Ch. 501..510

Chapter 501 Once they agreed on what they wanted to do, Lily happily prepared for their wedding. Alexander even forgot all about the document he wanted to read.

However, everyone knew the president of La Beauté Group had a girlfriend.

There were even rumors of how she was his fiancee. However, the pictures the reporters posted were blurry.

In addition, since the reporters secretly took the pictures, Alexander happened to be standing in such a manner that he almost blocked the woman entirely.

One could only vaguely see half of the woman‘s face, which sent the internet into chaos in guessing who the woman was.

 

Once Brittany finished filming her scene, her assistant handed her an envelope.

“Someone sent this.” Brittany glanced at the words on the envelope and seemed to understand something. “Okay. I still have something to do today, so you don‘t have to worry about me. You can leave first. I‘ll go back later.” Hearing this, the assistant nodded. “Okay.” Then, she packed up her things and left. The envelope contained the information she wanted from a private detective she had hired.

Although the photos in the newspapers and magazines were vague and blurry, she had a way of finding things out.

Brittany had long been pondering this after meeting with Arianna the other day.

She felt that what Arianna said was Chat 31 right. “You have to chase after your own happiness, and if you give up now, it would mean that all your past efforts were in vain.” All her youtlı spent, all her dreams and aspirations would come to nothing. Even though she did not know who her opponent was, she still could not give up just like this. Brittany believed she would not lose to another girl.

As she sat in her car, she hurriedly opened up the envelope. Inside were photos alongside a brief write–out. The first thing she looked at was, of course, the photos. There, she could see both the couple‘s side and front views.

However, Brittany slid her fingertips slowly across the woman‘s face, squirting.

There‘s nothing extraordinary about her! She looks like a girl next door! No one would pay attention to her in a crowd. Fine, even if she has a sweet smile, that‘s the only attractive thing about her!‘ Brittany stared at the photos for a moment as if she was trying to imprint the woman‘s face in her mind before she continued looking through the other documents.

The woman‘s life experiences, from where she went to school to where she worked–were written on the documents. There was also information on her family background. However, there was no information about when the woman met Alexander or when they started dating.

Despite that, it was problematic for the private investigator to find much else from the blurry photos published in newspapers and magazines.

With the documents and photos on her lap, Brittany sneered as flames rose in her heart, burning vigorously. Sure enough, the woman in the pictures was just what she expected–a nobody. That woman came from a typical, lower–class family and could easily be an extra in films due to her ordinary appearance. There was nothing special about her, yet, this woman robbed Brittany of the man she loved. Even Brandon told her to give up.

‘Are men always so blind?!‘ Then when Brittany looked at the address on the paper, she immediately recognized that it was a house under Alexander‘s name. ‘That woman lives there?! How shameless!‘ L To Brittany, these peasants only put up an innocent and pitiful front to climb the social ladder. Brittany was fuming as she planned to tear off this woman‘s mask to let Alexander know who was the best match for him.

Thinking of this, she threw everything onto the passenger seat, started the car, and drove toward the given address.

Chapter 502 Olivia sat by the window and looked downstairs. The confusion in her eyes matched the feeling in her heart. Seeing that Edward was out, she went downstairs to buy some necessities before returning to sit for a while.

Otherwise, he would definitely not allow her to do so.

Edward had been accompanying her these past few days, be it to arrange her mother‘s funeral, grocery shopping, or even when she went out to eat. Although he would not talk much, she was getting used to him following her everywhere like a shadow.

Although Olivia knew that he was doing this out of kindness, she had no means to take her own life in the first place.

 

Even though she was devastated about her mother‘s death and her tears would flow uncontrollably at the thought of it, what could she do? Life still had to go on!

At the moment, the fire was said to be an accident. Although government pensions and subsidies were being distributed, no amount of money could buy back her mother‘s life.

Olivia was even starting to loathe herself a little. Would this have happened if she had chosen another location to live instead of this one?

However, there was no chance for regret in this world. Lily advised her to look toward the future instead of the past. Although Olivia tried her best, it would still take a while before she felt okay.

