"Get some rest; we'll talk later," Zayden said as he ushered Olivia into her room.
"Um, wait!" Zayden stopped in his tracks as he was about to walk out of the room and turned to Olivia.
"What's wrong?" she asked, still with a cold, flat look in her eyes.
"Thank you for helping me get out of that wedding," Olivia said.
Zayden turned her back to Olivia. "If you want to make Aland regret leaving you, you should have chosen a husband who is above Aland. You should not have chosen an old man your grandfather's age." Zayden's sarcasm really hurt her heart, but she couldn't avoid it because that was a fact.
She herself was too rash to accept the marriage without consideration.
"Never mind; you just rest." Zayden walked out of Olivia's room, leaving the woman still wearing her wedding dress alone.
"Gosh, what a day!" Olivia complained, sitting on the side of the bed. "Sorry, Grandpa."

"Tell me if there's something you don't understand," Zayden said."All right. But I have to be in the same room as you, right?" Olivia, who worked for Sanders, inquired, noting that her desk was in the same room as Zayden's but in a different position. But that way, both Zayden and Olivia could look at each other."Why don't you like being in the same room as me?" I asked Zayden, who was already sitting in his oversized chair."No, it's just that I feel awkward being in the same room with you. Isn't Clif in a different room?" Olivia continued to protest about her newly set-up desk."Yeah, so?" asked Zayden, folding his arms across his chest."Shouldn't I be in the same room as Clif?""No way!" replied Zayden firmly. "Baboon, don't forget that I'm the boss here.""All right, Mr. Boss. I'll obey you," Olivia replied with a sigh and finally sat down in her chair. She noticed that her desk was still empty."But doesn't this desk have to have
"Did Roseline see you earlier?" asked Zayden, pretending not to know."Yes, she came and went again," Olivia replied."You don't have a problem dealing with her alone, do you? After all, she's a bitch," Zayden said as they got in the car to go to dinner."I'm not enough of a bitch to stand up to her," Olivia said. "I'm not trying to brag, but I've faced more bitches like her before." "Yeah, I believe that," Zayden said. "Because you're the only woman who isn't even afraid of a mobster. Even when I pointed a gun at you, you weren't scared at all.""Maybe if the one pointing the gun was a real criminal, I would be scared. If it were you, I'm sure you wouldn't just shoot people for no reason," Olivia replied, leaving Zayden stunned. "So I thought, maybe I'd be safe by your side."Something warm ran through her veins and seeped into her heart.Clif, who had known Zayden was moving until the man's earlobes turned red, smiled from the front seat. He was even more convinced that Zayden had
"I want to go to the bathroom and take a walk by myself," Olivia said as Zayden was talking to her client, who wouldn't let Zayden leave and kept asking questions."All right. I'll see you later," Zayden said.Olivia walked away from there because she felt bored and tired of the business discussion. Simon had actually offered Olivia a position in the company, if not as manager. For some reason, Olivia was not so interested in business. Olivia loved art; she preferred to make paintings or something else from clay and wax. Yes, she really liked that. I'm not sure when she last engaged in her favorite activity; she herself seems to have forgotten.Olivia stepped into the garden, where she sat in the middle of Rosaline's birthday party's hustle and bustle. Here, a calm and peaceful atmosphere enveloped every inch of the ground, keeping the noise and crowds outside at bay. The garden is filled with beautifully blooming flowers, displaying a variety of bright and capt
"Mrs. Sanders."The words kept ringing in Olivia's head and had the effect of making her heart beat erratically."What the hell, Mrs. Sanders? That man talks out of his ass," Olivia complained with a red face. Olivia cupped her heated cheeks. She looked at her reflection in the bathroom sink mirror."Calm down, Oliv. Don't be so confident," Olivia muttered. 'Obviously he said those things just to help me out of trouble,' Olivia thought to herself.She then walked out of the bathroom and was surprised to see Zayden standing there. Olivia had to blink her eyes several times."What's wrong with your eyes?" asked Zayden, who was standing there with his hands crossed."No, I think my eyes have become myopic from seeing you standing in front of the woman's bathroom door, like a pervert," Olivia taunted with her cheekiness."Do you think so? I'm just making sure no one bothers you anymore," Zayden said, walking ahead of Olivia.
