Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The smile on her face was flirtatious and carried a sense of confidence.
It was strange that Olivia’s mother had not woken up from her sleep that year. Joseph Garcia had sent her to the funeral parlor without investigating, and in the blink of an eye, Hersha had received 20% of her mother’s shares in the Garcia family.
This definitely had something to do with Hersha!
Back then, she had been too young, and her things were taken by others. Now, it was time to take them back!
That mother-daughter pair was unkind to her, so they shouldn’t blame her for being heartless.
“Ha! Olivia, you shamelessly used the dirty method of drugging yourself to climb onto Brian’s bed. Do you think that everyone is as scheming as you are!?” Faced with Olivia’s nonchalant attitude, Sophia lost control and leaned closer to scream at her.
She hated it!
She hated that this woman who was inferior to her in every aspect could actually marry Brian.
“So what if I got someone to tamper with that lamp? If you have evidence, then show it!”
Unlike Sophia’s madness, the corners of Olivia’s mouth lifted as she shrugged. “No.
“It’s a new company. The surveillance cameras haven’t been activated yet, but…” Olivia smiled warmly and beautifully as if she was really just chatting with her younger sister.
She swept her gaze across the venue and used her eyes to signal to Sophia. “I secretly hid a voice recorder. I recorded what you said just now. You can’t get away!”
At that moment, the priest’s voice came from the other side, asking Olivia to proceed with the wedding. She gave a meaningful smile to Sophia and turned to leave.
Sophia’s expression froze. She stared at Olivia as she thought, ‘Impossible!’
Brian looked at the approaching Olivia with a cold expression. He raised his hand to summon Paul. “Go and find out what they said.”
Looking at the dazzling Olivia in the crowd, Brian narrowed his long and narrow eyes. He wanted to know if this wedding was Olivia’s scheme. When his grandfather had seen the pendant, he confirmed Olivia’s identity and asked him to marry her. However, Brian did not believe in such a ridiculous thing.
—
In the extravagant hall, Brian, who was dressed in a white suit, stood tall in front of the priest.
The glass lights reflected on his well-defined side profile. His long and narrow phoenix-like eyes were even deeper because of his inner pair. The perfect curve of his nose was like a dark mountain, and his thin lips pressed down slightly, exuding an aura that kept people away.
Beside him, Olivia was wearing a milky white wedding dress that clung tightly to her body. The deep V collar was embedded with complicated flower patterns, making her look even more majestic. Her starry eyes were smiling, and the arc that curved out was extremely enchanting.
Sophia’s eyes were filled with hatred and jealousy as she looked at this match made in heaven.
She gashed her teeth so hard that she almost broke them so as not to make her expression look hideous. In a little while, she’d make sure that Olivia experienced the worst moment of her life.
The priest looked at Olivia and asked, “Lady Olivia, are you willing to marry Brian?”
“I—”
“Olivia!” An explosive sound came from the door, interrupting the wedding. “I will take responsibility for what happened that night. Don’t marry him.”
Brian frowned tightly as he glanced at the woman beside him. He exerted more strength to hold her hand, and she was in so much pain that her eyes were filled with tears.
Jack’s face was filled with unwillingness and anger. Everyone believed him and felt that this man had an inseparable relationship with the glamorous woman on stage.
When Sophia saw this, she smiled proudly.
The current Olivia was no longer easy to deal with. If she and Brian really succeeded in getting married and her mother lost 20% of her shares, it would really be bad. Therefore, she could definitely not let the two of them get married smoothly.
Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Sophia stepped forward and pretended to be surprised as she covered her mouth and shouted, “So it’s true!”
Seeing her stepsister’s fake appearance, Olivia instantly understood. She rubbed her red wrist, walked to Jack’s side, and smiled.
The cold voice sounded like a devil from hell. “Manager Jack, if you lie, you’ll have to swallow 1,000 needles.”
After saying that, she ignored Jack, whose face had turned pale from fright due to her imposing manner. She turned around and pressed closer to Sophia. “I’m not joking.”
Sophia frowned and said with difficulty, “So you were with Manger Jack the night you didn’t come home? You… You’re about to marry Brian, how could you do such a thing? How can you let President Ford down like this…”
Sophia’s indignant look caused everyone present to criticize Olivia for not being a decent woman.
Paul came to Brian and asked, “Boss, do you need me to go up?”
Brian narrowed his eyes, “No need.”
He wanted to see if this was another act of hers.
As she wished, that man had indeed aroused the anger in his heart.
Olivia suddenly raised her hand and slapped Sophia’s face with a mocking look in her eyes.
Everyone was stunned. Sophia did not expect that Olivia would attack her in public. She covered her face, and her eyes turned red. “You did something so horrible, but I’m not allowed to say it?!”
“I slapped you to let you understand that my husband, Brian, has a reputation that you cannot taint!” Olivia’s gaze was cold as she said, “Everyone here knows that Brian fired Jack and holds a grudge against him. How can anyone believe his words?
“Furthermore, were you doubting me and my husband’s integrity? Sophia, do we need to report to you when we are together?”
Olivia’s words were clear and logical. Moreover, most importantly, who was the person marrying her?
How could Brian, the Tyrant King, allow his fiancée to fool around with another man?
In the crowd, Olivia was neither servile nor overbearing. Her glass-like eyes shone brightly. Brian watched from afar, and his heart skipped a beat. For some reason, he felt that this woman was a little dazzling.
When Olivia said this, her eyes were filled with ruthlessness. The aura she exuded was like that of a queen who had just returned. It was cold and fierce, and it sent chills down one’s spine.
Looking at Olivia, Sophia was stunned. Was this ruthless woman really the Olivia that she had been toying with in the past?
Seeing Sophia’s pale face as if she would die at any moment, Olivia snorted with contempt.
Her bright eyes were filled with mockery as she glanced sideways at Hersha. The dim light from the chandelier splashed onto the ground along her exquisite and round jaw, forming a strange murderous aura.
Olivia was holding a small recorder in her open palm as she mocked. “Although I don’t have the surveillance footage from that night, I do have this.”
Olivia pressed the switch and let out Hersha’s cunning laughter that sounded like a duck that night. The content was what she had said about Olivia for not managing to sleep with Manager Jack.
Everyone looked at the well-dressed Hersha in shock. No one expected such a dignified woman to say such harsh and disgusting words.
She had actually wanted to send Olivia to Jack’s bed!?
This was Brian’s wife!
Facing everyone’s gaze, Hersha wished she could immediately find a hole to hide in. She wanted to snatch the recording device like a crazy person.
Olivia retracted her hand and curled her lips in disdain. Her eyes were filled with ruthlessness. “Don’t be anxious. Remember our bet and pay up.”
Brian did not expect this to be the case!
If he had not been around that day, wouldn’t Olivia and Jack…
An inexplicable wave of anger rose in Brian’s heart, and a vicious look appeared on his face. He took a step forward and grabbed Olivia’s waist. His gaze was as cold as a knife as he looked at Sophia. “She was with me that night. Do you have any objections?”
Brian’s dark eyes were like a bottomless black abyss. Just one look made Sophia’s legs turn to jelly, and she could not say anything.
After seeing this, Brian waved his hand. “Bring the person who disrupted my wedding away and do what my wife said. Feed him 1,000 needles.”
Jack wailed and wanted to beg for mercy, but he fainted from fright before he could open his mouth.
