The banquet was held at the estate south of Launu.

It was just after dawn when Olivia set off. The sky was dyed with a faint shade of blade, and the grayish–blue color had a unique kind of beauty. Mia sat beside Olivia.

She was in a much better state now. She was no longer so nervous that she could not sleep at night as before.

However, it was not a whole lot better. She was still a little uneasy.

She forced herself to maintain her composure and turned to Olivia. “Olivia, follow me when we get there. Don’t be nervous. I’ll take care of you.”

Olivia tilted her head and looked out of the car window at the rapidly passing trees.

Hearing Mia’s words, she rolled her eyes and chuckled. “Okay.”

The Devonstern family’s manor was enormous. The guests‘ cars had to be parked in an empty space specially reserved for parking. Then, the servants would lead them into the banquet hall.

At this time, there were not many guests yet. Daniel Sullivan was discussing something with the Duke in the study upstairs.

Mia brought Olivia to a corner, where they drank wine and chatted.

After a short conversation, there was a commotion at the entrance of the hall.

It seemed like some distinguished guest had arrived.

The people of Gorshire were all very tall. Mia’s view was completely blocked, and she could not see anything.

She raised her hand to stop a male waiter and asked in fluent Gorshish, “What’s going on at the door?”

The waiter stopped in his tracks and replied respectfully, “It’s Athene’s friend, David. Athene seems to care a lot about this friend.”

So it was Athene’s friend.

Mia subconsciously stood on her tiptoes and looked at the crowd. Her eyes flashed with yearning.

Athene was Duke Devonstern’s granddaughter, and she was of noble

birth. Even if Mia did not mix in the socialite circles, she had heard of her name.

She was looking over curiously.

The crowd parted to the sides, and a path appeared. A thin and tall young man walked over.

Mia was stunned.

She slowly retreated and approached Olivia, then asked in a low voice, “Is he looking at me? Oh my god, he’s coming over.”

Olivia sat on the chair, her fingers holding the wine glass. There was no expression on her face, and her gaze was vacant. No one knew what she was thinking.

When she heard Mia’s words, she slowly raised her eyes and looked at the young man, David.

Her gaze did not waver at all. She only glanced at David for a faint moment as if he was just a stranger.

Not seeing Olivia’s surprised expression, David felt a little unhappy.

He strode towards Olivia.

Bruce, who was beside him, could barely keep up with him. He ran a few steps before catching up. “David, where are you going? Athena is still waiting for you upstairs. You’re her dance partner tonight and have to upstairs to pick her up.”

“Olivia!” David ignored Bruce and walked straight to Olivia.

He looked down at her with disdain.

“You’re really here!” David chuckled. “That’s right. You put in so much effort and finally got together with Daniel. A vain person like you wouldn’t miss such an occasion for the world.”

David spoke in Husheni.

The others could not understand what he was saying, but based on his cold expression, they deduced that he did not seem to like this exquisite and beautiful woman in front of him.

Bruce even asked in a low voice, his tone fawning, “David, do you not like this woman? If you don’t like her, I can get the butler to chase her out.”

David ignored Bruce and looked straight at Olivia.

This time, he spoke Gorshish. He tried his best to suppress his emotions, but the fury was still audible in his tone. “Olivia, let me ask you. Did you

report Emma?”

Olivia looked up. “Report her for what?”

“You don’t have to play dumb.” David was furious. “I know you did it. Emma just wanted to apologize to you online. She didn’t want to use public opinion to pressure you. How could you be so heartless as to want her to go to jail?”

David got angrier as he spoke.

He thought of the skinny and pale Emma and compared her to the dazzling Olivia in front of him.

He was trembling with anger.

Why? Why? Emma had suffered because of Olivia, yet Olivia was here attending such an exquisite and fine banquet. Why?

David’s chest heaved violently. His voice trembled uncontrollably as he stared at Olivia with rage.

He only felt that the world was unfair.

“Hmph. She’s glamorous and dazzling, right? Today, I’m going to chase her out like a stray dog and make her the laughingstock of the banquet.

He did not believe that Daniel would still want Olivia after she had made

such a fool of herself.

“Men.” David rolled his eyes and summoned two male waiters. He pointed at Olivia. “I don’t like her. Chase her out. Not just anyone can attend Duke Devonstern’s banquet.”

“Olivia.” Mia approached Olivia. Her voice could not help but tremble. “What’s going on? Do you know him? I heard that he’s Athene’s friend.”

‘Oh no, oh no. Why did such a thing happen again?

I have to find Daniel as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if Olivia is really chased out, it would be extremely embarrassing.‘ Mia thought.

Soon, two male attendants came over and stood nearby, but they did not

move.

Instead, they looked at David.

One of them looked to be of a higher status, and asked, “Sir, did this lady provoke you in any way?”

David ignored the waiter and looked down at Olivia. He said in a

11:52

mocking tone, “If you apologize to Emma, I can let you off today.” Olivia held her wine glass and did not speak.

This argument attracted everyone’s attention, and more and more people swarmed over.

Whispering among themselves, they wanted to know what had happened.

Those who knew some inside information explained in a low voice, “That beautiful lady somehow angered David and made him want to chase her out.”

“Oh my. That young lady is really bold. David is Athene’s friend. I heard that Athene values him very much.”

“It’s obvious that this lady is going to make a fool of herself.”

Seeing that more and more people were surrounding them, Mia was so anxious that her face turned pale, and she was about to tear up.

She grabbed Olivia tightly and whispered, “Where’s Daniel? Where’s Daniel? I’ll go find him.”

As she spoke, she hurriedly turned around and walked out.

She had only taken a few steps when David shouted, “Stop her!”

A male attendant immediately stood in front of Mia and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, Miss. You can’t walk around.”

Mia was anxious. “I’m looking for someone. I’m looking for Daniel Sullivan. We’re with him. You can’t chase Olivia away.”

The male attendant was unmoved.

David curled his lips and took another step closer to Olivia. He said in a nasty tone, “How is it? It doesn’t feel good to be controlled by others, does it?”

“Heh.” He chuckled. “This is nothing. What you’ve suffered is still far from Emma. I’m going to make you…”

Before he could finish, Olivia raised her hand and interrupted him. “You’re too noisy!”

Her tone was slightly irritated.

She did not even raise her head and did not even look at David. It was as if she was merely irritated by an annoying fly.

Noisy?

David’s face turned ashen, and he suddenly clenched his fists.

However, before he could do anything… novelbin

Olivia had already raised her hand and threw a cross–chain into the waiter’s hand. She said coldly, “Chase David out. I don’t want to see him.”

The male attendant caught the chain purely subconsciously,

However, when her gaze landed on the cross on the chain, all the hair on his body instantly stood up.

This was the duke’s token!
