After Flash Marriage, I Found That My Husband Is A Billionaire

chapter 31 Unaffordable

Tyrone hurried over, witnessing Emma grabbing Olivia's hair harshly.

Even though it seemed like Mia was trying to break up the fight, she was actually seizing the opportunity to hit Olivia.

Tyrone exploded with anger. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

He was discussing business with some big shots and was about to conclude the deal when, unexpectedly, the Lu family came and told him that his wife and daughter were causing a scene and needed him to put an end to it.

Tyrone rushed over and nearly fainted in anger when he saw the scene.

"Stop!" Tyrone pulled Mia and Emma away and asked with a darkened expression. "Olivia, it's Emma's engagement party today. What trouble did you cause again?"

Olivia mused, "He confronted me as soon as he showed up, not bothering to find out the root cause of what happened. Oh, he sure is doing a good job as a Dad!"

Olivia lowered her head and sneered. When she raised her head again, tears were rolling down her face. "Dad, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Dad, Emma, please don't hit me!"

Tyrone thought, "What's with the drastic change of personality? Since when did she know how to give in and apologize? Isn't she stubborn and doesn't care what others thought of her?"

Olivia's sudden submissive behavior stunned Tyrone, and he wasn't able to react in time.

"No matter how much you and Mia think it will benefit me if I marry Young Master Si, I will never dare to marry him. I will never snatch away the things that Emma likes. I'm serious. You guys have to believe me. I will never ever marry him!"

The onlookers were distressed by Olivia's words, and they found the Xia family's attitude toward her even more suffocating.

Tim, who had been observing the scene for a while, finally couldn't keep his composure anymore.

His expression darkened as he clenched his jaws, glaring at Olivia as if he finally understood what she was trying to achieve from this chaos.

He mused, "She did this deliberately! She knew what would happen today since the start, and she was most probably the one behind the surveillance footage from earlier. Olivia's motive was not only to take revenge on Emma and the rest but more importantly, she wanted to reject me publicly. That's right! She cooperated with the Xia Family's schemes and put on this good show to wriggle out of her marriage to me! What am I? A wild beast that will consume her? The more she is unwilling to marry me, the more interested I am in her!"

"You're still spewing nonsense, Olivia. What do you want? Do you want to ruin my engagement party with Steven completely?!" Emma's eyes widened her eyes, wiping her tears as she growled.

"Are you satisfied now? Did you achieve your goal by causing this mess at our engagement party?"

"Steven, you have to believe me. There is no one else in my heart other than you!" Emma noticed Steven's upset face. She quickly wrapped her arms around his and begged, "I regard Young Master Si as my future brother-in-law. He is out of my league!"

"Out of your league? That's why you have to force your way up!" Olivia wiped her tears and sniffed. "Isn't that your favorite thing to do?"

Afraid that Olivia would reveal something she shouldn't have said, Emma hurriedly shouted, "Aren't you talking about yourself? Olivia Xia, the person in charge of the monitoring room is here. I shall see how you will defend yourself then!"

However, when the person in charge of the monitoring room came out, he had nothing helpful to add. Although he was sitting in the monitoring room, the banquet hall was so big that he couldn't pay attention to every corner.

And what was played on the big screen was what he exported from the surveillance camera directly, and he had no idea why it turned out this way.

In the end, it seemed like the appearance of the person in charge made things worse. His words confirmed that no one had tampered with the surveillance footage, which in turn confirmed Emma was the true culprit.

Emma was so frustrated that her cheeks flushed red, and she almost vomited blood.

It was then Meryl arrived.

He smiled lazily as he observed the scene with an amused expression.

"Wow, it's bustling in here. Was I late, and the engagement party has started?" At first, he didn't know the true identity of Olivia. After Steven came to cause trouble last time, he specifically investigated Steven's background and unraveled the story behind the Xia Family and Olivia.

Even though the Lu family invited him to the engagement party today, if it weren't for Olivia Xia, he wouldn't have shown up at all.

Meryl was dumbfounded when he arrived at the location to witness the scene before him, especially when he saw Olivia being surrounded and looking like she was being bullied; Meryl almost wanted to rush forward and beat those bastards into pulps.

But seeing the reassuring gaze Olivia directed at him, Meryl suppressed his anger and walked forward slowly.

"President... President Meryl, I'm sorry you have to witness that." Judd, who had been standing aside embarrassedly, couldn't help but feel like he wanted to burrow himself into a hole when he heard Meryl's words.

After all, many people in Jianglin City wanted to form a relationship with Meryl to no avail.

Not to mention that Meryl rarely made appearances at huge events, let alone a small engagement party like the one happening now.

Who would have expected Meryl to stumble into such a humiliating situation when he decided to show up?

At that moment, Judd hated Emma wholeheartedly.

"What's going on?" Meryl smiled. "Isn't this an engagement party? Why did it turn into a conference of criticism and self-reflection?"

Judd wiped his sweat while laughing along. "It's all a huge misunderstanding. This is just a joke between the Xia Family sisters. Steven, why don't you take Emma and her family into the house for a rest? Is our family not embarrassed enough?" He suppressed his urge to curse for a long time because he wanted to see to what extent would the Xia Family go.

Steven was also aware that with so many people present today, they must think of the overall situation first and shall not act rashly.

Suppressing the resentment in his heart, Steven supported the crying Emma and said to Tyrone and Mia, "Uncle Tyrone, Aunt Mia, let's talk things out inside. We are a family, and it isn't nice to be regarded as a joke by the public when they saw the chaos we made."

Tyrone nodded. "I failed as a father and humiliated the Lu family today. My in-laws, I'm sorry. Don't worry; I will definitely handle this matter appropriately and provide a decent explanation to you and

everyone else."

After saying that, he grumbled at Olivia on the side. "Olivia, get up quickly!"

Olivia stood up and said timidly, "I was wrong, Dad. I won't dare to do it again."

"You!" Tyrone was furious, but he didn't dare to unleash his wrath, so he could only wave his hands and leave with his family.

Tyrone had been so thoroughly humiliated that he didn't dare to stay at the engagement party.

"Slap!" As soon as he walked into the lounge, Tyrone raised his hand and slapped Mia in the face. "Look at what you've done. Didn't you arrange everything nicely? Huh? You have embarrassed the Xia Family."

Mia was beaten several times a day. She fell to the ground and almost couldn't get up, wailing, "Tyrone, I was wronged. I just wanted Olivia to marry a good man. My poor Emma. She is so obedient and has just found her true love. But in the end, her engagement was ruined..."

Emma squatted on the ground, hugging Mia as she cried, "No, Mom. It's all my fault. It's my fault. I deserve this. I shouldn't have fallen in love with Steven, causing Olivia to be single and alone."

The mother-daughter's words successfully diverted Tyrone's attention to Olivia.

"Olivia, you are such a disgrace. You won't listen to us when we asked you to marry Young Master Si, and now you are even scheming against Emma? Will you only be satisfied after you ruin the Xia Family?" Tyrone raised his hand, wanting to hit Olivia, but she grabbed his arm.

"Keep an eye on your wife and daughter. You don't have the right to tell me what to do!"

"I am your father!" Tyrone fumed.

Olivia smiled mockingly. "Oh, so you're aware that you're my father? If one doesn't know any better, one would have thought that I was your enemy."
