Grace felt the same,

Meanwhile, after leaving the Ashford estate, Chris had been trying to get a location on the Lucanos heir, but before he could, Grace called.

Her voice was cold, each word carrying weight. “From now on, you are not to see Olivia.”

Chris frowned. “This has nothing to do with her.

His tone was firm, unwavering in his trust.

Grace scoffed, “We’ve been given a clear response, you are never to see her again. And you still think she has nothing to do with this?”

Chris was stunned, “What?”

“Chris, Olivia is nothing but trouble. No one knows what she was up to these past two years abroad, and now she’s back, sick? Don’t be so naive”

Her sharp tone was laced with implication.

Chris’s lips pressed into a thin line, irritation flickering in his gaze. “Don’t talk about her like that.”

“Then tell me, how exactly did she end up with cervical cancer?”

“Do you really think that’s something you can only get from marriage or having kids?” His voice was laced with frustration.

Lately, rumors about Olivia’s illness had spread, with people whispering all kinds of cruel things.

Chris could ignore most of them, but hearing it from his own mother–someone who had watched Olivia grow up–was unacceptable.

“Mom, you know what kind of person Olivia is.”

Grace’s voice was cold. “I’ve never thought she was a good person.”

To Grace, Olivia had always been a scheming woman–one who would bring nothing but chaos if she ever married into the
