olivia and said, “Hey! Fancy seeing you at these types of events.”
“Hey, Calvin,” Olivia responded courteously.
“I didn’t like events like these in the past. And after the Fordhams went bankrupt, I never got the
chance to come to one.”
“You could spend 500 million dollars like it was nothing. If you don’t even get to go to events like this, I
think most people on this ship haven’t either..”
Calvin knew about her relationship with Ethan, but he kept it to himself. He only winked at her in secret.
It would seem like he found something on the security cameras back then. Olivia had an idea of what it
was.
Before Olivia could say anything, Calista said in a mocking tone, “Didn’t I tell you, Calvin? Olivia would
at least get with a rich old man. She has the looks for it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Olivia, I haven’t heard about the passing of any rich old man, though. Counting down the days of your
rich old husband? Aren’t you a wicked woman?”
From Calista’s perspective, Olivia must have gotten with a rich old man, which was why she kept her
man a secret.
Why wouldn’t she flaunt her man if he was a rich heir?
“Stop talking nonsense in public, Calista,” Calvin said. He glared at her.
His attitude upset her. “Calvin, why are you so protective of her? Are you planning to marry her after
her husband dies? Your father will not allow that to happen!”
“Stop spouting nonsense. You should head in first, Olivia. It’s cold on the deck,” Calvin suggested.
That wasn’t a good place to talk.
Olivia also didn’t want to deal with Calista.
Calista had been after her like a dog on a bone. She nodded and left.
“Calvin! You’ve got your eyes on her, haven’t you? I know that you wrote her a love letter in secret back
in school.”
Calvin looked on as Olivia left. It didn’t matter if it was now or then.
She wasn’t someone that he was good enough for.
During the school years, he was one of the many people that admired her.
That was not to say that he was completely infatuated with her. But he had a genuine affection for her
when they were still students.
Now that everyone had gotten into the workforce, there was only more work to look forward to.
The pure feelings from the adolescent years were long gone. They were buried deep in his heart, never
to surface again.
Now that he had found out about Olivia’s identity, his respect for her only grew. He exchanged a few
words with others briefly and went looking for her.
Marina was not happy to see Olivia. Her expression was full of rage.
Whenever she closed her eyes, she could still see the image of Olivia smearing her face with batter
and beating her up.
It was absolutely absurd.

She quickly made her way toward Olivia.
Chapter 117
“I’m so happy you could make it, Liv! Why did you cut your hair short for no reason?
“But then again, you have good genes. So you look good either way.”
Chloe’s eagerness used to be the maternal love she craved as a kid.
Back then, whenever she had a fever, she would yearn for Chloe’s embrace. But she left her and went
overseas.
She became Marina’s stepmother.
Olivia was long past that. She even had a thing or two to say to Chloe.
“Does it really matter to you whether I have long or short hair?”
Olivia looked at Chloe calmly and continued, “Mrs. Carlton, you never even sent me a postcard
throughout these years.
“Now, you’re trying to play the part of a loving mother? Aren’t you ashamed?
“Anyway, your sudden display of concern is so embarrassing to me that I could die.”
