Chapter 595
Elizabeth's name flashed on the screen over and over again.
Olivia looked at the name. After a while, she answered.
"Mom."
"I'm at H City Station. Come and pick me up right away!"
Elizabeth hung up.
Olivia stood there with a slight frown.
She didn't call her family when she came back. How did her mom know she was in H City?
Olivia looked at the time. It was ten past six.
She called Elizabeth back and the phone call was put through, "Mom..."
"Don't talk so much nonsense. Come here quickly!"
Before Olivia could finish, Elizabeth interrupted her and hung up again.
Olivia frowned even more.
Max squatted at Olivia's feet and sensed that something's wrong with her mood. It barked, "Woof! Woof!"
Olivia looked down at it. "I'm going out for a while. Be good at home, okay?"
"Woof, Woof!"
Olivia went upstairs to change her clothes, took the car keys, and drove to the station.
There was more than one car in Brayden's villa.
She quickly drove out of the villa.
As she drove away, another car parked not far away followed.
An hour later, she stopped at the station. Olivia got out of the car and called.
"Mom, where are you?"
Olivia looked around and walked into the station.
"Here!"
Hearing a loud voice, Olivia looked over.
At a noodle restaurant on her left, Elizabeth was sitting there, having noodles.
Olivia hung up and walked over. "Mom, where's dad?"
"He's at home."
Elizabeth put down her chopsticks and shouted, "Checkout!"
Then she looked at Olivia and said, "Pay for me."
Olivia took out her wallet and paid.
Elizabeth looked at the cards and the money in her wallet, and clicked her tongue.
"You don't know to show filial respect to the old and you are heartless since you earn so much."
Olivia paused and closed her wallet.
"Let's go."
Elizabeth grunted and walked out.
Olivia opened the door and let her in.
Olivia sat in the driver's seat and locked the door, but instead of driving, she looked at Elizabeth. "Mom, what's the reason for your sudden visit to the H City?"
Elizabeth couldn't have come for no reason. There must be something wrong.
Elizabeth didn't answer her, but looked at the car, and soon her eyes fell on the logo on the steering wheel.
Cayenne.
Her face darkened at the sight of it.
"Good for you! You look decent with the luxury car and designer clothes but set aside your family, who managed to raise you for so many years. How could I have an ungrateful child like you?" Olivia didn't say anything. She turned to look ahead with the calm expression.
Elizabeth didn't get the answer from Olivia, so she was angrier. But somehow she suppressed her anger and crossed her arms, and said, "Buy me a villa in the C City and get me a car of the same model as yours."
Olivia's voice was low. "I'll book you a ticket back."
Olivia picked up her phone to book a ticket for Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was so angry that she couldn't control herself anymore. She grabbed Olivia's phone and threw it on the bottom of the car. Elizabeth stepped on her phone as she said, "Damn, what are you doing!" Olivia sat there and looked at crazy Elizabeth, with no expression on her face.
Olivia's phone was crushed by Elizabeth. Elizabeth looked at Olivia. "How do you make your call now!"
"I'm telling you. If you don't buy me a villa and a luxury car, I'll go to the media and expose your scandal. Let's see can you maintain your fame as a renowned designer!"
Olivia understood when hearing her words.
"I have resigned. If you want to expose it, just go. But if it affects AK Company's reputation and makes it sue you, then you'll have to pay a lot."
"How dare you!"
"Mom, I did what I said when I left. If you continue to make a fuss like this, I won't stop you, but if it affects Sydney, it's not worth it."
Olivia looked at Elizabeth. Her voice and expression were very calm as if she were talking about something unimportant.
Elizabeth's expression changed.
"Sydney should be graduating soon. We are sisters. You hurt one and you hurt us both. Mom, think about it."
With a click, the door was unlocked and Olivia looked at the yellow streetlights ahead.
At night, the lights were covered with a layer of fog, making the lights seem to be warmer.
But Olivia didn't feel warm. She only felt that the sky and the temperature was still the same, not changing for anyone.
Elizabeth's expression changed again and again. She hesitated, but could not say a word.
In the car behind them, the people inside looked at the car in front of them with deep dark eyes.
Elizabeth sat in the car with thoughts running through her mind. After a while, her mood stabilized.
She looked at Olivia with resentment in her eyes, but a smile appeared on her face.
She held Olivia's hand and smiled apologetically. "Olivia, you know, I'm uneducated and I didn't mean to make you mad. Don't be angry with me."
"I'm just impatient. Look, Sydney will graduate next year. She has been out alone for so many years and is helpless. She must be coming back. She only has you as her own sister. When she comes back, if you don't help her, who else can?"Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Olivia looked at Elizabeth. "She's my sister. I'll help if I can."
Elizabeth patted her own thigh. "That's it!"
"When she comes back, she can't be living in our little county, can she? She has to come to a big city to have a better future. You don't want Sydney to be paid a small salary in her whole life, right?"
Olivia said, "Mom, whether you are a graduate, postgraduate, or a doctor both at home and abroad, you have to rely on yourself to work. Of course, connections are very important. If there's someone who can help you, you'll take fewer detours. When Sydney comes back, I'll talk to her about what she wants to do. I can help her, but the rest requires her own effort."
"Yes! That's it! It's great that Sydney has a sister like you, but it's just..."
Elizabeth wished to speak but stopped on a second thought
Olivia looked at Elizabeth and waited for her to continue.
Seeing Olivia's expression, Elizabeth said, "Isn't there no place for Sydney to live when she comes back? You're married, and it's definitely not convenient for Sydney to live with you and your husband, so I think you can buy Sydney a house and a car. This would be much more convenient for her."
Before Olivia could say anything, Elizabeth quickly said, "Don't worry. Sydney is a child who knows to be grateful. She will remember how you have helped her. When she earns a lot of money in the future, can she forget you? No!"
"Olivia, let me tell you that Sydney..."
"I don't have any money."
The smile on Elizabeth's face froze.
Olivia continued, "I made some money at AK Company, but I gave it all to Brayden. We owed him five million, and I have to pay it back."
"Well... Why do you give it to him since you are married? Are you crazy?!"
Elizabeth threw Olivia's hand away and trembled with anger.
Why shall she marry Brayden if she wanted to pay the money back?
It was better to marry a big boss and got as much money as she could.
"I don't want you to have no dignity in the Jameses."
"Mom, you don't have to talk about this anymore. Ans don't think about the house and the car either. Sydney is an adult. She needs to earn whatever she wants. If everything is arranged by her family for her, it's not to help her, it's to harm her."
Sydney had never called Olivia since she went abroad. It wasn't that Sydney didn't recognize her as a sister. It was that she disliked Olivia for being uneducated and at the bottom of society. Sydney felt ashamed to have such a sister.
Before Olivia's divorce, Olivia would call Sydney and care about her, but after the divorce, Olivia did not contact Sydney.
In the past few years, they had hardly contacted each other.
It wasn't that Olivia didn't want to contact her sister. It was that her broken heart couldn't stand any hurt anymore.
Olivia would treat who was kind to her well. But if there was a person who treated her badly, she also would not show excessive passion to him/her.
"Olivia, you have no conscience!"
Hearing Olivia's words, Elizabeth's expression changed again and she was out of control.
"That's your sister. What's wrong that I ask you to help her?"
"It's not that you can't make money. You're earning money! You don't help your family members but outsiders when you earn money. How can I have a heartless child like you!"
Elizabeth said, hitting Olivia with her hand.
Olivia's lips parted slightly, wanting to say something, but she could not say anything.
In the car behind, the driver opened the door and said something to the person in the back seat.
