Chapter 91

In the morning, Olivia heard a car pulling up in front of the house, butshe hesitated to go downstairs. She knew exactly who had returnedhome.

After a while, she finally mustered the courage to get out of bed. Shecautiously opened her bedroom door and spotted Tyler walking into theliving room.

The maid had been in a state of panic since morning, well aware of thegravity of the situation. She rushed to Tyler immediately and beganapologizing, “I'm so sorry, Mr. Tyler. It's my fault. I asked Ms. Olivia todeliver the soup to Ms. Naomi, and I was busy..."

Tyler halted in his tracks and cast a chilling gaze at the maid. It was asingle, icy look that sent shivers down her spine. “If something like thishappens again, you'll be fired.”

Olivia had always thought he was a gentle person, but she was wrong.It was her first time seeing him talk to someone like that.

The old maid didn't dare to say another word and nodded fervently. “I'msorry, Mr. Tyler. I'll be more careful next time.”

Without another word, he turned away and continued towards the livingroom. The maid, however, couldn't help but ask, “And what about the...cat, Mr. Tyler?”

Upstairs, Olivia held her breath upon hearing the question. Shebecame tense, waiting for his

response.

Tyler stopped once more and replied coldly, “Get rid of it.”

Olivia's tense body relaxed at that moment. The moment she had beendreading had arrived. His words were like a cold arrow piercing herheart.

“Sure, Mr. Tyler. I'll get rid of it right away,” the maid said. She turned onher heel and headed to the backyard to deal with the cat.

Olivia hurriedly descended the stairs and coincidentally stopped in frontof Tyler and the did.

Tyler was taken aback by her presence, as he hadn't expected to seeher at that moment.

Olivia knew she had nearly caused Naomi's life-threatening situation.She also understood that the cat's presence had played a role in theincident. But it felt cruel to dispose of the cat in such a manner.

She stood before them, torn between pleading for the cat's life orsuggesting that it be given to someone else. However, she couldn'tbring herself to voice her thoughts. She considered herself to be theguilty party, and even thinking of such things made her feel like aterrible person.

She stood silently before him for a long while and, instead of discussingthe cat, she inquired, “Tyler, how is Naomi?”

Having just arrived home, Tyler appeared exhausted. He replied flatlyto her question, “She's stable

A surge of relief washed over her, though the concern she had beensuppressing seemed to drain her energy completely. “That's good tohear.”

The maid observed the two of them and, not receiving any contraryorders, proceeded to the backyard to deal with the cat.

Tyler, without any comment about Olivia's behavior, walked past herand ascended the stairs to his

room.

Olivia stood still. She felt the urge to cry, but it was as if something wasstuck in her throat, preventing her from shedding tears.

After he had gone upstairs, she heard a faint meowing.

Shortly afterward, the maid returned from the backyard, the catnowhere in sight.

During lunch, Olivia did not come downstairs. She didn't respond to themaid's calls, no matter how many times she knocked on her door.

In the evening, when the maid knocked on her door again, Oliviaremained unresponsive. Suspecting something was amiss, the maidmade her way to Tyler's room. A short while later, the previously lockeddoor to Olivia's room was opened.

Tyler stood at the doorway, and the maid stood behind him, worried.Olivia sat motionless on her bed, uttering not a word. Silenceenveloped her room.

Tyler never said anything about her behavior, instead saying, “Bringfood here,” to the maid.
