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."

Victoria's heart tightened, and she almost couldn't breathe. Tears streamed down her face.

She covered her mouth and sobbed, as her mind filled with the image of Olivia's blood-soaked body.

"Rebecca told me it was just sleeping pills... There was nothing... I... I didn't know it would turn out like this... I really didn't know..."

Victoria cried uncontrollably. In her agitation, she reached out and grabbed Reuben by the neck, "Why? Why would you do this to my daughter?!"

"Because I hate all of you! I hate you all, you vixens! If it weren't for each of you trying to manipulate your daughters into my life for the sake of wealth and status, my family wouldn't have pressured me to break up with my girlfriend! It's all your fault!" Reuben yelled hysterically.

Victoria was stunned. She never expected that Reuben, who appeared refined and had an excellent reputation in their social circle, could turn out to be mentally disturbed.

Adeline couldn't stand it any longer. She picked up the whip from the floor and lashed Reuben directly, "Have you ever considered that she didn't do this willingly?"

"Hiss!" Reuben gasped, and his eyes filled with resentment as he glared at Adeline. "I don't care! She's a slut by lying here on this bed!"

Adeline raised the whip once more and struck Reuben forcefully, "You can't blame others for your own relationship problems! If you have the guts, stand up to your family instead of directing your anger at an innocent woman." Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Getting increasingly emotional, Adeline lashed him once more.

"Ah! How dare you strike me?! Are you out of your mind? Do you know who I am? How dare you hit me?!" Reuben, with a broken knee, remained immobilized in the same position, and vulnerable to the whip.

Just as the words left his mouth, Curtis arrived at the door and knocked on the door, "Can I come in?"

Glancing at Olivia, Adeline responded after Olivia nodded, "Alright, come in."

As soon as Curtis wheeled himself inside, Adeline rushed to his side and pointed to Reuben on the floor as she complained.

"Hubby, he said he wants to kill me... I'm scared..."
