Chapter 18
The manager explained with a smile, “That’s because our boss applied a multiplier voucher for this young lady. The amount was tripled, so it became five million dollars. There was no miscalculation. She can accept the five million without returning a cent.”
Everyone was speechless, thinking, ‘A multiplier voucher? What is this, some kind of shopping app promo?‘
No matter how much the others tried to object, the money ended up in Olivia’s hands with every last cent of it.
The manager, having completed his task, walked away cheerfully.
After holding it in all day, Chloe finally broke down. She burst into tears and threw herself into Dylan’s arms. Even though she hadn’t lost anything, she couldn’t stand Olivia getting such big prizes.
Chloe’s friends immediately turned on Olivia with righteous glares.
Someone said, “Olivia, that was too much. Why would you humiliate Chloe? She’s never blamed you for stealing her husband. She’s tried to be civil with you, and you just had to be petty and make her look bad in public?”
Another added, “Chloe’s such a kind person, and you still go after her. You’re seriously vicious.”
Someone else snapped, “Vile wretches like you always get what’s coming to them.”
Olivia snorted, “I get that all of you loyal lapdogs are desperate to protect your queen, but this is a civilized society. Everything requires evidence. Barking louder doesn’t make you right.”
Kaitlyn turned red with rage, but she knew shouting back at Olivia wouldn’t get her anywhere.
She turned to Dylan and said angrily, “Mr. Wilson, can’t you see how Olivia made Chloe cry and is still acting so smug about it? You have to stand up for Chloe, or Olivia’s just going to keep bullying her even worse.”
Chloe didn’t say anything, but the way she cried in Dylan’s arms made her look even more aggrieved.
Dylan immediately turned to Olivia with a stern expression. “Apologize to Chloe. Right now,” he ordered.
Olivia chuckled, clearly amused, “We’ve been together all day. I haven’t done a single thing to her. Why should I apologize?”
Dylan said firmly, “Even if you didn’t do anything, she cried because of you. That means you should apologize.”
He thought, This whole trip was supposed to cheer Chloe up, but Olivia made her feel even worse. That’s on her.
Olivia shot back, “She’s crying because she’s petty and jealous that I won these prizes. She can’t stand seeing me benefit from anything, so she got mad and cried. That’s her problem, not mine.
“Are you retarded, or did the Wilson family’s upbringing go wrong? What kind of idiot forces someone who did nothing wrong to apologize to someone that narrow–minded?”
Dylan’s expression darkened.
Olivia continued, “Fine, I’ll apologize. Let’s start a livestream and tell everyone that Chloe got jealous because I won some prizes, tried to get it revoked, failed, and I ended up getting it. So she cried out of anger.
“It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have won and triggered the jealousy of the kind, selfless Ms. Lane. I sincerely apologize and beg her not to be jealous of me. How’s that?*
The moment she finished, everyone’s face dropped.
Chloe’s face flushed with rage, as if she’d just been stripped bare in front of a crowd–completely humiliated.
“Darling, she’s slandering me. I’m jealous of her at all,” Chloe grumbled with a wronged look.
But after everything Olivia said, Dylan no longer had the nerve to keep forcing her to apologize. He also realized that making her apologize had been unreasonable to begin with.
Kaitlyn, ever loyal to her queen, immediately jumped out and snapped, “You bitch, stop slandering Chloe, Chloe is practically Mr. Wilson’s wife. Mr. Wilson will give her however much money she wants. Why would she ever be jealous of your lousy little prizes?
“You better apologize to Chloe right now. Otherwise, once she marries Mr. Wilson, you’re going to be screwed.”
But then Olivia just slapped Kaitlyn right across the face.
“You hit me? How dare you hit me?” Kaitlyn was about to lose her mind, her eyes bloodshot with rage.

Olivia calmly stretched her fingers. “The title of ‘Mr. Wilson’s wife is that powerful? Then I guess I’ll make use of it.”
She looked up at Dylan. “Mr. Wilson, Kaitlyn has yelled at me and insulted me more than once. As your wife, do I have the right to ask you to terminate all business with Dixon Group?”
Before Dylan could say a word, Chloe couldn’t help but mock her, “Kaitlyn’s my friend. As long as I’m here, Dylan won’t harm the Dixon family. In fact, I’ll have him deepen the partnership.”
Kaitlyn burst into exaggerated laughter. “What a joke. So what if you’re Mr. Wilson’s wife? He doesn’t even love you. You’re just Mrs. Wilson in name only.”
Dylan said coolly, “Business partnerships involve a lot of people. It’s not something that can be canceled on a whim.
