Chapter 90
In an instant, traces of awkwardness permeated the atmosphere.
Madam Enya frowned as she sat at the table.
Ever since Maggie had gone mad and wanted to scratch Olivia's face in front of them, the Clements couple had a big gap
between them and their niece, Maggie, who wasn't blood-related.
Even before, Madam Enya had treated Maggie as her daughter.
She was taking good care of her, but after that incident, she stopped treating her as before.
For Madam Enya, there was always a bottom line in kindness.
When a person was disappointed, no matter how much they care, they would eventually get tired.
In other words, no matter how much she liked Maggie in the past, based on the fact that she was trying to hurt her daughter, no
parents would repay her grievances with kindness.
Not even the Clements couple, who were extremely protective of their children.
However, Maggie also seemed to have noticed the subtle atmosphere in which she was not welcomed.
As a layer of mist rose in her eyes, her eyes darkened.
Her happy face had turned into a sad one on the verge of crying.
"I'm sorry, but it's all because of my presence that everyone is unhappy.So I'm leaving right now."
After saying that, she turned around to leave but was stopped by Master Langston.
"Where are you going?" Master Langston asked.
"Now that you've returned, wash your hands and sit down to eat." Maggie was, after all, his niece.
So, even if he was disappointed with her, he couldn't be so harsh with her.
Pretty sure that when the time comes, the reputation of the entire Clements Family, including Olivia, would not be as good as it
was.
Of course, Maggie would not really leave.
It was just a move to retreat.
"Thank you, Uncle ‘’ Maggie said and did as he said, wiping away her tears and washing her hands on the table.
Olivia acted as if she didn't notice Maggie beside her.
After all, Olivia was uninterested in her, so she didn't bother to pay attention to Maggie.
Instead, she continued to talk to her younger brother and eat as if nothing had happened.
The atmosphere at the dining table was subdued.
Maggie wanted to win their favor, so she served them soup gently.
Even if the servants came to pick her up, she would insist on making it herself.
Looking at Maggie's obedience and reluctance, Master Langston couldn't help but reflect on the fact that his niece had to live on
her own because her parents were still in distress.
Regardless, he was the only relative on whom his niece could rely on.
Master Langston had always been soft-hearted when it comes to her.
He still believed that Maggie was innocent.
But, Olivia cut him off just as he was about to say something.
"Last week, a painting master came to our school, Mom.He simply liked my painting and said that he wanted to send it to the
arena.So, if I win a prize or something, maybe I won't be criticized behind my back in the future, right?"
"Really?"
Of course, Madam Enya was impressed.
Her face was beaming with pride.
"I told you, how could my daughter be humble? Indeed, this master's vision is truly exceptional!"
She admired her daughter's skills, but she knew in her heart that her daughter was not the type of person who liked to show off.
Not to mention that her painting was in the master's opinion.
Even if she won an award on the international stage, she would not deliberately say it.
Hence, Madam Enya understood and asked, "And what happened?"
"However, there was a minor incident that occurred.My cousin may have mistakenly claimed my painting as her own at that
time.As a result, there was almost a misunderstanding between us.’ Olivia gave them a faint smile as she continued,
"Fortunately, I discovered it in time, and this misunderstanding was cleared up.”
Otherwise, I'd be smothered in criticism once more.Olivia added, implying that the misunderstanding was unimportant.
‘‘What a coincidence!’’ Olivia sneered.
‘’But I'm pretty sure that it was not” she said to herself.
Still, it was the probability that was possible to exist.
The Clements couple glanced at each other, catching a glimpse of anger and shock in each other's stunned eyes.
They were so furious that their daughter almost schemed.
Maggie's courage and strategies for bringing Olivia down were surprising, given her young age.
As a result, when the couple looked at Maggie again, their eyes were filled with disappointment.
