Olivia walked toward Jacqueline. Awkwardness and guilt filled Leia when she noticed Olivia's presence. Olivia was her sister-in-law, but she drove the couple to a divorce with her bare hands. She even almost killed Olivia!
Biting her lip, she didn't know how to face Olivia.
Leia didn't have the courage to look Olivia in the eye. Silently, she stood in a corner while feeling uneasy. Olivia already did Leia a favor by sparing her life. Naturally, she wouldn't greet Leia.
Ignorance—that was Olivia's choice. She bypassed Leia to come to Jacqueline.
There were no obtrusive wounds on her. Olivia fixed her gaze on Jacqueline's fingertips, which were bleeding. Blood dripped onto the wooden floor, splattering into a striking red flower.
"What lowly methods. If you want to kill me, do it properly."
Olivia lowered her gaze expressionlessly.
She kept staring at Jacqueline, and she did it so calmly that Jacqueline was spooked by that gaze.
"What are you looking at me for? Stop pretending. Don't you want to kill me? You hate me to the bones."
"I was just thinking about the day I first met you. You were so bright and elegant," reminisced Olivia.
The first time she met Jacqueline, other than that familiar face, Jacqueline's self-confidence drew her in.
"How could such a lively person commit to such cruel deeds?"
Olivia's tranquility looked so out of the picture as Jacquline seemed so worn out from the suffering. Jacqueline had lived half of her life with pride. She'd feel better if Olivia opted for a direct confrontation for revenge. Yet, Olivia seemed surprisingly calm.
