Chapter 13 The next morning , Brandon was getting ready to drive out and look for Evelyn , hoping she might be in one of the places she used to go when upset . Before he left , he simply said to Vanessa , " Take good care of my mother . " Vanessa gave him a sweet , obedient nod . " Brandon , are you ... going to look for Evelyn ? " He paused for a beat , but didn't respond . The moment Brandon's car disappeared beyond the gates , Vanessa's sweet expression melted away . She kicked off her slippers and walked barefoot across the marble floor , calling out toward the kitchen , " Maria ! Get me an iced Americano , now ! " The wheels of Mrs. Caldwell's chair creaked as she emerged from the study . " Vanessa , time for rehab , " she called out from her study , her tone brisk but even . Vanessa rolled her eyes and walked over slowly . " Didn't Brandon say the doctors confirmed you could walk again ? " " They said I need to reinforce the recovery , " Olivia frowned , staring at her . "Go bring me the medicine . " The air was thick with the bitter scent of herbal tonic . Vanessa pinched her nose , retrieved the bowl from the kitchen , and brought it out . But as soon as Olivia took a sip , she spat it back out onto the floor . " It's scalding hot ! Evelyn never- " " I'm not Evelyn , okay ? Stop comparing us ! " Vanessa snapped , slamming the bowl down . The dark brown liquid splattered across the hem of her silk dress . She shrieked , " This dress is a brand - new silk dress ! Are you blind ? " Olivia stared at the stain , dazed . Evelyn would've immediately knelt down , cleaned it without flinching , and even prepared candied ginger to mask the bitterness of the medicine . She always knew the exact temperature to serve it . " Olivia ? Earth to you ? " Vanessa waved a tissue around , dabbing at her skirt without care . " Aren't we doing rehab ? " In the rehab room , Olivia struggled along the parallel bars , her steps shaky and effortful . Vanessa sat to the side scrolling on her phone , barely glancing up . " You got this , Olivia .

With a pout , Vanessa finally rose and shuffled over . The moment Olivia's hand touched her shoulder , she let out a dramatic squeal . " Your nails dug into me ! " " Stop being so fragile , " Olivia snapped . " Evelyn " Oh my God ! Evelyn , again ? " Vanessa's voice suddenly rose , sharp and cold , " If she was so perfect , why didn't you make her stay ? " The words hit like a slap . Olivia was stunned into silence , She stared at Vanessa's annoyed expression , and for a second , Evelyn's quiet , calm face flashed in her mind . That girl never talked back , never complained no matter how much Olivia lashed out . " Let's go up to the rooftop terrace , " Olivia said after a long pause . Maybe Vanessa was just still adjusting . She wasn't like Evelyn , but she could learn . " The doctor said stairs are important for building muscle . " Vanessa's eyes went wide , " Ten stories ? " " You're the one who insisted on taking care of me , " Olivia said , the smile fading from her lips . " Brandon heard you , remember ? " Vanessa muttered a reluctant " fine , " and helped her down the stairs , one painful step at a time . Sweat clung to her bangs . When they reached the seventh floor landing , Olivia's foot suddenly slipped . She pitched forward . Vanessa's hand instinctively reached out - but then , in a split - second shift , shoved hard against Olivia's back . " Ahhh- ! " Olivia tumbled down the staircase , landing with a sickening thud . She struggled to lift her head from the cold marble step , " V - Vanessa ... why did you push me ? " Vanessa descended the steps slowly , expression eerily calm , as if nothing had happened . " Old woman , do you really think I enjoy serving you ? " Her tone turned cold , mocking . " Now that Evelyn's out of the picture , Brandon only needs one woman by his side . " Olivia's eyes widened in disbelief . This couldn't be the sweet , thoughtful Vanessa she had once trusted . She watched in horror as Vanessa pulled out her phone blinked twice , and summoned tears on cue Chapter 13 50.00 % Her voice cracked with perfect timing :. " Brandon ? Olivia fell down the stairs ! I - I tried to catch her , I swear ... I'm so sorry ! " Rushed footsteps echoed from below . The last thing Olivia saw before the world faded was Vanessa's shadowy smirk , victorious and venomous . And just before darkness swallowed her , a soft voice echoed faintly in her mind : " Would you like some water ... Mom ? " It was Evelyn . Always Evelyn .
