Chapter 68

Ana greeted her mother with a smile, “Mom, I brought a guest.”

The old lady scoffed. “I wonder who you've brought this time.”

Ana stepped away after hearing that and turned to the door.

The old lady looked at the person standing at the door with a frown and

asked, Who is this?”

Ana wore a cryptic smile and refrained from answering her mother

directly. Instead, said, “Olivia, come here and meet grandma.”

The old lady couldn't quite decipher Ana's intentions for this surprise

introduction.

Olivia hesitated for a moment, then, as if programmed, approached the

old lady while Ana observed her every move. Olivia mustered the

courage to address her, ” Grandma.”

The unexpected encounter with so many members of the Harris family

in one day had left Olivia feeling overwhelmed.

Ana stepped in to clarify, “She’s Naomi’s sister, Olivia.”

The old lady's initial smile gave way to seriousness. “Naomi'’s sister?”

Ana merely smiled and said nothing.

The old lady's demeanor toward Olivia shifted, seemingly influenced by

her feelings toward Naomi. Her eyes grew cold as she observed Olivia.

“They don't look alike.”

Olivia lowered her gaze, maintaining her composure and allowing the

scrutiny.

Ana interjected, “They don't. They share the same father but have

different mothers. But she’s much more obedient than Naomi. You'll

see.”

In a high-status family like the Harris's, an obedient and docile

daughter—in—law was preferred. Apart from the fact that she was

Naomi's sister, which the old lady disliked, she admired Olivia's

demeanor and appearance.

“She does seem obedient,” the old lady agreed.

Olivia found herself watching television with the old lady in the living

room as the day progressed. Meanwhile, Tyler arrived in the evening.

The living room was bustling with activity, with Ana engaged in cheerful

conversation with the old lady.

Tyler, looking somewhat preoccupied, paid no attention to the maid's

greeting as he entered. His face appeared stern, and his expression

was cold.

Despite this, the maid made it a point to announce his arrival to those

in the living room, saying, “Madams, Tyler is back.”

Ana glanced towards the door, her smile undeterred. “You're home,

Tyler?”

Relieved, Olivia, who had been feeling anxious while standing next to

the old lady, looked towards Tyler as well, her eyes brightening.

Dressed in a black suit, Tyler locked eyes with Olivia as he entered the

room. The worry that had clouded his gaze vanished instantly.

Ana approached him and said apologetically, “I'm sorry, Tyler. I should

have informed you that I brought Olivia here.”

Tyler maintained his cold expression and replied, "Did you kidnap her?

I won't hesitate to call the police if this happens again.”

Before coming here, he had learned that Olivia had gone missing on

her way to school. He had nearly called the police until he found out

that his mother had brought Olivia to their family home.

Ana still failed to recognize the absurdity of her actions. She continued

to smile as she said, “You're right, it's my fault. I should have informed

you beforehand if I plan to invite Olivia over in the future.”
