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
“Well, I had other choices, but…" Alexander trailed off.Lily put her hands on Alexander’s cheeks and tilted her head to look into his eyes. His face, no matter from which angle, was flawless, "Are you sure no other women were head over heels for you?” Her last sentence was what she thought, and she said it unknowingly.Alexander's eyes sank suddenly. He grabbed her restless hands and pressed her down, "Do you think every woman is as bold as you?"That was true. Indeed, Alexander's conditions were attractive, but only he knew how much he had been through since taking over the family business. In his shoes, he had no time to think about other things.Besides, there was Brittany, who was always happy to drive away the women around him. Although her obsession was tireless, it was better to be bothered by one person than a group of women.Therefore, Alexander never said a word to the ladies Brittany had driven away. They had nothing to do with him anyway. However, the situation was di
Arianna came home after shopping and noticed that only her mother was there. Arianna knew she was explicitly waiting for her."Hi, mom!" She called out smilingly, walked over quickly, and put down the bag in her hand. "I bought two new scarves for Dad, and seeing that the new style looked nice, I bought two for you too. You can try them on to see if you like them." Arianna opened the bag and reached in to remove the scarves."No need for now. Let it go," Eloise said, "Arianna, come here."She motioned for Arianna to sit beside her and ordered the housekeeper to bring over a black truffle cake. Then Eloise waved her hand to signal the other housekeepers to step back. Only she and Arianna remained in the living room.Looking around, Arianna said smilingly, “Do you have something to tell me, mom?”Eloise nodded. Her gentle eyes wandered on Arianna’s face. She raised her hand and gently stroked Arianna’s hair, "My dear, time flies so fast. You've grown so much.""Well, don’t put it t
