Chapter 73
Olivia remained silent, uncertain of how to respond to Anaâs words.
After that, Ana didnât mention anything more.
As they arrived at the Harris residence, Olivia found herself in the midst
of a lively and elegant gathering. She didnât recognize anyone and was
surrounded by sophisticated and majesticâlooking people who seemed
to be having a great time, laughing and chatting around Maisy.
A woman around Ana's age approached them and asked, âWho is
this, Ana?"
With a smile, Ana replied, âTyler's new girlfriend.â
The woman who had approached them was taken aback. âWhat?
Tyler's new girlfriend? But isnât Tyler with Naomi...â
She stopped herself mid-sentence, and Ana smiled, gesturing toward
Olivia. âSay hi, Olivia.â
Feeling uncomfortable, Olivia felt like she was being punished. She
hesitated and remained silent.
Ana sensed Olivia's reluctance and decided not to push her further,
saying, âLet's go, Olivia. I think Grandma misses you.â
As they walked through the living room, Olivia felt the curious stares
of the people present, making her even more uneasy. She finally called
out when they reached Maisy, âGrandma.â
Maisy was delighted with her and commented, âWhat a good girl. I'm
happy with Tyler's choice this time,â looking at Olivia as if she were
her future granddaughterâinâlaw.
Ana said, âI'm happy that you're happy. Aren't you going to pour
Grandma tea, Olivia?" She looked at Olivia coldly.
Despite her discomfort, Olivia complied.
Tyler didn't arrive at the Harris residence until six in the evening. Olivia
had been there all day by
then.
One of his younger cousins approached him excitedly, exclaiming,
âYou've got a new girlfriend, Tyler?!"
Taken aback for a moment, Tyler soon found himself being questioned
by various family members.
âTyler, why didnât you tell us that you got a new girlfriend? We heard
it from your mom,â one of his
aunts said.
He quickly realized who had spread the false news. Not responding to
their questions, he scanned the room until he spotted Olivia standing
under the light.
The family members had made Olivia drink, and by the time Tyler
found her, she was standing
unsteadily next to a table, looking at him with a dazed expression.

âTyler.â Struggling to maintain her balance, Olivia tried her best to stand
still.
Tyler asked the people around, âWho made her drink?â
The girl next to him immediately raised her hand. âIt wasnât me, Tyler. I
didn't make her drink.â
He then looked at Ana, who was standing next to Maisy. âOf course,
we drink at the family dinner. It's a happy occasion.â
He walked toward Olivia. Seeing him approach, Olivia instinctively
moved toward him, swaying slightly. âI-I wanted to drink,â she
explained, her words slurred.
The scent of alcohol clung to her, and Tyler's expression turned cold.
