After Flash Marriage, I Found That My Husband Is A Billionaire

chapter 66 Likes to rub salt into other people's wounds

"Sweetie, did the mother-daughter duo cause trouble for you again?"

As soon as Olivia entered the door, Sofia took her daughter's hand and fumed, "Do they think their life is going to all sunshine and roses now after regaining their freedom? With Xia Construction's current condition, there's more to Tyrone's sufferings, so how dare they make these unnecessary annoying remarks before us?"

Olivia patted Sofia's hand immediately. "Mom, it's okay. Let them be. They won't be able to show off very soon."

"You're right! Xia Construction has turned to dire state within a few years of me being sick. Yet, these trashes have the courage to flaunt themselves before me."

Sofia looked at Xavier. "Xavier, our family relationship is complex. These two women outside are not kind-hearted people, so you should avoid them if you see them in the future. There's no point in getting involved with them, for they will bring chaos to you!"

Xavier nodded. "Don't worry, Aunt Sofia. I know what to do."

"Although you are inadequate in terms of your financial capabilities, you are much better than someone like Steven who fools around, failing to distinguish right from wrong. I overheard you standing up for Olivia just now. I hope you can take care and protect her like this in the future, and don't disappoint the love she has for you and the determination she has to be with you."

The corners of Olivia's mouth twitched, thinking, "Since when am I in love with him? I got married to him only because I was being impulsive. Why did Mom make it sound like I'm one of those rich, hopeless romantics who is dead set on marrying a poor man? Besides, Xavier is not low-paid. He merely keeps his identity of being a powerful and influential man hidden.

As expected, Xavier couldn't help but cast an equivocal look at Olivia. He put his arm around her shoulder and replied thoughtfully, "Yes, Aunt Sofia. I will take good care of her."

After chatting with Sofia briefly, Olivia noticed it was time to say goodbye. She told Sofia she had a last-minute job and needed to head to Jing Cheng for half a month.

Sofia frowned when she heard the news. "You're traveling so far away? Remember to do your job well, and don't go to random places. You shouldn't talk to strangers too!"

Olivia found her reaction abnormal.

However, she didn't overthink it. The woman nodded. "I know, Mom. Please rest well while I'm gone. You are most probably going to be discharged when I return. Remember this. Don't talk to the Xia Family unless necessary. They are all useless pieces of trash. "

Olivia reminded the nurses and the guards again to ensure Sofia's safety before leaving the ward with Xavier.

Meanwhile, Chole had waited outside for a while. She planned to bump into Xavier accidentally once he emerged and fell into his embrace.

However, Xavier had keen eyesight and reacted quickly. As soon as Chole rushed toward him, he quickly ducked out of the way.

Not only that, he even pulled Olivia out of Chole's way.

They stepped aside, and Chole crashed into the wall beside them.

"Ouch!" Chole exclaimed, covering her head in pain. As she knocked into the wall at a 60-degree angle, she struggled to get up for a while to no avail.

She looked at Xavier with sad and aggrieved eyes, squeezing a few tears.

Xavier looked the other way and took Olivia's hand. "Are you okay?"

The corners of Olivia's mouth twitched. She mused, "Why wouldn't I be okay?"

"The floor is slippery, so be careful when walking, okay?"

Xavier's charismatic voice was filled with tenderness and affection. Olivia coughed and nodded. "Okay."

Then, the two held hands and passed by Chole as if she were invisible.

Chole's face turned red with anger. After grimacing in pain for a few moments, she unleashed her frustration on the nurse who was passing her side. "What's the matter with this hospital? Do you guys want me to fall to my death with that slippery floor of yours? Why are you still standing there? Come over now and help me up!"

After regaining her stability, the upset Chole watched as Xavier and Olivia got into a car downstairs and left. She narrowed her eyes, promising herself, "Just you wait. Xavier, you will be mine!"

"Tim's physical examination report shows that he has been abusing drugs."

Xavier's voice was casual, with a hint of doubt when he spoke inside the car.

Olivia crossed her hands behind her head and raised her chin lazily. Crossed-legged on the passenger seat, she replied, "So?"

"He is not one to do that," Xavier said and smiled at Olivia. "So, tell me. Dr. Xia, how did you pull that off?"

He glued his eyes to the live broadcast on that day, so he saw everything that happened between Olivia and Tim.

Other than using the knife to slash Tim, Olivia didn't have further physical contact with her captor, so Xavier wasn't sure how Olivia drugged Tim.

"It's a surprise you don't understand how I did it!" Olivia grinned at Xavier mischievously. "It's simple. I didn't slash him because I want to castrate, but it's my way of agitating him enough to treat me violently, and secondly, I like to rub salt into others' wounds."

Xavier mused, "So did she smear the tip of the knife with drugs when she grabbed it? Otherwise, drugs would not have been detected in Tim's body after undergoing a physical examination at the custody center, and his wound wouldn't have fester rapidly in a day."

Apparently, Tim's condition deteriorated so quickly that he was in the emergency room now.

Nevertheless, ordinary doctors had no way of treating Tim's wound. Besides, if the festering continued, Tim's leg would be gone within two days.

Although Olivia didn't plan to castrate him, what she did to Tim now was way more terrifying.

"Do you think I'm a horrible woman?" Olivia shook her legs and raised her brow.

Xavier answered, "Your fate will be even worse if he succeeds." Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Therefore, he did not think Olivia's actions were cruel.

She never thought about harming anyone. It was those people who refused to let her live peacefully and insisted on making trouble for her.

Olivia was retaliating, serving punishments to those evil men.

Xavier thought, "Claire and the old man from Jianglin Si Family, the father who raised me, has been bothering me these few days, though."

The car was quiet, with only soothing music playing in the background.

Olivia didn't look at Xavier. However, she could sense the melancholy in his heart amid the silence.

She threw a small bottle to Xavier before alighting the car. "Take this. Just pick me up at eight o'clock tonight."

Xavier lowered his head to look at the small bottle without any label in his hand and then gazed at Olivia as he grinned.

"My wife is courageous and resourceful while also kind-hearted and emphathetic at the same time. I'm a lucky man for marrying her!"

The truth was Olivia was not soft-hearted. She was just afraid of ruining Tim's life.

If Xavier were not from the Si Family, Olivia would never bother to save Tim.

But then again, as a part of the Si Family, Xavier allowed Tim to be arrested for Olivia's sake while also gathering evidence to convict Tim of his crime, so Olivia understood how deeply Xavier cared for her.

The Si Family would not let Xavier off the hook after seeing what happened to Tim.

Olivia thought, "It is a given that Tim will be jailed in the future. The less complications, the better. I should quit while ahead. That way, not only do I appear to be generous and forgiving, but Xavier will also feel sorry toward me. So why not?"
