Chapter 20
After seeing Madam Sophie rush out like crazy to look for Donald, Maggie hurriedly pulled her mother back and shouted at her anxiously, "Mom, would you please calm down? The person who posted this video has ill intentions.Perhaps, he just wants us to see us fight amongst ourselves!"
Her mother did not seem to listen.
Instead, she shook Maggie off her path.
"Get out of my way, child.I have to punish your father to death.He cheated on us! I am his wife and your father still has the guts to cheat on me!"
Madam Sophie exclaimed but Maggie immediately blocked the way again, her father’s room.
Desperate to stop her mother's anger.
"I know, I know!"
Madam Sophie already had suffered a lot of pain after she married Donald for so many years.
This man had always been honest and had done nothing wrong throughout their relationship.
But his actions were unreasonable.
He already decided his fate and clearly, he was looking for a woman and satisfaction aside from his wife.
"I repeat, stay out of the way, Maggie." Maggie shook her head.
Her eyes filled with sadness and her heart filled with hatred.
Despite that, she was more than eager to put her emotions aside just to stop her parents from arguing with one another.
"Mom, would you please use your brain for a second? What good would it do to our family if things don't end well? Didn't you say earlier that this was someone else's fault?"
Unfortunately, Madam Sophie didn't listen to her daughter regardless of how hard she tried to convince her.
She was so furious that her entire body trembled.
Maggie didn’t stop there.
She pleaded to her mother once again, "Please? Just try to think of a way on how to take the money from him.If Dad has the money, it will definitely ruin our plan.But if he doesn't, Dad can't no longer use the money, can he?"
When Madam Sophie heard the explanation from her daughter, she looked at her and thought that her daughter had a point.
If Donald refused to take the initiative to give her the money, she could secretly transfer all the money away from him by any means.
After thinking of another plan, Madam Sophie's rage suddenly disappeared.
When Madam Sophie went to bed, she pretended to ask her husband tentatively, "Where did you put all the money? You cannot reveal any clues during this time around.Otherwise, it wouldn't be good to provoke your big brother's suspicions."
Instead of receiving an answer, Donald replied to her shortly, "I know’ Then he turned around and went to sleep.
"That's it?" she asked, faking a smile.
She could not believe him.
Regardless of how Madam Sophie greeted him, he had no intention of spilling a thing.
Fortunately, Maggie's comforting words had worked.
Madam Sophie tried to endure her husband this time.
She listened to her daughter very well but not until midnight when Donald's snoring voice sounded like thunder.
Madam Sophie quietly got up and searched through Donald's wallet.
After searching for a long time, she found out that no matter which accounts she opened, the balance was only a few hundred thousand.
She asked herself, “What about the 60 million?”
Only at this moment when Madam Sophie truly panicked.
She could tolerate men cheating on her.
But if her husband gave all that amount of money to the woman he slept with last night, she would never tolerate it.
Thinking of it made Madam Sophie wake up her husband, who was sleeping beside her.
"Where did all the money go? Did you give it all to those little bitches you have around you? I've been with you for so many years, and that's how you pay me? You selfish bastard!"
Donald was suddenly awakened from his slumber when he received several slaps on his face from his wife.
He was annoyed and raised his hand to slap Madam Sophie's face in return.
"How dare you hit me?"
The next morning when Olivia went downstairs for breakfast, she heard the servant talking about what happened at the Peterson's last night.
It was said that they were so loud.
Donald and his wife had a conflict for some reasons and the fight between the two of them in the middle of the night was so tragic.
They grabbed at each other's hair and had swollen faces.
They were unwilling to let go of each other, as if they were enemies.
Thanks to the fact that her father, Master Langston, hadn't returned home from work and her mother Madam Enya was peacefully sleeping last night.
Olivia couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.
She could now finally be at ease knowing that there was no longer room for anxiety attacks.
She wasn't surprised at all.
Instead, she remained calm as usual and greeted her uncle Donald who just came out of the room with a smile on her face.
"Good morning, Uncle!"
"Morning...but it seemed like her uncle was not feeling well.
He ignored the servants who kept on chit-chatting about what happened to them last night.
But seeing him like this, scratching the back of his head was truly shocking and unbelievable.
Olivia forced herself to hold back her laughter.
She cleared her throat.
And when she noticed that her uncle was about to go out, she immediately took a sip on her hot milk and casually said, "I didn't buy a bag the other day.Would you please buy one for me, Uncle?"
Without waiting for Donald to refuse, Olivia already handed over her card and said, "I'll pay for it so you won't get in trouble Uncle." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
In the past, Donald would have refused.
But this time, he agreed because Olivia had always been generous, there must be a lot of money in this card.
After Donald agreed, Madam Sophie also came out of the room.
The moment the couple met, they were still like enemies.
Madam Sophie was not willing to give up and chased after him with a scratch and wound.
Olivia slowly ate her breakfast.
Suddenly, Maggie's questioning voice came from behind her.
"Did you do it?" Maggie asked.
Olivia was puzzled, keeping her vibe innocently and chill.
"What did I do? Did you come to scold me early in the morning?"
Maggie stared at Olivia's face for a long time, but couldn't find any clues.
That could only mean that the video had nothing to do with Olivia.
Maggie nodded before letting out a sigh of relief.
‘I'm glad that Olivia didn't know about the money we swallowed.
She wouldn't be this calm if she knew: Then she smiled and answered, "My apologies, Sister"
"Okay?"
Olivia wiped her mouth, too lazy to pay attention to her.
"By the way, Leonard asked me to go out with him.Do you want to go with me?"
Maggie asked with a shy expression on her face.
This was a clear showing off.
Olivia cannot believe what she had heard from her.
‘She's about to go out on a date with someone else's fiancé.But with me?’ But instead of refusing, Olivia remained calm.
Smiling as usual, "No, you go for it and try to cook some raw rice for today”
