It felt like Kayla's gaze could kill...
Olivia's heart skipped a beat. Although she knew Kayla was sweet on the outside but ruthless on the inside, she was still frightened by the viciousness in Kayla's eyes.
Could she really be serious about killing someone?
Olivia kept her distance, realizing that her previous words may have been too much. Although Arnold had stopped her, he never actually said anything about not letting anyone lay a finger on Felicia. She had exaggerated to provoke Kayla.
She swallowed nervously and decided to try to smooth things over, saying, "Kayla, don't be too upset. Anyway, Mr. Lawson still cares about you. You two are childhood sweethearts, destined to be together. How could Felicia, who's only known him briefly, compete with you?"
But she didn't know that these words had different meanings for Kayla.
Felicia had only appeared recently, yet she had made Arnold obsessed with her. Matthew's strong stance that Felicia must marry Arlond made it clear that his heart was wavering.
Sooner or later, he would fall for her. When that time came, Kayla would be the laughingstock of the whole city!
She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the murderous rage inside her. She had to be thankful for one thing—Matthew's insistence that Arnold marry Felicia. His stubborn nature meant the more he was forced, the more he would resist.
No one understood him better than she did. His personality was complicated—even if he had feelings for Felicia, he would never admit it.
There was still hope. There was still time...
Kayla kept reassuring herself. When she looked up, she noticed Olivia had moved a few steps back, keeping a safe distance from her. Her face still held a look of shock and fear.
