Edward was out of the loop. He held his tongue out of fear of mispeaking.
"If you didn't know, why are you here to take care of her? Didn't Alexander ask you to do this?" Brittany questioned as she pointed her finger at Olivia.
"He arranged this, but..."
Just as Edward was explaining, Olivia interrupted him. "Did you hear that? Alexander was the one who sent him to take care of me, letting me live in this house. No matter how jealous you are or how much you want to break us up. You won't have the chance!"
Olivia shook her index finger at Brittany. Then she rotated her wrist, giving Brittany a thumbs down. That irritated Brittany. She was about to jump on Olivia when Edward stopped her.
"Miss Oakley, calm down!" He was not very good at comforting people, so that was all he could say. Brittany seemed to have found the wrong person, but for some reason, Olivia opted to mislead and enrage her instead of telling the truth.
"Okay, I won't do it!" After being stopped by Edward, Brittany calmed down and looked at him, "However, as you can see, I didn't touch her while she hit me. Don't twist the truth when you tell Alexander about this."
Edward was silent.
"Humph! Wait and see!" After Brittany threatened Olivia, she fixed her messy hair, picked up the bag that had fallen on the floor, and walked out of the house.
Edward turned to look at Olivia and at Brittany, who rushed out. After hesitating, he eventually stayed and did not chase after Brittany.
"Why didn’t you go after her?" Olivia bent over to pick up everything scattered on the ground.
Two broken cups were among the other items that had been knocked over and scattered around. It was not worth it. Olivia needed to figure out a means to pay for it regardless.
