Chapter 320

• "Elisa, my mother, she never intended to cause you or your mother any harm," Olivia spoke softly, her innocent demeanor winning over many present.
• "You truly sicken me! So, your mother didn't aim to dismantle other families, she merely sought to join them, is that it? She showed up at our doorstep, and Suelen presented my mother with this ultimatum: if she didn't divorce, she'd be worthless to you!" Elisa's voice quivered with intensity as she addressed Olivia. "It's that my mother underestimated just how shameless you both are! Jorge Barson, you were so terrified that the scandal of a divorce would tarnish your reputation and jeopardize your career that you did everything in your power to avoid it. You even resorted to using me as a pawn to manipulate my mother into leaving home! Did you genuinely want to raise me, Jorge Barson? My mother gave up battling you for material possessions! You have no idea—my mother is so repulsed by you that she never once contemplated taking a cent from you!"
• "No, sister, Daddy genuinely wanted to raise you and fight for your custody!" Olivia persisted, still arguing with Elisa. Before she could continue, John slammed his hand on the table, startling Olivia into silence.
