Chapter 2520
Even if Mara hadn't always been the kindest friend, Olivia genuinely cared for her. The news had hit
her like a ton of bricks; she spent three nights tossing and turning, haunted by Mara's sleep-talking
confessions.
Could it have been just a nightmare that made Mara spout such nonsense?
Why would Mara hurt her sister?
The question loomed over Olivia like a dark cloud, a shadow she couldn't shake.
Now, finally face to face with Mara, she found the courage to confront her.
âYou donât understand a thing, do you? You have no idea about the pain I've endured all these
years. I've told you, knowing too much is bad for you. If you want to stay by my side, stop asking
questions. And you should know, my hands are already stained with blood. I wouldn't mind adding
yours to the list,â Mara threatened, but Olivia was unfazed.
"Oh, really? Do you honestly think I can't scream right now? That would bring Balfour running, and
he'd see you for the cruel monster you really are.â
Mara didnât dare take that risk. Everyone knew Balfour was her Achillesâ heel. She couldn't bear the
thought of him discovering the truth. For years, she had worked tirelessly to keep
this secret from him.
Regret gnawed at her. How she wished she had stayed by Balfour's side. If only she had, things
could've been different.
Mara knew too well that Balfour had harbored a soft spot for her sister Victoria
But the world had no place for âifs,â and there were no second chances.
To win over the man she desired, she had to eliminate her rival, to forge a bond that wo obligate
Balfour to her!
âYou know, I donât understand why you'd strike down your own sister with such venom. Didn't you
think for a second that she would die with her eyes wide open, full of rage and sorrow?â Olivia's
voice was ice-cold.
Maraâs lips curled into a smile. âSo what? I've warned you not to bring this up again. Otherwise, I
can't promise what I might do. Even if Balfour finds out, I'll show no mercy.â
Her smile was wicked, unrestrained, as if there was nothing in the world she feared.
Olivia retreated, step by step, until she could no longer bear to meet Maras gaze and bolted
downstairs.
Only when Mara was out of sight did Olivia clutch her chest, panting. âThis woman is terrifying. I
need to move out-staying with her could be the death of me!â

Chapter 2520
It was a bitter realization. After all these years, to have her friend turn on her so suddenly and to
know there was blood on Mara'âs hands!
But what could she do, even with this knowledge? Mara was smug because she had destroyed all
the evidence from back then. If it weren't for Maraâs murmured confessions in her sleep, Olivia
would never have suspected that this Mara was a far cry from the real
one.
As for proof, it was all but a series of clues that led to speculation, nothing concrete to pin on her.
No wonder Mara was so confident.
"Miss, are you alright?â
