Oliver left without looking back.


    Elodie, with red eyes, cursed at his back, "You old pervert, ying with women at your


    age. You''ll die in a woman''s bed sooner orter."


    Lucas sighed and said, "Mom, let''s go home."


    When they got home, Oliver wasn''t there.


    No need to ask, he was definitely at that little slut Laura''s ce.


    Elodie was furious and smashed things around the house.


    Lucas, annoyed by the scene, didn''t say much and found an excuse to leave.


    Seeing no one paying attention to her, Elodie''s frustration grew even stronger, wishing she could tear the house down so no one could live peacefully.


    When Oliver arrived at Laura''s ce, she was applying medicine. Seeing Laura''s swollen face, Oliver felt heartbroken, "It''s my fault, I didn''t protect you. I didn''t expect she could find this ce."


    Laura shook her head, tears welling up, "How can I me you? Being with you is already immoral. It''s natural for Elodie to be angry. I feel a bit better after getting hit." Seeing Laura say this, Oliver felt even more heartbroken, "I''ll take you to the hospital." Laura shook her head and forced a smile, "Oliver, I may look terrible, but it''s not that bad. If we go to the hospital and someone recognizes me, it won''t be good for your reputation."


    Thinking of Elodie making a scene at the police station, airing their dirtyundry without any regard for their image, Oliver got even angrier.


    In contrast, Laura seemed even more understanding and gentle in his eyes.


    He felt sorry for her, "You''ve been wronged. I''ll transfer some money to your ount aspensation."


    Laura was secretly pleased but pretended to refuse, "Oliver, I''m with you because I admire and like you, not for money. If you do this, Elodie will have every right to curse me."


    Oliver''s face darkened, "Take the money. You''ve suffered, so you deserve it. Don''t worry; "li filenudresnitriverafly'' i more upmiments, ulvercenter."


    Laura was delighted but quickly showed a surprised look, "Oliver, that would put me in


    a difficult position. I want to be with you, but I don''t want to break up your family."


    A straightforward divorce wouldn''t do.


    If the Manners family didn''t fall apart, how could she justify enduring this old man?


    Oliver sighed slightly. He was just saying that. He had several sons and was quite old. Although he liked the young, beautiful, and gentle Laura, Elodie had been with him for decades. Divorce wasn''t that simple.


    However, Elodie had gone too far and needed to be taught a lesson.


    Laura''s eyes turned, and she softly asked, "Is Elodie okay? I didn''t expect the neighbors to call the police. It was chaotic, and she was taken away by the police. They saw I was injured and let me treat my wounds first, thene back for a statement. But don''t worry, I''ll tell the police it was just an ident."


    Laura''s understanding made Oliver feel even more sorry for her, "You''re right. Elodie is still my wife, and if she gets sued and jailed, it would be embarrassing for me. But don''t worry, I won''t let this go easily. I''ll stand up for you."


    Laura leaned weakly against Oliver''s chest, "Okay, I''ll listen to you."


    Disgusting man.


    No matter how nice he talked, when it came to his own face, he still handled it lightly.


    No wonder the Manners family, except for Katniss who had long broken ties with them, were all so hypocritical.


    Especially ra.


    Understanding and obedient, right?


    When the Manners family falls, she wanted to see if ra could still maintain such grace.


    After some tender moments with Laura, Oliver drove home to confront Elodie.


    Seeing the mess at home only fueled Oliver''s anger.


    He kicked open the bedroom door and found the room in shambles.


    "Elodie, do you still want to live?" he roared, grabbing Elodie from the chair, "You did something wrong, and instead of reflecting, you made it worse?"


    Elodie sneered and pushed Oliver away, "What, doneforting that little bitch? Finally decided toe back? Here to stand up for her? Oliver, can you honestly say you''ve been fair to me?"


    Oliver, displeased with Elodie''s attitude, couldn''t help but say, "Elodie, stop calling her a little bitch. I''m telling you, she''s much kinder and gentler than you. Even after you beat her up, she refused to go to the hospital, just to save my face. She even said she wouldn''t sue you. Look at how much she''s sacrificed for me. And you, you only cause trouble."

    Elodie looked at Oliver in disbelief, "What? You say she''s kind! Hahaha, Oliver, this was all that little slut''s n, you know? She sent me the photos, she told me the ce. Otherwise, how would I know?"


    Oliver didn''t believe her at all, "Even now, you''re still ndering her. Elodie, I didn''t realize you were so scheming. Where''s your previous virtue?"


    "You don''t believe me?" Elodie hurried to find the photos Laura sent her but forgot where she put them. Maybe they were in the living room. Elodie rushed downstairs, "Wait, I''ll get the evidence."


    Oliver''s face darkened, and he scolded, "Have you had enough? I''m telling you, instead of spending so much time troubling Laura, you should think about how to save Nathan and Simon."


    With that, he turned to leave. At the door, Oliver warned, "If you dare trouble Laura again, see how I''ll deal with you."


    The door mmed shut, like a heavy blow to Elodie''s heart.


    She copsed to the ground, tears streaming down.


    She finally realized that this Oliver was no longer the one who loved her.


    Oliver instinctively protected the woman outside, Laura.


    However, Oliver was right about one thing.


    Instead of fighting with another woman for a husband who no longer loved her, she


    should protect her sons.


    With her sons around, Oliver wouldn''t dare go too far.


    Elodie decided to seek help from Katniss.
