Olivia let out a short laugh, “Then, she pulled up you, a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
“I just soaked myself in seawater, ruffled my hair. Without me even saying a word, you rushed right over. I wonder if she regrets saving you.”
Noel couldn’t accept the truth. He kept backing away, repeating, “Impossible, impossible…”
“Is it impossible, or do you not dare to believe it?” Olivia laughed, looking at him with mocking eyes. “You’re truly Madeline’s son, just as skilled at self–deception ast she is.”
The fruit basket that Olivia had previously thrown during her argument with Thomas tripped Noel, who was retreating. With a loud crash, he fell awkwardly to the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Olivia relished his torment, chuckling lightly. “It’s too late for regrets. Do you think that if you apologize and confess to Natasha now, she’ll still forgive you? No, she won’t. She has completely given up on you as her brother.
“Natasha and I are at odds. Understandably, she hates me. But Noel, what you’ve lost is the only person among all your siblings who truly cared about you.”
Her sentences, like a vicious curse, made Noel’s heart tremble with numbness.
In just a few minutes, his understanding of the world was completely turned. upside down.
Noel, looking dazed, stumbled out of the ward.
Olivia watched his disappearing back, her eyes filled with deep gloom.
Her mother’s scheme failed, but Madeline and Andrew wouldn’t gain anything
either.
They deserve utter chaos and their children turning against each other.
She sat quietly for a long time, her emotions fluctuating. Finally, she picked up her phone and opened the WhatsApp chat page that had never received a reply.

[Lucas, I’m badly hurt. Can you come see me?]

[Lucas, my family wants to cut ties with me. I’m so scared, and I miss you so much.]
[My mother did something wrong for my sake, yet I can’t bring myself to condemn her. Perhaps I am the one who truly deserves to atone with death. If only I had known the truth sooner. I deserve to die.]
[Lucas, tell me. If Roderick hadn’t died back then, and I had married him and successfully left the Clark family, would none of this have happened?]
Confession after confession, without a single response.
Olivia bit her lower lip.
She posted another picture. The main subject was the ward, but it inadvertently showed her wound
Still, there was no response from him.
Her chest heaved for a few seconds before she suddenly hurled her phone.
Her phone shattered into pieces against the wall. She stared fixedly at it, the darkness in her pupils slowly spreading to every corner.
“You want to get rid of me? No way!‘ thought Olivia.
In the dimly lit room with tightly closed curtains, the door suddenly opened.
Margot smelled the overpowering stench of alcohol inside, glanced at the empty wine bottles scattered haphazardly on the floor, then frowned and walked to the window to open the curtains.
“How much longer do you intend to wallow in this self–pity?” said Margot.
She looked coldly at Lucas, her son, who sat on the floor, unshaven and leaning against the bed.
The sudden stimulation of light made Lucas, who had been trapped in darkness for too long, feel slightly uncomfortable.

He squinted and raised a hand to block the strong sunlight.

The phone screen next to him flashed a few times and then went dark, but he ignored it all, continuing to drink from the bottle.
Margot, restraining her anger, snatched the wine bottle from Lucas’s hand and smashed it to the ground.
“Since you came back from the Clark family, you’ve been like this, half–dead. Do you think anyone sees or cares about your heavy drinking? Your enemies will only. rejoice!”
Lucas smiled carelessly and picked up another half–empty bottle. “Mom? No, soon to be Wyatt’s mother, Mrs. Wright, is there something you need?”
Margot looked at him, heartbroken. “Can such a small setback defeat you? Your life isn’t even one–third over, and there are still many opportunities ahead. A temporary retreat doesn’t mean a permanent surrender.”
Margot thought, ‘For long–term interests, what was a moment of bowing down and humiliation?
“Why doesn’t he understand that even if the Wright family’s company is given to Wyatt, there are still many hidden resources? As long as he wants them, his father and I will definitely provide them.
And, as time passes, Alexei will no longer watch so closely, and Lucas himself will grow stronger. Then, reclaiming what’s his won’t be impossible.”
Lucas continued to drink, unfazed.
What did it matter if he won or lost? Nothing could turn back time.
He had lost his most precious treasure.
Margot again snatched the bottle from him and threw it away, then slapped him hard.
“Even without Olivia and her mother, you truly don’t deserve Natasha.”
Lucas’s eyes flickered.

Margot continued to provoke him, “At least when Natasha’s leg was injured and she left the stage back then, she didn’t become dispirited or let herself she got back on her feet on a new path. Even with the Clark family suppressing her so much, she could still earn a living on her own and continue to fight fort independence. What about you? What else can you do besides drinking? While you were wallowing in self–pity, she had moved ninety–nine steps forward.
“You will forever be left watching her back, watching her marry someone else, have children, and live a loving life without a doubt. Even if they divorce someday, you still won’t have a chance!”
Lucas sensitively picked up on a hint, “Mom, have you heard some news?”
Margot looked at him coldly, saying, “Chloe, the eldest daughter of the Westwood family, intends to marry Alexei. Regardless of whether she succeeds or not, for someone like Alexei, there will be no shortage of women throwing themselves at him. Do you think they can forever withstand the temptations when facing so many? And Natasha, after experiencing so much in the Clark family, do you she can like that kind of scheming environment?”
think
The Westwood family was much better off than the declining Clark family
Natasha couldn’t tolerate any wavering. Having learned from past lessons, if Alexei showed even a slight hesitation, their relationship would immediately fall apart.
Margot didn’t understand their dynamic. But young people were often swept off their feet by hormones, making them dizzy and confused. However, as reality hit them, all feelings fade, and only tangible benefits truly matter.
People from two different worlds should not be together.
She had seen Chloe before.
Like her aunt Teri, Chloe was opinionated and proud, not someone who gave up easily.
Deep down, she didn’t want Lucas to continue to be entangled with Natasha. But now, only Natasha could provoke a reaction from him.
Waiting for an uncertain outcome was better than just languishing like this.