"Help!"Olivia shouted with tears in her eyes. "Somebody, please call an ambulance!"Everyone in the house burst into Simon's room."Dad!" They rushed over and saw Simon, whose face was already deathly pale."What did you do to my father?" screamed Mery, pushing Olivia's body backwards.Olivia replied with a sad face, "I found him lying on the floor. Tears fell down her cheeks as she looked at Simon."We have to take Dad to the hospital," Diana said."Dad is dead, Diana! How can we take his body to the hospital?" Jacki squealed."But how could we, Hikz?"Among her three children, Diana was the most distressed and sad. "We should call the hospital administrator," said Wilson, Diana's husband."Let's move Dad's body to the bed first," Wilson said, looking at Jacki, who was grunting there. They moved Simon's body to the bed. Olivia was still sitting there with a sinking feeling, and she couldn't believe that her beloved grandfather had passed away."We have to prepare a funeral for Dad
Olivia sat pensively, looking out the window. It was raining quite heavily outside, and Olivia's heart couldn't calm down. She recalled the wonderful memories with Simon's grandfather. Simon gripped Olivia's hand tightly as he escorted her out of the orphanage at the age of 10. "You won't be alone now. Don't be afraid, because Grandpa will always take care of you." That was the first sentence Simon uttered that touched Olivia's heart. "Why did you let go of my hand now? Is it because I don't obey you anymore?" mumbled Olivia, crying. As hard as she could, tears kept flowing down her cheeks. There were so many things that Simon did for Olivia that even Simon did not hesitate to scold his children to protect Olivia. The body was now fragile, so it sat on the floor. Olivia hugged her knees and sobbed there. "Grandpa..." Olivia's heart was filled with deep regret as she silently refused Simon's grandfather's request. And when she wanted to see Grandpa, it turned out that he was no lon
The reading of Simon Mateus' will took place in a large living room filled with family members. Every face present clearly depicted sadness, tension, and impatience. The family lawyer clearly read out the contents of the will, written in blue ink on special paper.The lawyer stated, "Mr. Simon Mateus will fully transfer his 58% share to Olivia Mateus." Meanwhile, I will divide some land and houses equally among my three children. Mr. Zayden Alvedro Sanders now owns Bonaduz Island.A silence fell over the room; everyone was completely shocked there. Olivia, sitting in one corner of the room with a pale face, caught everyone's attention. Simon's three children, Mery, Diana, and Jacki, couldn't hide their anger."Dad couldn't have written this! This must be the result of that foster child's sabotage!" shouted Mery as she stood up from her seat, pointing at Olivia with burning anger.Penelope and Jacki nodded in agreement, both also staring at Olivia with hatef
When she saw Olivia's arrival in the room, Diana said, "Olivia."Olivia was equally surprised to see Diana, Wilson, and their daughter, Queen."Oliv!" With a bright smile, Queen ran over to Oliv and greeted the innocent little boy."How are you, Queen?" asked Olivia, who bowed her body slightly."I'm doing well, Oliv; why don't you live with me anymore?" asked Queen."Because I live here now," Olivia replied, rubbing Queen's head."This house is nice; can I play here?" asked Queen."Of course," replied Olivia, smiling."Queen, come here," Wilson called."Yes, Dad." Queen ran over to Wilson. Olivia got up from her position and walked over to the chair. She was seated on the sofa right next to Zayden."What brings you here?" asked Olivia, not wanting to make small talk; however, she knew that their relationship was not that close."We've come to ask for your help, or perhaps more accurately, to cooperate," Diana said with a
