Chapter 172 In Her Imagination, Her Crush Would Kick Open the Door...
"What are we here for? Of course, we're here to visit the patient!" Edith raised the fancy fruit basket in her hand and walked in without even knocking on the door.
Olivia, who was resting, sat up upon hearing the commotion.
In an instant, Edith's face showed a pained expression. "Oh my dear, Olivia, let me have a look. How did my poor little girl get hurt like this? I feel so sorry for you."
Adeline stood by, sneering.
From childhood to adulthood, she had never heard Edith show such concern for her.
But now she suddenly cared about someone else's daughter.
Well, forgot about it. The last time they met, she had already severed the mother-daughter relationship with Edith.
She couldn't be bothered with it now.
Olivia frowned and looked at Edith and Viola. "How did you know I was injured?"
"It was on the internet!" Edith blurted out without thinking.
Viola chimed in, "Didn't you know? The gossip spread like wildfire. And at first, there were reports from a public account, saying that you were abused by the young master of the Burke Family, saying that he was into kinky stuff like playing with whips in bed... Reporters even captured you leaving the hotel room together!"
As soon as their voices fell, Victoria burst in, glaring fiercely at Edith and her daughter.
"Why are you telling her all this?"
Olivia's face turned pale, and she quickly trembled, taking out her phone to check the news mentioned by Edith and her daughter.
Adeline grabbed her hand. "No need to look. Your Uncle Curtis and Max arranged for people to delete it as soon as possible."
"Max?" Olivia looked up at Adeline.
Adeline nodded. "He should have helped. That's what I heard."
Olivia stood frozen in place.
