Chapter 5
"Stupid girl" Master Langston said.
He was not sure if he should be angry or happy.
"Didn't you find me annoying just yesterday?"
"No, not anymore” she replied.
"I promise!" That made her father laugh.
"Let's see how long that would last.And just like that, the little farce was over.The three Petersons complained for half a day, but they were not as important as Olivia's tears.
Master Langston had no intention of throwing his family out.
Olivia already knew this, that small fight was just her stirring the pot.
She wanted to make the Petersons angry, so angry that they could not wait to kill her, so angry that their true colors would be exposed! She wanted to see if she could peel their hypocritical skin! That night, when she was about to go to bed, Oscar ran to her room with a toy in his hands.
"Sister, I don't like that family at all!" he whispered to her.
In the past, when he said this, Olivia would always comfort his younger brother.
"They're our relatives’’ she would simply say.
But this time, she patted her brother's head and said gently, "Don't worry, big sister will definitely drive them out"
She had never forgotten what they did; she would collect and settle all their debts, one by one.
The next morning, Master Langston went to the company early.
Oscar was also driven to school by their chauffeur.
Her younger brother was only eight years old, but his talent was way beyond his years.
With his ability, he could have already skipped elementary school.
However, in order for him to truly develop and grow, his father did not jump into it too recklessly.
As for Olivia...
She was the same age as Maggie Peterson.
She went to the academy that her father had arranged for her, and she was in the same grade and class as her cousin.
When the driver saw her walk down, he immediately bowed and opened the car door.
Maggie was already inside; she smiled when she saw her.
So what if Olivia wanted to chase them away? In the end, Uncle Langston would not agree to it, so Maggie had no fear whatsoever.
However, Olivia's gaze was as calm as ever.
She did not even appear to be angry.
It was as if she had not seen her cousin at all, just completely ignoring her existence.
The car drove off.
Along the way, Olivia casually flipped through her book without the slightest intention of paying Maggie attention.
Her cousin had no choice but to take the initiative.
"Sister, you..." Olivia raised her hand.
"Just stop pretending,’ she told her.
"Do you really think other people are fools and can't see through you?"
"Sister, what do you mean?"
"Maggie, I look forward to what you're going to do." Olivia smiled coldly.
"Don't disappoint me’’ The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
Maggie continued to act but eventually realized that her cousin was serious.
She could not help but panic.
She felt like Olivia had changed completely overnight, and was no longer as easy to handle as before. In the future, it would not be easy to use and fool her...
But at the same time, she felt relieved.
She had been acting for an entire year in such a disgusting show of sisterly affection; she had had enough! If she really wanted to tear her cousin's face apart, she would definitely not lose.
Half an hour later, Olivia stepped into her class.
As soon as she entered, someone stepped toward her with a big poster; it had the picture of her openly confessing to Leonard printed on it.
It had been deliberately enlarged, and had obviously become a joke in the entire school.
"Olivia, how do you feel? Look at you, you're like a dog waiting for your owner's approval.I'm embarrassed for you!"
"That's right.Leonard has rejected her countless times, but she's still hanging on to that engagement…”
"Hey, don't say anything.Leonard will be coming soon.I want to see how Miss Olivia reacts to that."
Leonard and Olivia were the same age, and were also in the same class.
She ignored them and immediately found her seat.
She casually flipped through the book again, pleased with herself.
All the students on the side felt that that was quite strange.
In the past, when Olivia heard them talk shit about her, she would either stomp her feet in anger, or cry out in frustration.
But she had never been as calm as she was today.
Then, a kid walked forward and snatched the book from Olivia's hand, then threw it into the trash can.
"Hey, Olivia, you're crying,’’ he taunted.
"As long as you cry, I'll let you go!"
She stood up calmly and walked over to the boy.
"Pick it up.”
"I threw it and you want me to pick it up?" he questioned sarcastically.
"That's funny"
As she looked at his arrogant face, she could not help but think how badly she wanted to beat him up.
She smiled, and just when everyone thought that she was going to compromise, her hand came flying out of nowhere and punched the boy's nose! A painful cry rang out.
Olivia did not even blink, and she kicked his knees.
Then, she grabbed his hair and pressed his face on the table! Everyone gasped.
"Well, cry,'' she said.
"As long as you cry, I will let you off.
The teenager's nosebleed surged, and he was in so much pain he started crying.
"Ow, ow, it hurts! Stop it please!"
When she thought it was enough, Olivia loosened her grip.
The book that was thrown into the trash can was also returned to her desk unharmed.
She returned to her seat, as calm as she was when she left it. The whispers never stopped.
Many said she just got excited.
After a long time, the noise suddenly faded off.
Olivia lifted her head and saw someone walk in.It...It was Leonard Tubman, the boy who she once loved dearly.
He was dressed in clean and refreshing casual clothes.His figure was slender and tall, and his demeanor was eye catching.He looked like a person who had walked out of a comic book.He was an extremely handsome and sunny person.
The person who once provided light to her world.
And the one who deprived her of it, too.It was a lie to say she did not hate him.
She hated the fact that Leonard had begged and coaxed her into imprisonment just to save his true love.
And even after five years in jail, he still could not accept the three words that she always told him.
‘Did I deserve that?’ The pain felt like her heart was being branded with iron: scorching and eternal.
But what she hated more than him was herself.
It was her who had lost her mind, it was her who got left in the dust because of her own naivety.
Who else could she blame? Olivia clenched her hands, then relaxed them. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
She also looked away from him.
The other people could not detect the changes in her moods, but Leonard could naturally sense them.
She had not contacted him ever since she cursed him on the phone yesterday.
That made him breathe a sigh of relief, but it also felt strange.
‘‘Since when did Olivia become smart?’’ She was no longer pestering him, and it seemed like she was not beating around the bush anymore.
And just now, before she turned away, he caught a glimpse of that bone-chilling hatred dancing in her eyes.
