Olivia's POV"How could it have anything to do with me?" I threw the question back at Hannah directly.Saying that, I reached out and took a tissue from the side, wiped the corner of my lips, and continued asking, "What did they say about me online?"Although I hadn't checked, I knew for sure that people were criticizing me on the internet when Emily suddenly blurted out that sentence this afternoon.In the whirlpool of public opinion, rumors and malice often spread extremel
Marsh's POVAfter Alpha Justin found out about this, he was so angry that he couldn't even take a nap.He called me, but I didn't answer.Jeffrey said that Alpha Justin was very mad at Olivia in the morning, but now his anger had shifted to Lily's family."I heard old Alpha say that Lily is definitely not a simple woman." Jeffrey said, muttering to himself, "Lily is indeed not simple. She has only been back in the country for a short time and has already caused so much troub
Olivia's POV"The villa in Elephant Hill, if I remember correctly, should be worth over 90 million dollars now, right? The apartment in Cloud Garden should also be worth over 30 million dollars. Your asset appreciation in the past three years, even if calculated at 3%, would be at least 4 to 5 billion dollars. Rounded up, that's at least 150 million dollars. So, all in all, you have given me at least 300 million dollars."You are so generous."Marsh frowned, "I know you're not willing to accept this."
Olivia's POVThe voice on the phone recording was indeed Lily's."Ms. Johnson, hello, this is Lily. I truly had no idea about Marsh marrying you as a shield, but regardless, this whole thing started because of me, so I should still apologize to you. Ms. Johnson, are you listening to me?"This statement might sound innocent, but anyone with half a brain could tell there was something off about what Lily said.Perhaps because I remained silent, Lily also paused for a few secon
Alpha Marsh's POVI didn't expect Lily to make such a request. I couldn't help but frown.It was Lily who pushed me away, saving me from the car accident.But I never considered making her my mate.I never said that what she did was unnecessary. As an Alpha, my wolf would have me dodge the danger at the speed of light.Saying that would make me seem heartless.Perhaps seeing my continued silence, Lily couldn't help but speak up, "Alpha Marsh, have you fallen for Olivia?""No.""Then why don't you mark me? Why don't you make me your mate?""Because I don't like you.""If Olivia is your second chance, would you mark her again?""No.""Olivia won't be your second chance either, Alpha Marsh. I can tell she truly doesn't want to love you anymore."I glanced at her.Lilly said this with a strange, triumphant smile, looking at me.I didn't know what made her think she won. I didn't know
Olivia's POVAfter posting on Twitter last night, I went to sleep. I knew full well that the internet would be in chaos when I woke up this morning.When I woke up today, I felt much better.I glanced at my phone and saw two missed calls, one from Blanche and one from Wendy.My WhatsApp was also filled with unread messages, mostly about the posts.Blanche initially sent text messages. But about an hour later, after probably seeing my new Twitter, she sent several voice messages, then.I couldn't help but smile helplessly. Last night, I was provoked by Alpha Marsh and, coinciding with a cold, my reaction was a bit slow. I didn't think it through and posted on Twitter.Hunter and Blanche are aware of the situation now.Last time when we went to the Dawn Pack, they were still polite. But only a few days later, Lily showed up to falsely accuse me.Hunter was furious when he heard about it and immediately asked his assistant
Olivia's POV"Lily's got her heart set on joining the Dawn Pack. Alpha Justin is so angry that he's in the hospital now. I doubt even if she groveled, she couldn't get into the Dawn Pack!"I gave Hannah a faint smile and said, "Don't be so sure about that."People like Alpha Justin, who's all about the bottom line, might just let Lily in one day.But what does it have to do with me?Nothing. Really.I pushed my chair back, got up, and headed to my room as Hannah called after me, "Hey, Olivia. What's up?""Get changed. I'm heading to work."I'd taken a day off yesterday, missing out on hundreds of thousands of dollars.Hannah, the lady of leisure, found my words boring.She, with all her free time, couldn't grasp the joy of working.I came out dressed and saw Hannah still there, tsking, "Why are you still here?""Your guest room bed is super comfy. I'm catching some Zs before I go. Alpha Zander woke m
