Chapter 1457
"It's been a while." Olivia remembered the time Calvin helped her, hence the approachable attitude.Now that Olivia was so laid-back talking to others while ignoring the Monroes, Millie spouted meanly, "You do know a lot of men, Ms. Fordham. I wonder who you came with today."Olivia faintly smiled in response. "Why must I come with a man? Can't I come on my own? Are you perhaps self-projecting? You rely on man to climb higher and so you expect others to be the same."Millie noticed that Olivia came empty-handed. There wasn't a bag, let alone an invitation. "Are you here to catfish others? Ms. Fordham, do you know what kind of party this is?"The ladies began whispering to each other. Although the men kept quiet, their eyes on Olivia weren't friendly. "Who said that she doesn't have an invitation? She came with us. We were classmates." Calista stood up for Olivia.Olivia was slightly surprised to see Calista defending her.Still, it was a feeble statement to sell to the bystande
Chapter 1458
Mason waved his hand nonchalantly. "Relax, everyone."His gaze landed on Olivia, and he realized that she was the center of the limelight. "Did something happen?"Tyrell interrupted, saying, "It's nothing big. It's not worth bringing it up. Mr. Heath, don't you have good news to share with us?"Ethan's brows were slightly furrowed. When he came, he clearly saw some people pointing fingers at Olivia. However, he didn't say anything since Mason, someone elderly, was around. Ethan was mature enough to know how to behave.Mason first observed the crowd. Considering how everyone had taken an interest in Molly, he took the liberty to answer Tyrell.He beckoned her over, "Molly, come here."It was quite nerve-wracking for her. She noticed the Kingstons in the bunch. Their eyes no longer held disgust. As for the rest, the majority were strangers to her. Under those watching eyes, she clutched her dress nervously.Mason took the initiative to hold her hand. "New Year's is coming. Oth
Chapter 1459
Everyone's gaze shifted from Olivia to Calista in a heartbeat. She gulped.Mason said gently, "It's alright. Just tell us what you saw."Despite his high status, he was as gentle as an elderly man next door.She looked at Calvin, who was at his wit's end.Chris gave Calvin the opportunity to attend today's party, but it seemed like this could serve as his last party too.Accepting his fate inwardly, Chris prompted, "Go ahead. Tell them the truth."Calista recounted the entirety of the situation.Millie wasn't happy about that. "Mr. Heath, this lady was classmates with Ms. Fordham. Her story could be biased.""Biased? Didn't you insinuate that Olivia earned the right to come because of her sugar daddy? Everything you said hinted that this isn't a place for her. You're relying on your influence to bully her.""Enough." Calvin quickly stopped Calista, his words carrying an undertone."I'm sorry for disturbing your peace with this trivial matter, Mr. Heath. If I had known catchin
Chapter 1460
The Monroe family, which was once a renowned family, ruined their bright future due to their foolishness. Those who had put Olivia in a tough spot were on tenterhooks as well, fearing her revenge.The people's envious eyes morphed into pitying gazes. So what if one could climb high up the ladder in Aldenvine? Things changed and tables turned so fast here.Only one could perch at the top of the pyramid. Mason simply needed one reason to make the Monroes lose everything.Calista looked at Olivia's back in disbelief. "Why is she suddenly one of the Heaths?""This must be a family secret. We won't be able to know. She reminds me of her past self in college—no—she's shining brighter than she did back then."Calista pinched Calvin's arm. "You still have feelings for her?""No way. It's been years. Besides, the feelings I had were simply an attraction to beautiful things. I'm happy to see how things turned out for her."Olivia had suffered a lot in life. She deserved to own every
Chapter 1461
The moment Krystal met Mason's cold eyes, she knew that his paternal love for her was gone.She should've seen this coming, but her heart sank to the pit of her stomach. After all, she was showered with love for so many years. "Dad.""Please mind your words. I'm no longer your father." Mason was being patient with her.He already did her a favor by not skinning her alive after what she had done to Molly.When Tatiana wanted to say something, Krystal knelt before Sherman.No one saw that coming, but Olivia knew what Krystal was plotting right away.The foolish Krystal was finally using her brain for once.Initially, Olivia guessed Krystal's family could be hiding deep in the mountains or had escaped Aldenvine secretly.However, the latter would've been difficult because the first thing the Heaths did was seal all routes. Even if Krystal's family managed to escape out of luck, they wouldn't be able to return to Aldenvine. How could they bring themselves to move away from th
Chapter 1462
Yale gritted his teeth the second Krystal showed up. He was exasperated. The way she treated Molly was still vivid in his head.Mason and Tatiana exchanged glances. They didn't want people to learn of such an embarrassing history for the sake of their reputation.In case it became a topic for water cooler conversation, they kept quiet.Olivia snorted lightly. "She's finally clever for once."Ethan stroked her head, saying, "It's just a matter of time before this happens. It won't make much of a difference.""You're right." Olivia stood still and merely watched.She had no pity for Krystal after what Krystal had done. Not even Krystal's death could atone for her sins.Since Krystal had played her card, it all depended on how Sherman reacted.A tear-stricken Krystal moved to him while kneeling. "Grandpa, if you don't want me either, I'll have nowhere else to go. Please take pity on me. Take pity on your grandson. He's three months old."Her plea was no different from putting She
Chapter 1463
There was no free lunch in this world.Krystal thought that the Kingstons would take care of both her and the baby, but it seemed like they would only take in the baby and drive her away.Yale simply hoped for Krystal and the baby to vanish in thin air.Krystal had already found a way out. Olivia thought it was much better for her to give birth in the mountains than live in a lion's den. Although Olivia was also the precious daughter Jeff adored, she had it rough when they were broke.Unlike Krystal, Olivia could adapt to it.Krystal was bound to meet her demise due to her greed. That was why she was never as smart as Lisa.Still, Lisa had a taste of karma when Krystal stabbed her without hesitation even though she had paved a bright future for Krystal.Olivia swirled her wine glass, her eyes void of emotions. "Long time no see, Olivia. I'm glad to see you today." Calvin and Calista came up to her.Calista bit her lip in guilt when she met Olivia's eyes.She stuttered, "Ol
Chapter 1464
Olivia didn't want to hear a single word of their flattery, and impatience was evident on her face.Noticing her mood, Ethan sat next to her to shield her from the unnecessary conversation.That was how humans worked. When one rose high, people would flock around one; when one became bankrupt, one would lose the friends one thought were close.Olivia thought that there was no need to form unnecessary relationships. True power came from within oneself.She watched Krystal, who was just nearby. She was eating, all puffed up just like how she was in the past.Olivia smiled faintly. "You know, being shameless isn't a bad thing sometimes. What matters is that you achieve your goals."In comparison, Molly behaved timidly due to the environment she grew up in. She suffered a lot with the Kingston family.Ethan took a slice of cake for Olivia. "The Kingston family isn't all rainbows and unicorns as Krystal is imagining it to be. It's a lion's den. She'll spend her days crying soon."
