Chapter 4The Price of a Delayed Train

Probably because she saw me lose my composure.

Chloe felt she had won a round and said smugly:

"Did I hit a nerve? I'm just telling the truth."

She flipped her hair and leaned in close to me:

"Olivia, you must be so mad, aren't you? Mad that a country bumpkin you've always looked down upon crawled into your husband's bed!"

She said hatefully: "You and your mother looked down on me, thinking I should rely on your charity and live at your mercy, humiliating me. So I stole your man! I stole her son-in-law!"

My eyes turned icy, and I said coldly: "My mother genuinely helped you. But you? Your mind is twisted, and you actually use such absurd lies as an excuse for your own shamelessness!"

Chloe used to be an impoverished student in my mother's class. She lived with relatives in the city and always wore a torn coat. My mother was always soft-hearted, so she frequently bought her clothes and shoes, and gave her my lightly used clothes.

I never imagined that this kindness would be seen as humiliation in her eyes.

"What kindness? Your mother just used helping me as an excuse to show off that she had a daughter who was better than me in every way!"

"But so what? In the end, your man was still seduced away by me!"

Chloe smiled, her eyes full of malicious delight: "You don't even know. That day when your teacher fell asleep, Ethan and I were right by her bed... The look on her face when she woke up was absolutely fascinating."

"It's a pity, though. We couldn't piss that old hag to death."

My brain buzzed.

Bang.

Her head smashed heavily against the wall.

"Ah! You dare hit me!"

Wearing a short skirt, Chloe was no match for me at all. Pinned down by me, she could only scream and curse: "I'm going to make Ethan cut off your mother's medical funds and make that old hag croak early!"

My eyes were bloodshot. I held her down and smashed her head against the wall, over and over again.

"If you don't know how to speak like a human, I'll teach you!"

At this moment, I didn't care about anything. I just wanted to shut her up and make her pay!

Until a massive force violently threw me away, accompanied by a man's disbelieving, furious roar:

"Olivia! What the hell are you doing?!"
