Chapter 2022
Having bottled up her frustration for too long, Olivia seemed to have enough.
After getting Erick behind bars, she swiftly got in touch with her lawyer to reclaim every dime he spent on his mistress-Linda-and
their child.
Though, she didn't stop there. Olivia accused Linda, along with Erick and Dahlia, of orchestrating a scam against her.
Despite the mountain of evidence she had gathered, Olivia knew that the legal process could be a tedious affair.
Procedures were slow, and Olivia couldn't wait. She had no intention of letting the mother and child live in a house she had
bought with her own money any longer.
So, she brought seven to eight burly security personnel from her hotel during New Year's to evict the family.
When Stella arrived at the scene, Olivia had already kicked the family to the courtyard of the residential complex. Security
personnel were sporadically carrying luggage out.
Linda was crying and cursing out loud.
"Olivia's kinda tough for telling them to leave the house before going to court. What if they call the cops?" Felicity asked.
Stella explained, "Erick didn’t list the house under Linda's name, but his mom's. Since Olivia married into the family, she can kick
them out. Why let someone live there for free?"
Felicity was surprised. "Wow. Erick played it smart. I thought he and his mistress were really in love. Can't believe he didn't put
her name on the house."
"Affairs are tricky. Married couples have legal stuff to protect their things, but mistresses don't. If the mistress sells the house,
where would Erick go? ’ said Stella.
'With Olivia, Erick keeps the house and lives fancy. Plus, his son gets taken care of. Olivia thinks her hubby is simple and honest,
but to me, he's too clever," she added.
Felicity said, "Thinking about it, Olivia's not so lucky. Her husband going to jail could mess up their kid's future."
"Looking on the bright side, it's good he didn't tell Olivia about the illegal things he did. She also doesn't know about all the dirty
money. They'll have to weigh all factors when it comes to punishment and sentencing."
As they spoke, Olivia emerged from the building. Freed from the shitty excuse of a husband, she seemed visibly better.
She wore a light brown cashmere coat with a small scarf tied around her neck and a small leather bag dangling from her wrist.
Her hairstyle and makeup also made her look refined.
Linda, on the other hand, looked disheveled. She was still in her pajamas, and her hair was in disarray. Moreover, she wasn't
wearing any makeup. There was a stark contrast in her demeanor compared to when Stella met her at the school.
Linda started hurling insults the moment she saw Olivia. "You dumb bitch! You got your husband caught because you were
jealous of me and him. Do you think you can live a good life without him?”
This amused Olivia. "Do you think I'm like you, relying on that scumbag for everything? Is that what he's been telling you?"
"Don't be ridiculous. His measly salary isn't even enough for my daughter's monthly piano lessons. Why would I expect him to
support me? I have yet to see any of the bribery money he supposedly took. Didn't he spend it all on you?"
"Now the authorities are investigating him for the money he gave to you. Why don't you just give it back so that his sentence
could be lighter? That little family of yours might reunite sooner," Olivia continued.
Linda immediately retorted upon hearing her suggestion. "He's your husband. What's this got to do with me?"
Olivia sneered, "It has nothing to do with you. That's why I'm kicking you out."
Linda was annoyed. "Erick bought this house for me and our son. You don't have the right to evict us. I've given birth to a son.
He and his mom told me that everything in the Warren family belongs to my son in the future. Even if you earn the money, half of
it belongs to him. My son has the right to live here! An illegitimate child also has inheritance rights!"
"This woman is outrageous. How can she know that illegitimate children have inheritance rights but not know that the money
Erick earned was
dirty? Without any shame, she boldly proclaims her position. It's as if she has no sense of decency. The legal system is really
nurturing her arrogance! ’ Felicity scornfully remarked.
