Chapter 250
Olivia couldn’t understand what Chloe was thinking. She didn’t know why Chloe abandoned her and
went overseas back then.
She had been gone for many years. Now that she had come back, shouldn’t she make it up to her poor
daughter?
If Chloe ruined Olivia’s reputation, it would have a bad effect on her reputation as a mother too. What
was she trying to do?
Chloe was stunned for a moment. Then, she became even fiercer. “Olivia, I told you to be a blameless
person. Aren’t you scared of the consequences when you do these things?”
Blood was oozing out of Olivia’s clenched fists. “Why should I be scared? She’s the one who should be
scared…”
Before she could finish speaking, a calm man’s voice rang out. “Mrs. Carlton, the CEO wishes to see
you two.”
News of this incident had already reached the CEO’s office. Brent, who was standing respectfully at the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtside, led the two away.
Olivia lowered her head, staring at Chloe’s back. The sight wasn’t much different from what she
remembered.
She felt pathetic. If she had known that her mother was someone like this, would she still have held
onto hope as she waited for Chloe’s return?
Opening the door, Brent respectfully led Chloe in. “Have a seat, Ma’am.”
Chloe sat down. Brent was about to ask Olivia to take a seat when Olivia interrupted him, “It’s okay, I’ll
stand.”
Putting down the document in his hands, Ethan stood up. He moved swiftly. When he walked past
Olivia, she felt a breeze picking up.
Ethan sat down opposite Chloe. He didn’t say a word, and there was cold air coming from him.
Be it Jeff or Chris, both had only ever shown Chloe their gentle sides. So, she wasn’t used to the
suppressing feeling coming from someone younger than her.
“Ms. Parker, you should inform me beforehand if you’re coming to the company. I could send someone
to welcome you.” Ethan began to boil some water for tea. He also rinsed the cups while he was at it.
His movements were so skilled that he looked like a master.
Chloe wasn’t as arrogant as she had been just now. Placing her hands on her knees, she behaved like
a proper lady.
“I had something to talk to my daughter about.”
Ethan’s voice wasn’t loud, and his tone was steady as well. His well-defined hands took the cups,
rinsing them thoroughly. His movements were elegant and graceful.
“Ms. Parker, you can make as much fuss as you’d like. Young people like us have no right to intervene.
Still…”
He placed the cups firmly on the table, producing a loud sound. Ethan stared at Chloe. “Isn’t it
inappropriate for you to cause trouble at my company?”
Chloe could feel the majestic air of a higher-up coming from him. She gulped, having never thought
that a younger person could be so powerful.
“Ethan, I’m doing this for your sake. I know that Liv has been pestering you all this while. She has
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmalready gotten divorced from you, but she’s still sticking to you.
“You’re about to be engaged to Marina, so I was just trying to help you.”
Olivia was furious. She was about to say something when Ethan spoke up before she did. “Ms. Parker,
I think you’ve misunderstood something.
Ethan placed the cup in front of her. “Ever since the beginning, I’ve been the one pestering your
daughter.”
His words were like an invisible slap delivered to Chloe’s face.

For a long while, Chloe was stunned. She stuttered as she said, “How can this be?
“I heard that you two had a rocky relationship. You two are divorced, too. You even have a child with
Marina. I thought …”
Ethan replied, “Ms. Parker, sometimes, the truth differs from what you see. Moreover, all those are just
rumors. I can’t interfere in your family matters, but I should remind you about something.
“She’s your biological daughter. Why would you believe your stepdaughter instead of listening to your
biological daughter?”
