Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1942: Summer Hall Side Story (144)
This won’t just anger Harry Hall but also the Smith couple and Edward Smith.
She hadn’t seen Harry Hall’s methods, but she could guess that he wouldn’t let Thomas Smith get away with it.
Especially since Edward is the kind of big brother who never leaves any bones uneaten.
Thomas is the only good card she can still play, and she can’t afford to waste it over today’s inevitable affair.
Therefore, she finally gritted her teeth and truthfully confessed to Thomas what she did today.
Thomas paused, suddenly understanding what exactly Olivia did to anger their parents.
He was born into a high-status family, and the etiquette education he received from childhood wasn’t completely lost on him.
To call someone’s gift fake right in front of them, well, really... anyone with a hint of manners would never say such a thing.
His expression was hard to describe, and his face turned bright red with shame and anger.
He wanted to scold Olivia a bit, but seeing her tear-stained eyes, he hesitated.
He looked incredulously at Olivia for a long time, but in the end, he said nothing.
His gaze shifted to Helen Melendy, who had a mocking smile that she didn’t even try to hide, and Thomas’s face turned even redder.
After a long time, his expression mellowed, and he reluctantly managed to say, "Even so, they shouldn’t have just expelled Olivia over a single mistake."
He downplayed the whole incident, as if Olivia had just made a harmless remark.
In fact, Olivia’s mistake could be as minor or major as you saw it.
In Thomas’s eyes, Olivia merely misspoke and did something incredibly rude.
But to Charles Smith and his wife, her actions had far-reaching implications.
If she could be this jealous over a mere gift now, who knows what she might do in the future against Helen if allowed to stay in the Smith Family?
Previously, her role as their daughter clouded their judgment of Olivia’s true nature.
But after losing that filter, they saw Olivia’s nature clearly.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Evelyn Taylor was determined not to let Olivia stay today.
She looked at Thomas, showing not the slightest bit of apology for wronging Helen, but rather, she seemed indignant over Olivia’s expulsion, which disappointed her further in this son.
There’s a saying, "You can’t wake someone who’s pretending to sleep," and Evelyn had no desire to reason with someone as thoughtless as Thomas.
She glanced at Olivia and then at Thomas’s indignant face, saying:
"The one who wants Olivia gone is me; don’t blame it on anyone else."
"Mom..."
"Shut up!"
Evelyn interrupted him impatiently, continuing:
"Our family has no obligation to support an outsider. If you think we’re being heartless, feel free to leave with Olivia. From now on, your lives and deaths have nothing to do with the Smith Family."
Evelyn’s words made Olivia’s face change dramatically.
Seeing that Thomas was about to agree in a moment of hot-headedness, Olivia quickly intervened to stop him.
"Second brother, please don’t anger Madam Smith. This is my fault, and I truly have no face to stay. Don’t make it harder for me, okay?"
She looked at Thomas with pleading eyes, hoping he could understand her gaze.
Perhaps Thomas had a special patience for Olivia, which allowed him to actually read her eyes.
