The Beginning Of All Sins

Ana watched Keith leaving for the dining hall, her expression growing colder. Meanwhile, inside, Olivia was drenched in cold sweat, listening intently to the approaching footsteps.

Keith approached her and asked, “What happened? When was this taken?”

Everyone knew it was recent since they recognized her attire.

Olivia’s fear of Keith outweighed her fear of Tyler. She lowered her head, trembling, and closed her eyes in

silence.

“Did we mistreat you so badly that you felt compelled to do this?”

Keith was taken aback by the news. He couldn’t fathom that Olivia would take such a drastic step. He began to question her purity, especially considering their shotgun wedding. He had misjudged her.

Ana had chosen such a woman from among many.

Furious, he instructed Ben, “Get Tyler back home. He needs to handle this!”

Ben came over as soon as he heard him. “Sir, he’s on a business trip. I’m afraid he can’t return by today.”

“Call him now then.”

Ben realized how serious it was. “Yes, sir.”

The dining hall fell silent suddenly, leaving Olivia feeling exposed and publicly shamed as every gaze bore

into her.

The piercing stares felt like lashes against her skin.

Standing behind Keith, Ana frowned deeper, her heart sinking with each passing moment.

Just then, Maisy entered, exclaiming, “What’s going on here? Is this a trial?”

Tyler received Ben’s call just as he reached the embassy. “Come home immediately. There’s been an

emergency.”

He remained silent for a long moment before finally disconnecting the call.

Turning to Linda, he instructed, “Prepare the jet.“.

Knowing the news must have caused a stir in the city, Linda dared not contemplate the challenges

awaiting them at home.

“And the project…” She didn’t’dare to finish her question.

Ana and Keith looked at Maisy.

2/2

Maisy couldn’t believe her beloved Olivia could be involved in such a scandal. That was why she said that

when she entered.

Approaching Olivia directly, she declared “Try to lay a hand on her if vou dare.”

“Mom, it’s not that simple. This is serious. We’ve never faced such a scandal before with any daughter– in-

law!”

Keith was concerned that Maisy didn’t know the gravity of the situation.

“Save it. She’s pregnant, so shut your mouth.”

Maisy didn’t listen to what they had to say, ordering a maid, “Take her to the room to rest.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

She was protecting Olivia, prohibiting anyone from interrogating her.

Keith wanted to protest further but felt helpless, left to seethe silently. In order to stop the chaos, the maid rushed to Olivia. “Let’s go, Ma’am.”
