Chapter 6 Hickey

Upon hearing this, Olivia said indifferently, "Why do I need to behave? The people they want to see aren't me." Nancy was suddenly shocked, almost unable to believe what she heard. She couldn't believe that the usually weak Olivia would speak to her in such a tone. "Toby..." Nancy's eyes turned red, but she didn’t say anything. Seeing this, Toby's face was full of displeasure. "Olivia, what's wrong with you? Nancy was planning to pay for your mother's medical expenses and your tuition." Olivia's voice was clear and cold. "I don't need it." Hearing this, Nancy choked up. "Toby, I knew that Olivia would blame me. I can't go on like this…" Toby quickly comforted her. "Nancy, it's not your fault. It's all her fault..." With that, he looked at Olivia and cursed at her. Olivia started thinking about what to take with her later. She did not want to come back to this place anymore. With this in mind, Olivia got up. Before she could leave, a devil-like voice sounded, "Olivia, you are back already?" Hearing this voice, Olivia couldn't help but tremble. Ted Hall walked in. Olivia looked at him. Ted had a tall and slender body. He was wearing a dark suit. He was Nancy's son from her previous marriage. After Nancy married Toby, he took the surname Hall and took over the Hall family's company. Ted said, "Olivia, are you fine with living at school? If you're not, you can move back here." Olivia immediately refused, "No need, I'm fine at school." This place was not her home at all, and she never wanted to come back here again. Ted's gaze fell on Olivia's face, and he suddenly noticed a red hickey, which immediately angered him. "Were you kissed on the neck?" Olivia instinctively covered it with her hand and said, "It's a mosquito bite." Hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed across Ted's face, and he stared at Olivia closely, trying to detect any flaws in her expression. When Olivia met Ted's gaze, she was suddenly startled. His eyes were full of possessiveness. At this moment, the butler hurried over, "Mr. Toby, Mrs. Nancy, Mr. Tres has arrived." Upon hearing this, Ted withdrew his gaze, and the members of the Hall family quickly went to the door. A black Maybach slowly stopped in front of them. It was reportedly the only one of its kind in the world. Milo hurried over to open the car door of the back seat, and a pair of shiny black leather shoes appeared in front of everyone, followed by Alex stepping out with his long legs. ***** Alex was tall and noble, dressed in a high-end bespoke suit, exuding an exceptional aura of maturity and refinement. He emitted a mature and dignified vibe and appeared especially charming. Rosa was immediately drawn to him. She clutched onto Oliver's sleeve and whispered, "Alex is really handsome, even more so than the rumors." Oliver ignored Rosa's words and quickly walked towards Alex. He said, "Alex, this is my fiancée, Rosa." Upon hearing this, Alex's gaze fell on Rosa, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness. After one second, Alex subtly averted his gaze. His gaze lingered on Olivia for a moment before he walked towards the villa. Toby was overjoyed and almost fell to the ground in excitement before Alex. Alex was one of the few most powerful figures in the capital. Toby felt like it was a blessing from heaven for Alex to visit their house. He quickly flattered and followed behind Alex. "Mr. Tres, let's finalize the marriage between Rosa and Mr. Adams as soon as possible. Please come inside." In the living room, Alex sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking relaxed but emitting an aura that warned others not to approach. Alex had a basic understanding of the Hall family's background. To be honest, such a family was not worthy of the Adams family. Nancy held a coffee pot and smiled as she poured coffee for Alex. "Mr. Tres, please have some coffee." Alex ignored her, and Nancy felt embarrassed as she withdrew her hand. His gaze fell on Olivia, noticing the ambiguous kiss mark on her fair neck, causing a slight curl of his lips. Seeing that Alex kept looking at Olivia's face, Nancy's heart stirred, and then she said, "Olivia, go pour coffee for Mr. Tres." Upon hearing this, Olivia was startled, looking up at Nancy. She thought, ‘Is Nnacy doing this on purpose? Is she trying to embarrass me to elevate Rosa in front of outsiders?’ Suddenly, Ted spoke up, "Mom, how could you make Olivia do such a thing? She's not a servant in this house." Nancy said, "I know she’s not a servant, but what's wrong with her pouring coffee for Mr. Tres?" Alex glanced around the living room and said, "Then let Miss Rosa pour me coffee." Nancy hurriedly said, "Mr. Tress, this won't do. Rosa is the second daughter of the Hall family." Alex suddenly said, "If Miss Rosa is a daughter of the Hall family, then isn't Olivia one as well?" His voice was low, cold, and intimidating. Nancy trembled in shock and quickly said, "Mr. Tres, I thought you..." Alex said, "You thought my thoughts were something you could understand?" His voice was icy, his expression grim. Seeing this, Toby quickly intervened, "Mr. Tres, please don't mind her. She's just a housewife who doesn't know how to act in this kind of situation." Then he turned to Nancy and said, "Apologize to Mr. Tres." Although Nancy was unwilling, she understood that she couldn't afford to provoke the man in front of her, so she quickly apologized, keeping her head bowed the entire time. ***** At this moment, Oliver spoke up, "Alex, what do you think of Rosa?" Rosa blushed shyly, not daring to look at Alex. Alex smirked, "Good. Miss Rosa is beautiful and young, quite pleasing to the eye." As Alex spoke, his gaze remained on Olivia's face. Sure enough, Olivia’s expression turned slightly sour. Upon hearing this, Rosa felt delighted. As long as Alex acknowledged her, she would be able to marry into the Adams family in the future. Rosa politely said, "Thank you, Alex." Toby waved his hand, signaling Nancy to leave. ***** As everyone chatted happily, Olivia suddenly felt like she was not needed in the room. She abruptly stood up and walked towards the bathroom. Her eyes were red as she looked at herself in the mirror. She suddenly splashed cold water on her face. Olivia muttered to herself, "Olivia, wake up. You and Oliver can never go back. That man will never be yours again." She stared at her disheveled reflection in the mirror, lost in thought.
