"Name my price…" Olivia seemed to be considering it before she continued with a smile, "I'll need some time to think about it."While she dragged on, she noticed that Brittany was growing impatient and said, "I haven't seen much of the world. What about this? You name me a price, and I'll consider it."At this moment, a look of contempt flashed across Brittany's narrowed eyes.'I was right! She’s in it for the money. I don't understand how Alexander could fall for someone like this! He has seen so many pretty faces. I'd be more convinced if he married a daughter from a renowned family. How can I give up when this is the woman he’s going to marry?!'"One million!" Brittany offered after thinking for a moment with pursed lips.She felt that this price was enough to scare Olivia to death! Olivia was a woman who rented and lived in a dilapidated house that caught fire because of electrical leaks. After working for so many years, she was only an assistant. How much money could she ha
As long as the price Olivia stated was within Brittany's capability, she would agree and send Olivia away as soon as possible.It would be even better if Brittany got Olivia to write a letter saying she was leaving. It would prove that Brittany did not force Olivia to do so, but it was her that got swayed by the money and left. This way, Alexander could see Olivia's true colors."How much do I want?" Olivia frowned. She pretended like she was in a dilemma as she pondered. Then, she muttered, "Two, three, four, five, six…what about 500 million?"Brittany almost spat in shock. She would not believe that this woman dared to name such a price if she had not heard it with her own ears. '500 million? Does this woman think I own a gold mine?!'"Are you kidding me?!" Brittany shot up abruptly. She finally realized Olivia was playing her, and her expression changed drastically. She finally dropped her cheerful front."Of course not! Since you were trying to make a joke, it's only polite if
Screech! Brittany’s sharp fingernails scratched against Olivia's face painfully. Anger began to bubble in Olivia’s heart, but she began to steady herself.'I can't allow her to bully me like this! This is just a fight! We'll see who's scared of who! I'm going to show you who's boss!'At that moment, Olivia noticed a gap between Brittany's demonic claws and quickly reached out to pull her hair.Brittany yelped in pain after Olivia tugged her hair backward. Her tears threatened to fall out of her eyes. "How dare you attack me?!"Ever since she was a child, her parents had never laid a finger on her, let alone outsiders. Brittany had always been pampered and treated like a princess.Back in school, Brittany’s brother, whom she was very close to, would protect her. No one dared to lay a finger on her. Later, she gained a lot of suitors, which she then used to help break her into the entertainment industry. Even the directors dared not speak up to her. Yet, this b*tch dared to pull her
When Edward followed Olivia’s line of sight suspiciously, he was startled by what he saw. "Ms. Oakley?!""Huh? You know her?" Olivia casually asked as she ruffled her messy hair.Edward had no idea how Brittany found this place, nor did he know how she got into a fight with Olivia. Although questions were ringing in his head, he knew it was not the right time to ask them. Instead, he squatted down and helped her up."Ms. Oakley, h-how did you get here?" Edward was at a loss for words when he looked at Brittany's disheveled appearance. It was already bizarre for her to show up here, and now that she had gotten beaten up like this, he could not conjure a proper explanation.Edward was beyond confused."Waa… waa…" Brittany was still wailing. Other than suffering a great grievance just moments ago, her sadness from the past few days had piled up, and she was finally letting it all out.The most important part of this was that Edward was here. If he was here, Alexander must be nearby.
Edward was out of the loop. He held his tongue out of fear of mispeaking."If you didn't know, why are you here to take care of her? Didn't Alexander ask you to do this?" Brittany questioned as she pointed her finger at Olivia."He arranged this, but..."Just as Edward was explaining, Olivia interrupted him. "Did you hear that? Alexander was the one who sent him to take care of me, letting me live in this house. No matter how jealous you are or how much you want to break us up. You won't have the chance!"Olivia shook her index finger at Brittany. Then she rotated her wrist, giving Brittany a thumbs down. That irritated Brittany. She was about to jump on Olivia when Edward stopped her."Miss Oakley, calm down!" He was not very good at comforting people, so that was all he could say. Brittany seemed to have found the wrong person, but for some reason, Olivia opted to mislead and enrage her instead of telling the truth."Okay, I won't do it!" After being stopped by Edward, Brittany
Olivia went to the bathroom to wash her face. When she looked in the mirror, she was a mess. Her hair was tangled and messy. She could even grab a fistful of hair. That woman was ruthless.However, Brittany was also a mess. Olivia had yanked off a lot of her hair, and those punches on her face were hard. That was for her showing off! Moreover, Brittany was Lily's love rival. Helping her friend manage her romantic rival was, therefore, acceptable.Thinking of this, Olivia felt righteous and great. She brushed her hair in front of the mirror, washed her face and neck, and then walked out of the bathroom."Sit down." Edward pointed to the seat in front of him.Olivia pouted, "No need! It's just a small injury.""The injury may not be big, but the number of cases of tetanus infection due to a small injury every year is about 1 in 600,000, and the cases of death due to tetanus infection are...""Fine, I'll put the medicine on, all right?"At first, Olivia's impression of Edward was t
"Why? Isn't Mr. Russell worth the price?" Olivia asked back with a light snort.He did not dare to say that!After giving her the medicine, Edward glanced to see a piece of paper vaguely under the seam of the sofa. He bent down and picked it up to take a look. That was Brittany's cheque which seemed to be blank. He thought about it and slipped it into his pocket."What do you want that for?" Olivia also saw it and asked curiously, "You want to make an offer for her too?"Edward's eyes twitched. What did he need to make an offer for?!"Nothing. It might be useful later," he said lightly."Oh." Nodding, Olivia went to get her phone. "I'll make a call."Seeing her get up and walk into the bedroom, Edward considered it. He should also make a phone call. Brittany made such a fuss there might have more trouble coming in.He was aware of the trouble-making skills of that spoiled lady. He had experienced Brittany’s stubborn harassment before, so it was necessary to warn Mr. Russell."
While Lily was thinking about what to say and if she should ask Alexander, he walked straight toward her. He tapped on his phone several times, put it down, and asked, “Have you heard about Brittany?”Lily was shocked. ‘Why is he always so direct?’Nodding, she said frankly, “I’ve heard about Ms. Oakley, but I don’t know her first name.”Alexander waved at Lily and pulled her to sit down. Then he said bluntly, “ "Her name is Brittany, and she’s Brandon's younger sister. You remember the one who climbed the wall at our house last time and came to mooch food?”"Oh, that guy!" Lily had an impression of who it was.However, these two were quite funny. One climbed the wall and got electrocuted but still wanted to freeload for a meal, while the other came to bribe but found the wrong person. ‘No wonder they’re siblings. Half of their brain is probably empty.’"Don't you want to know who she is?" Initially, Alexander wanted to tell Lily the story, but seeing her lack of interest, he fel
