Her Precious Baby

Chapter 254

Chapter 254

“If you hadn't kept rejecting Dad's ideas in everything, he wouldn't have slipped into a depression. Are you trying to do the same to me?” Evander fumed.

“You...”

The death of Evander's father had always been a sore point with Valerie, and now that the wound had been ripped open again, she felt nothing but pure, unadulterated rage.

“Evander Golding, is this how you talk to me?” she retorted, hands shaking as she glared at her grandson.

A heavy silence instantly befell the room.

Olivine, who had yet to say a word, finally saw her chance to take action.

She feigned a timid, nervous glance at Evander and uttered, “Try to give in to Old Mrs. Golding, Evander. We shouldn't stress her out any further at her age. Look... I'll agree to call off our engagement if that's what you want.”

Not only had Olivine shown how empathetic she was, but she had also expertly removed all blame from herself.

Unfortunately, her acting could fool everyone but Evander.

“If you were truly that considerate, you wouldn't have let Grandma hold tire press conference in tire first place,” he scoffed.

Grandma's a wise and sensible woman. She wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to hold a press conference just because she read about Angeline's scandal. I'm sure Olivine must've farmed the flames!

“I-I...” Olivine mumbled, all anxious and teary-eyed.

As much as she hated to admit it, Evander's piercing gaze was like a detector that could flesh out her deepest and darkest secrets.
