Chapter 189: New Family

In the Xavier Family,

"Misunderstanding? Do you consider this a misunderstanding?" Olive asked in front of her father and sister.

"Sis, dad called you just now!" Olive's twin sister yelled from the other room.

"I'm busy!" Olive was taking a shower inside a bathroom when she heard her sister's commotion. Despite the fact that her twin sister continued to bother her, she drowned herself in the shower while smiling brightly.

The frost on her face was gradually dissipating. She stepped out and changed her clothes after taking a shower. She then proceeded to the living room, where her father and sister were waiting.

"Take a seat!" Emperor Lewis spoke with a stern expression on his face as he looked at her. Olive took a seat right away, while Sera remained standing. Emperor Lewis's countenance gradually changed as he sighed and said, "Today, I want to share something with you."

"This may be difficult for you to accept, but I want you to understand."

As he said this, he turned his head to look at Sera. When she saw her father signal, she understood and began undressing. Many cuts and whipping marks could be observed on her body when she undressed. Olive clenched her fist and sneaked a look at her father with a bitter face when she saw the scars.

Emperor Lewis could only sigh when he saw the expression on his daughter's face. But then Sera did something that was difficult to witness. She started tearing her own skin. Olive stood up to try to stop her, but when she discovered the skin was fully synthetic, she was startled.

"Sera was never subjected to torture. As I previously stated, neither of you is qualified to be the Xavier family's heir. That implies you don't have to go through any of the training that an heir is required to go through. All I did was compel you to finish in the top ten."

"There is a testing place for an Ancient Phoenix inside the Divine Grade tomb. They are well-known for having the most powerful healing abilities. Although you lack your sister's regeneration ability, you could still inherit the Ancient Phoenix lineage to compensate for the regeneration intrinsic ability."

"You may also bring back other inheritance to aid your sister. That was my intention. After all, S-Rank is a family's treasure. However, you were unwilling to practice. You couldn't make the top 10 if you didn't practice."

"So, I had no choice except to notify your sister about the plan and collaborate to force you to train. I hope you will forgive me for putting you through all of that confusion?" With a somber expression on her face, Emperor Lewis stepped up and spoke.

"Misunderstanding? Do you consider that a misunderstanding?" Olive asked in front of her father and sister.

"Sister, it was all a ruse. Father never tortured anyone. We were simply attempting to motivate you for the cultivation." Sera spoke while clinging to Olive's arm, leaving a gorgeous smile.

Slap!

"For my own sake? Do you believe I'm a masochist? Do you think I'd like to be injured in my heart and cry every night until my eyes turn red? Do you think I enjoy practicing until my body gives out? Do you believe it's a waste of time for me to take pain relievers every night?"

"Are you saying that everything I did was for naught? DO YOU KNOW HOW HURT I WAS WHEN THIS MONSTER TORTURED YOU RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME?" The entire room became silent when Olive yelled in front of Sera, tears streaming down her cheeks, pointing her finger at her father and calling him a monster.

A woman sat on the ground in the room next to the living room, her arms about her legs. Her eyes were filled with nothing but tears. She had warned Lewis several times not to do this. But he was deafeningly deafening And now she despises Lewis while also pitying him.

It stings no matter how cold-hearted you are when your own daughter calls you a monster without regard for your feelings.

Sera was still perplexed by the slap that reverberated across her cheeks. Her sister was everything to her throughout her life. Olive did everything for Sera. As a result, Sera adores her sister more than anyone else. But no matter how much you love someone, if you can't figure out what's going on in their heart, your love will be meaningless.

"Do you realize how much anguish you've caused me, monster? Every single day, I condemned you to death, and now you're telling me that you did it for me. You've lived longer than I have. You've encountered every situation."

"Don't you realize that actions speak for themselves?" Do you think those icy words will soothe my rage? In my heart, you were and always will be the cold, cruel monster. That will never change in a billion years." Olive's tears did not stop flowing as she yelled at her father.

She seemed to be releasing all she had been holding in for a long time. She immediately exited the house after saying that. The lady in the next room came running after her, shouting, "Olive, where are you going? Please return! We can work it out."

"Never! Kill me now, but I'll never return to this house." As she went away, Olive yelled. While walking on the ground, she wasn't even wearing her slippers.

There weren't many individuals in the neighborhood. However, some bodyguards were perplexed by the situation.

"Why are you still standing there? Go find her and bring her back! What do you think she'll do? She's just speaking in a heated moment?" The woman returned to the home, grabbed Lewis' collar, and yanked him out.

But she was stopped when she felt a touch on her shoulder. When she turned around, she noticed Sera. She was taken aback when she saw Sera's expression. Sera's eyes were welling up with tears.

"I've never been hit by Sis. She has always forgiven me, no matter what I have done. I was mistaken. I should have recognized her. She is in a lot of pain. She's not coming back."

"THAT BEING SAID, WHERE DO YOU THINK SHE CAN GO? SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE WORLD?" At this point, the woman grasped Sera's shoulder and yelled, tears streaming down her cheeks. She is sorry. Her heart has been broken as a result of one decision.

Lewis would have stopped if she hadn't stopped her. If only she'd told Olive about it. If only she hadn't given birth to a t......

"Sniff! Sniff! I should never have left my daughter in your care. She is in a terrible predicament, and I am not there to help her. I should never have urged you to give her a second opportunity. It's entirely my fault. It's all due to me. Sniff, sniff, sniff!"

Olive's mother knelt down, wrapped her arms around her daughter's legs, and sobbed.

Olive was walking aimlessly along the street at the time. Her house was on the outskirts of a metropolis. The house, on the other hand, was quite huge. She had been strolling for ten minutes and had yet to reach the main metropolis.

Tap!

A figure loomed suddenly behind her. With her absent-mindedness, Olive didn't even notice the person. She only turned her head when the figure pushed her white hands over her head, saw a small girl standing behind her, and spoke.

"I can't believe that moron could comprehend other people's emotions so well. He was correct. You appear to have let go of all the fury that had been building up inside of you. Has your rage subsided?"

"If it was before, it could have happened. But that is no longer the case." Olive recognized the young lady standing behind her. She had done some research on the girl. After all, she was Mike's favorite girl, which these four girls are well aware of.

Flora, Jenny! She waited for Olive after hearing Mike's words.

Jenny wrapped her hand around her shoulder and murmured, 

"Let's go! Welcome to your new home!"

Olive's heart shook for a second when she heard those words. She immediately embraced Jenny and began crying on her shoulder. Home, indeed! It's a safe haven. However, it does not always have to be a location where your parents reside.

It could be your uncle's house or a room that you have rented. We adore our parents, and they adore us in return. This, however, does not apply to everyone. Olive was left out. She left a tough existence because her father disregarded her.

Even after gaining her father's attention, she continued to lead a hard life. And now, even the one she cared the most was playing with her. Even if it was done for her benefit, it hurts, and it hurts so much that she can't forgive her sister this time.

And only one person could sense her presence. Even though he wasn't present, it felt fantastic to hear her addressed as his family. Jenny patted her shoulder and looked up into the sky, thinking,

'Mike, you're getting closer to your objective. You've added another member to your family. And don't be concerned about her. She is shattered. So I will continue to help her till she can mend her own heart.'
