After that, Olivia said, “To make your daydreams come true, Eugene would abandon me to save you, his savior, so you’d feel better about it. We played along with your script and didn’t even confront you about hiring killers to target the three children. What about you? Your men even screwed up and almost killed Eugene. So, which of your actions deserved his praise?”
Azalea could hardly accept this truth. Perhaps, because of the extreme sorrow, she lowered her head and gasped loudly for air.
Then, Olivia looked at her and said, “Do you want to know how we learned about you asking killers to hurt the children? I can’t understand this at all. You like Eugene and hate me, so you could’ve just targeted me, but you targeted the children as well. How shameless can you be? What did the children do wrong?
You would commit crimes to obtain a man who doesn’t love you, but is your love that noble, and do you think you’re the only one with love like that? Do you think only you have motives? You treated everyone like fools simply because they kept quiet, right? How could you even speak of love when you’re so shameless?” She didn’t pull any punches and showed zero sensitivity.
However, Azalea knew that nothing she said now could help with anything. Hence, she sat dumbfoundedly on the ground, reflecting on what she had done for the past few months. Truly, just like Olivia said, she was already slightly insane.
Azalea fell in love with Eugene six years ago, but she had never done anything outrageous because of her position as a princess, as well as her sense of reason and upbringing from her childhood. She convinced herself she was doing fine, but her composure was severely shaken when he abruptly left. Then, she told herself that if she missed him another time, she might not have any more chances with him.
She saw the gentle look in his eyes when he mentioned his girlfriend, and she could barely control her raging emotions upon hearing that. She felt as if someone was coveting her possessions. Unexpectedly… Fate decided everything, and there was nothing she could do about it. Her fate with him was still lacking, so even if she used up all her energy and tricks up her sleeve, she couldn’t change that!
On the other hand, Ellen finally understood everything. Essentially, Azalea is responsible for the robbery that Eugene foiled. She even got the little children involved! At that moment, she dared not imagine it. Every time she thought about the scene, she felt cold sweat breaking out on her back. How could my son be at ease if something happened to my grandson and Olivia?
Then, she took two steps toward Azalea, saying in furious pain, “I thought you were gentle and considerate, so how could you do such a thing, girl? You’re calculative; I’ll give you that. If Eugene went to save you, Olivia would be sad, and she might leave him. If he went to save Olivia, you’d be fine, but he would feel guilty because he couldn’t save you.
How could you be so calculating? You’re just putting him in a dilemma! Did you save him just to make him suffer? Also, you say you love him? Every one of your plans is more vicious than the last, and you targeted either my lil’ grandson or my daughter-in-law. How can you just kill a living person like that? Do you think you’re killing an ant or something? Your heart is too foul!”
Her words weren’t as cruel as Olivia’s or as cold as Eugene’s, but Azalea felt shameful when she heard them.
Ultimately, Azalea smiled self-mockingly, “How calculating can I be if I ended up like this today? I’m not the calculative one, your son and daughter-in-law are! They were the ones who turned my plans against me, I was part of their plan!”
