When Steve Burton’s mother heard the words “Viewing Pavilion,” she knew what Olivia Foster was about to bring up next.
Indeed, she wanted to know who the woman with Steve at the Viewing Pavilion was.
However, she would not let an outsider expose her son’s scandal in front of all these wives of famous families.
These aristocratic ladies were always the spreaders of gossip. If Olivia were to reveal what happened, wouldn’t many people learn that her son was addicted to women, and had engaged in lewd acts with someone at the Viewing Pavilion during Pristine’s Enterprises’ 60th anniversary celebration?!
So, Steve’s mother’s eyes slightly darkened with a trace of displeasure, yet her face maintained a dignified smile as if nothing had changed. She turned her head and interrupted Olivia with a tone that was neither too light nor too heavy, “Olivia, your aunts and I are talking. Can we discuss any matters tomorrow?”
Steve’s mother’s last sentence was a rhetorical question, but it carried the meaning of a declarative sentence.
Olivia hesitated for a moment, her expression showing slight defiance as she spoke up again: “Aunt Burton, don’t you always want to know…”
“Olivia” Aunt Burton interrupted her again with a gentle tone and a smile on her face. Her gaze toward Olivia contained a hint of warning. Then she turned to the aristocratic ladies present and said, “Miss Foster just loves to cling to me and look for me to indulge her every whim.”
Aunt Burton’s disguise remained perfect, the other aristocratic wives didn’t detect any flaws. Listening to Aunt Burton’s helpless tone, they assumed she was truly fond of Olivia, so they took turns praising her.
Aunt Burton waited for everyone to finish praising, turned her head, and said to Olivia, “Olivia, please enjoy yourself at the party.”
Olivia knew that Aunt Burton was asking her to leave, and she could see that Aunt Burton didn’t want her to bring up the Viewing Pavilion incident. Olivia felt a surge of anger stuck in her throat, unable to come up or go down. She forced a stiff smile at Aunt Burton, nodded her head and said obediently, “I understand, Aunt Burton.”
Then she turned around, her expression immediately turning cold as she walked away in her high heels.
Olivia really wanted to vent her anger in her heart, and the most direct way she could think of was to tell Aunt Burton and watch the impression of Ruby Gregory plummet.
However, Aunt Burton seemed completely uninterested in the matter at hand. Olivia glanced at Ruby Gregory, who was chatting with Madeleine in the distance. She pressed her lips together and headed towards an intimate acquaintance from a famous family..