Olivia's POVMy words made Emily's face stiffen for a moment.But she recovered quickly.After a slight intake of breath, she spoke again, "Alright, maybe I've misunderstood you."She continued, "Let's talk about the apology. Could you please let us off the hook this time? Lily is very unstable right now. You might not know that she became a vegetative state to save Alpha Marsh, lying in a hospital bed for nearly five years. Before she went into surgery, Alpha Marsh personally promised her that he would mate her. But now that she's back and lucid, she found out you were once Alpha Marsh's mate, which made her think wrongly and lie about you."Emily's expression changed slightly as she went on, "Besides, why Alpha Marsh made you his mate back then, I think you know very well. The past is the past. Now, you and Alpha Marsh have separated. You don't need to be stuck in the past. Lily did wrong, but the doctor said she has depression. Please understand
Olivia's POVAfter all the procedures were completed, I immediately called Hannah.I asked her to tell Tom to withdraw those trending topics and block some keywords.Hearing this, Hannah immediately became anxious. "No way, Olivia. You're not getting mixed up with Alpha Marsh again, are you? What does it matter if Lily's actions hang out online for a few days?"I knew Hannah had misunderstood, so I quickly clarified. "No, I received a gag payment."Hannah became even more excited. "How much of it? Are you short on money? Didn't Alpha Marsh just give you three hundred million? Is that not enough? If you really need it, hold on, I'll call my mom right now. We can't just swallow this insult."I patiently waited for Hannah to finish speaking before slowly saying, "Over nine billion. If you can give me that much, then I won't swallow this insult."Hannah thought she had heard it wrong and couldn't believe it. She asked doubtfully, "Olivia,
Cedric's POVI was just about to leave when I heard Olivia's voice. My steps instinctively halted.I turned my head and watched Olivia walk towards me. I asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"Olivia's lips curled up slightly and then she smiled, "I do need a favor from you."I raised my eyebrows, signaling her to continue."I'd like you to pass a message to Alpha Marsh for me," she said. "I have plenty of money. If he's willing to give me a few billion for free, I'll gladly accept it. That way, what's between us will be settled. As for Lily's matter, considering Alpha Marsh's generosity, I'm not inclined to dwell on it."After Olivia finished speaking, she turned and walked straight towards the transaction area.I watched Olivia's retreating figure. My mood unconsciously changed.Warwick was beside me, looking very confused.He said, "I heard every word Olivia said. I understand each one individually, but when put
Olivia's POVI woke up early in the morning.The rain from last night was still falling. The sky outside the window was dark.I pushed open the balcony door a bit. The cold, piercing wind blew in. The chill woke me up quite a bit.It was the important day for the auction of the land in the north of the city today.For this piece of land, I have put in a lot of effort over the past two months. I did a lot of preparatory work.I was determined to get it today.Perhaps because I slept well last night, I found my mood to be quite good after getting up.I carefully applied nice makeup and put on a long skirt with a blouse. I draped a camel trench coat and wore high heels on my feet.When I walked out of my home, the cold wind blew. The trench coat fluttered, making me feel particularly imposing.Wendy was also wearing a skirt today. When we walked into the auction venue in high heels, many people looked at us.T
Alpha Marsh's POVThe noise outside the door finally ceased. I stared at the empty wine glass in front of me as if my soul had been sucked out. I was dazed for a long time.Then, as if driven by some invisible force, I leaned over to pick up the decanter nearby.I poured the remaining wine into the glass like a burst flood. Then, I tilted my head back, letting the spicy liquid ravage my throat like fire. I drained it in one go.The words Olivia spoke at noon were like an extremely sharp silver blade.They were more lethal than the slap she gave me. They were deeply engraved in my mind.Even now, those words still lingered in my ears as clearly as if it was etched deep into my soul."Alpha Marsh, you make me sick!""Everyone makes mistakes when they are young. I had a naive youth, as well. So I also strayed. I admit that I once had deep feelings for you, Alpha Marsh. But that does not mean I still harbor any affection for you no