After a long sigh of relief, she decided it was best to cancel the break. She had been off for a long while due to her depression. She also heard from Jenny that Lily had been incredibly busy. However, Olivia had never missed a call from Lily. Lily would tell Olivia to rest more and take good care of herself.

‘I should go back and help her,‘ she thought.

At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang, and Olivia turned her head to the door. ‘Did Edward not bring his key?‘ Then, she got up and walked over as the doorbell increasingly began to ring more urgently. ‘Why is he in such a rush? Is there an emergency?‘ Olivia quickened her pace toward the door and opened it.

“Who are you?” She stared at the woman standing outside the door in bewilderment. Olivia didn‘t recognize her at all.

“Do you not know who I am?” Brittany asked, thinking that Olivia must be faking it. Although Brittany was not a household name, she was still considered a famous actress.‘ How could she not know me? I‘m sure she‘s just pretending!‘ After shooting her a prideful look, Brittany swaggered past Olivia. She walked directly into the house with her head held high. Brittany was walking around as if this was her house.

“I‘m sorry, but I have no idea who you are. Please get out now.

It did not matter who she was. It was still rude for her to break into someone‘s house like this. Olivia was upset as she gestured toward the door, trying to drive Brittany out.

However, Brittany turned around and looked at her with a sneer. “Are you trying to drive me out of here? Is this your house? Do you think you own this house?” Now that Brittany had seen Olivia with her own eyes, her dissatisfaction grew.

‘How could such an ordinary–looking woman steal Alexander‘s heart away?!

How dare she live in his house? How dare she try to kick me out of here?! Who does she think she is?!

Olivia was stunned. ‘It seems like she knows I‘m only living here temporarily, and this isn‘t my house, but why is she so hostile? Who is this woman?‘

 

Chapter 503 “Who exactly are you?” Olivia asked.

Brittany smiled and walked straight to the sofa to sit. Then, she crossed her legs and raised her chin with an arrogant look. “You don‘t have to know who I am. I‘m just here to see wh at kind of vixen caught his attention. Now that I‘ve seen how you look...

it isn‘t much!” Brittany scanned Olivia from her head to her toes and made no effort to hide her look of disgust.

Oliva was stupefied. What was this woman talking about? The more she heard Brittan

y speak, the more confused Olivia became!

“To be honest, I‘ve seen many women like you. Although it‘s not wrong to want t he opportunity to marry into a wealthy family and change your destiny, I think yo u‘re too self– absorbed. Do you think that marrying him will change your life? Do you know wh at kind of family the Russells are? A woman like you has no place in that family!

Did you dream of becoming a rich man‘s wife and living happily ever after? In yo ur dreams!” Brittany spat mockingly.

Brittany‘s game plan was to intimidate Olivia. In Brittany‘s head, a woman from s uch an ordinary, small family would run away in fear after some intimidation. Sh e first planned to crush Olivia‘s dream of being the wife of a wealthy man. Then, she would offer some compensation and make Olivia understand the situation. It should be easy to make such a woman l eave.

However, Brittany had no idea that she was barking up the wrong tree.

It was true that Alexander was photographed with another woman. Still, there w as a problem with the angle from which the photo was taken. There were also a lot of bodyguards around them.

Although Lily was there, she stood behind while Alexander and Olivia stood side by side. From that angle, Lily, whose back was captured in the photo, was ignor ed. Instead, people focused on the woman next to Alexander, who happened to be Olivia.

This was all a big mistake, but none of the parties involved paid attention to it.

The rumors had already started to circulate. No one mentioned that the original photographs merely had hazy outlines. The only per son to look into this issue seriously was Brittany.

However, her focus was wrong from the very beginning. Even if she managed to find out the woman in the photo, Brittany was focusing on the wrong woman.

Olivia realized right away that Brittany had made a mistake.

It was obvious from Brittany‘s words. She was looking for the woman that was g oing to marry Alexander, and that woman was Lily!

Instead, Brittany found Olivia.

