The Beginning Of All Sins

Olivia clenched her hands for a moment and then let go. “Okay, Tyler.”

Tyler walked away, leaving them by themselves.

Olivia faced Hillary and, worried that she wasn’t familiar with the house, said, “Come with me, Aunt Hillary.”

Hillary followed Olivia into her room. As soon as they were inside, she couldn’t wait to ask, “What’s wrong with the baby?”

Tyler didn’t wander too far. He paused at the entrance to his study, glanced toward the bedroom for a brief moment, then turned away.

Olivia took a moment before answering Hillary, “The NT scan didn’t go well. I’ll need an amniocentesis.”

Hillary sighed. “So, how’s life treating you here?”

Despite not liking it, Hillary knew she had to tolerate things a lot for the baby’s sake. She just had to wait until the baby was born, and everything should go well after that.

Knowing this, she must comfort Olivia.

And Olivia, seeing how Hillary was trying to care for her, understood her aunt’s intentions. “I’m managing-” she started to say ‘pretty good‘ but stopped herself, “It’s

Holding Olivia’s hands, Hillary smiled. “I’m glad they’re treating you well. Naomi and I have been so worried about you, which is why I came. But I didn’t expect to bump into…

Ana.”

Olivia sensed they had a fight. To that, she simply responded, “Ms. Ana is a nice person.”

Hillary scoffed. “She’s a nice person? She doesn’t like Naomi.”

Olivia chose not to respond to that.

Holding Olivia’s hands tightly again, Hillary insisted, “You must take care of your health.

so that your dad and I won’t be worried, okay?”

Olivia slightly pulled her hands back and mumbled, “Mm–hmmm, I know.”

The shortness of her reply and her withdrawing her hands made Hillary’s eyes narrow. What’s that supposed to mean, Olivia?”

“Nothing.” Olivia replied, her voice still emotionless.

Hillary secretly scoffed. Now that Olivia was staying with the Harrises, she was becoming

defiant.

She didn’t stop staring at her.

Just then, someone knocked on the door. Hillary turned to see Ben entering. He said, ” Ms. Hillary, Ms. Ana asked me to send you home.”

Hillary’s eyes flashed with anger, but she kept her face calm. “Where’s Tyler? He didn’t ask me to leave.”

Olivia understood the tension. Tyler was Hillary’s ace against Ana. He had been on bad terms with Ana for years because of Naomi.

Stuck in the middle of this difficult situation, Olivia remained silent, observing.

Hearing Hillary’s question, Ben clarified, “Ms. Ana mentioned this is the Harris home, not Sandalwood Palace.”

The implication was clear. Sandalwood Palace might be Tyler’s territory, but here, Ana

ruled.