Olivia's POVThinking back now, I was really foolish."How do you know Alpha Marsh found the painting? Didn't you say you threw it in the trash?" Hannah pressed on.Actually, I didn't want to mention those annoying things that happened at noon. But since Hannah asked, I hesitated for a while and decided to tell her. "I happened to run into him at noon. He mentioned the painting.""Damn it! Alpha Marsh is such a jerk! Where does he get off? He's always doing things that make people look down on him!" Hannah was so angry that her voice trembled slightly.I could almost imagine her on the other end of the phone. She must be so angry that her hair stood on end.It seemed like she wished she could run to Alpha Marsh right now and slap him to relieve her anger.At noon, I was indeed furious and felt terrible. I almost lost control and cried in front of Alpha Marsh.But now, listening to Hannah scolding Alpha Marsh on the phone, I was
Olivia's POVIn the somewhat private space of the car, I turned my head to look at Alpha Zander.Finally, I couldn't suppress my curiosity and asked softly, "Are you curious?"Hearing my words, Alpha Zander's lips curled up slightly. It outlined a faintly charming arc, "Curious about what?""Whether Leigh is me or not?" I didn't beat around the bush anymore and directly brought up the question in my heart.Just as we approached a red light, the car slowly decelerated until it came to a stop.Alpha Zander slightly turned his head with his gaze falling directly on me. "Does it matter?"Does it matter?This sudden question left me a bit at a loss for a moment.After a brief stupor, I inexplicably laughed. "It doesn't matter."And as soon as my voice dissipated in the quiet car, Alpha Zander's deep and magnetic voice rang out again in my ear. "I'm more curious about when you plan to start a relationship."This
Olivia's POVI didn't refuse, as it was indeed inconvenient to go out in the rain without a car.I was particularly curious about what bet Hannah had made that required me to go to ONE.If Mina knew about this, she would probably argue with Hannah. After all, ONE's boss is a competitor of hers.When I arrived at ONE, it was only a little past eight in the evening. The bar wasn't too crowded yet, but the music was deafening.As soon as I entered, I couldn't help but frown.Hannah saw me from the booth and waved at me from afar. "Olivia, over here! Over here!"I glanced back at Alpha Zander and jokingly said, "Alpha Zander, do you want to play here by yourself for a while?"Alpha Zander glanced at me and replied, "You're really cruel to me."I smiled and explained, "I'm just afraid it will affect your enjoyment here."As soon as I finished speaking, Alpha Zander suddenly approached me. He almost whispered in my ear,
Olivia's POVThe meeting finally came to an end. I felt my mood had completely settled.Compared to those trivial people and matters, the auction of that piece of land tomorrow was the top priority.It was something I had to go all out to deal with.I turned to Wendy and asked, "What's the situation with Cedric?" Cedric was my strongest competitor in the competition for that piece of land. I had Wendy keep a close eye on his movements.Wendy briefly reported Cedric's situation to me, "……So far, no unusual conditions have been detected."I nodded slightly, "I see."Back in the office, I quickly dealt with two urgent documents before packing up and preparing to leave Wonder Group.When I stepped out of the building, I realized it had started to rain outside.There was actually an umbrella in the office, but I was too lazy to run back up and get it at that time.Fortunately, the rain wasn't heavy, so I
Emily's POVAlpha Justin arrived with such haste. His hurried footsteps were echoing in the corridor outside the ward as if carrying an undeniable sense of pressure.He stormed in and left just as quickly. The whole visit lasted no more than five minutes.The ward was once again only Lily and me.The soft "click" of the door closing in that silent space was jarring. My heart tightened."Emily, what should we do?" Lily's voice trembled slightly.Her already pale face was now devoid of color. She looked at me helplessly. Her eyes were filled with confusion and fear.My own thoughts were a chaotic mess. A tangle of thoughts was running wild in my mind.My gaze inadvertently fell on the card on the table. I noticed the edge of it reflecting a faint cold light under the light.A mix of feelings welled up in my heart.50 million was a minuscule amount for the Dawn Pack.Alpha Justin wanted to get rid of us but wa
