Chapter 114 Confrontation Between Olivia, Uncle Curtis and Adeline
"Is it true or not? You can just ask your Uncle Curtis and you'll know," Mrs. Powell raised her eyebrows and glanced at Curtis, a hint of a teasing smile playing at the corners of her mouth as she stood up.
"Ah, I'm getting old, and I can't sit for too long without feeling uncomfortable. Let you young ones have your gathering."
As she spoke, she glanced at the woman still kneeling on the ground. "Useless thing. Help me up."
The woman realized it and quickly stood up, supporting Mrs. Powell and they left.
Olivia, at this moment, thought about Adeline living at Uncle Curtis' house and the conversations they had in the past few days. Her face turned even paler.
She hurriedly walked towards Adeline, gripping her arms tightly, as if a person on the verge of death was clutching onto a piece of driftwood.
"Adeline, tell me! This isn't true! None of this is true! It's that old hag's nonsense!"
"Let her go." Curtis's brows furrowed with displeasure as he sternly reprimanded, "You're hurting Adeline. If you have something to say, say it to me. I'll tell you everything you want to know."
Olivia realized Uncle Curtis' attitude and trembled as if struck by electricity. She let go of Adeline's arms, turning her head to look at him in disbelief.
"So... it's all true?"
"Yes. It's all my fault." Curtis voluntarily took the blame.
But Adeline couldn't bear to listen anymore and interjected, "It was your mother who drugged your Uncle Curtis.
On the day of the incident, I smashed Mr. Baker's head and went to your brother for help.
Despite my pleas, your brother chose to go on a business trip, leaving me in the hands of your good mother, and he said she would protect me.
I believed her! Because I believed her, I drank the glass of milk she handed me. When I woke up, I was lying on your Uncle Curti's bed."
Adeline's face was filled with shame and anger, but she didn't want Curtis to shoulder all the blame.
"I won't deny that your Uncle Curtis and I both have some responsibility, but your mother is the one who orchestrated this whole thing.
Olivia, your Uncle Curtis, and I never wanted to deceive you.
At first, we didn't know how to explain this humiliating and complicated relationship to you.
But later on, we admitted it, and you just didn't believe us."
Olivia's heart trembled, her eyes turning crimson, and she shook her head continuously.
"No... my mom... how could my mom... you're my sister-in-law!"
The last sentence almost came out as a roar from Olivia.
Although Adeline hadn't married her brother, after three years of being together, she had always treated her as her sister-in-law!
Olivia looked at Curtis as if she had been dealt a heavy blow.
And Curtis nodded heavily in response to her.
"Your mom pushed your sister-in-law onto my bed and then she told your grandfather about it. Being the useless person that I am, I completely lost my standing in the family. With my moral misconduct, your grandfather won't hand over the management rights of the Riley Group to me."
Olivia's body trembled and her face was turning pale to the extreme.
Upon hearing about the management rights of the Riley Group, she instantly understood everything.
"So, in order to seize power, my mom didn't hesitate to sacrifice my sister-in-law, right?" Olivia's heart ached to the point where she couldn't find the words to express it.
"No, your mother never had any interest in me. She has already planned for your brother's next partner." Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"That's impossible!" Olivia almost asserted, "My mom always treated you as a daughter-in-law."
Adeline sneered, "Can a daughter-in-law be pushed onto someone else's bed?"
Olivia choked, but she still shook her head with tears in her eyes.
"No... I still don't believe it! I can't believe my mom would do this to you and Uncle Curtis! I'm going to ask her!"
After saying that, Olivia ran out of the Powell Family villa in a daze.
Adeline was originally worried about Olivia's state and wanted to catch up, but Curtis stopped her.
"She will find it out sooner or later. She's not a child anymore and she needs to learn to face the truth."
As the voice fell, Curtis arranged for someone to secretly follow Olivia, protecting her all the way to the old mansion.
When Olivia got out of the car, she rushed straight into her mother's bedroom.
"Mom, I'm asking you, did you drug Adeline and push her onto Uncle Curtis' bed?"
