Chapter 517
Lydia was shocked. She didn’t know that Ethan had married a woman like that. Her flight was late onthe day of Ethan’s wedding. She saw on the news that Ethan had eloped with another woman, butOlivia’s picture wasn’t provided.
She thought it was too much of a coincidence. Her expression was one of fascination. She was stillhung up on Olivia being her cousin-in-law.
Ethan looked at the crowd and said, “There’s nothing to see here.”
The crowd quickly dispersed after he said that. They didn’t even dare to take another peek.
The door was closed. Ethan wanted to settle this family dispute in private.
Lydia had been slapped twice, causing them to be red and swollen now. She still felt upset. “Ethan, areyou really married to this woman? What about Nikki? She has been waiting for you all along. She wasalready devastated when she heard you were marrying Marina. If…”
Nikki? That was another woman that Olivia hadn’t heard of. But she was no longer interested in Ethan’scolorful past.
Ethan cut Lydia off coldly and said, “I told you to apologize to Liv.”
Lydia had always been afraid of Ethan. But Ethan had always been good to his cousins, even thoughhe was cold by nature. However, he had slapped her for this woman’s sake.
She was upset, but she didn’t dare to anger Ethan anymore. She said, “I’m sorry, Olivia. I didn’t knowwho you were just now. I apologize.”

“I accept your apology, and you don’t have to think of me as your cousin-in-law. Tyler and I have beendivorced for a long time.”
Olivia proceeded to ignore Lydia. She went to the side of the window. The auction was starting.
Lydia’s eyes lit up. “Ethan, you two are divorced? It’s no wonder you never announced her to thepublic. I knew a woman like her wasn’t good enough for you. Nikki is the best woman for you…”
“Shut up. One more word and I’ll have you sent home.”
“Don’t do that, Ethan. I’m here to auction for something. I’ll shut up. Please don’t be angry.”
Ethan glared at her and said, “Stay put.”
“Okay.”
The woman was so arrogant before, but now, she was like a docile little kitten before Ethan.
Ethan went to sit next to Olivia. She turned her body to the side so that she wouldn’t see him. Ethanwas the one who began to feel uneasy. His relationship with Olivia was weird now. They used to be soclose, but they had become something like frenemies. They had drifted apart like strangers.

Olivia started to feel drowsy as the auction went on.
Ethan saw that she was tired, so he suggested, “You should lie down for a while. I’ll help you bid for theitems you want.”
“No need,” Olivia said coldly.
Lydia slammed her hand on the table and stood up. “Why are you being so difficult? Ethan is talking toyou so humbly. You should watch your attitude.”,
“Shut up!”
“Ethan, this woman is too domineering. She’s nothing compared to Nikki. You’re already divorced. Youdon’t need to stand up for her. We don’t even know whose baby she’s carrying.
