Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hersha sized up Olivia after calming down, her eyes filled with ridicule.
“I think you’re still crazy because of the drug. Mr. Brian is like the King of New York City. He’s like God! How can a b*tch like you touch him? He hates women the most, and he doesn’t even fancy our family. Why would he work with us?”
Olivia raised her eyebrows and looked at Hersha. She said word by word, “Not only does he know how to do it, but he also knows how to invest and will marry me.”
Suddenly, wild laughter erupted in the room. Hersha laughed until her stomach hurt. She pointed at Olivia and said, “You must be crazy! To think you can even say such nonsensical things.”
Olivia calmly patted the creases on her sleeves and raised her eyebrows. “Aunt Hersha, do you want to make a bet? If I win, can you give me 20% of our Garcia family’s shares?”
Hersha’s face froze when she heard about the shares, and she became vigilant. How did this little b*tch know that she had the shares!?
When that b*tch, Stacey, had died that year, if Hersha had not manipulated Joseph Garcia, how could the shares have fallen into her hands!?
Olivia wanted to take them back!? No way!
“I’m just worried that you might have been fooled and saw the wrong person. Isn’t it too much to demand a bet now?”
Seeing Hersha’s stiff face, Olivia felt her vision go dark. So what Sophia had said before Olivia died in her previous life was actually true!
“Don’t be afraid! You and I have always been so distant.” Olivia suppressed her trembling body and mocked. “Looks like Auntie Hersha doesn’t dare to bet…”
Olivia’s expression was dark, and her eyes were filled with ruthlessness. She wanted to take back everything that belonged to her and also let these two villains receive the punishment they deserved in this life!

In recent days, the hottest piece of news in New York City was the Ford Corporation’s opening of their new branch company, the opening ceremony of their “Omen” brand.
Olivia let out a shaky breath. Looking at her pale face in the glass mirror, she touched the Holy Cross around her neck. If it wasn’t for her previous life, she wouldn’t have known that she could marry Brian because of it.
Under normal circumstances, Brian would not appear today, but Olivia knew that he would definitely participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
That was because this time, Brian would ‘coincidentally meet’ Mark Glenn and try to rope him in. This was how he would manage to achieve that ‘sensational’ press conference in New York City. It was also because of that collaboration that Brian would prioritize occupying the foreign market.
Olivia’s lips curled into a bitter smile. In her previous life, after that night with Brian at the hotel, she had tried to pull strings for the Garcia family’s benefits and chased after him for half a year.
After sacrificing herself and sleeping with Brian many times, she had finally threatened him to marry her at that press conference. At that time, she had caused him to lose his reputation and delayed the collaboration.
Thinking about it, if it wasn’t for the fact that Sophia had deliberately made her look ugly that morning and had given her the cross pendant, Brian, who was such a proud person, wouldn’t have given in just because of the child.
Olivia raised her hand and caressed her flat stomach. Her eyes were filled with love. She must make Brian marry her willingly and give birth to Mia smoothly in this life.
“Sis, you’re really here! Why did you run away after arguing with Dad? We were so worried…”
A loud voice sounded while the door was suddenly opened.
The moment Sophia entered the room, she saw Olivia, who had specially dressed up. She felt as if there was a fishbone stuck in her throat.
Olivia’s facial features were exquisite and small to begin with, especially when paired with her porcelain-like skin. It was smooth, delicate, and crystal clear as if it had been soaked in milk. It was dazzlingly beautiful.
Sophia clenched her fists tightly while her eyes betrayed a trace of vicious jealousy as she looked at the brilliant Olivia.
‘Damn it! This woman must not be allowed to live!’
Sophia’s expression immediately changed, and she quickly grabbed Olivia’s wrist and dragged her out.
“Sis! Hurry up and follow me. Manager Jack was fired because of what happened last time. He’s looking for you everywhere now. You’ll be in trouble if he catches you! I can help you, let’s hide—”
“Hide?”
Sophia was probably trying to send her to Jack now, right?
Olivia shook off Sophia and gave her a disdainful look. “I’m not the one working with him. Every debt has its own debtor. The person he wants to take revenge on is not me.”
Olivia’s last sentence carried a deeper meaning. Sophia’s face quickly turned pale.
“I have something else to do, so I can’t continue playing with you.” Olivia didn’t care about Sophia’s thoughts as she opened the door and walked out.
Sophia’s face turned green with anger. As soon as Sophia had entered the room, she noticed a nameplate on Olivia’s chest.
Ceremonial attendant?
Sophia was certain that Olivia had never interacted with Brian before. Who knew which random man she had slept with that night!
However, this b*tch must be trying to seduce Brian and want him to marry her.
In that case, Sophia would do everything to embarrass Olivia in front of Brian!

The press conference was bustling with noise, and the cameras were flashing non-stop. The person in charge of the company ‘Omen’ stood awkwardly on stage and gave a speech. All the cameras were aimed at… the audience.
Brian, who was dressed in a silver-gray suit, was lazily playing with his phone on the main platform. The dim light from the screen reflected his handsome face, and his half-length fringe covered his eyes. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and every move he made exuded a natural aura.
There were countless branches under the Ford Corporation, and he had never personally attended any of their ribbon-cutting ceremonies.
Even capturing his shadow was difficult, let alone seeing such the actual person today.
Suddenly, someone turned the camera to the side.
Following that person’s exclamation, everyone turned to look at Olivia, who was holding a bouquet of fresh flowers, their eyes filled with amazement.
No one had expected the ceremonial attendant to be so beautiful. A velvet dress outlined her curvaceous figure, and everyone’s noses started bleeding upon seeing her.
In particular, the Holy Cross pendant exposed at her collarbone was set off by her fair skin, emitting a warm luster that made people drool.
Olivia had always kept a low profile. Everyone’s impression of her was blurry whenever she was mentioned.
The moment Brian saw Olivia, his brows furrowed slightly. His gaze followed her delicate face and slowly landed on the cross.
The assistant beside him reminded him to cut the ribbon. He collected his thoughts, straightened his clothes, and walked toward the stage.
As he walked, his tight muscles were wrapped by the cloth of his suit, and one could feel their hormones raging upon seeing him.
Olivia, on the other hand, felt a layer of apprehension in her heart.
Did Brian know the reason behind this cross pendant? How would he react when he saw her?
Just as Olivia was letting her imagination run wild…
Brian actually walked away right in front of her, without looking back!
What!?
Olivia was a little stunned. She only came back to her senses when the supervisor poked her as she needed to present the scissors.
She lowered her eyes to look at the cross pendant on her collarbone.
Could it be that her posture was wrong?
She brushed her long hair to make the pendant more conspicuous before taking the tray.
It didn’t matter even if Brian didn’t know the origin of this pendant. She still had a backup plan, but there was no turning back now. This show had to continue.
At the same time, a black shadow quickly walked backstage.
The moment he received the scissors from Olivia, Brian mocked in a voice that only the two of them could hear. “Are you addicted to me? The first time was an accident, but this time, is it also an accident?”