Olivia had no idea how Brittany could have made this mistake. Still, since that wa A smile crept onto Olivia‘s face as she thought about this. “You‘re right.

I do dream of being a rich man‘s wife, and guess what? I succeeded. What are y “You...!” Brittany did not expect Olivia to snap back at her like this. She thought th Seeing the smug look on Olivia‘s face, Brittany took a few deep breaths and deci Olivia almost couldn‘t keep her act together and burst out laughing!

This was something that happened in telenovelas. Olivia did not expect to witnes in–law of the male lead would do. When had the admirer of the male lead done such a thing?

 

Chapter 504 “Name my price...” Olivia seemed to be considering it before she c ontinued with a smile, “I‘ll need some time to think about it.” While she dragged on, she noticed that Brittany was growing impatient and said, “I haven‘t seen much of the world. What about this?

You name me a price, and I‘ll consider it.” 11 At this moment, a look of contempt flashed across Brittany‘s narrowed eyes.

‘I was right! She‘s in it for the money. I don‘t understand how Alexander could fal l for someone like this! He has seen so many pretty faces. I‘d be more convince

d if he married a daughter from a renowned family. How can I give up when this is the woman he‘s going to marry?!‘ “One million!” Brittany offered after thinking for a moment with pursed lips.

She felt that this price was enough to scare Olivia to death!

Olivia was a woman who rented and lived in a dilapidated house that caught fire because of electrical leaks. After working for so many years, she was only an assistant. How much money could she have seen in this life? A million dollars w as enough to last her whole life!

She was not someone worthy to be with Alexander. Brittany wanted to wake Oliv ia up from her daydream.

“A million?” Olivia widened her eyes and counted on her fingers. Although the gr eedy appearance made Brittany look at her in contempt, she was also relieved.

Before meeting Olivia, Brittany was a little nervous about what kind of person Oli via was. Brittany was afraid that it would not be easy to drive her out of Alexand er‘s life, but now that she saw her, it seemed like it would be a piece of cake.

“A million dollars is a lot of money.” Olivia sighed. Then, she looked at Brittany and said, “ However, I have no idea who you are. Why should I believe that you‘ll give me a million dollars? What does it matter to you whether I‘m with him or not?” “Amere million dollars is nothing to me.” After a pause, Brittany continued,” Although I can‘t say the same for you. This money can do a lot for you. What about this? You take th e million dollars and leave him. No, leave Sapphine and never come back! Don‘t show yourself in front of liim ever again!” Brittany got a check from her bag and was going to write it down as she said thi s. Olivia noticed Brittany‘s impatient look and guessed she must be one of Alexa nder‘s admirers. She must come from a wealthy family for her to casually offer a million dollars in the blink of an eye.

“But...” Olivia dragged on. She squinted at Brittany as she casually took her time Hearing this, Brittany looked up and suddenly felt nervous. “What do you mean, b “He‘s the La Beauté Group president and the Russell Family head. He told me th Olivia pretended to take out her phone as if she was really about to call Alexander.

“Wait!” Brittany hurriedly stopped her, fearing that Olivia had already dialed Alexa “Then, tell me. How much do you want?” Brittany asked patiently.

 

Chapter 505 As long as the price Olivia stated was within Brittany‘s capability, s he would agree and send Olivia away as soon as possible.

It would be even better if Brittany got Olivia to write a letter saying she was leaving. It would prove that Brittany did not force Olivia to do so, but it was her that got swayed by the money and left. This way, Alexander could see Olivia‘s true colors.

“How much do I want?” Olivia frowned. She pretended like she was in a dilemm a as she pondered. Then, she muttered, “Two, three, four, five, six...what about 500 million?”

Brittany almost spat in shock. She would not believe that this woman dared to n ame such a price if she had not heard it with her own ears. ‘500 million? Does th is woman think I own a gold mine?!’ “Are you kidding me?!” Brittany shot up abruptly. She finally realized Olivia was playing her, and her expression changed drastically. She finally dropped her che erful front.

