Chapter 114

"How dare you?" Olivia's voice thundered back. Her eyes blazed as she pointed at Marina. "I should have known. I should have stopped this before it began. But I let you make your own choices, David. I trusted your judgment. And look where it's brought us!" She shook her head, her chest heaving. "Because of this woman, you're losing your business. Do you hear me? Losing everything your father and I worked to build. And my poor Lily, my dear Lily. Because of the two of you, she has to suffer. She never deserved this." David's hands balled into fists, but he kept his voice steady. "Mum… this is between us. Between me, Marina, and Lily. You shouldn't get involved. I told you before too... Marina has no fault." In his eyes, Marina was already innocent. Yes, she had her temper, yes, she acted without thinking, but he had never once doubted her heart. Riyana's heels clicked sharply as she stepped closer. "David, how dare you speak to Mum like this?" He turned his head slowly, eyes narrowing.
