Chapter 115 Why Victoria Didn't Like Adeline...

Victoria had just finished dinner and was applying a face mask when she heard her daughter's question, causing her to be so startled that the mask fell off.

She hurriedly rushed out of the room, looking around anxiously.

Relieved to see that nobody was there, she pulled Olivia into her room. She closed the door and reprimanded her.

"Why are you shouting like that? What if your father hears?"

Olivia wasn't completely foolish and could already guess the general situation from her mother's reaction.

Tears that had been welling up in her eyes finally couldn't be held back any longer.

"Why? Why would you do that?"

Seeing her daughter in tears, Victoria's heartstrings were tugged, "Olivia, listen to me. Things are not as you think."

"What do you mean? Tell me!" Olivia's tone was forceful. "I want to hear your version, whether it matches what those women in the high society say! If they're accusing you wrongly, I'll tear each one of them apart tomorrow. I won't allow anyone to bully my mommy!"

Victoria choked up, wanting to refute but fearing Olivia's personality. She might actually follow through and cause a huge scene in high society.

If her reputation were to be ruined, which family would dare to accept her?

At this moment, Victoria was seething with hatred towards Adeline.

If it weren't for her exposing the truth in front of everyone at the restaurant, Victoria wouldn't have been forced to admit to the matter.

Weighing the pros and cons, Victoria finally calmly said, "Yes, I did it. As for the reason, don't you already know deep down in your heart?"

"Mommy, where did our lives go wrong? I truly don't understand. Even if my dad didn't become the chairman, the monthly dividends he and my brother receive are enough for our family to live a decent life. Why did you..."

"Why? Because I want power! I want to be the head of the Riley family! I want my relatives to look up to me! I want everyone from the Riley family to treat me with respect! I want all the ladies in Prodiff to bow their heads and flatter me! I just can't stand the perpetual arrogance of your Uncle Curtis! He was always looking down on others! Why should he!"

Olivia was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and it took her a while to open her lips.

"Mommy, how could you become like this? If you want power, you can make my dad and my brother work hard for it. But you... how could you use such despicable means to frame Uncle Curtis? How can my brother face you? How can I face Adeline?"

Olivia shook her head and added, "My brother will never forgive you." This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Victoria sneered and took out a document from the drawer. "Your brother will only be grateful to me in the future! I'm making decisions for his own good! Do you think I want to do this? Do you think I didn't consider Adeline as my daughter-in-law? But the fact is that she's simply not suitable to be a part of the Riley family!"

Olivia frowned and picked up the document that Victoria had thrown on the bed.

It was a medical report!

The diagnosis on it stated Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and difficulty getting pregnant. And it recommended seeking professional treatment at a fertility clinic as soon as possible.

Olivia staggered back, and her face was pale as she looked at Victoria. "Mommy, how do you have this medical report? This is a matter of personal privacy. How did you get it?"

"A few months ago, Adeline's own mother, Edith, met me and gave it to me. Olivia, don't you think Adeline is a failure as a person? Even her own mother betrayed her! Do you think I can rest assured if I hand over my excellent son to someone like her? Besides, Adeline knew about her condition and deliberately concealed it. That's deceitful marriage!"