“Of course not! Since you were trying to make a joke, it‘s only polite if I joked back!” Olivia s aid disapprovingly.

“I made a joke? When did I make a joke?” Brittany tried to recall. She had no idea what Olivia was talking about.

“You and I know who he is and his worth. You and I also know how much benefit and wealth you can get once you marry him.

For you to offer one million to send me away, are you looking down on him or the Russel family?” There were many incidents where the rich would try to buy the poor out with thei r money. It was something Olivia had pondered for a long time. If someone was l ooking for financial gains, won‘t they know which side would benefit them more?

Why would they give up a big fish for a small sum of money? It would not make sense.

“So, you‘re not going to leave?” Brittany tore the check unhappily. This woman w as not as easy to deal with as she thought. “Do you think you can really marry him? You‘re not worthy of him at all.” Olivia tilted her head to look at Brittany with her arms crossed and sinirked. “I ca n‘t say I‘m worthy, but I know you‘re not! Otherwise, you wouldn‘t have shown up here to try and send me away in such a hurry!” This sentence hit Brittany straight in the heart, and she immediately felt embarra ssed. Her hands that hung by her side instantly clenched into fists. “Shut up!” Olivia was right. Otherwise, Brittany did not have to hire a private detective to lo ok into this and show up at Olivia’s front door.

“This is my house, and this is my mouth. I can say whatever I want. Why should if you don‘t want to hear me talk!” Each sentence she said was harsher than the other. Brittany was so angry that s She could not wait to tear Olivia apart after discovering how annoying she was.

+ “You shameless sl*t!” Brittany yelled before rushing over to Olivia, trying to scratc Olivia did not expect Brittany to jump at her like that and get slammed to the grou Olivia‘s face.

 

Chapter 506 Screech! Brittany‘s sharp fingernails scratched against Olivia‘s face painfully. Anger began to bubble in Olivia‘s heart, but she began to steady hers elf.

‘I can‘t allow her to bully me like this! This is just a sight! We‘ll see who‘s scared of who! i‘m going to show you who‘s boss!‘ At that moment, Olivia noticed a gap between Brittany‘s demonic claws and quic kly reached out to pull her hair.

Brittany yelped in pain after Olivia tugged her hair backward. Her tears threaten ed to fall out of her eyes. “How dare you attack me?!”

Ever since she was a child, her parents had never laid a finger on her, let alone outsiders. Brittany had always been pampered and treated like a princess.

Back in school, Brittany‘s brother, whom she was very close to, would protect he r. No one dared to lay a finger on her. Later, she gained a lot of suitors, which sh e then used to help break her into the entertainment industry. Even the directors dared not speak up to her. Yet, this b*tch dared to pull her hair?

Brittany was furious. She did not care where Olivia struck her as she continued to claw and kick. “How dare y ou attack me?! How dare you?!

Brittany had no idea how to fight as she never grew up fighting. Hence, she claw ed and scratched in all directions, hurting Olivia several times. Olivia was startin g to sume in the face of this mad woman.

In a blink, she flipped Brittany over and pressed her down. Then she raised her f ist to punch Brittany. As she pummeled Brittany, she yelled, “Motherf*cker! How dare you hit me? I‘ll show you how it feels!” Initially, Brittany rushed toward Olivia out of momentary anger. Brittany did not k now how to fight at all. Now, she could barely stand it after Olivia slammed her t o the ground and held her down.

Before this, she could still kick and scratch, but after getting punched a few time s, Brittany stopped moving and began to cry, “How dare you punch me?! You‘re dead! I‘m going to k ill you!” “Hey! Are you still going to be so hard– leaded?” Olivia initially planned to stop, but she got riled up after hearing what B rittany said. Then Olivia reached out to pinch Brittany‘s checks, pulling them apa rt. “Did you say you‘re going to kill me, huh? How dare you?!” At this point, Brittany was wailing as tears and snot covered her face. Olivia‘s fa ce twisted with disgust, and just as she was about to let go, she heard a cry fro m behind them. “What are you two doing?!” “Olivia?!” Edward heard the commotion when he returned and rushed over, only t He could not care less about the things he bought and threw them by the door be Olivia stood there with several scratches on her face, and her hair was messy. Th her cuts. A hint of distress flashed across Edward‘s eyes as he subconsciously re “I‘m fine!” Olivia exclaimed and wiped her face casually with her head held high.

