Amanda came over with a glass of red wine anda graceful smile, but her outfit for the day was rather odd. She wore a conservative red dress that covered her limbs and neck, and her makeup was particularly strange, with too much powder and her lips so red that she looked like a female ghost.
The woman's intuition told Olivia that she had ulterior motives for Evander and would not simply invite her.
"Sorry, Amanda, I'm not interested in playing cards."
"Then I'll show you around the Glass Palace and give Olivia a free guide."
Is she showing off her frequent visits to the Glass Palace? To be overly attentive for no reason is either a villain or a thief.
Olivia smiled faintly: "Thank you, but you know his temper. If you can't find me, you'll be furious again. There's really nothing you can do about him."
That pitiful little look, that cute tone, all provoked Amanda, who curled up her fingers slightly and felt a bit agitated in her heart, as if no matter what she said, this dead woman wouldn't be fooled, but if she didn't take her to the designated place, the demons would destroy her.
A glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and she sighed: "It seems Olivia has a misunderstanding of me. That's just an excuse."
As they passed each other, she deliberately tilted the glass in her hand and spilled the red wine over Olivia's dress.
She covered her lips and feigned surprise: "Oh, sorry Olivia, I didn't mean it."
Olivia suddenly splashed the red wine on the table in her face and tugged at her lips with a smile: "Sorry, I slipped."
The red wine washed away Amanda's thick foundation, revealing a bluish hue, and she frantically covered her face with her hand, but Olivia still saw it.
"Did Amanda get hit by a car when she left?"
Amanda left in a panic, covering her face. When she returned to the VIP room, her phone suddenly rang. Trembling, she picked up the phone, and a man's terrifying laughter came from inside: "I heard that the Glass Palace has a huge electronic screen. If Amanda's passionate video were shown there, it would surely cause a sensation throughout the country."
Amanda instinctively felt a chill in her feet and pleaded desperately, "No, no, please..."
"All right, I'll give you another ten minutes, or..."
At this moment, he pressed the power button, and on the phone came the voices of men laughing and women cooperating.
It was all that had happened that day that she almost broke down to hear it again.
Olivia had already changed into a spare dress, a long water green dress, which was more elegant and intellectual than the one that was stunning.
Someone gently patted her on the shoulder from behind, and she turned around, her eyes flickering with excitement. To her surprise, it was her best friend Chloe.
They hugged and laughed as soon as they met, very excited.
Chloe quipped, "If General Evander saw me hugging you, would he be jealous of me?"
Olivia blushed: "Even you make fun of me."
"Seeing you held in the palm of the handsome and mighty General Evander, all the women at the party would like to shoot you into a sieve hole, put put put..."
"I felt quite guilty when I first realized I was misleading you with the wrong information, but now I'm glad to see you so happy," she said.
"Maybe... There must be a predestined arrangement."
"Well, evil people will come to their doom. I heard that Freya was in a mental care facility, and her condition was so bad that she even ate her excrement and urine and self-harmed several times."
Olivia sneered in her heart, and at the same time she had to admire Freya's willpower.
"Oh? I did see her once and didn't think she was that crazy."
"Oh my god, you mean she's pretending to be crazy?"
Chloe suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body stand on end: "She really can pretend. Just thinking about it makes me feel sick."
She lowered her voice at once: "Let me tell you a secret. House of De Rossi originally intended Sterling to divorce Freya, but after Sterling came back from the nursing home, he suddenly gave up the idea and has been visiting her every now and then."
Olivia sneered: "He's only concerned about the family interests. After all, Secretary Rong has recently been dismissed and investigated, and several of House of De Rossi's businesses have been shut down. It's not going to be much better."
"It's said that Secretary-General Rong has offended a big shot, and just a few days ago his ancestral home was smashed to pieces, and it's said that not a single valuable thing was left, which made Aunt Mei so angry that she could hardly stay in bed."
Olivia's lips curled slightly as she thought of the night Evander had left the estate with his men, and that he had been able to do so to vent his anger for her.
Chloe nudged her: "Oh my god, could that be General Evander?"
Olivia neither admitted nor denied it, but changed the subject indifferently: "Is your dad going to reveal your identity?"
Chloe is the illegitimate daughter of MP Xu, which is a secret in the circle. The Xu family usually keeps her under wraps and rarely shows her in public, but now she is openly showing up at the Glass Palace, which is the only reason.
"Huh! It's just to sell me for a good price."
Chloe threw her head up to finish the red wine in one gulp, with a smile on her face, but her eyes were a little red.
Olivia knew very well that it was impossible for a socialite like them to choose their marriage according to their own will. They were mostly the bond linking the interests of two families or the bargaining chips for the exchange of interests within the families. This was the filth beneath the glory and glamour.
She held her hand and comforted her, "What are you afraid of? Isn't there still me? If you have a crush on any young man, just tell me and I'll have General Evander capture you right away and send you abroad. Isn't that delightful?"
Chloe burst into laughter. She was the kind of elegant and charming beauty, and that smile was a thousand kinds of allure.
At this moment, a gaze fell on her, and Olivia, having a sharp sense of the man, blinked at her: "What you say comes true, there's a handsome guy in white looking at you ten meters away."
"What nonsense?"
Chloe followed her gaze, her smile froze for a moment, her figure staggered slightly, and the red wine in her hand spilled onto her skirt.
"Sorry, I'll be back soon."
Olivia had already sensed something was wrong with her, and Chloe was clearly acquainted with the man, who had always been a self-disciplined girl with very few male friends, all familiar to Olivia, but the man looked strange.
When she looked in that direction again, it was empty.
There was a doubt in her heart that Chloe would never hide anything from her and that her behavior today seemed too strange when her phone rang. It was a message from Chloe: Dear, come to VIP Room 306 and zip up my back for me.
She frowned slightly. She was so close to Chloe that she wouldn't send her a text message in that tone. The only possibility was that she was being controlled.
