The Substitute Bride Can't Escape

Olivia did not know how to explain her background.

In front of Vincent Barton, who could easily see through her, the woman knew that lying was not going to work.

Therefore, she had to tell the truth. "I was raised at my grandfather's place until I was brought back to the White Family at the age of twelve. Jessica and I are half-sisters."

To put it bluntly, Olivia was the product of Greg White's marital infidelity.

Greg did not like Olivia because she kept reminding him of his mistake. If his father had not known the existence of Olivia and insisted on inviting her back, the White Family would not have recognized the girl as a member.

The White Family claimed that Olivia was the second daughter of Greg and Carol. However, her origins were not a secret at all.

Olivia's life was not too bad when her grandfather, Greg's father, was alive. Since the old man died several years ago, however, her time at the White Family had become increasingly difficult. Even the servants could bully her.

Carol and Jessica always wanted to kick Olivia out of the house. As a result, Olivia had to be extremely cautious about any move she took.

Though Olivia downplayed her bitter experience, Vincent could sympathize with her. He guessed that she must have been marginalized in the White Family, and the attention of other members of the family must have all been paid to Jessica.