When she turned to look at Brittany, still lying on the ground in tears, Olivia felt like she had

 

Chapter 507 When Edward followed Olivia‘s line of sight suspiciously, he was startled by wha t he saw. “Ms. Oakley?!” “Huh? You know hier?” Olivia casually asked as she ruffled her messy hair.

Edward had no idea how Brittany found this place, nor did he know how she got into a fight with Olivia. Although questions were ringing in his head, he knew it w as not the right time to ask them. Instead, he squatted down and helped her up.

“Ms. Oakley, h– how did you get here?” Edward was at a loss for words when he looked at Britta ny‘s disheveled appearance. It was already bizarre for her to show up here, and

now that she had gotten beaten up like this, he could not conjure a proper expla nation.

Edward was beyond confused.

“Waa... Waa...” Brittany was still wailing. Other than suffering a great grievance j ust moments ago, her sadness from the past few days had piled up, and she was finally letting it all out.

The most important part of this was thåt Edward was here. If he was here, Alexa nder must be nearby. Brittany was sure he would show up soon. So, she allowe d Edward to lift her and cried, “E–Edward! Where‘s Alex?” “Mr. Russell isn‘t here. I‘m only here to take care of Ms. Hart,” Edward replied.” Ms. Oakley, are you all right?” Brittany listed her head to look at him with teary eyes. Then she started to sob again. “D– Do I look o–okay to you?” Olivia, who stood on the sidelines, could not help but snicker.

Just a moment ago, this woman stomped in with her head held high, acting all hi gh and mighty. She even tried to buy Olivia off with a check. But now, Brittany‘s head was swollen, and her makeup was messy. Her gorgeous curls now looked like a bird‘s nest.

She looked so ridiculous that Olivia could not help but laugh. At this moment, Ed ward glanced back at Olivia, signaling her not to add fuel to the fire.

Sure enough, Olivia‘s snicker angered Brittany even more. “How dare you laugh at me?! Edward, look! She was the one who beat me up. I need to tell my paren ts so they can avenge me! I need to have a good talk with Alex. How can he mar ry such a vulgar and savage woman?!” As she waved her finger angrily at Olivia, Brittany suddenly had an idea.

“That‘s right! She beat me up! How can this ruthless woman, who goes around b eating people, be married into the Russell family? How can she be Alex‘s wife a nd be in charge of the family‘s affairs in the future?! She‘s not worthy of it at all!

Edward, who was comforting her, was puzzled when he heard what she said.‘ M arry?!‘ Then as he shot a suspicious look at Olivia, she stood there proudly and quietly w Edward did not know what to say.

“Don‘t be so complacent! The Russell family would never let a woman like you be in– law! Watch your back!” Brittany threatened. She finally stopped crying and wiped “Ms. Oakley, d– did you say that Mr. Russell wants to marry...her?” Edward could no longer suppr back and forth between Brittany and Olivia. He wondered what all this meant.

“Don‘t know about that?!” Brittany‘s eyes widened, and he looked at Edward in su Edward was Alexander‘s personal assistant, part– time driver, and bodyguard. Edward had been around Alexander for years and wa “What do I not know?” Edward was confused. ‘Has the news of Mr. Russell‘s mar

 

Chapter 508 Edward was out of the loop. He held his tongue out of fear of inispe aking, “If you didn‘t know, why are you here to take care of her? Didn‘t Alexander ask y ou to do this?” Brittany questioned as she pointed her finger at Olivia.

“He arranged this, but...” Just as Edward was explaining, Olivia interrupted him. “Did you hear that? Alexander was the one who sent him to take care of me, letting me live in this house. No matter how jealous you are or how much you want to break us up. You won‘t have the chance!”

