Eugene looked at Olivia nervously, afraid she might misunderstand the situation but thought his girlfriend wouldn’t be so dumb as to not see through Azalea’s bad acting. Therefore, he didn’t rush to explain things because that would only worsen things. Just like how Azalea’s rushed explanation made it seem like she and Eugene had something going on.
Meanwhile, Shannon was dumbfounded and nervously glanced at Eugene, wondering if he had betrayed Olivia and why wasn’t he explaining the situation.
While the three grownups didn’t do anything, North was red with anger and shoved Azalea. “Why were you looking for my daddy again?”
Azalea stepped back and looked at North but didn’t argue with him. Instead, she gave Eugene a pitiful glance as though he had done something immoral to her. Then, she bowed at Olivia, apologizing, “I’m sorry. I’ll leave now.” Afterward, she rushed out of the house.
However, Olivia grabbed her wrist when she passed by and pulled her back. Azalea looked at her wrist and then at Olivia, asking, “What are you doing?”
Olivia looked at her and smiled innocently. “That’s what I should be asking you, though. Do I look like a pushover?”
Frowning, Azalea tried to free Olivia’s grip on her wrist. “How are you a pushover? It’s clearly me being bullied.”
Olivia retaliated, “You’re right. Ever since I met you, you’ve been pretending to be weak, gentle, and understanding, as if you’re a well-mannered woman. There will always be blind and ignorant men who fall for your tricks, and I’ve been enduring your antics one after another. Since you provoked me first, though, it would be a waste of effort if I don’t do anything, right?”
While speaking, she gently wiped away the lipstick stain on the corner of Azalea’s lips. Eugene let out an embarrassed cough because he knew Olivia was referring to him. He thought Azalea was a gentle, understanding, and well- mannered woman back then but was proven wrong!
Embarrassed, Azalea tried to move away from Olivia as she didn’t expect Olivia would see through her act, but she still tried to reason with Olivia. “Who’s here to provoke you? I’m here because I have something to discuss with Eugene.”
Olivia sneered. “You came to my boyfriend’s house early in the morning and made yourself look like something had happened between you two. How is that not a provocation? You just want to see me misunderstand you two and pick a fight with Eugene. You want to see if we will break up and whether you can benefit from it It’s just a pity that what you did was meaningless.
The string of accusations gave Azalea no room to explain herself, but it made Eugene secretly relieved. He knew Olivia could see through Azalea’s act, and indeed she did. Intelligent! His girlfriend was very intelligent indeed.
Azalea feigned innocence and complained, ‘Why are you so angry? It’s not what you think. Release me.” While speaking, she glanced pitifully at Eugene.
Then, Olivia tightened her grip on Azalea’s wrist. “Eugene is my boyfriend, so he’s mine before ! discard him! Why are you looking at him? Since you have the guts to provoke me, you should be ready to accept the consequences. Stop using those gross means. Can’t you be more strong- willed for once?”
Feeling the huge pain in her wrist, Azalea tried to get out of Olivia’s grip but failed, so she looked at Eugene again. “Eugene, are you going to stand there and watch your girlfriend treat me like this?”
