Chapter 1
By the time Olivia Maxwell regained consciousness, it was the morning after. She walked along the main road in a daze, and a single, scorching hot tear rolled down her face unexpectedly. Yesterday was her birthday. At first, she was going to meet up with her fiancé, Hugo Gray, for a date. However, she unexpectedly ran into him while he was cheating on her with her stepsister. At that moment, the only thought that ran through her mind wasn't to make a scene and question them with the only remaining shred of dignity she had left. She decided instead to give them a taste of their own medicine-an eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth. I'm going to get my revenge! I'm going to make them pay for this dearly!
In the beginning, she thought that everything had come to an end with that. However, she realized two months later that she was pregnant! Olivia felt cold all over as she stared at her stepsister standing in front of her. At the same time, her stepsister's mocking expression stabbed into her heart painfully.
Anna Maxwell pretended to be shocked. "Olivia, weren't you still dating Hugo two months ago? How could you do something like this to him?"
Olivia stared at Anna and sneered, "Aren't you ashamed of what you did? Besides, whatever happens between Hugo and I is none of your business!" At the time, she only said that she wanted to break up and did not say anything about their disgusting cheating to preserve their dignity. However, she did not expect Anna to act so shamelessly. How dare she mention the events from back then?!
A flash of guilt flitted across Anna's eyes. She had not expected Olivia to bring up the truth in front of their father right now. Thus, she pointed at Olivia and raised her voice, "Don't talk nonsense! That night, you stayed out all night. Then, you broke up with Hugo the very next day. The only reason I agreed to take your place and become Hugo's fiancée is for the sake of a successful union between our families. Even if you don't understand my pain, you shouldn't wrong me by saying such words!" As she spoke, her tears fell freely down her face.
Olivia's stepmother, Amy Davis, had been sitting by the side. Just then, she hugged Anna and said in displeasure, "Olivia, you shouldn't speak without evidence! You might not care for your own reputation, but your sister is still young. How is she going to hold her head up in society if you ruin her reputation?!"
Olivia was so mad that she burst out laughing, "I saw the two of them together myself, do I need to obtain the surveillance footage for you?"
Slap. As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she felt a slap hitting her hard across the face. It left half her face feeling numb from the force. Clutching at her cheek, she looked toward the man who hit her in disbelief. "Dad, why did you hit me?"
"Your sister sacrificed so much for this family! On the other hand, look at you! How dare you shame your sister? You've embarrassed me so much; I can't even hold my head up anymore! I'm warning you, Olivia Maxwell. Go to the hospital now, or you will be disowned from the Maxwell Family!"
Olivia's breath hitched, and she felt a wave of tears threatening to fall. Even so, her voice was strangely firm, "I will not go to the hospital to get an abortion!"
"Then get out of here! From today onward, you are no longer my daughter!" Henry Maxwell shouted furiously while pointing in the direction of the door.
Olivia glanced at Henry, then glanced at the mother and daughter pair, who were sitting on the sofa and gloating over her distress. After that, she spun around coldly and walked away resolutely.
"Sigh. Dad, you can't mean to chase Olivia out for real... Olivia, wait! Don't go!" Anna suddenly put on an anxious expression and chased after her.
In the middle of the yard, only the two sisters remained. Thus, Anna dropped her pretense and crowed delightedly. "Did you have a good time that night, Olivia?"
Olivier paused for a moment and narrowed her eyes. "You planned for that person to be there?"
In return, Anna let out a peal of wild laughter. "I went through a lot of trouble to let you experience some fun. I spent more than 10,000 on that! It was that beggar who lived under the overpass. You know him, right? He was so happy to hear about my surprise for you. How was it, Olivia?"
Upon hearing those words, Olivia curled her hands into tight fists, and her anger led to a rush of blood to the head. She didn't want to hold back anymore, thus, she reached out and slapped Anna across the face!
"Ah!" Anna did not imagine that Olivia would lash out so suddenly. Therefore, she was completely caught off guard. After receiving two slaps in a row, she fell to the ground from the impact. However, it wasn't enough for Olivia to vent out all her hatred for Anna. Hence, she grabbed Anna by the hair and pulled her off the ground!
"Anna, I am your sister! Not only did you snatch my boyfriend away, but you also used such underhanded methods on me from behind the scenes! How shameless can you be?!"
Unfortunately, she felt somebody pulling her away forcefully from behind just as she was tearing Anna apart, causing her to lose her balance and fall backward! Right before she fell to the ground, she unconsciously covered her belly to protect it.
Henry roared furiously, "What are you doing?!"
Anna immediately threw herself into Henry's arms, crying aggrievedly. "Dad, I just wanted to give Olivia some advice. Not only did she not appreciate my efforts, but she also accused me of snatching Hugo from her! Moreover, she also accused me and Mom of snatching you away and taking over the Maxwell Family! She told me and Mom to f*ck off!"
Thus, Henry lightly patted Anna on the back, comforting her. "You are my daughter, and I officially and legally married your mother. I won't let anybody drive you away!"
Olivia curled her lips mockingly. Then, she got off the ground with difficulty and slowly walked to the door while holding her belly. There is nothing left in this family for me anymore.
