Revenge On My First Love novel Chapter 238

"It was your fault at the beginning. Now you can't change it. Besides, look at all the things Olivia has done for the family and the company over the years, could an ordinary woman do that? And now you are abandoning her for Emma? I will never allow it!"

"Dad!"

"This family can work well without you, but not without Olivia. I've made up my mind."

Baron wanted to say something, but the Old Riley waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to hear it.

Baron was helpless. Why? Why couldn't he divorce Olivia?

He decided he had to talk to the Old Riley.

In the Old Riley's room, Baron said, "Dad, there's something I have to tell you."

The Old Riley waved his hand again. "I know what you want to say, but I think you'd better not say it."

"Why not? Dad, Olivia has been around you for so many years. I don't believe you don't realize that she is trying to get the Riley family under her control."

"And what's wrong with that? She gave birth to Roman. Shouldn't she have a share of the Riley family?

"Dad, that's not what I mean!"

"I know what you mean. But save it. In short, you can't divorce Olivia!"

The Old Riley's attitude was firm. He turned his head and didn't want to speak with Baron anymore.

Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Baron sighed and left.

Olivia smiled proudly. The Old Riley had long been under her control. Baron couldn't divorce her smoothly.

Even if they were to divorce, she must be the one to take the initiative, and she must have the entire Riley family.

With Sophia around them, the atmosphere between Emma and Aria became less awkward.

Although they had gotten along at home for a while, they still felt weird hanging out together.

Aria had to admit that Emma had good taste. The clothes that Emma picked for her all looked very nice.

At the counter, however, Aria didn't want Emma to pay. She thought that she was an adult, and she was not used to having Emma buy stuff for her.

Obviously, Emma was sad when Aria insisted that she shouldn't pay. Sophia spoke at this time, "Aria, just let Ms. Glass pay the bill for you."

"I..."

Aria wanted to say something. Sophia pushed Emma. "Ms. Glass, do it!"

Emma knew what she meant. Sophia looked at Aria. "Aria, tell me honestly. After staying with Ms. Glass all this time. How do you feel about her?"

"She is a wonderful woman. Sometimes I wonder if she is my real mother. Why is she so good while I'm so..."

"Don't doubt yourself. You are also wonderful. It's just because you've been living with Olivia. You are affected by her!"

Hearing Olivia's name, Aria only wished she had beaten her harder just now.

"We can't judge the past. But I am sure about one thing. Ms. Glass really loves you."

"Aria, you're not a little girl anymore. You have to understand things even if I don't say them. So, I hope you can think carefully. If you think that Ms. Glass is a nice person, that means you have accepted her deep inside. So just be brave."

"You have missed each other for so many years. Don't waste your time anymore, okay?"

Aria was enlightened by Sophia's words.

Yes, they had missed each other for so many years. Why should they waste more time now?

Aria's phone rang. Seeing it was Baron's call, she wanted to hang up. But Sophia took the phone.

"I guess he wants to talk to me."

Aria looked at Sophia in surprise as she answered the call.

"Mr. Riley, it's Sophia. Are you calling for me?"

"Yes, Sophia, I'm calling for you. I wanted to call you but I don't have your phone number. And I thought you might be with Aria now, I was worried that she wouldn't answer, so I ..."

"Okay, I got you. So, what's the matter?"

"Olivia disagrees to divorce me, and also, my father doesn't allow me to divorce. Sophia, you are smart, tell me, what should I do?"

Sophia was not surprised. She smiled and said, "Actually, Mr. Riley, I knew this would happen long ago."

"What?" Baron was confused, "Sophia, what do you mean by that? If you knew that, why did you ask me to do so?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Riley. I asked you to do so because I want you to have a clear understanding of your current situation. Olivia has been in the Riley family for 20 years. You can't make her leave easily."

"She wants to control over the Riley family. Do you think she would agree to leave? Over the past 20 years, she had spent much longer time with the Old Riley than you."

"Even if you are the Old Riley's son. He won't approve of your behavior. He has reasons to stand with Olivia!"

Baron panicked even more. "Then, what should I do?"

"Now all you have to do is endure."

"Endure?" Baron was confused by this statement. "Do you mean I shouldn't divorce her for now?"

"Yup!"

"No way. If I don't divorce her, I can't face her. I can't do it. This is impossible!"

Sophia said patiently, "Mr. Riley, think about it, what would the public say about you if you divorce her now? They will say that you don't care about your family these years. You betrayed Emma for Olivia back then, and now you treat Olivia like this. People would call you a jerk!"

"I..."

Baron had never thought of the consequences.

"You must endure until you find her mistake. And by that time, you'll have the reason to kick her out of the Riley family. At least the public would think it was her fault, not yours. Do you get what I mean?"

Baron seemed to get it. "Sophia, what should I do?"

"Don't mention the divorce for the time being. Act like you've given up the idea and want to start over with her. But Olivia is a smart woman, so you must be a good actor."

"Is there no other way?"

"Yes, there is, which is to avoid her just like what you did before. But it also means public opinion will be against you if you divorce Olivia."
