chapter 22 Five hundred thousand, leave my daughter

Harper Murong was sent back home, and Olivia Xia returned to the small apartment with Xavier Si. Inside the small apartment, the room's decoration and layout had all been completed, and the whole place looked refreshed. Olivia Xia nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, young man. Do you have any money left on your card? If you're short on cash, let me know." Xavier Si: "Do I really look like a kept man?" "Not much spent; don't worry," Xavier Si replied lazily before silently heading to the guest room. That night was calm, and both of them slept well. Early the next morning, Olivia Xia was awakened by a phone call. It was from the caretaker she had recently hired for her mother, who informed her that Tyrone Xia had gone to the hospital and was currently arguing with Sofia Yue. Those people just wouldn't give up! Olivia Xia quickly got ready and rushed out of her room. At that moment, Xavier Si had finished getting dressed and asked, his bewitching face displaying a hint of curiosity, "Where are you going?" "To the hospital!" Olivia Xia replied and tried to leave, but Xavier Si held her hand. "I'll take you." Olivia Xia raised an eyebrow, "You have a car?" Didn't he lend his car to someone to drive a pretty girl home yesterday? Xavier Si gave a seductive smile, "You've been complaining about me borrowing cars from friends, right? This time, I'm driving my own." In the underground garage, when Olivia Xia got into the ordinary-looking, even somewhat old-fashioned Volkswagen, she couldn't help but give Xavier Si another look. "You look so young; why do you like to drive such an old-fashioned car? It doesn't match your image at all." "Limited economic capacity, making do with this one. When I become wealthy, I'll get you a luxury car you like," Xavier Si said with a wicked smile, looking flirtatious. If she liked it, it would cost at least a million... Olivia Xia raised her eyebrows slightly, not wanting to discourage him, "Sure, I look forward to that day." Compared to a luxury car, Olivia Xia felt more comfortable sitting in this old-fashioned car. After all, a luxury car belonged to someone else, while this one was hers, which was reassuring. Little did she know that this car had been specially customized, right down to the Volkswagen emblem, and the price was not much cheaper than the luxury car Xavier Si had driven before... Listening to the engine's purring sound, Olivia Xia smiled, "This car has good performance, doesn't it?" Xavier Si's long, narrow eyes revealed a hint of amusement, "Yes, a friend who's into car modification helped me with it." Olivia Xia chuckled, "I didn't realize you had so many talented friends." Xavier Si smiled, "Birds of a feather." Twenty minutes later, Olivia Xia rushed out of the elevator and headed to the door of Sofia Yue's hospital room. She could hear Tyrone Xia's angry voice from inside. "Sofia Yue, what are you thinking? Do you know how disgusting our precious daughter has become? She was using the allowance I gave her to support a man, and now that I've cut her off, she's looking for a man to support her. Where did she get the money to renovate her room? And that medical bill of over a million? All paid by men." Sofia Yue spat, "Pah, Tyrone Xia, I haven't asked you where my medical expenses went! How dare you insult my daughter?" "Insult her? If she dares to do it, why should I be afraid to say it? Sofia Yue, don't be fooled by her false appearance. She's no longer the obedient girl she used to be." "Talking like you're still the same honest person you once were. You can abandon your wife and daughter, but there's nothing wrong with her becoming sharp to protect herself." Tyrone Xia was furious, "So you're in such a hurry to marry our daughter off to the Si family for her sake? Let me tell you, if she doesn't marry into the Si family, her life is ruined." "You're so eager to marry off our daughter to the Si family, is it really for her benefit? Hah, Tyrone Xia, do you think I don't know? You forced our daughter to marry into the Si family just to get the Si family's high dowry and a billion-dollar investment." The conspiracy was exposed, and Tyrone Xia was not upset but rather righteous, saying, "My actions, aren't they for the company's sake? We co-founded the company, and over these years, how much have I sacrificed for it? Besides, the situation Olivia Xia is in right now is so dire. I've told you before that her marrying into the Si family is not just for the company but also for her future." What a great concern for her future! Sofia Yue coldly chuckled, "Since the Si family is so great, don't you still have another daughter? Why are you so eager to let your elder daughter steal Olivia Xia's man, forcing Olivia Xia into marriage? Is this something a father can do?" Tyrone Xia was so angry he couldn't speak, and he looked at Sofia Yue's cold and stern face, infuriated and ready to strike her. Olivia Xia burst into the room, grabbed Tyrone Xia's hand, and confronted him with a stern face, "You dare lay a finger on my mom?" "You, you..." Tyrone Xia's face turned beet red, "Are you rebelling?" "The one rebelling here is you," Olivia Xia raised her chin slightly, "Tyrone Xia, don't force me to expose all the dirty things you've done behind my mom's back these years." "I am your father, how can you talk like that?" Tyrone Xia yelled. Olivia Xia coldly smiled, "My father died long ago when he brought a mistress into our home while my mom was ill." She shook off Tyrone Xia's hand, turned around, and consoled Sofia Yue, "Mom, I'm not a child anymore. I can make my own decisions, and in the future, don't get involved with those chaotic people who affect your mood." Sofia Yue sighed deeply, "Alright." The chaotic Tyrone Xia, furious, smiled mockingly, "What's this, Olivia Xia? Do you have a sponsor backing you, daring to challenge me? Well, you'd better pray that your sponsor will pamper you just like your father did." "What my father couldn't do, there's no need to expect it from others," Olivia Xia glanced at Tyrone Xia, her arms crossed, "I'll say it again. If someone from the Si family is to be married, it should be your elder daughter. Don't bother my mom in the future, or else, don't blame me for being impolite." When Tyrone Xia left in anger, Xavier Si happened to be coming in with breakfast. The two of them met at the door. Tyrone Xia stopped, "You're the hotel employee, Olivia Xia's husband?" He had seen a few pictures of Olivia Xia in the hotel on Landry's phone that night when Olivia Xia returned to China. Although there were only a few photos, all of them were of her side profile, but this man in front of him was exceptionally good-looking. Even if he saw him only once, Tyrone Xia could recognize him. Xavier Si nodded indifferently, "Mr. Xia." Tyrone Xia snorted, "Let me tell you, my daughter's card has been cut off by me. She has no money left to support you." With that, he took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Xavier Si, "Here's 500,000. Immediately divorce Olivia Xia and bring me the divorce certificate, and I'll give you another 500,000." Seeing Xavier Si's alluring smile, with a hint of mockery in his narrow eyes, Tyrone Xia grew even more irritated, "What? Olivia Xia can give you more? Hah, she's sold herself for money; don't pretend you don't know." "1 million, it's the salary you've earned from working in the hotel for ten years. Don't be ungrateful." Naturally, Olivia Xia overheard this conversation. She lazily watched with her arms crossed, curious about how Xavier Si would respond. He just handed the card back to Tyrone Xia, "Mr. Xia, you should keep this money for the company's crisis. Otherwise, you might not make it to your daughter's wedding, and you'll go bankrupt." Tyrone Xia's phone happened to ring at that moment, and Xavier Si raised an eyebrow, "Mr. Xia, aren't you going to answer your phone?" Tyrone Xia's face looked rather unpleasant as he picked up the phone, and on the other end, there was Mia Zhao's excited voice, "Tyrone Xia, something's wrong with the company. You need to come back immediately!"
