Chapter 131 Begging for Help
Florence said anxiously, “Eugene is going against us because of you. Olivia, I know I’m in the wrong. Please help us this time. The Gray Group is the result of your Uncle Michael’s hard work, and it can’t be destroyed just like this.”
Olivia was so infuriated that she wanted to laugh. “You brought along a group of people to scold and beat up my son. You also cursed me in the meanest way possible. It’s already very kind of me to stop pursuing the matter, but now you want me to beg for forgiveness on your behalf? Don’t you think your request is ridiculous?”
Florence begged, “I already said it’s my fault. Hugo did nothing wrong, and it was Anna who seduced him seven years ago. In fact, he was the victim. Please save us considering the fact that he’s been missing you for seven years!”
Olivia sneered and said in a cold voice, “It was his fault for making the wrong friends, being unable to resist temptation and spouting nonsense irresponsibly. Everyone has to be responsible for their own mistakes. Since you guys are in the wrong, why should I take up the responsibility for you? Do I look like a pushover? Eugene has said that he will make the Gray Group disappear in a month. If you have the time, go back and try to save your company. Why didn’t you think of the consequences when you chided me in the past?”
Florence was rendered speechless as her chest heaved in anger. “Olivia! How could you be so ruthless? Are you set on destroying my family? I’ve already apologized to you in a lowly manner—”
Before she could finish her words, Hugo stormed into the room and grabbed his mother’s arm. He was so incensed that he couldn’t utter a word.
“Mom, what are you talking about? I told you not to come here.”
Seeing him, Florence wailed aggrievedly, “I can’t let the Gray Group be destroyed just like this!”
Staring at her, Olivia snorted, “Did you say you apologized to me in a lowly manner? In fact, you said those words insincerely. Do you think I’ll save you at the expense of my own reputation? It’s you guys who hurt me, but it isn’t me who is targeting your company. How could you come here and spout nonsense to me? How am I ruthless? I pale in comparison to you!”
Hugo was made ashamed by what she said. “Olivia, I’m sorry that I didn’t manage to stop my mother from coming here. I didn’t mean to bother you, so please don’t be angry. I’ll go home with my mom now.” With that, he directly lugged his mother out of the place.
“Why are you so cowardly? Don’t you like Olivia? Say something… You’re so useless…” After they were out of sight, Olivia could still hear Florence’s ramble. Seated on a chair, she had become exhausted out of anger. Meanwhile, she was wondering why Eugene would really target the Gray Group. Was it really because of her? Feeling a headache coming on, she raised her hand and rubbed her head. Why is he so good to me?
After work, she left the studio and went to fetch her kid in her car. It was only a ten-minute drive between the school and the studio, but she had to move past a traffic light. When the traffic light turned green, she put down the brake. However, she wasn’t aware that on the adjacent road, a truck ignored the traffic light and the black car in front of her as it came at her directly. Its speed was so swift that she couldn’t even react.
In that instant, she subconsciously stepped on the gas in an attempt to escape from it. Nevertheless, her car shook violently as a deafening crash was heard. She could feel that her Ferrari was hit into the air and flipped over a few times before crashing back to the ground. Her head hit on the ejected airbag, and she became dizzy instantly. In a daze, she could see that smoke was rising from her car.
