Chapter 269
Hillary’s smile turned stiff when she heard Ana speak. She tried to keep her smile. “I came to see Olivia.”
Ana glanced at her with suspicion. “I know, but shouldn’t her father be the one visiting? Why are you here instead?”
Hillary was stunned again, but she didn’t show it and just stared at her.
Ana seemed not to care about being rude.
Hillary wasn’t a pushover, though. She had resented Ana for years because of what she had done to Naomi, and she didn’t want to stay quiet anymore.
“Olivia might not be my daughter by birth, but she’s lived with us since she was a teenager. We treat her like our own, and she even has our last name. So, why can’t I visit her? I’m not here to cause trouble. I just want to see if she and the baby are okay.”
Ana, not really listening to Hillary’s heartfelt explanation, just wanted to know, “What last name do you think the baby should have?”
Ana was tough to deal with. She stated, “The baby will have the last name Harris, not Jones. You can see Olivia, but remember, your family won’t decide things for the baby.”
Hillary was shocked and held onto the couch to steady herself.
Seeing Hillary’s reaction, Ana continued, “Thank you for bringing Olivia into our family, and now a grandchild. I appreciate Olivia and the baby. But if you’re thinking of taking the baby for your sick daughter, think again.”
“What?” Hillary was furious, jumping up to confront Ana, breathing hard..
Ana remained calm but looked cold as she stared back at Hillary. Her face showed clear
disdain and disgust.
“You’re going too far, Ana! Tyler has to agree to this!” Hillary couldn’t understand how Ana could claim the baby as a Harris. In her mind, the baby belonged to their family.
Just then, Olivia called out to her from upstairs, “Aunt Hillary!”
Hillary looked up to see Olivia standing there. Olivia thought they both looked terrible, but she hadn’t caught their conversation. She only heard the part about needing Tyler’s
agreement.
Tyler stood next to her, watching silently.
Ana stood up, acting normal, and told Olivia, “Your Aunt Hillary is here to see you. Come have a chat.”
After saying this, Ana left.
Tyler’s face turned grim after witnessing the tension between Hillary and Ana.
Hillary, wanting to avoid any embarrassment, quickly cooled her anger and smiled. “I’m here to see Olivia, Tyler.”
He simply replied, “Olivia is here,”
Olivia felt oddly nervous, not knowing why Hillary had come suddenly.
Since Olivia shouldn’t be walking around much, Tyler asked the maid to escort Hillary upstairs.
“Please follow me,” said the maid. Hillary then went with her to meet Olivia upstairs.
When Hillary arrived, Tyler said to Olivia, “You two haven’t seen each other in a while. Go and catch up in the room.”
