Chapter 95
Olivia couldn't be certain if the man in front of her was indeed Claude,
but he seemed to match the descriptions people had given about him.
Claude wore a friendly smile as he added, âDo you know me?"
itis tone was pleasant, but Olivia remained unsure if he was truly
Claude.
Before she could dwell on it further, Sophie and her cousin
approached, calling out happily from a distance, âClande!â
Claude turned his attention to them. âYou brats are holding the party
here?â
Sophie held his arm and enthusiastically explained, âWe decided to
have the party here because we thought it would be easier for you to
find us, considering you've been living in the mountains.â
The cousin chimed in with a teasing comment, âClaude, are you going
back to the mountains to become a sage or something?â
Claude responded casually, âWhat are you talking about? Just because
I wasn't home for a couple of years, you're already labeling me?â
Many partygoers had gathered outside the bar to catch a glimpse of
Sophie's legendary brother, who had become the center of attention at
her party.
Naturally, Claude might not have been aware of the buzz surrounding
him.
Sophie excitedly waved at Olivia and introduced her to Claude, saying,
âOlivia, this is my brother, Claude. Get over here!â
Olivia stood still.
Sophie then ran over and grabbed her arm. She introduced her to him,
âClaude, this is Olivia, my best friend and classmate. Her sister is
Naomi Jones!â
âNaomi Jones?" Claude thought about it and asked, âTyler's fiancee?â
Clearly, he had heard of her.
Olivia was somewhat surprised that he knew about Naomi and Tyler.
However, it was no secret that
Naomi was engaged to Tyler, a well-known figure in the upper class.
Their love story had even been covered by the media, portraying it as a
childhood-sweetheartâfairytaleâlike romance.
Sophie confirmed, âYes, sheâs her sister,â and encouraged Olivia to
greet Claude.
Olivia extended her hand to him and introduced herself, âHello, Mr.
Claude. My name is Olivia Jones.â
Claude took her hand gently, shaking it with a warm smile. âJust call me
Claude. You're Sophie's friend, so you're practically my sister too.â
Claude's gentle and approachable demeanor made it easy for people
to trust and feel comfortable around him. After the handshake, Olivia
felt somewhat shy but managed to say, âClaude.â

Normally, it took Olivia a while to warm up to people, even if they were
acquaintances or friends of her sister. She maintained a reserved
demeanor around him.
Claude, understanding her hesitation, smiled and said nothing more.
They were just getting
acquainted, so it made sense that Olivia didnât open up to him.
Sophie then ushered them both into a private room, suggesting,
âClaude, you have to drink with us tonight.â
Claude had come to support his family, so he smiled and accepted
Sophie's invitation without
resistance.
As expected, the atmosphere in the private room soared as soon as
Claude arrived. Numerous girls approached him, attempting to strike up
conversations and ask various questions.
