GoodReadOlivia didn't know about the entanglement between Leia and Avery. Her appearance here took Olivia aback.
Although Leia was not dead, Olivia was not disappointed.
After all, Leia's identity was different. From Olivia's perspective, Leia would be better off dead. But Ethan would certainly be sad if Leia was dead.
That was why Olivia's attitude toward Leia was rather complex now.
Leia's appearance added confusion to the messy situation among the Fordham family members. Everyone still hadn't recovered from what Olivia had just said to them. Avery saw Leia at this moment.

"Ms. Miller, are you alright?" Leia probably got injured and was bandaged up. Avery could smell the faint scent of blood.
"I'm okay, Mr. Avery." "Dad, she's the one who saved you. If it weren't for Ms. Miller who helped us out financially, | would've still been helpless to deal with the situation." All of David's attention was still on Olivia. But since Leia saved him, he had to say something in return.
"Thank you, Ms. Miller. I'll certainly repay your kindness." Leia seemed restless in front of the Fordham family. She waved him down. "You don't have to." David's eyes then rested on Olivia. "Dr. Fordham, is what you just said true?" After all, they had suspected Deborah and Brandon. But they never had any suspicions toward the woman whom they had been doting on so much all these years.
Jacqueline had been putting on such an excellent act ol i of them.
Shooting a glance at Leia, Ethan strode over. "I'll explain everything to you." He knew that Olivia was still emotionally agitated about this. He first asked Olivia to have a seat. When he walked past Leia, he even lowered his voice and said, "You'd better kneel and listen to this carefully!" Leia was anxious. Although she had no idea what happened to the Fordham family back then, she could roughly guess the outcome. That was why she didn't fight back and merely knelt on the floor.
Ethan then explained Leia's strange and difficult upbringing to the others, especially the part where she was nearly murdered by someone in the country. He did so in a logical and clear way.
Sof the bad things that had happened to Olivia were Leia's doing. Apart from feeling ashamed, she was filled with regret and gratitude too.
She was glad that Olivia was still alive and well instead of being dead after everything she did to Olivia.
Ethan finished the story about Olivia's life since birth. Out of the blue, he knelt down beside Leia.
"Mr. David, Leia and | have done many things to hurt Liv after being instigated by others. The Miller family owes an apology to the Fordham family and Liv. | have no objections even if you want to kill or hurt me." Right after he said that, Sean got up from his wheelchair. With veins bulging on the back of his hand, he sent a punch across Ethan's face.

Ethan took his punch head-on. Blood trickled down the corner of his lips.
"You bastard, you nearly killed Olivia!"
Troy's hand was injured, or he would've hit Ethan too. He glared at Ethan. "Did you bully, her because she had no family as her backer? I felf bad for her when | heard about her life story back then. | never thought that she was actually my own sister.
"If my hands were still working, I'd kill you or even turn you to mincemeat!"
Even Avery's eyes turned cold. "If that's the case, I should've brought Olivia along and left early on. You piece of trash!"
"Yes, it's all my fault. Mr. David, you..." "Don't callthat." As David spoke, he tried to get up. "My dear daughter..." Olivia immediately went to the bedside. Watching David with teary eyes, Olivia choked out the word, "Dad."
Tears flowed down David's cheeks as he slowly pulled her into his arms. " My dear child, you've suffered so much pain all these years."
