A Tale of Betrayal and Redemption Chapter 2

After kowtowing 100 times, the bodyguards finally let her go.

Olivia shakily tried to stand up.

"You deserve all of this," Ethan said coldly as he watched. He then grabbed Olivia and pulled her into the car.

Olivia instinctively tried to pull her hand away.

For the past six months, she had only experienced endless torment. She now feared any physical contact with others.

But she had just been forced to kowtow 100 times and lost a lot of blood. Her body was completely drained of strength and she couldn't pull away.

This resistant gesture only angered Ethan more.

He roughly threw Olivia into the car, sneering: "You dare throw a tantrum at me? Looks like these past six months of lessons were all wasted!"

"Someone like you only deserves to rot in the mud!"

Olivia's vision went black from the pain and her heart seemed to stop.

She had already known Ethan sent her to the mental hospital to deliberately torture her, and had given up hope in him.

But hearing it directly still broke her heart.

Ethan was truly too cruel.

Over a decade of feelings meant nothing compared to his belated realization about Sophie.

But she hadn't done anything wrong, yet became a sinner in Ethan's eyes.

Ethan looked at Olivia with disgust, as if she was some filthy, unlucky trash. "Remember your place when we get back."

"I'm keeping you around to atone for your sins against Sophie!"

Olivia couldn't hear him anymore.

The wounds on her forehead and knees hurt so much she passed out.

In her blurry final moments of consciousness, she vaguely saw Ethan's expression turn panicked, just like how he used to look whenever she got hurt before Sophie appeared.

But the next instant, all she saw was Ethan's back.

"What? You say you saw Sophie? Where is she? I'll go there right away!"

So it had all been her illusion.

Of course, after going mad over Sophie for over six months, how could Ethan care about whether she lived or died.

Only Sophie could make him panic like that.

Olivia was woken up by cold water being splashed on her.

Seeing her awake, the servant threw a maid's uniform at her. "Hurry up and change into this. From now on you're a servant of the Shaw family. When the young master brings the young mistress back, you'll have to atone for your sins!"

Olivia stared blankly at the servant's uniform, finding it darkly amusing.

But she had no choice. Her clothes were soaked in blood and unwearable.

She limped after the servant, standing to the side of the main entrance.

Not long after, Ethan carefully carried a pregnant Sophie back. His face, gloomy for over six months, now wore a satisfied smile of having recovered something lost.

Sophie kept fussing in his arms. "Ethan Shaw, let me go! Didn't you say that even if I died, you wouldn't like me? So why are you bringing me back now? I died once as you wished, go love your Olivia Chen!"

"I'm not trying to win you over anymore, I won't suffer your humiliation again!"

Ethan let her fuss, unable to hide his smile.

"Heaven blessed me by letting you survive. I won't let you disappear again."

"Don't reject me, and don't go after other men!"

"My child absolutely cannot call anyone else father."

Olivia listened to their conversation and stared at Sophie's 7-month pregnant belly, feeling her mind explode.

So Sophie had survived that car accident and spent the past six months pursuing other men.

While the man who had once sworn he only loved her and wanted Sophie dead had been secretly involved with Sophie behind her back.

No wonder Ethan went mad after hearing news of Sophie's death.

So what was all the torture she endured for the past six months?

What about all of Ethan's past vows of love to her?

Olivia suddenly felt herself pathetic and laughable. Her chest felt tight and painful, she couldn't breathe. She also...lost control of her bladder in front of everyone.

The smell quickly spread.

The servants next to her immediately moved away in disgust.

Sophie also noticed her at this moment. Hiding a flash of smugness in her eyes, she pretended to be ashamed and pounded Ethan's chest, retching repeatedly from the smell.

"...Your wife had an accident, hurry up and put me down! Are you still trying to humiliate me at a time like this? I've already said I won't interfere between you and Olivia Chen anymore. You two are meant to be together, please stop torturing me, okay?"

Ethan hurriedly carried Sophie away, comforting her lovingly.

"No, Sophie, you're the one I love."

"I was wrong before. From now on, no one will ever bully you again. I'll help you get revenge for all the grievances you've suffered."

After gently consoling Sophie, he stood on the stairs and berated Olivia in front of everyone:

"Olivia Chen, how old are you to still wet yourself in public? Aren't you disgusted with yourself?"

"This isn't a toilet. If you can't control it, go buy some adult diapers. Don't use the tricks you learned in the mental hospital to disgust me and Sophie."
