chapter 42 Make you convinced
"Are you threatening me? I am your dad! Why… why would I harm your mom?" Tyrone evaded his gaze after he finished speaking as he felt guilty.
Olivia leaned against the wall lazily, slightly raising one leg, and a coldness glinted in her narrowed eyes.
She stopped talking and just looked at them frostily. It was as if she was looking at a bunch of criminals, which made Tyrone uncomfortable.
Emma shouted unhappily, "Olivia, my parents and I brought chicken soup for your mom early in the morning because we know she is under going a surgery and wanted to give her our well-wishes, so what do you mean by your words? What do you mean what we did to her? What can we do to her in a hospital with so many people?"
Mia pretended to be kind as always, pulling Tyrone and Emma back. "That's enough, Tyrone and Emma. You two are not kids anymore. Stop arguing with a youngster like Olivia."
"Olivia must have been shocked because Sofia got sick suddenly, and it so happened we visited Sofia just before that so we can't blame her for overthinking this. It's my fault. I shouldn't have worried so much. I was afraid that Sofia would become weak after the surgery, so I wanted to provide with her a nutritious meal before that, and also asking you guys to tag along with me to cheer for her."
"It's all my fault, Olivia. If you must blame anyone, blame it on me. You can say anything about me as long as your mom gets better!"
As Mia said that, she lowered her head and started wiping away tears as if she had really been wronged.
Olivia couldn't help but cheer for her, "It's the entertainment world's loss that you didn't get the title of best actress in The Academy Award."
After saying that, she stood straight, voicing frostily, "I'll give you one last chance. Are you guys going to confess or not?"
Tyrone sneered sarcastically. "Olivia, do you really think that because you have studied abroad, you are so great that you don't care about anyone else? We haven't done anything bad, so what is there to confess?"
Olivia nodded. "Very well. In that case, let me be recount your crimes to you!"
"You know that Zoey was coming to perform an operation on my mom today, so you were worried that after she recovered, she would go back to the company and take away everything you have now. Therefore, you seized the opportunity of my mom's pre-operative checkups and took turns to agitate her, right?"
"My mom's heart is in a poor condition and can't be upset. Otherwise, she will get horribly sick. This is why her surgery is so difficult to do. No one except Zoey dares to do it, because once something agitated her and makes her sick, it may lead to the failure of the operation. Meanwhile, you guys agitated her using all kinds of despicable methods. As a result, my mom was so angry that she immediately had an heart attack. "
Among the three members of the Xia Family, only Tyrone showed a hint of uneasiness and guilt, albeit fleetingly. As for Emma and Mia, they showed no signs of panic.
Olivia had to admire their mental strengths before she continued, "Emma, you must have used those indecent photos you posted on the Internet to tell my mom that I am a woman who fools around with men, right? What a pity. My mom didn't believe you, ignoring you completely."
"Tyrone, you took a few hospital abortion receipts that you got from somewhere and told my mom that they were evidence that I had a messed-up personal life, aborted babies for men while keeping my affairs secret, right? But do you know this? Those receipts are not mine. They were fabricated by Emma secretly while using my identity card."
"Olivia, you are talking nonsense!" Emma shouted as she turned red with frustration.
Tyrone scolded angrily, "You not only slandered me, you also slandered Emma. How did you turn out this way? Do you know how heartbroken your mother would be if she saw you like this? She still thinks you're the obedient child from back then!"
"You don't have to jump to defense immediately. I'll make sure I convince all of you!"
Olivia said, her face darkening. "Tyrone, you successfully agitated my mom. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood because of the receipts, but she suppressed it. However, my mom's distress told you guys that she cares about me the most, so you guys continue upsetting her by talking about my matters." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"Mia..." Olivia cast her gaze on Mia, who was still indifferent and smiled coldly. "Have you gone to tell my mom about what happened between you and Tyrone back then? While my mom was pregnant with me, Tyrone used his work as an excuse to not return home and go to your place, right? You told my mom about how tender and affectionate he was toward you and how he cared greatly about you…"
"But the real reason my mom got agitated was not because of these, but…" Olivia narrowed her eyes and approached Mia. "You told my mom that Tyrone hates her and me, so he drugged my food since I was young. Then, he got my mom to feed me those medicine that would cause me to be infertile and that because I aborted my babies, I've lost my ability to bear kids completely, right?"
"Olivia, I've treated you and your mom kindly since I arrived in the Xia residence, and I tried my best to please you while also ensuring everything in the house runs smoothly. In the past few years, I had worked hard for the Xia Family without any credit. You may not thank me, and you may even hate or blame me, but you cannot slander me in this way."
Mia raised her chin as if she had been greatly wronged. "I understand that you and your mom despise me, but I have never done anything to hurt you, right? How could you, how could you say that about me?"
With that said, Mia turned around, threw herself into Tyrone's arms, and started crying.
Tyrone was distressed by Mia's reaction. He raised his hand and growled at Olivia, "Olivia, you, you rebellious girl, why would I do that to you? How could you say that? Don't just spew nonsense because you want to slander us!"
"What my mother hates is not what you guys did to her, but that you guys used her to harm me in order to go against her. That was why she got so angry that she puked blood and nearly died!"
Olivia's voice was low yet determined. Every single word she spoke was an accusation to the three family members of the Xia Family.
For a moment, the entire ward was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
"Did you guys know that every single word you utter is slowly killing her?" Olivia asked coldly.
There was a momentary silence before Emma shouted with defiance, "It's your words against us, Olivia. You can doubt us, but you can't impose these charges on us. We haven't done anything, so why should we listen to your assumptions and suspicions?"
"You can keep these words for the police." Olivia snorted coldly.
Mia took a deep breath and said aggrievedly, "There's no point in denying our crime to someone that doesn't believe us. My biggest mistake was showing up at the hospital. I would say the same even if the police came."
"Then, please come with me to the police station."
As soon as Mia finished speaking, a joyful voice rang from behind her. Then, two young men in police attire strode over.
