Chapter 178
Tyler didn't seem surprised. Instead, he seemed pleased. He then left
the room.
Meanwhile, Olivia endured the makeup session, which lasted as
long as she anticipated.
After more than an hour, the makeup was finally completed. She
inspected her reflection in the
mirror.
The make-up artist reminded her, âYour dress is quite long. Please be
careful when you walk.â
Olivia acknowledged the advice with a nod and rose cautiously from
her seat.
When she went downstairs, she found Tyler patiently waiting on the
couch.
âShe's ready, sir,â the maid informed him.
Tyler looked up at Olivia. Today, she wore a pale pink satin dress
adorned with a pearl headpiece. Her complexion glimmered like
diamonds.
Though she stood there awkwardly, Tyler's expression remained
unreadable as he stared at her.
âLet's go then,â he said, closing the magazine in his hand and rising
from the couch.
Only when she saw him stand did Olivia approach. Tyler paused when
she reached him and extended his hand toward her.
At first, Olivia didnât know what he was trying to do, so she stood there
blankly.
Tyler clarified, âGive me your hand.â
Unfamiliar with the formalities, Olivia slowly placed her hand on his
arm.
Beside Tyler, Olivia appeared youthful. Indeed, she was young,
accentuating Tyler's mature
demeanor.
Before leaving the lobby, Tyler whispered to her, âStay close to me
today.â
Nervous, Olivia murmured her assent.
Just as they were about to leave, the makeup artist interjected, âWait,
you forgot something.â
She took out the wedding ring, which she retrieved from the safe
earlier. She slipped it onto Olivia's finger.
The diamond was excessively large, making Olivia view it as a hassle;
she had never worn it.
Tyler caught a glimpse of it when the makeup artist placed it on Olivia's
finger. âLet's go,â he said, turning away and leading the way.
Olivia followed obediently as they made their way to the car.
Upon arrival at the Harris residence, they were greeted by a throng of
guests. Olivia couldn't describe

how grand it was. She thought the previous banquet was lavish
enough; never had she imagined this one to be on a whole new level.
The garden boasted a towering champagne fountain, while the
entrance was lined with parked cars. White decorations adorned the
door, and a floral fountain graced the front of the living room. Melodic
piano tunes resonated throughout the place.
The expansive house spanned close to 1,000 square feet and was
filled with elegantly attired guests clutching wine glasses, all prominent
figures in society.
As Olivia stepped out of the car with Tyler, she couldn't help but
wonder, âIf the banquet is already so grand, what will the wedding look
like?"
Her mind was in turmoil, struggling to make sense of the spectacle
before her.
A guest eager to engage in small talk approached them. Tyler remained
composed, unfazed by the social niceties.
