Even the assistant seemed a bit stunned, but she quickly regained her
composure. âOkay. Follow me.
Olivia followed her into her car. The assistant asked, âDo you have
everything you need?â
âYes,â Olivia confirmed.
âGood.â
As they drove to the county clerk's office, they passed by couples
waiting together. Olivia was the only one there alone.
The assistant kept glancing at her phone before reassuring Olivia, âMs.
Naomi might be facing some difficulties. Just hold on a bit longer.â
Olivia had long lost any emotional connection to the event. It mattered
little to her. "I understand.â
Strangely enough, before meeting Tyler, Olivia encountered Hillary.
Even the assistant was taken aback by her presence. âMrs. Jones?"
Hillary wasted no time approaching Olivia. âExcuse me, but I need to
speak with her privately.â
The assistant hesitated but eventually nodded. She cast a wary glance
at Olivia before leaving them
alone.
In truth, the assistant was too anxious to leave Olivia alone with her.
What was Hillary's purpose? Nonetheless, she left after casting a brief,
secondsâlong look at Olivia.
Olivia remained seated. She didnât even greet her.
The hall was bustling with noise, yet Hillary's voice cut through clearly.
âThis marriage is solely for the IVF procedure. It means nothing more,
do you understand? Donât you dare cross that line!â
Olivia remained calm.
âDid you hear me?!â Hillary pressed.
âYes.â
âYour mother owes me this much,â Hillary continued. âAnd you're
paying her debt.â With that, she walked away, leaving Olivia feeling
trapped.
Outside, the assistant waited anxiously. She hadn't expected Hillary's
conversation to end so quickly and approached Olivia.
Hillary, at least courteous to Tyler's staff, remarked, âI just reminded her
of her responsibilities. That's all.â
The assistant stared at her for a long time. âI see.
Hillary left in her car.
