At that moment , Olivia asked if Natasha still remembered Emilia . 20 vouchers What came to Natasha's mind first was the last look before her death - a glance that , for a brief second , almost felt like the smile in the painting . Olivia's sharp fingernail traced lightly across Natasha's stiff cheek without leaving a mark . She said coldly , " Why are you still alive ? The Clark family only needs one daughter . Back when you weren't around , everything was just fine . " Olivia's voice was low , like a release of resentment , yet also like a vow . She said , " Natasha , anyone in this world can live well - except you ." Downstairs , the two had gone too long to get the gift , and the Clarks kept glancing toward the staircase . Madeline looked hesitant , asking , " Natasha has a bad temper . You don't think they're fighting , do you ? " Andrew stayed seated , fairly composed . " Not today . She won't make a scene . Relax ." The most impatient one , Noel , spoke with annoyance . " I'll go check . " He was about to head upstairs . Thomas stopped him . " If something really is going on , you'll only make it worse . I'll go . " Letting those two firecrackers be in the same room was risky enough - Thomas feared they'd blow the roof off . Neither of them was ever any trouble - free . By the time Thomas reached the second floor , he heard Olivia's urgent , pained voice coming from a room . " Please ! Don't ! " Then came the sound of something hitting the floor . Thomas froze for a second before quickly rushing toward the noise . The others downstairs heard it too and hurried after him . Inside the room , Thomas opened the door to see Natasha standing across from Olivia . On the floor lay a dagger - a army knife encrusted with small diamonds that Thomas had once given Natasha . Back then, Natasha had been especially into fighting and self - defense , After the whole kidnapping mix - up , Thomas , though often annoyed with her , still thought it was a good idea for a girl to have some way to protect herself . 1/4 4:32 pm PR Chapter 30 20 voucher Even if she hurt someone , the Clarks could handle it . Better the other person got hurt than Natasha . So on her birthday - though they didn't celebrate - Thomas had secretly given her that knife . Natasha had been genuinely thrilled , treasuring it ever since and never letting anyone touch it . Now it was on the floor . Across from her , Olivia clutched a painting with a slash through it , tears filling her red eyes . Without thinking , Thomas strode over , stepping across the knife , and steadied the tilting painting for Olivia . " Natasha ! What the hell are you doing ? " By now , the rest of the family had arrived , all staring at the scene in confusion . Usually soft - spoken , Olivia raised her voice for once , clearly heartbroken . " Natasha ! I know you hate that Mom and Dad gave Grandma's house to me . But if you wanted it , I could have given it to you . " You burned it down without saying a word . If you have a problem , take it out on me - why destroy my mom's painting ? She was so good to you when she was alive . Can't you show her even a little respect now that she's gone ? " The evidence was right there , and Olivia's sobs made her sound even more convincing . Anyone would think Natasha had done it on purpose for revenge . Damaging a deceased person's portrait - this time even Madeline couldn't hold back . She hit Natasha , eyes red . " Apologize to your sister . " Natasha's lashes lowered . " I didn't do it . " Standing behind her to block any escape , Noel scoffed . " If it wasn't you , then who ? You two were the only ones in here ." Noel went on , still indignant . " Do you know how much effort Olivia put into that painting ? She started with nothing , learning from scratch , ruining draft after draft . So many times I'd come out for a drink while gaming late at night and see her light still on , painting . ' Aunt Emilia loved beautiful portraits . This was what she planned to bring for her today . You've already caused her death , and now you're picking on her daughter ." Madeline clutched her chest , raising her voice . " Apologize ! " Back when Natasha was little , Emilia had doted on her even more than on Olivia . ' How could I face her in the afterlife now ? ' Madeline thought , owing Emilia too much . Meanwhile , Andrew and Thomas both looked at Natasha with the same unspoken judgment . 2/4 4:32 pm D PSS Chapter 30 20 vouchers With no cameras in the room , of course they would trust the sweet , obedient older daughter they'd lived with for years . Natasha pressed her lips together . Olivia , no matter what arguments they had , had always been careful when it came to her mother . So Natasha had never expected she'd ruin her own mother's portrait just to frame her . That was why , when Olivia said she was going to get something to give to Emilia , Natasha hadn't thought recording anything . There was no proof . Even if there were , maybe it wouldn't matter . The Clark family stood around her , just like the day she woke up and they coldly told her they'd be taking Olivia in as her real sister from now on . She had to give in to Olivia , respect her - because she owed her . Emilia's death was the shackle , built just for Natasha . Natasha didn't feel heartache , but her eyes still brimmed with the involuntary sting of tears - so faint no one would notice unless they looked closely . She held her back straight , silent . Because of this , the atmosphere during this year's visit to Emilia's grave was even heavier than usual . By the time they arrived at the cemetery , a light drizzle had started , with the rain growing heavier . They stood under umbrellas before Emilia's gravestone . Olivia placed a bouquet of her mother's favorite lilies on the grave . The painting wasn't with her - Olivia said it was no longer perfect , and her mother wouldn't like it . Next year , she would paint a new one for her . Olivia even comforted the family , saying that by then her skills would be better , and maybe her mom would be even happier . Her words only made the Clarks feel more guilty and even less patient with Natasha . " Apologize , Andrew said coldly once the service ended , his eyes on the silent Natasha . This was the woman who had died because of her Looking at the rain - washed photo of the gravestone , Natasha didn't resist this time . She dropped to her knees in front of the grave and said sorry to Emilia 3/4 4:32 pm DPS S Chapter 30 Soon , her knees hit the wet ground , the chill quickly soaking through . 20 vouchers Andrew continued , " We're not asking you to worship your savior's daughter , but you can't be ungrateful . Think about everything you've done all these years . " You don't even have the courage to admit your mistakes . Can you face your aunt like this ? Today , you'll repent to her right here . " The family's accusations fell on her one after another . And the rain grew heavier , wind driving it into her face , the umbrellas doing little to help . It was so cold that Natasha felt like she had never left the storm of that day when she was six . Olivia eventually persuaded the family to head back to the car . The two of them stayed - one kneeling , one standing - before Emilia's grave . After a long silence , Olivia finally spoke . " You know , when I was little , I actually envied you . "
