Chapter 9
When Olivia entered the house, she was still thinking about Bruce Tucker.Suddenly, a bold idea popped up in her mind. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Could it be because she looked at Galen a few more times? Everyone in LC City knew that Bruce and Galen were always together, and their relationship was extraordinary.
There were also rumors that Bruce Tucker was not that close to women.
‘Could it be...Those two are actually a couple?’ Olivia thought about it and felt that it was really possible.
This was fine.If she followed through with her plan, she could pretend to fall in love with him in the future.
After thinking it through, she walked into the villa in a light mood.
Just then, he accidentally heard Madam Sophie talking to her younger brother.
"Oscar, you're your father's only son” Madam Sophie said gently.
"Why won't he give you your family business in the future? Olivia is a girl, after all, and she will have an outsider's surname soon enough.Be careful, when the time comes, don't let your sister steal such a big family property from you..."
Oscar was playing with a Rubik's Cube on the sofa, while Madam Sophie kept on talking to him.
"What Auntie said is for your own good,’ Madam Sophie continued.
"You're still young and don't understand anything, but when you grow up, you'll know exactly that Auntie has good intentions."
Olivia leaned lazily against the door, a cold smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
‘Good intentions...But every sentence was provoking a rift between us siblings”
The funniest thing was that these were Madam Sophie's words when she was with Oscar, but would tell Olivia another thing when she was with her.
She could still remember that in her previous life.
Olivia said that the family business would always be her brother's, and after marrying Leonard Tubman, she would not be a Clements anymore, therefore she would have no shares in the company.
At that time, the Tubmans would definitely look down on her.
She was stupid and believed Madam Sophie's nonsense! For along time, she was angry and deliberately alienated herself from Oscar.
Madam Sophie's malicious comments were as damaging as a knife.
Just as Olivia was about to say something, Oscar raised his head on the sofa, his little face full of impatience.
"Is that all?" he asked.
"It's my turn to say this, then: firstly, I don't have any objections as to where my family assets go; secondly, my sister's great, so you don't have any right to say anything bad about her.'' He left as soon as he finished speaking.
Olivia could not help but think that those words were too mature for an eight-year-old child.
Madam Sophie looked like she was not finished yet...
What else could she probable say? Oscar suddenly turned around.The siblings’ faces were the same, a cunning smile on their lips.
"What Aunt Sophie said just now, I've recorded it” he said.
"I'll let my father hear it later."
‘A threat!’ Madam Sophie did not expect the little brat to actually oppose her! If Langston Clements heard this, he would definitely cuss her out of the house.
"Oscar...Auntie is just talking and playing with you.Why are you so serious?"
Madam Sophie smiled embarrassedly, but when she saw Olivia coming in from outside, she immediately shut her mouth Upon seeing his sister return, Oscar happily pulled Olivia upstairs.
"Sister, let's go.I'll show you something fun!"
"Alright."
The two siblings ignored Madam Sophie and went straight upstairs.
Upstairs, Olivia bent over to look at her younger brother and laughed.
"Did you really record it?" she asked.
Oscar shook his head.
"No, I just scared her!"
Even if he did, their father would not kick someone out of the house because of a recording.
Thinking of this, Oscar was still somewhat disappointed.
"They're so annoying,’’ he commented.
"They always talk bad about my sister.."
Olivia gently touched her younger brother's head and smiled as usual.
"Don't worry about them.Your big sister will take care of them.Trust me, okay?"
Her calm tone helped ease up his worries.
Oscar immediately nodded.
He could already feel that his sister was different from usual.
She was no longer as simple and naive as before, and she could clearly see through the Petersons' disguises.
He felt relieved seeing that Olivia's eyes were shining with a different light.
They talked for a while before Olivia got up and returned to her room.
When she reached it, she found that her door was open.
Apparently, someone was inside.
She frowned.
Her family knew that she did not like people entering her room and hated when people touched her things.
If the servants did not clean up randomly, who else would dare to barge in so blatantly? She already suspected who it was.
She pushed open the door, and sure enough, she saw Maggie sitting in front of her dressing mirror, fiddling with the precious and heavy jade bracelet in her box.
The bracelet was worn by Mrs.Tubman when she got engaged to her husband.
She said that it was a family heirloom from the Tubman family and only passed it on to the next daughter-in-law.
At that time, Olivia was naturally overjoyed.
She was afraid of bumping into her, so she was reluctant to wear it and kept it hidden as a treasure.
However, she had not expected Maggie to wear it around her wrist today.
Olivia stepped through the door.
"Get out,’’ she said coldly "Sister, why are you losing your temper? I'm just jealous."
Maggie raised her hand and looked at the crystal-clear jade bracelet on her wrist.
Suddenly, she giggled.
"I guess you must be very angry.You probably wants to hit me right now, right?"
"You think I won't dare?"
"You will?"
"But if I touch you, I might accidentally rip that bracelet."
Maggie admitted that she was jealous—incomparably jealous! Olivia only had Leonard as her fiancé because of her family background.
She had managed to make him hate Olivia to the extreme, but she did not expect her to upgrade to Bruce Tucker.
She went crazy with hatred! She knew that she should be calm.
But today, she had been ignored and splashed with sewage.
She was so angry she continued to provoke Olivia.
It was evident how precious this jade bracelet was, but she did not believe it.
Olivia would not really dare hit her, right? She was wrong.
Olivia dared.
The two slaps came too quickly.
Maggie was still immersed in her pride and did not regain her senses.
She felt a burning pain on her face.
"You...You dare hit me?"
Facing Maggie's disbelief, Olivia curled her lips and slapped her fiercely again.
"Maggie, you ran into my room and dared to touch my things.Now I dare to hit you."
Olivia would not back down from someone who came looking for a fight.
