Usually, the Warhol family kept a low profile and avoided messing with other people. They did not like to show off as well.
Therefore, they managed to turn things around during several corporate crises.
Mabel was usually a kind and calm person in her social circle, so she was slightly shocked to see Kate acting so recklessly.
âAshlyn, letâs go.â Fae gently tugged on Ashlynâs arm.
Ashlyn caught on and stopped arguing with Kate. She felt there was no point arguing with a shrewish woman like her.
âThis is too much! How dare you just leave like that?â Kate stared at their backs with hatred and said to Mabel, âDonât worry. No matter what, Lochlan only has Olivia in his heart, and he will never look at another woman.â
Mabel flashed an awkward smile. âThatâs great.â
Back at home, Mabel was in a bad mood. She brought Olivia over to let her sit on the couch and said, âOlivia, you witnessed the scene with your eyes today. Mrs. Fraser is a tough nut. If you get married to Lochlan, your father and I wonât be around to take care of you.â
âMom, youâre overthinking things. Besides, as long as Lochlan goes along with Olivia, everything will be fine,â Will commented.
He did not think so much as he knew there was rarely any harmonious family in their social circle.
Many couples appeared to be in a great relationship, but they each had their lovers in private.
Mabel glared at him. âGo away. You know nothing!â
Then, she patiently persuaded Olivia while holding her hand. âThough our family is considered wealthy, it is the wealth accumulated by our ancestors. Your father has been cautious over these years because we donât have a strong background. Weâre incomparable to the Jaquin family, the Nolan Family, the Quickton family, and the Haddock family. Sooner or later, something will happen due to the way Mrs.
Fraser handles matters. Youâd better forget about marrying Lochlanâ¦â Mabel sighed.
âMom, I like him! I really like him.â Olivia was frustrated too.
The Fraser family wanted to be in-laws with the Warhol family, but Kateâs temper was too odd, and not everyone could handle someone like her.
Besides, the major problem was that Lochlan did not like her, which frustrated Olivia.
Now my mom wants me to break up with him tooâ¦
She felt sad and anguished at the same time.
Previously, Olivia was an arrogant and prideful young lady who loved to spend money on shopping.
She wanted people to treat her exceptionally because her family was wealthy.
Now that she had known that Ashlyn did not avenge her by giving her a low score and the autistic Charlotte could express herself well, Olivia suddenly understood that she shouldnât live like this anymore. At least, she should be more open-minded.
Mabel glared at him. âGo away. You know nothing!â
If I continue to be narrow-minded, will I end up as a shallow person like Mrs. Fraser?
She took a deep breath to calm her nerves.
âAfter we got married, we can move elsewhere and not stay with his parents. I heard currently heâs living alone in a mansion.â Olivia hesitated for a moment and realized she did not want to give up Lochlan just yet.
âOlivia, youâre a girl. You need to think it through. I saw Lochlan kept staring at the ugly girl, Charlotte, today. Isnât it because he has not given up on her yet?â
âMom, I donât knowâ¦â
âForget about it. If he still refuses to forget about Charlotte, donât blame me for what I will do to that woman!â said Mabel impatiently.
âMom, donât be like this. Charlotte had already left the Fraser residence. She did not do anything wrong, and itâs because sheâs an orphanâ¦â Olivia did not know what had happened to her, and she could not believe that she was defending Charlotte.
She was jealous of Charlotte and envious of Ashlyn.
Her mind was in a mess.
After all, no single woman in the world did not want to become Ashlyn.
The next day, Joseph flew to Maredania with Charlotte to continue the treatment for the injuries on her face.
Meanwhile, Ashlyn went to the hospital right after the hospital informed her that Naomi was awake.
