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
"My dear, you know you have a younger brother...""I don't have a brother!" Interrupting her, Arianna said decisively, "Mom, you and Dad have only one kid! Have you forgotten? I don't have a brother!"Eloise was a little tired and gave a faint sigh, "Yes, both you and I don’t want to accept the truth, but your father is determined to bring this son home. What do you think?""It's not the first time Dad wanted to bring them home. If it were that easy, he wouldn't be asking your opinion all the time. Mom, you’re still very important in this family," Arianna turned over and said in a serious tone.Of course, Eloise knew that she was important. If it were not for her importance, Joseph would have divorced her long ago and married that bitch! She kept one blind eye for many years and did not want to make things too extreme. How many men stayed loyal to their wives? As long as he did not go overboard, she could still live well and maintain the stability of life on the surface. Ho
Her words calmed Eloise’s thoughts. That was true. Why did she want to stop him? Let Joseph welcome that wh*re and her child into the family if he wanted to. Eloise could go through with it, as there was no guarantee that everything would go their way. Even if they agreed, Eloise would make sure they regretted it.“Take a step back. If they really came in, they'd still be under your nose. They’ll live the rest of their lives with headaches. Good things don't come easy. They should prepare for the worst!" Arianna said what was on her mind.Eloise, very troubled at first, seemed to have an epiphany. She was smart and only needed a little nudge to figure things out by herself. It was only because it was sudden, making her feel bewildered. She looked at Arianna carefully again. The more Eloise stared, the more she felt she had underestimated her daughter. Eloise kept her eyes on her daughter and felt that Arianna was very similar to how capable she was when she was younger.“My
Lily was mentally prepared but still got a shock when she saw Olivia. There were several scars on her face. Even though she had applied medicine, it was still slightly swollen."Didn't you say that you beat her up?" Lily felt a little embarrassed.Olivia was proud, "Of course! You should’ve seen me beat her up until she was on the floor! She looked so ugly!"…Olivia was triumphant, and when she met Lily's suspicious gaze, she raised her hand to touch her cheek. When she felt the bruises, she subconsciously said, "Tsk!" from the pain.Then Olivia continued, "Hey, it's just a small injury. I accidentally scratched myself. You know, it's inevitable when we're fighting each other, but she’s much worse off than me, so I still beat her!"Olivia was chuffed as if there was a banner to reward her accomplishment. After all, Brittany had a bit of a social background. The last time, she still had Alexander to back her up, but what if she got into trouble again? "I'm fine," Olivia smile
