Chapter 113 The Relationship Between Mr. Riley and Adeline was About to Expose!
Mrs. Powell's face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. "Oh, if I hadn't seen you bringing prosperity to the Powell Family, I wouldn't have the face to meet your grandfather down below."
With that, the old lady pulled the silent, head-down woman to sit on the sofa.
Olivia followed suit with a sarcastic smile. "Well, you can happily close your eyes now. Because by Max's side, there's someone who cares about him, and that's me!"
Saying that, Olivia was about to reach out and hold Max's hand.
A cold gaze shot from Max's eyes, causing Olivia to stop abruptly.
Olivia knew that when Max wasn't pleased, you couldn't go against him, or it would backfire.
Seeing this, Mrs. Powell smiled and said, "Olivia, don't try to please me. You're young, and you have plenty of time to enjoy yourself. You're not suitable for marriage."
What a joke!
She had always wanted to seize Max's power, so naturally, she couldn't let him marry the daughter of the Riley family.
If they joined forces, would her son still have a say?
Hearing Mrs. Powell's words, Olivia pouted. "Who said being young means not suitable for marriage? As long as Max agrees, I'll marry him immediately!"
Mrs. Powell smiled and looked at the woman beside her, who had no presence at all, and she held her hand to comfort her.
"Don't pay too much attention to this girl's words. She has been infatuated for years, but she hasn't made any progress. My grandson has been rejecting her all this time!"
The woman forced a smile. She didn't respond and didn't dare to lift her head to speak to Max.
Max's gaze fell coldly on her dark head. "Who are you, the daughter of which family?"
The woman lifted her head and her lips slightly parted, but before she could say a word, she heard Max say, "Are you courting death?"
The woman trembled in fear.
"Have you not heard that most women who were supposed to marry me met an unfortunate end?"
"Have you not heard that I am ruthless and have killed several women in bed?"
With a thud, the woman knelt down.
