He nodded, a little distracted.
As we pulled up to the ground floor of his villa, I looked over at him. He looked sad, as if he had something on his mind.
It was a long time before he came to himself, then he looked at me and said, very seriously, âClara, do you still hate me?â
I was stunned, âWhat?â
âAbout Dianaâs family, about how I ... abused you.â His voice trailed off, and it was not like him at all.
I pressed my lips together and answered solemnly, âLeo, thatâs all in the past. Letâs not mention it.â
âSo, do you still hate me?â
Seeing him looking at me with a childlike look in his eyes, I couldnât help being stunned. âItâs all over. In the end, you only threatened me, and did me no real harm. But as for Diana, sheâll probably never be able to let it go.â
People were really complicated. I was afraid of Leo at first, but now I relied on him. I even regarded him as my family member in my heart. In a way, Yara and I were the same kind of people who put their own interests first.
He looked at me for a long time and said thoughtfully, âIf you find out later that Iâve done something to hurt you, will you forgive me?â
Seeing him so, I couldnât help but look at him with wide eyes, âWhat have you done to ask for my forgiveness?â
He pressed his lips together and said, âWill you forgive me?â
When he didnât answer my question directly, I could not help but curl my mouth and say, âThat depends on how wrong you are. Leo, you know me better than I know myself, and I canât possibly forgive you without boundaries or principles, can I? So, donât do anything to hurt me, either now or in the future. Weâll be brother and sister forever, okay?â
He looked at me for a long time and said nothing. He just reached out and pulled me close to him and said in a deep voice, âWell, letâs be brother and sister forever. It doesnât matter if you donât have your parents. You have me and Link. We are all your family.â
I nodded, just feeling that he made me feel a little unreal. He seemed to be hiding something very, very deep inside.
But I knew I couldnât get anything out of it, even if I wanted to.
With a slight sigh, I pulled away from him and said, âWell, itâs getting late. Letâs hurry back!â
...
After I dropped Leo off, I went straight back to the villa.
Itâs 10:00 p.m. I didnât think Olivia would still be at the villa.
She came and went as she pleased, not treating herself as a guest at all.
When I came back, she stopped me in the doorway and said darkly, âComing home in the middle of the night, youâre just as wild as ever. With Dennis out of the way, youâre a wild horse out of control.â
Olivia was the least challenging rival Iâve ever met. If it wasnât for Calvin, I didnât think sheâd even be here.
I looked at her briefly, not in the mood for an argument, and said, âMiss Pearson, why donât you pay for my room? I can consider freeing up a room for you, so you don't have to go back and forth all the time.â
âYou!â She pointed at me and was about to scold.
I didnât give her the chance, but simply said, âItâs getting late. Please go back!â
Then I headed for the kitchen!
She wouldnât give up. She followed me, tugging at me, and said, âClara, Iâm having a hard time, and youâll have a hard time, too. Donât you want to avenge the death of your bastard? Iâm telling you, that baby wouldnât have survived even if my mother hadnât intervened. Heâs not a normal kid at all.â
âBang!â I slapped Olivia mercilessly, squinted my eyes and told her coldly, âOlivia, thereâs a limit to what a person can tolerate. Donât you think youâre wicked to curse a dead child like that?â
I hit Olivia so hard that she took a long time to recover from the blow. Her anger was unconcealed, even more so. âClara, how dare you hit me?â
I swallowed my anger, ignored her, and headed straight for the kitchen. I thought I drank some iced juice when I had dinner, and my lower abdomen ached.
Being a woman was such a hassle. Every period was like a torture.
Nanny Daisy came out and when she saw Olivia, she frowned slightly and said, âMiss Pearsonï¼are you still here?â
Olivia ignored her and blocked me, covering the side of her face and said angrily, âClara, did you hit me because I hurt your heart? Did you really think Dennis was taking care of you when he gave you those pills during your pregnancy? Those are malformed drugs. How stupid you are to keep Please Love Me, Mr. George ï¤Chapter 246 Olivia was Looking for Trouble 5 taking those pills after the birth test showed the baby was deformed.â
I frowned slightly, narrowed my eyes, looked at her and said, âWhat do you mean?â
âWhat do I mean? Iâm just saying the bastard you were carrying deserved it. No one wants it. Itâs superfluous. If you donât believe me, go get the rest of the pills and investigate. Do you really think that Dennis is protecting you right now Because he cares about you? He was guilty. His conscience was smitten.â
When she saw that I was very pale, she laughed more freely than ever. âClara, you deserved it, and the boy deserved it, he deserved it in the first place, he should never have been born.â
Yes, I admit that she successfully activated a lot of the negative feelings that I had been repressing.
I raised my hand, but was stopped by her, she sneered, âWhat? Do you still want to hit me? Am I stupid enough to let you hit me a second time?â
I sneered and looked at her eerily and said calmly, âNo, Iâm not trying to hit you. A person like you doesnât deserve me to hit you, really.â
Then I moved closer and closer to her. My eyes fell on the knife not far away. I looked at her and sneered, âI used to think that having someone like you would make my life a little more difficult, but it turns out you're not just a problem. Youâre disgusting. In that case, you might as well go to hell!â
Without giving her a chance to contradict me, I snatched the knife and stabbed her without hesitation.
âClara!â It wasnât Olivia, who was terrified, and it wasnât Nanny Daisy, who was slumped on the floor. It was Dennis.
Almost immediately, I froze and the knife went into Oliviaâs abdomen.
Almost immediately, a warm rush of water touched my hand. There was a ticking sound on the ground. It was Oliviaâs blood.
She stared at me in disbelief, her eyes wide open and she could not utter a word.
Almost immediately, Dennis rushed in, pushed me out of the way and grabbed Olivia as she fell.
