Chapter 170
Kimberly also had a headache when it came to Christopher.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was the children’s father, she would never let him stay within ten feet of
her.
Thinking of the contract she signed, Kimberly felt her temple throbbing.
But on second thought, it was a temporary measure.
Christopher was so despicable that he took the three little cuties away without telling her.
At that time, she did that to defend herself.
Kimberly told herself inwardly, ‘Yes, that’s self-defense.’
For a moment, Kimberly felt herself in a daze.
She felt that her shameless and cun ning appearance was somewhat similar to Christopher’s.
After talking to Olivia, Kimberly had an epiphany and felt much better.
Kimberly hadn’t seen Vincent for a while, so she took the opportunity to ask.
As she spoke of Vincent, Olivia’s expression almost twisted into a ball.
The things that happened recently were so sudden, complicated, and shocking.
She hadn’t had a chance to tell Kimberly yet.
They were best friends, and Vincent was Kimberly’s brother. There was no need to hide from her.
After listening to Olivia’s explanation for about 15 minutes, Kimberly was dumbfounded.
“Jaxon and Vincent are half-brothers?” Kimberly was choked by a mouthful of coffee.
At the thought of Jaxon returning to the Sullivan family, Kimberly hugged Olivia and comforted her, “It’s
really hard for you.”
If Olivia married Vincent in the future, she would constantly meet Jaxon.
Jaxon was obsessed and would never give up on Olivia.
Kimberly was really worried about Olivia’s married life.
“How is Vincent?” Kimberly knew what that matter meant to Vincent.
Worries could be noticed in Olivia’s eyes as she shook her head. “He is not very good.”
Over the years, Kimberly had seen countless people. She could feel that Jaxon was completely
different from Vincent.
Although they shared the same blood, their style of dealing with people and things was different.
Vincent was optimistic and kind-hearted. When he did things, he would always leave some room for
discussion.
On the contrary, Jaxon was cold and indifferent. He always did things with decisiveness and resolve.
Kimberly witnessed Olivia’s heartbreak during university.
However, she felt lucky for Olivia at the time.
In comparison, Jaxon was definitely not a person worth entrusting.
He was malicious and cu nning. If Olivia were with him, she wouldn’t be happy.
Olivia said with relief, “Fortunately, his mother’s condition has improved. Well-known experts will come
to see her in two weeks.”
Kimberly didn’t know much about Delilah’s condition.
He wouldn’t say much, so she didn’t ask.
Kimberly looked confused. “Why didn’t he ask Edward for help with his mother?”
Kimberly’s second brother, Edward Xenos, was a top medical expert.
Olivia shook her head. She had just known about it also.
Now that they knew her condition had turned around, they needed to compete with time.
As time went by, every moment had a different change.
Kimberly held Olivia’s hand tightly, signaling her not to worry too much.
Although things felt like they were at one’s wits’ end, it might be a light at the end of the

tunnel.
Kimberly called Edward right away, wanting to see if he could arrange for the neurosurgeon to go to
Dellmoor and operate on Vincent’s mother as soon as possible.
When he got the news, Edward, on the other end of the phone, was stunned. ‘Why didn’t Vincent talk
to us when facing trouble?’ he thought.
Kimberly was insightful, as she knew Vincent didn’t want to take care of matters publicly.
His mother’s illness hadn’t improved for many years.
Also, he did not want to cause trouble for those who loved him.
Good things always needed to take a long time.
Kimberly patiently enlightened Olivia for the fear that she would hide herself again like an ostrich when
she had the heartbreak last time.
It was hard for Olivia to finally pluck up her courage and opened her heart.
Her relationship was like fighting a monster. She fought hard and passed the level, yet it came to a
more challenging one.
However, Kimberly didn’t worry. She believed that Olivia would find her happiness after all the hardship.

Kiara left the online restaurant, took a taxi, and went for a stroll near the children’s
school.
The children usually finished school at about four o’clock in the afternoon.
She came early with an ulterior motive, trying to check the situation first.
She had a picture of Kimberly and three kids on the phone.
In the photo, Kimberly smiled brightly while the three children were innocent and
cute.
She stroked the faces of the children in the photos and thought, “They have inherited their parents’
good genes.’
Especially the boys, who resembled Christopher’s handsome face.
John picked up the kids from school today.

Kiara stood in a quiet place in the distance, took out her binoculars, and had her eyes locked on the
three children who had just left the kindergarten.
They were dressed in standard uniforms, full of energy and vitality, looking like graceful young
gentlemen and ladies.
Kiara was there to check on the situation.
To put it bluntly, she didn’t have any special tricks. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
She was just an actress who had been a peasant for several years.
However, one should never underestimate a person whose heart was filled with hatred.

Ivy wasn’t particularly at ease with Kiara.
She had got eyes on Kiara.
But so far, she was satisfied with Kiara’s well behaved.
She
got off work early and went to the mall. Lilian invited her to have a meal in the Levine manor.
When she reached the place, Lilian saw her carrying a pile of things and complained, “Ivy, I only asked
you to come. Why did you spend so much money buying so many things? Sure enough, it’s better to
have a daughter. The daughter is a sweetheart and always cares about one’s feelings. Look at
Christopher. If he’s half as sweet as you. I’ll laugh out loud in my dreams.”
Heather was away also, going to Xemrich with her best friend.
It was no wonder Lilian felt lonely.
Usually, with Heather around, there were still laughers.
Now that Heather suddenly went traveling, Lilian was not used to it.
Being praised by Lilian, Ivy hurriedly said, “Mrs. Levine, please don’t say so.
Christopher is busy with his career. Unlike me, I’m free.”
What Ivy said went to Lilian’s heart. Although she complained about her grandson, she still cared about
him.
She laughed. “You’re so good at talking. You always say something nice for him.”
Then, Lilian was touched by the scene. “It’s such a big house. There’s only the two of us.
O
It’s quiet and desolate.”
Seeing that, Ivy deliberately said, “One day, Christopher will bring Katherine and the kids back. You’ll
have good times together.”
When Ivy said that, her face was full of smiles, but she was actually screaming inwardly.
Seeing that Ivy was so understanding and reasonable, Lilian felt the girl must have let go of her
obsession with Christopher.
Lilian sighed inwardly. ‘She is such a sensible girl. It’d be wonderful if she could be my granddaughter. I
just don’t know if she would agree!’
