Chapter 387
Tyler ascended the stairs promptly, while Olivia could only follow him.
Ana fell silent, standing and observing them.
As Olivia entered the room, Tyler stood in front of her, instructing, “Take a shower and go to bed.”
Clutching her dress, Olivia responded in a hoarse voice, “Okay…”
Tyler lingered there before eventually heading to the study three minutes later.
In that instant, Olivia felt her strength drain away. She headed to the bed, sinking down with a frown and shutting her eyes.
After the tough night had passed, Naomi repeatedly called Olivia, who remained in bed, unable to muster the courage to answer. Eventually, she ended the calls abruptly, desperate to silence the ringing.
Everything had changed.
Olivia knew she could never trust Naomi as she once had. However, she couldn’t bring herself to harm her. All she desired was to sever ties while waiting for the baby to come.
She’d leave by then.
She tightly grasped her phone.
Naomi wept in bed after Olivia ended the call. She had spent the night restless, with Darren and Hillary by her side.
Hillary told her, “Naomi, I’ll explain to Tyler myself that it was me who did it. Stop calling
Olivia.”
Naomi felt her heart racing and clutched her chest.
Hillary rushed to grab her. “Naomi!”
Fortunately, her heart calmed down soon. “Mom, get Olivia to forgive me.”
The thought consumed her.
Hillary was devastated to hear it. “She will forgive you. How could Olivia stay angry
with
you? If it wasn’t the truth, how would she be photographed? After all, you’re just helping her to be with the man she likes. Why can’t that be published?”
Naomi’s face drained of color, her breaths shallow from Hillary’s words. Suddenly, she seized her mother’s hand. “Prepare the car, Mom. I’m going to the Harrises.”
She was struggling to get up from the bed.
Hillary was shocked. “What are you doing, Naomi? How could you step out of the hospital?!”
Darren was frightened too. “That won’t do, Naomi. You must stay here.”
Naomi insisted, “I must apologize to Olivia. I want to! Let me go!”
She brushed their hands away and rose from the bed.
Hillary panicked. She knew Ana wanted Naomi dead, yet the latter was going to dig her own grave, especially right after the incident.
She stopped her with all of her might. “Naomi!”
But nobody could deter her. She had already left the bed, standing there trembling.
Ana came upstairs and entered Olivia’s room. She knew who called from her dense grip on her phone.
Since the baby had yet to arrive, it was natural that Naomi wouldn’t want to sever ties just yet. She would undoubtedly stay in touch with Olivia.
Ana approached her and said, “I’m sure you’ve seen her true colors by now.”
Ignoring Olivia’s reaction, Ana gazed into her eyes. “You’ve treated her with all your heart, yet she perceives it as a threat to her position. She wishes you harm. Trust me, if the roles were reversed, she would gladly witness your demise. That’s who she truly is.“
