My impression of Oliver had always been positive; he was a cultured, stable, but somewhat haughty man.
After all, he was widely recognized as the big shot of Foswood. Who would dare oppose him? You couldn’t underestimate him. He would do anything.
But I didn’t think his family would be like this.
I was perplexed by the woman he had been seen with before I had gotten to know Lauren. But that was his own business, especially for someone like Oliver, who was relatively low-key.
Ivanna continued, "But Oliver still took care of her silently and yielded to her. Oliver feared she would influence the child, so he sent him to boarding school. His ex-wife felt bitter as a result. It was her idea that Oliver had to find a woman to replace her. If Oliver didn't do as she said, she would curse him every day, saying that Oliver was a hypocrite and a villain..."
"How could that happen?" I couldn't believe someone like that existed. "Why would he do that?" I was puzzled.
"Don't you understand?"
