Chapter 190: A taste of her own Cruelty

Olivia’s POV

The hall fell deathly silent as every pair of eyes turned to me.

My frown deepened as I slowly scanned the room.

I made sure the message in my eyes was clear: I am angry.

Furious, actually.

And then, my gaze settled on Lady Fiona.

She stood so calmly... too calmly.

A bitter thought crept in:

She’s stepping on me because I allowed it.

But not anymore.

I stood straighter. My voice rang out sharp and clear.

"Everyone sit."

It wasn’t a request. It was a command.

The women obeyed instantly, lowering themselves to their seats—even Lady Fiona.

"Except you, Lady Fiona."

My command echoed in the hall.

Her head jerked up. Confusion flashed in her eyes.

"Keep standing," I said, eyes locked with hers.

Her brows furrowed. "Olivia—"

I cut her off. "No. You wanted everyone to hear you earlier, didn’t you? Then let them hear me too."

She looked more confused now. Good.

I took one slow step forward.

"Where was this same energy," I asked coldly, "when your sons were treating me like trash?"

The room tensed at my words.

"Where was this empathy," I continued, "when they insulted me, cheated on me, humiliated me in front of the entire pack?"

She opened her mouth, but again, I didn’t let her speak.

"You say you care about life, about protecting the innocent—but what about me, Fiona?"

The room was silent.

Dozens of women stared between us.

"You never once stood up for me. Not when they hurt me. Not when I cried myself to sleep in a corner of this house. Not when I begged for someone—anyone—to just ask if I was okay."

My fists clenched.

"But now, look at you. Screaming for justice. Raising your voice for Anita. Look at you—standing like a lioness ready to go to war... for Anita. The same woman who, let me remind you all, had me kidnapped and sold to human traffickers."
