The Beginning Of All Sins novel (Olivia and Tyler)
Chapter 430

The news was huge, but Claude never showed his face in public. Even the Pearces couldn't track him down.

The next morning, Sophie called Olivia to see if Claude had reached out to her. Olivia stood silent for a while before she finally spoke, "No."

She hadn't heard from him-no calls, no texts. She realized that even if he had tried to contact her, she probably wouldn't have answered. Sophie said anxiously, "Olivia, please let us know if he contacts you. We're all trying to find him."

Olivia didn't make any promises, but Sophie didn't need her to. Sophie felt better just saying what she needed to, and then she hung up.

Olivia held her phone, feeling utterly alone, wondering if the rumors about him were true...

Just then, her door opened. She hadn't slept at all since the news broke.

Now that Olivia was closer to Alisa, the maid could tell something was wrong. Alisa came over and said, "Don't worry about that. We don't talk about Ms. Morgan's incident here."

Olivia clenched her fist and asked, "Isn't the family going to do anything?"

Alisa replied without thinking, "Why should they?" Immediately realizing her mistake, she covered her mouth.

Olivia felt something was wrong and just looked at her.

Alisa knew she couldn't dodge the question, so she glanced at the door to make sure they were alone and then whispered, "When Ms. Morgan jumped, Harris Group's stock tanked. And the autopsy showed she'd been badly abused before her death. It was humiliating, and now nobody outside the family is supposed to know. They loved their daughter but were ashamed of what she did, so they hate her for it." The words 'hate' and 'ashamed' hit Olivia hard. She never expected Alisa to say that.

But it made sense to Olivia, piecing together the small things she'd noticed.

Alisa continued, "That someone like her, pampered by her family, would end her life over a man would be a joke. That's why no one is allowed to mention her name here." Olivia collapsed onto the couch, overwhelmed by the darkness of the situation. After Morgan's death, the family seemed to care more about their reputation than mourning her. Olivia didn't know whether to pity Morgan or despise her family's cruelty. She touched her belly unconsciously.

Seeing Olivia's reaction, Alisa added softly, "Just remember, nothing is more important to the Harrises than pride, and this scandal was more than just a family issue-it involved a man. It's really a mess..."