Olivia shook hier index finger at Brittany. Then she rotated her wrist, giving Britta ny a thumbs down. That irritated Brittany. She was about to jump on Olivia when Edward stopped her.

“Miss Oakley, calm down!” He was not very good at comforting people, so that was all he could say. Brittan y seemed to have found the wrong person, but for some reason, Olivia opted to mislead and enrage her instead of telling the truth.

“Okay, I won‘t do it!” After being stopped by Edward, Brittany calmed down and looked at him, “However, as you can see, I didn‘t touch her while she hit me. Don‘t twist the truth when you tell Alexander about this.” Edward was silent.

“Humph! Wait and see!” After Brittany threatened Olivia, she fixed her messy hai r, picked up the bag that had fallen on the floor, and walked out of the house.

Edward turned to look at Olivia and at Brittany, who rushed out. After hesitating, he eventually stayed and did not chase after Brittany.

“Why didn‘t you go after her?” Olivia bent over to pick up everything scattered o n the ground.

Two broken cups were among the other items that had been knocked over and scattered around. It was not worth it. Olivia needed to figure out a means to pay for it regardless.

Olivia was so satisfied during the fight, but she was no longer pleased when she knew how much she needed to pay back. Edward brought a broom and a dustp an and helped her clean the mess up.

“Why‘d you mislead her?” He asked while cleaning.

“Mislead her?” Olivia sneered and pointed at her nose. “She was the one who di dn‘t figure it out. She rushed up to me and accused me of being a vixen, a bad woman. Since she thinks so, then I‘ll agree and be like that for her!” Olivia shrugged. ‘I only fulfilled Brittany‘s wish, so you‘re welcome, Brittany.’ Edward could not say anything, so he continued silently After tidying up everything and wiping the table, Olivia sat down heavily. She felt “I‘m worn out!” Edward came over with cotton swabs, iodophor solution, and band– aids. He looked at her and said, “Go wash your face. I‘ll apply some medicine for you.” “Huh?” After reacting, she touched her cheek. It did kind of hurt, but it should not “Don‘t bother. This little injury will heal tomorrow!” She waved her hand smiling.

Instead of persuading her, Edward said, “Human nails are filthy with bacteria and “Stop. I‘m going to wash it. I‘m going to wash my face, okay?!” Olivia was afraid s

 

Chapter 509 Olivia went to the bathroom to wash her face. When she looked in t he mirror, she was a mess. Her hair was tangled and messy. She could even gr ab a fistful of hair. That woman was ruthless.

However, Brittany was also a mess. Olivia had yanked off a lot of her hair, and t hose punches on her face were hard. That was for her showing off! Moreover, B rittany was Lily‘s love rival. Helping her friend manage her romantic rival was, th erefore, acceptable.

Thinking of this, Olivia felt righteous and great. She brushed her hair in front of t he mirror, washed her face and neck, and then walked out of the bathroom.

“Sit down.” Edward pointed to the seat in front of him.

 

Olivia pouted, “No need! It‘s just a small injury.” “The injury may not be big, but the number of cases of tetanus infection due to a small injury every year is about 1 in 600,000, and the cases of death due to tetanus infection are...” “Fine, I‘ll put the medicine on, all right?” At first, Olivia‘s impression of Edward was that he was dull. Then she realized th at he was hard on the outside and soft on the inside.

When she thought Edward had trouble expressing himself, he would babble hig h sounding truths until everyone was left speechless. At the same time, when thi nking he could talk a lot, they could sit together for the better part of the afternoo n without him even opening his mouth.

He was a combination of extreme contradictions. Frankly, he treated Olivia quite nicely.

When the cotton swab was dipped with medicine and wiped on the cut on her face, Olivia could not help but gasp, “Ouch, it hurts!” “Why‘d you fight with her?” Edward asked while carefully applying the medicine.

“You should know that she hit me first! I just retaliated in self– defense,” Olivia said confidently.

Glancing at her, Edward continued, “Deliberately misleading her and pretending to be Mr. Russell‘s fiancée is also self–defense?” “I‘ve already said that it‘s her fault she got that wrong. It‘s none of my business.

