Evidently, Marina hadn’t expected Olivia to retaliate. Just like that, her new hairdo was ruined. Exasperated, she screamed, ” You little bitch! What have you done? No one would dare to do this to me!”
As her face was plastered with batter, Marina couldn’t see where Olivia was after the latter had retreated.
Grabbing at the air blindly, Marina tried to seize hold of her. Sensing movement, she lunged forward, only to step on the batter, slip, and fall to the ground.
“No one has done this to me before either, Marina. You aren’t the only one who has been pampered their whole life. You can’t just ruin my hair as you please.”
Taking full advantage of the situation, Olivia slapped Marina hard before stomping on her a few times. “This is for my dead child! This is for my dead marriage!”
“Agh, I’ll kill you, you little bitch! Help me, you silly fools! Why are you doing nothing?” Marina was infuriated at being physically assaulted by Olivia.
Meanwhile, the only maid in the kitchen was frozen in shock. By the time the other maids arrived to rescue Marina, Olivia was holding a sharp knife.
“Stay right there!”
Since her face was still covered with batter, Marina couldn’t open her eyes. However, she could feel something cold against
her neck
“If you move an inch, I’ll kill you!”
Marina was utterly shocked. She’d never imagined that Olivia, whom she’d bullied in the past, would suddenly go berserk
Gulping, Marina said, “If you dare to hurt me, Ethan won’t spare you!”
Sneering, Olivia answered, “He never spared me to begin with. Marina, why must you always take everything from me? You even want to take away Fordham residence when I have done nothing to offend you.
“If you keep this up, I’ll just end things right now.”
With that, Olivia brought the knife closer, causing Marina to let out shrill cries.
“Stop it! You’ll be dead meat if you kill me!”
“Well, I won’t be alive for much longer. Trading your life for mine isn’t too big of a sacrifice. I don’t have a lofty, esteemed life
like you do.
“Since my life is in ruins, I don’t see why I shouldn’t end it all right now and take you with me.”
Shivering in fright, Marina cried, “S–stop!”
Olivia sighed, asking, “What other choice do I have? I just want my possessions back. Yet you take the things I work so hard for away from me so easily. Not only that, but you’re determined to destroy them too. Since I have nothing left, you’re coming
with me.”
“It’s just Fordham residence! Y–you can have it back!”
Olivia had prepared more ways to torment Marina, but the latter had folded so quickly. Given Olivia’s unusual, erratic behavior, Marina was truly afraid that she would hurt her with the knife.
“Why should I trust you? You could always go back on your word, and I wouldn’t have a chance to do this again.”
Marina thought to herself, “Do this again?”
Hurriedly, she explained, “I’ll make a call right away to cancel my application. I’ll transfer the deed for Forham residence to you. If you don’t believe me, we can get lawyers to notarize this agreement.”
Softly, Olivia answered, “Do you think I have no leverage against you? I’ve only been trying to be civil all along”
