Chapter 231
Mia’s clothes were a little wrinkled, so she needed to change. Fortunately, she had brought spare
clothes, so at least she would not embarrass herself.
After changing her clothes, she sat on the sofa in a daze.
Sensing that Mia was in a bad mood, Olivia tilted her head to look at her. and asked, “What’s wrong?
Are you feeling unwell?”
Mia shook her head and bit her lip as she looked at Olivia. “Olivia, you…”
“Yeah?” Olivia glanced sideways.
Thinking of the scene of David being pulled out by the male attendant, Mia felt a little sympathetic. She
sighed and said in a low voice, “That David looks young. He seems to have been tricked by someone.
That’s why he barged in and said those nasty things.”
Mia paused for a moment and looked at Olivia curiously. “Olivia, you… really have nothing to do with
the Taylor family in Evervale?”
Olivia nodded with a calm expression.
“Not anymore.”
“How could one make such a mistake?” Mia frowned. “That David must have been angry because she
thought you were his sister.”
“It’s not just that.” Olivia sat on the sofa with a cold expression. “He’s being manipulated.”
“What?” Mia was surprised.
David, who was hiding in the bathroom, also clenched his fists.
Olivia’s eyes were indifferent. “The truth he knows is obtained from somewhere else. It’s not accurate.
Many things are wrong. First of all, Samuel and Amelia don’t just want to apologize to me. They really
plan to use public opinion to pressure me. They just didn’t have the time to use it.
“I don’t know who told him the information, but it’s not hard to guess. It’s either Emma or Yvonne. He
was just instigated.”
Mia was stunned. “Then why didn’t you explain and tell him the truth?” Olivia’s expression did not
change at all. She only raised her eyebrows slightly and asked calmly, “Why should I tell him the truth?”

Olivia lowered her gaze. “You’re the person I care about, so I’ll explain it to you. But who is he? He’s
just an irrelevant person. Telling him the truth, teaching him, guiding him, and pointing out who are the
people. who have ulterior motives around him, are his parents‘ responsibility, hist elder brother’s and
sister’s responsibility.
“When he was my brother, I was willing to teach him. I was willing to nurse him back to health and point
out the abnormalities of his bad. temper.
“But he’s not anymore. Not only that, he even has ill intentions toward me. Why should I do anything
unnecessary?”
Olivia had never been an unconditionally soft–hearted person. She was only kind to some people.
There was a line drawn in her heart. The inside and the outside of the line divided the people she cared
about and the unimportant people crystal clear.
When David was inside the line she drew, she would be sad because of some of his words, but it was
only based on the fact that she cared about. him.
Now, David had been moved out of the line. To her, he was just an insignificant, slightly familiar
stranger.
Why would she spend so much effort to teach him and correct him?
If it was a misunderstanding, so be it. If he was deceived, so be it. If he could not differentiate between
sincerity and hypocrisy, so be it. If he was hot–tempered, so be it.
What did it have to do with her?
There were so many muddle–headed people in the world. She was not a saint and did not have the
habit of being a teacher to others.
With that, Olivia’s gaze swept across the bathroom door subtly. Then, she stood up and said softly,
“Let’s go.”
A long time passed after Olivia and Mia had left, but David remained where he was, motionless.
It was as if his body had been thrown into an icehouse. All the blood in his body was frozen and then
turned into ice blades that twisted in his flesh.
It was so painful that his teeth chattered.

“David, what’s wrong?” Athene nudged him.
David was over 5 feet and 10 inches tall, yet he was as light as a feather right now. Athene only poked
him lightly, yet he staggered.
He looked up blankly and glanced at Athene. Then, he quickly lowered. his head, opened the door, and
left.
The first thing David did after leaving Duke Devonstern’s mansion was to call Amelia.
“Mom, tell me the truth. Are you and Dad planning to use public opinion to force Olivia to compromise?”
Amelia was not a very shrewd person. When she heard her son’s question, she subconsciously
became nervous. “David, how did you know?”
“Hehe…” David laughed at himself.
He felt that he was really f*cking stupid and deserved it!
He continued, “What about Emma? Does she know?”
Before Amelia could reply, David added, “Mom, don’t lie to me. If you lie to me, I won’t believe you for
the rest of my life.”
Amelia was silent. After a while, she said with difficulty, “The three of us discussed it together.”
David understood. He raised his hand and pulled his hair. “So, you guys wanted to force Olivia to do
something, but you failed. Then, you were reported by her. Emma deliberately vagued the main point
and misled me to find Olivia to settle the score?”
“David?” Amelia frowned. “How can you say that about your sister? Olivia reported her. It’s a fact that
she’s going to jail. So what if you help her as her younger brother?”
“Help her?” David kicked the table, and there was a loud bang.
On the other end of the line, Amelia was shocked. “David, what’s wrong?” “What’s wrong?” David was
so furious that he laughed. “Would I not have helped her if she told me the truth? Why lie to me and
hide key information? Do you think it’s funny to see me run to Olivia and yell like a clown?
“Why can’t you make it clear? Is it fun to mislead me? If Olivia was not in the wrong and she’s not a
member of our family, I would have a more suitable way to communicate with her instead of…

David could not continue. When he thought of how self–righteous he had been at the banquet
previously, he felt extremely ashamed. “Forget it.” He sat down on the chair. “Do whatever you want.
Don’t call me again.”
With that, he hung up mercilessly.
Amelia called out a few times. When she realized that David had really hung up, her face was first filled
with disbelief, then anger.
She went to William with the phone and complained about David’s actions.
She accused David of being disobedient, inconsiderate, and not. understanding at all.
William listened to her quietly. Then, he held Amelia’s shoulders with both hands and pressed her into
the seat.
“Mom.” William looked at Amelia closely with a complicated gaze.
“What’s wrong with you? You used to care about David and me. Why do you only care about Emma
now? Aren’t we both your children? Don’t you love us?”
Amelia was stunned. She looked lost and did not know what to say.
Seeing this, William’s heart ached. Could not bear to ask further, he leaned over and hugged Amelia,
then said in a low voice, “Mom, there are some things that you shouldn’t get involved in anymore.
Leave it to me. I’m here, okay?”
Amelia nodded. Her eyes were still filled with panic, but she remembered William’s words.
She lowered her head in frustration and reflected on herself. “I went overboard. I only cared about
Emma and ignored David. In addition, I haven’t been in good spirits recently. I’ll take some medicine
and rest when I get back.”
“Take medicine?” William frowned. “What medicine?”
Amelia smiled. “It’s a mood control medicine. It’s very effective. I’ve been taking it for more than ten
years. Your father got it from a famous doctor. David had a bad temper when he was young. He even
took some. The effect is very quick.”
Upon hearing that Amelia had taken medicine for more than ten years, William nodded and heaved a
sigh of relief. However, he still reminded her, “All medicine is poisonous to some extend. You should
take less. If
you’re not feeling well, sleep and rest more.”
“Don’t worry,” Amelia promised.
