Chapter 68
After Bruce finished speaking, he slowly bent down and approached her.
The shadows of the two people behind him intertwined under the light.
At first glance, they looked intimate and ambiguous as though they were kissing.
Despite Olivia's embarrassment, he approached her again.
She subconsciously wanted to retreat, but she couldn't since there was a wall behind her.
In the blink of an eye, their breathing intertwined.
Their breaths sprinkled on each other's faces gently.
Olivia's heart was beating hard as she saw the attractive devilish face approached inch by inch, and she reluctantly turned her head away.
Bruce saw that the two shadows projected on the ground were about to merge into one.
His eyes lit up and he chuckled, "Don't move, the earrings have fallen off.He reached out and took off an earring from her hair.Apparently, it had fallen off earlier and was caught in her hair.Olivia was left speechless.
‘‘ls my earring the reason why he wanted to get this close to me?’’ She thought.
Naturally, Olivia didn't admit that she was thinking too much, so she grinned sheepishly and said, "Oh, thank you."
"You're welcome."
With the same graceful and dignified posture, he stood up.
However, the smile in his pitch-black starry eyes, gave a hint of wicked charm, making his entire body even more dazzling and eye-catching.
Olivia was terrified she wouldn't be able to stand up and say goodbye if she stared at him like this again.
"I'll return to the banquet hall now.In a while, my father would come looking for me.I should hurry."
"Sure.” Bruce raised his hand and released her.Olivia stood up and left.
The atmosphere was thick when she returned to the banquet hall.
The excitement of the birthday banquet made Master Langston very pleased.
Every descendant who celebrated his birthday received a large red envelope.
Olivia was too lazy to ask about what had happened in the guest room, but given Leonard's absence, it was clear that he had rushed Maggie who fainted to the hospital.
As for Bruce on the hotel's top floor...
To be able to come to the birthday banquet was to put a good face on the Tubman Clan.
Bruce was also quite busy, so he would most likely leave in a few minutes.
Apart from a few minor mishaps, the birthday banquet went smoothly.
At the end of the birthday banquet, the guests left in twos and threes.
Master Langston was stopped by a partner and Olivia waited quietly at the entrance of the banquet hall.
When a woman went out of the banquet hall, she deliberately looked at Olivia.
Her gaze was arrogant, and she possessed the arrogant demeanor that Madam Peterson used to have.
With a sweep of her eyes, she saw the dazzling pink diamond bracelet in Olivia's hand.
The woman suddenly stopped and grabbed Olivia's wrist.
"Why is this bracelet in your hand?" she demanded, her voice raised and her expression serious.
Olivia raised her head angrily and jerked her hand back as the sharp voice pierced her.
"What does Miss Lauren mean by that?"
She asked indifferently. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
‘‘That's right”
“This woman in front of me is North Lauren!’’
At the treasure reward conference some time ago, North deliberately stood up and shouted.
Back then, she had intended to attract Bruce's attention, but who knew that he wouldn't even look at her? He would immediately add one hundred million dollars if she added one million dollars! Everything was ruined by that horrible act.
North was triggered that day, and she left with anguish and rage.
North dressed up for Master Langston's birthday banquet and purposefully arrived late, intending to astonish everyone present! But...
Bruce was not there when she arrived.
Because she was late, North only heard that there was a love letter joke in the banquet hall.
Bruce was said to have spoken in public, saying that he liked cooking breakfast, writing love letters, and catching stars.
However, North did not believe it at all.
Many women in LC City wanted to be in a relationship with Bruce, and some of them tried to seduce him.
But what happened? He didn't even touch their sleeves! No woman could ever enter the heart of a man who had never been near a woman.
But at this moment, North couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the dazzling pink diamond bracelet.
"Tell me, where did you get this bracelet from?" she asked, grabbing Olivia's hand tightly.
It was as if someone had stolen it from her.
Olivia thought it was a little absurd, so she said casually, "A handcrafted item purchased for $30 at a stall.Why, Miss Lauren, you want to have it?"
North looked down at the bracelet and shook her head, "Impossible!"
She had never seen anything luxurious since she was a child.
True diamonds and fake diamonds could be easily distinguished.
This one in Olivia's hand was pure and resplendent like a river of stars.
‘How can it be fake?’ Lauren thought.
"Believe it or not.” Olivia turned around and made a clear gesture indicating that she didn't want to be bothered.
However, North refused to let her go, "Give me a price, I'll buy it!"
‘‘This was such an extravagant gesture that she thinks she could smash people with money" Olivia thought.
Olivia immediately refused, "Not for sale."
‘Who said that if someone wanted to buy it, I had to sell it?’
"You…”
North choked, her face flushed with anger.
Master Langston had already returned at this point, so Olivia got into the car and drove away.
Olivia went to class the next day.
At first, Olivia thought that a minor incident had passed just like that.
As soon as she entered the school gate, Jake ran over and said out of breath, "Olivia, something happened to your little sister."
In the entire school, Ashley was the only one who could be called her little sister.
Under Jake's lead, Olivia followed him to the playground.
Along the way, Jake also explained, "Someone came to the school this morning to look for you.They said a lot of horrible things and wanted to rip your books from your locker to pieces.Ashley stopped them, and they dragged her away when they had an argument.’
It happened early in the morning.
Olivia missed the morning class and was an hour and a half late since she drank some wine last night and slept soundly.
In other words, Ashley had been bullied during that period.
Olivia's expression darkened.
Jake continued, "I'm not going to flatter you with this message.Don't overthink things.I'll help you just because you helped me the last time!"
He repeatedly stressed that his tone was a little awkward.
Olivia only replied, "Thank you"
They were already on the playground at this point.
The playground was packed with spectators because it was break time.
Olivia didn't have much patience and strode over to push the crowd away.
Her line of sight suddenly became clear.
On the basketball court of the playground, Ashley's petite figure was hanging in the basketball hoop.
The sun was scorching hot, and Ashley was sweating.
At the same time, her clothes and face were painted with various colors of paint.
Everyone was laughing.
Olivia couldn't laugh.
Her anger instantly surged forth.
The southern breeze was chilly, and her sharp knife-like gaze swept across the dozen or so women who were lounging beneath the tree, enjoying the breeze.
‘‘Those are the culprits’’ She thought.
‘‘And it's North who is the leader of the culprits!’’
