Wife’s Return 199

Chapter 199 Such Skillful Tactics 

“Since when am I interfering?” Emily glared at her son, slightly annoyed. “It’s been many years since I saw Olivia, can’t I just catch up with her?” 

At this point, a hint of malice flickered in her eyes as she continued, “Even though she did a lot of foolish things in the past, I won’t hold it against her. After all, she seems to have changed a lot!” 

Upon hearing this, a smirk tugged at the corner of Olivia’s mouth. Just as expected, Emily was no more than a wolf in sheep’s clothing. 

All the groundwork Emily has laid out is just to create an opportunity for her to make ambiguous statements that would invite misunderstandings. 

Upon hearing this, Sarah was taken aback. She abruptly interjected, asking, “Are you referring to Ms. Monroe, Mrs. Carter? She seems so well–behaved. How could she possibly do something outrageous?” 

Sarah was somewhat skeptical of what Emily had said. 

The impression that Olivia had given her was that of a calm and composed girl, completely different to the person Emily had described. 

“Moreover, Eric mentioned before that Ms. Monroe has been quite exceptional since she was young-” 

Right then, Sarah’s voice abruptly ceased. 

Eric, who was by her side, gently tugged at her hand, shaking his head to indicate that she shouldn’t continue. 

Since the last banquet, he knew there was definitely some sort of grudge between Olivia and the Carter family. 

Thus, it wasn’t appropriate for outsiders to get involved. 

Sarah caught on to the situation, but it was already too late. 

Emily was eager for someone to raise a question, so she could continue speaking about the topic. 

She wore a broad smile across her face as she spoke to Eric and the others. “You might not be aware, but back in the day when Ms. Monroe was homeless, it was the Carter family who took her in. Even though she was technically a housekeeper, we never really treated her as one. The Carter family provided for her education and raised her, yet it was a shame…” 

At this point, Emily let out a heavy sigh, her face revealing a look of regret. 

Seeing this, Sarah was almost on the verge of asking what had happened. 

Olivia, with a cold stare, was looking at Emily, curious to hear what she really had to say. 

Emily shook her head, continuing, “It’s a shame she didn’t turn out to be good. As she grew up, she developed ulterior motives, and at a very young age, she dared to do commit some rather shameless acts.” 

Shameless acts? 

Sarah raised her hand to cover her mouth, her face filled with shock. 

“Ah, why am I talking about this?” Emily feigned a look of vexation, waving her hand dismissively. “Let’s not talk about the past. Seeing her doing so well now, I just want to lend her a hand.” 

Lend her a hand? 

Eric and Sarah exchanged a glance, both falling into silence. 

Emily’s proclamation of wanting to help Olivia was insincere, as the disdain implied by her words was real. 

More importantly, she deliberately kept her words vague by accusing Olivia of being shameless and harboring ulterior 

motives.

Simply put, it was all about Olivia being easy, seducing men and committing immoral acts. 

Catching up was just a pretense, for it was clear that Emily was planning to humiliate Olivia. 

One could tell how meticulous Emily’s scheme, while her methods were undeniably ruthless. 

Finished 

Emma was on the verge of bursting into laughter. She looked at Olivia smugly, imagining how much the latter must regret attending the party. 

She can only blame herself for not knowing any better! After tonight, Olivia will become the butt of everyone’s jokes. 

Numerous guests had heard it, and their gazes toward Olivia changed accordingly. 

Some were of contempt, while others held disdain. 

As for Olivia, she stood still with a gloomy expression, her hands subtly clenched at her sides.
