Chapter 49: The apple does not fall far from the tree
Sebastien, who had remained silent all this time, was about to speak when a mocking smile appeared on Roxane’s round face. She said calmly:
“Uncle Rios, are you sure you want to sue my brother?Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Olivier Rios stood with his hands on his back. His eyes stained with the filth of the world were focused on Roxane as he said with disdain:
– He asked for it.
Roxane only smiled and said in a cheerful tone:
– 520 Felin Road.
Olivier’s eyes widened and his expression changed drastically as he looked at Roxane in shock and disbelief.
On the other hand, Agnes, Diego and Mina looked at Olivier in confusion.
– What does she mean?
Olivier’s expression was very abnormal at the moment. He gritted his teeth and did not speak.
Roxane smiled and said innocently:
“Oh, Auntie Rios, you don’t know? Uncle Rios’ heart ached for you when he saw how hard you work to take care of the Rios family. After all, it wasn’t easy for you to raise your children. Therefore, he specially…
Before she could finish her words, Olivier roared:
– Shut up!
The atmosphere became strange.
Joel and Sabrina, who had been worried about their son, suddenly had talkative expressions on their faces.
Enzo, who could already guess the meaning of Roxane’s words, sneered and said:
– I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Agnes finally came to her senses at that moment. She jumped on Olivier and slapped him, leaving thin bloody lines on his face, as she screamed:
– How dare you cheat on me with women outside? How dare you!
Diego and Mina were shocked by the sudden turn of events. They rushed to hold their mother who had completely lost control of her emotions.
Agnes cried as she continued to scream:
– Olivier Rios, are you human? How could you treat me like that?
Olivier felt humiliated after his wife slapped him in front of everyone. He roared furiously:
-Why are you going crazy? How can you believe a little girl’s lies?
Roxane feigned an aggrieved expression on her face as she said:
– I do not lie. Didn’t you buy that pretty woman a diamond necklace back then? It cost hundreds of thousands.
Roxane’s words successfully aroused Agnes’s anger again. If Diego and Mina didn’t hold her back, she would have torn Olivier’s face.
– Enough!
Diego shouted coldly while looking at Roxane with a dark and complicated expression.
She continued to add fuel to the fire. She looked at Diego and asked innocently:
– Hmm? You know that too, don’t you? I didn’t know you were hiding this matter from Auntie.
Agnes’ round body trembled violently. She turned around and looked at her son in disbelief as she said through her tears:
– You know it too, but you… you helped him hide it from me?
Diego frowned and immediately denied it.
-Mom, I didn’t…
Alas, Agnes had already lost all her reason. She didn’t seem to hear Diego at all as she repeatedly punched Diego’s chest with her fists. She said in tears:
– I treated you so well, but you helped him lie to me!
In order to prevent Agnes from humiliating him further, Olivier coldly mocked and looked at Roxane before walking away.
Diego knew they couldn’t stay any longer. He half carried and half dragged his mother, saying to Mina:
– Let’s go.
– Oh.
Mina nodded. Before leaving, she turned to look at Sebastien, who was standing next to Roxane, with a hint of shyness on his face.
Seeing this, Roxane frowned slightly. She had already felt that something was wrong since earlier. Mina, usually sarcastic, hasn’t said a single word today. As it appeared…
A feeling of discomfort suddenly rose in Roxane’s heart. She instinctively moved forward and stood in front of Sebastian, blocking him from Mina’s view. She didn’t want her to look at him.
