Chapter 70
Chapter 70:
Panic flickered across Olivia’s face. She had slipped out while Ryan was tied up at work. If he found out the truth, every lie she had told would unravel.
Her lips pressed together as she struggled to compose herself.
After a brief pause, she lowered her voice. “What do you actually want p>
Felicity tightened her grip on Kailey’s hand and didn’t hold back. “Nothing much. I just felt like saying what needed to be said. I have never seen anyone with thicker skin than you. You lie, you frame Kailey over and over, and you still have the nerve to spend her uncle’s money like it belongs to you. Let me make one thing perfectly clear—don’t ever appear in front of me again. And if I catch you going after Kailey one more time, words won’t be enough. I’ll take action myself. You can test me if you like. You can’t even stand on your own. You cling to men like a parasite. If you’re that desperate, then hurry up and marry Ryan instead of stirring trouble everywhere you go p>
With that, Felicity grabbed Kailey and pulled her toward the exit.
Olivia stood rooted to the spot, a wave of humiliation crashing over her. She had never been called out so openly in her life. Kailey.
The two sales associates who had witnessed everything exchanged wide-eyed looks. One of them hesitated before asking softly, “Miss Marsh, would you still like to purchase the bag p>
“To hell with it!” Olivia snapped.
Her face burned. Staying another second was unbearable. She snatched her purse from the sofa and stormed out of the mall without looking back.
“Did you see her face? It went from red to white so fast—like watching a live color change!” The image replayed in Felicity’s mind, and she laughed so hard she nearly doubled over.
Once she caught her breath, she shot Kailey a teasing look. “Next time you run into her, don’t give her even a shred of courtesy, alright? People like her only get bolder when you’re polite. You need a completely different approach p>

Kailey nodded slowly before letting out a quiet sigh. “I avoid arguing with her not because I can’t handle it, but because she’s not worth my time or energy p>
Felicity paused to consider that, then gave a nod of agreement. “Fair enough. Just treat her like she doesn’t exist next time. Ryan might not see it now, but sooner or later he’ll understand what she really is. That day should be very interesting p>
Kailey glanced at her, and the two of them exchanged a quiet, knowing smile.
They wandered through the mall for nearly two hours but bought almost nothing. Just as they were debating where to eat before heading home, Felicity’s phone rang.
Kailey caught her odd reaction and tilted her chin toward the phone. “Why aren’t you picking up p>
“It’s nothing important. Probably spam.” Felicity forced a casual tone and muted the call. “Come on, I’m buying you dinner. There’s a place nearby with grilled beef that’s unbelievably good p>
The phone rang again before they had gone far.
