Chapter 169 Hubby, He Wanted to Kill Me
"Well, mom, I never knew your acting skills were this good before this," Olivia said calmly as she lifted the corners of her mouth. Her eyes showed no emotion, not even tears.
Perhaps when one reached the point of utter despair, one couldn't even cry anymore.
Adeline, feeling a bit sorry for Olivia, wanted to pat Olivia's shoulder to comfort her, but worried about touching her injuries. "Olivia, if you want to cry, just let it out. Let's not talk about anything else. Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
Olivia forced a bitter smile, "Mom, do you see it? At a time like this, Adeline is thinking about whether I'm sad or in pain, and if I need to go to the hospital. What you're thinking about is how to frame her!"
"I..." Victoria was left speechless.
Olivia struggled to stand up and removed the last piece of covering in front of her, revealing her bloody, tortured wounds.
"Mom, take a good look. I hope you'll remember every single one of these. These are your gifts to me!"
Victoria was so shaken she almost couldn't stand.
She turned her face away and couldn't bear to look at it, "No... no, it wasn't me. It really wasn't me!"
Olivia walked over to the closet, opened it, and found a white bathrobe to put on. She then turned her head weakly to look at Victoria.
"Do you need to hear the recording of how you and Rebecca planned to make me sleep with Reuben? Do you still want to call the police and arrest Adeline? Or would you prefer to have yourself arrested?"
Victoria's heart skipped a beat, and her blood ran cold. She shook her head as she couldn't believe what she had heard.
"No, Olivia, listen to me. It's not like what you think..."
Olivia's lips curved coldly, "Alright mom, I'm listening. Go on."
