Female Novel"It's been a while." Olivia remembered the time Calvin helped her, hence the approachable attitude.
Now that Olivia was so laid-back talking to others while ignoring the Monroes, Millie spouted meanly,"You do know a lot of men, Ms. Fordham.
I wonder who you came with today." Olivia faintly smiled in response.
"Why must I come with a man? Can't I come on my own? Are you perhaps self-projecting? You rely onman to climb higher and so you expect others to be the same." Millie noticed that Olivia came empty-handed.
There wasn't a bag, let alone an invitation.
"Are you here to catfish others? Ms. Fordham, do you know what kind of party this is?" The ladiesbegan whispering to each other.
Although the men kept quiet, their eyes on Olivia weren't friendly.
"Who said that she doesn't have an invitation? She came with US.
We were classmates." Calista stood up for Olivia.
Olivia was slightly surprised to see Calista defending her.
Still, it was a feeble statement to sell to the bystanders because Calvin was able to attend the partythanks to Chris' relationship with Ethan.
Ignoring others' reactions, Olivia replied to Millie indifferently, "I got it." The way Olivia didn't take Millieseriously angered Millie more.
"If you get it, why are you still here? You-" Before she could finish, two steely voices chimed in at thesame time.
"Where is she supposed to be if not here?" "Why can't she be here?" The incoming people were Ethanand Linus.
They made a grand appearance after their meeting.
The crowd made way for them.
As soon as Tyrell saw the men, he put Olivia at the back of his head and gave Neal a look.
Tyrell approached the men.
When he was about to say something, they walked past him in a hurry to reach Olivia.
Ethan hugged her with a frown on his face.
"Did someone bully you?" Was this an act between an ex-husband and his ex-wife? Ethan's eyes onlyheld affection and nothing else.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were a loving married couple.
Millie had accused Olivia of being a sugar baby just a moment ago, but it now appeared to others thatOlivia hadn't divorced Ethan.novelbin
Millie finally understood the meaning behind Calvin's words, but it was too late.
It wasn't only Ethan as even Linus was concerned about Olivia.
"Liv, what happened?" The people could understand Ethan's reaction but not Linus'.
When they thought back about the purpose of the party, they had an inkling of the situation.
This party was held to welcome a new member to the Heath family.
People were speculating about an adoption.
Could Olivia be the one adopted? The Monroes' expressions were equally dreadful as they prayed forOlivia to have nothing to do with the Heath family.
Right then, Molly and Tatiana showed up with interlocked arms.
Instead of walking in front of them, Mason stood next to Molly like a fatherly figure.
Noticing the crowd, he asked, "What's this?" Everyone's eyes were on Molly.
Something was off.
It was general knowledge that Tatiana was a fool for her daughter.
Why wasn't Krystal around? Why was a stranger holding Tatiana's arm? novelbin Even though Masonshowed up with a smile, solemnity sat in the air as everyone managed their expressions.
They straightened their backs, unconsciously behaving with their utmost decorum.
"Mr. Heath."
