Chapter 130 Reaching Out to Olivia “Did Eugene ask Olivia to come back?”

Lara answered, “No, it was Nathan. I kept stopping Eugene, but I didn’t think Nathan would take the opportunity!” Sitting on the sofa, she continued, “Weren’t you just with Jessica?”

Ben revealed, “I wanted to win her back, but she is quite firm this time.”

“What is Old Man Smith doing?”

“Initially, he did not approve of canceling our marriage. But when Jessica answered his call earlier, she just walked out after hanging up. I don’t know what he told her over the phone.”

Lara pinched the bridge of her nose and was slightly agitated. “He must have seen the news today too. Here; we’ll double the dowry. You must keep Jessica by your side no matter what!”

...

Olivia’s fashion studio was about to begin operations soon. Thus, she was busy working in the office all day and night—recruiting staff members, supervising, and preparing clothes.

She had hired two designers and two assistants who were all capable and sensible.

After working together for a few days, they gained a good understanding of Olivia’s character and nature. They were especially impressed when they saw her designs.

“Miss Olivia, I don’t know if I should ask this,” Sophia Young, her assistant, asked.

Olivia was always amicable with her subordinates. “Go ahead.”

Sophia inched closer. “Word on the street is that you are the world-renowned fashion designer, Angel. Is that true?”

Olivia smiled at her. “What do you think?”

“I think so!”

Olivia could not stop herself from chuckling. Without denying it, she said, “Get back to work.”

However, not denying it was practically admitting to it. Sophia answered with much enthusiasm, “Yes, Ma’am!”

While they were engaged in conversation, a knock sounded from the door.

Olivia looked up and called, “Come in!”

At that moment, a chubby woman came in with all smiles on her face. “Olivia.”

Florence?

A look of resentment flashed before Olivia’s eyes, and her face grew dark. “What are you doing here?”

Florence took the opportunity to walk in and grovel at her, “Olivia, I came to apologize to you. I made things difficult for you because of what happened last time. I’m the only one at fault. Will you consider my old age and stop pitting against me? I’m just an old lady now.”

Olivia did not expect an apology from her and was suddenly befuddled. “It’s in the past now. I won’t pry into it anymore!”

Florence took another step forward and pressed, “Actually, it’s all because of that shameless woman, Anna. She is so good at spinning her words and had us all in the palm of her hand. We’re also victims, especially Hugo; he’s the most innocent. He only did those hurtful things to you because he was seduced by that woman.”

Olivia felt more confused the more she listened. She stopped what she was working on and looked at Florence with a stern expression. “Whoever spun her words and whoever got seduced amongst you people has nothing to do with me. You don’t owe me an explanation either. As I said, it’s all in the past now. As long as you people don’t come and look for trouble again!”

Florence panicked. “No, Olivia. Eugene has almost completely crushed the Gray Group. Can you ask for mercy on my behalf?

The one who wronged you was Anna, and after what she did, there’s no way the Gray Family will accept her now. She has nothing to do with us anymore. If you want Eugene to take revenge, please let him take it out on Anna. It has nothing to do with the Gray Group!”

After hearing that, Olivia seemed to understand. So that’s why she’s acting so differently. Eugene is going against the Gray Group.

Olivia sneered at her. “Since Eugene is the one taking revenge on the Gray Group, you should go look for him. Why did you come to me? Eugene is not anybody of significance to me.”
