chapter 47 You are worse than trash

Emma's reputation had already gone down the drain. Although she might be able to leave the police station soon after being arrested, the outlook of the Xia Family's future was not optimistic. The Xia Family has completely offended the Si Family because of Olivia. If Steven married Emma, not only would he not benefit from this marriage, but he would also be implicated in all sorts of disasters. However, marrying Olivia was a different story. Judd mused, "I have no idea how she does it but she knows Meryl Chu and is working at LM now." LM was a famous multinational design company whose employees were all talented. Olivia joined the company right after graduation and must have some outstanding talent. The first time Judd spotted Olivia and Meryl together, he knew Olivia was not ordinary. After all, the Xia Family's schemes against her failed after she returned to the country. On the contrary, Olivia became stronger amid the adversity, and even Zoey agreed to do an operation on Sofia. Of course, if Sofia had not pestered Steven about when he would marry Olivia, the Lu Family would not have thought of giving up Emma and choosing Olivia. But when Sofia asked her question, a new plan formed in the Lu Family's minds. Steven and Olivia used to be an item, so Olivia must still have feelings for Steven. If Steven chose Olivia now, would everything be different? Once these thoughts appeared, they couldn't shake it loose. They probed Sofia and ensured she did not remember what happened before. Then, they discuss the marriage with Sofia confidently. They were sure that Olivia would consider her mom's circumstances, for Sofia was weak after undergoing surgery, and that she wouldn't expose their lies right away. As long as Olivia didn't uncover their lies, they had the chance to negotiate terms with Olivia by using Sofia's condition as a threat. And then, they would get Steven to get intimate with Olivia. Once that happened and Olivia was pregnant, everything would be solved. And so, they waited for Olivia to arrive and compromise on their terms. But who knew she would directly accuse them of being liars when she came? "Olivia..." Sofia was a little worried, listening to the conversation between Olivia and the Lu Family. She tugged on Olivia, "W-What's going on? What happened between Steven and you?" "Mom, you are a little confused because you're sick. Eat your medicine, close your eyes and rest for a while. When you wake up, I will tell you everything, okay?" Olivia explained and passed a pill for Sofia to consume. Sofia originally wanted to say something, but looking at Olivia's firm eyes, some strange memories flashed across her mind. Inexplicably, she nodded. Sofia closed her eyes, and within minutes, she was asleep. "Olivia, what did you feed Aunt Sofia? "Steven stepped forward excitedly, but Olivia pushed him away. "Stay away from my mom!" Olivia voiced frostily as she stood before Sofia. "My mom is not feeling well and she needs to rest. Please go outside." "Olivia, you… It's a misunderstanding regarding what happened between Steven and you…" Xena approached Olivia, wanting to speak further, but Olivia moved away from her. She looked at them coldly. "Please don't disturb my mom as she rests." Without a choice left, the Lu Family left the ward with darkened expressions. Just then, Dean Zhao and Dr. Zhang rushed over. Olivia briefly recounted Sofia's condition and told them to check on her mom. After that, she left the ward as well. Meanwhile, Steven was still lingering outside. He lowered his head and walked up to her when he spotted Olivia. "Olivia, I wronged you!" Olivia crossed her arms before her chest as she stared at the man frostily. "I didn't keep my promise and gave up on you easily. But… you fooled around with men shamelessly while being abroad all these years, and I find that hard to accept. I kept trying to convince myself, telling myself not to overthink the situation because you most probably have run into some difficulties, but you don't reply my messages for three months or sometimes, half a year. Do you know how upset I was?" "We are a couple, and of course, I will be insecure because it's a long-distance relationship. You were always missing in action, so I was always worried about you. Besides, you should consider that you have a boyfriend, and think of my feelings even if you need to fulfil your sexual desires!" "I admit that it was indeed my fault that I got together with Emma. Since we both made mistakes, why can't we try to forgive each other and let the mistakes stay in the past? After all, we once loved each other so much..." Olivia retched twice, even before Steven finished speaking. She waved her hand mindlessly, signaling Steven to stop. "Please shut up. I'm afraid I'm going to vomit if you keep talking." "How did he manage to say such disgusting words so calmly?" Olivia thought. She felt like she would puke the breakfast she had eaten earlier. As it was prepared by Xavier lovingly, she didn't want that to happen. "Olivia, please don't joke around." Steven's face darkened. "I'm serious. I was not only moved by your enthusiasm, but was also attracted by your passion and liveliness when we got together. If you hadn't change after going overboard, I wouldn't have been seduced by Emma." "Do you know how disappointed I was when I went to country Y for you, only to see you being carried out of the dormitory by a man?" Steven smiled sarcastically. "On that day, I had sex with your sister after returning home and getting drunk. That was when she told me the stories of you with various men, and I realized how foolish I was." "So, since I'm such a bitch, why did you abandon your dream woman and came over to tell me these things?" Olivia mocked the man rudely without bothering to explain herself. She didn't know Steven had gone to look for her if he hadn't mentioned it. She thought, "Is he talking about the time that I went back to the dormitory after being wounded during training and had a high fever? God knows I almost lost my life then. As my boyfriend, he showed up, not bothering to comfort me or ask the reason. Instead, he left in anger. This is so ironic!" "Olivia, please be serious! I'm telling you this because I can't bear to see your mom being sad over what happened to us! She had finally underwent the surgery, and if her health is affected because of us, I can never live with myself." "Besides, you chose to marry a random man instead of ending up with Tim. Isn't that because you're still in love with me? I know what you're thinking. It was all my fault. Let's be happy together in the future, okay? As long as you treat me sincerely and take good care of our family, I won't care about what happened in the past. "But I care." Olivia smiled mischievously as she sized him up. "Do you think I'm a trash can? A man who has been with Emma before is worse than trash in my eyes."