She believes I am Mr. Russell‘s fiancée. She‘ll think I‘m lying even if I say I‘m no t.

With Brittany‘s paranoid and arrogant personality, it would be impossible for her to believe that Olivia wa s not the one she was looking for.

His finger paused. Edward felt that what Olivia had said was reasonable.

Brittany was indeed highly stubborn. He had always been by Alexander‘s side a nd often had the opportunity to meet her. The spoiled woman‘s temper was not very good.

“By the way, what‘s that woman‘s background? She‘s so arrogant and even thro ws money at me! It‘s like I haven‘t seen money before!” Olivia felt angry when s he thought about it.

Still, it was a lot of money!

Olivia might act like it was nothing then, but it was because she was fooling around. Those figure “How did she throw money on you?” Edward felt amused after hearing her words “It‘s like the old– fashioned plot on TV. She‘d write me a check for me to leave Alexander. She eve let me set a price. I did set the price, and she regretted it again!” Olivia could not help but complain. Brittany should not hav “Have you made an offer?” Edward was surprised and a little curious. “How – much did you ask for?” It must be a huge number to make Brittany step back, but he was still stunned wh “You... dare to ask for that much?!” he lamented.

Who knew this petite girl who loved to cry and laugh was so courageous?

Brittany must have pulled back on it. Anyone would have to pull back on it!

 

Chapter 510 “Why? Isn‘t Mr. Russell worth the price?” Olivia asked back with a li ght snort.

He did not dare to say that!

After giving her the medicine, Edward glanced to see a piece of paper vaguely u nder the seam of the sofa. He bent down and picked it up to take a look. That w as Brittany‘s cheque which seemed to be blank. He thought about it and slipped it into his pocket.

“What do you want that for?” Olivia also saw it and asked curiously, “You want to make an offer for her too?” Edward‘s eyes twitched. What did he need to make an offer for?!

 

“Nothing. It might be useful later,” he said lightly.

“Oh.” Nodding, Olivia went to get her phone. “I‘ll make a call.” Seeing her get up and walk into the bedroom, Edward considered it. He should also make a phone call. Brittany made such a fuss there might have more troubl e coming in.

He was aware of the trouble– making skills of that spoiled lady. He had experienced Brittany‘s stubborn haras sment before, so it was necessary to warn Mr. Russell.

“Olivia!” It was the first time Olivia took the initiative to call her, so Lily was deligh ted. “Why are you free to call me today?” “Come on. I‘ve nothing to do. I‘m free all day!” After being sarcastic, Olivia said s oftly, “Lily, I‘m sorry. You‘ve worked so hard recently!” Lily disagreed, “It‘s all right. Come and help me only after you get a good rest!” “Well, I‘m ready to report back!” It sounded like Olivia was in a relaxed mood.” A nyway, I‘ve done my work at home, and I‘m not supposed to continue resting!” After a pause, she subconsciously said with her voice lowered, “About that, Lily..

. Anything happened between you and Mr. Russell?” Lily was confused, not understanding what she meant by that, “What do you me an? Nothing happened between us!” “It‘s not that. I mean, are you ready to make your relationship public?” “Well, maybe. What‘s the matter?” Lily felt strange. “When did you become so g ossipy?” “Well, about that...” After hesitating, Olivia decided to tell her about today‘s incident to remind her,” A woman came over today and mistook me for you.” “What?” “She might be looking for the woman that Mr. Russell wants to marry, but for som Lily turned off the machine and walked to a quieter place. She still did not quite u “It seems that her surname is Oakley…” Olivia recalled that Edward addressed h “Oakley...” Lily thought carefully, but she could not recall anyone with that name.

“Hey, you don‘t have to be afraid anyway. I‘ve already beaten her up! I helped yo “What?!” Lily was stunned, “You... beat her up?” After hanging up the phone, Lily was still confused. Olivia‘s words puzzled her. W she got home and saw Alexander, the first question that popped into her mind was
