Chapter 91
The banquet hadn’t started, so people were walking around and looking at the disys.
Calista’s act of calling Olivia out had attracted the eyes of many.
Noticing the frown on Ethan’s face, Marina hastily hooked an arm in his and exined, “Olivia and
Calista were ssmates. They had some grudges in the past. It’d be inappropriate if you meddled in
their business.”
Ethan silently removed his arm from hers and straightened his tie.
Marina didn’t continue the topic or move closer to him.
Instead, she simply reminded him, “Besides, you and Olivia are already divorced. What would people
think if you tried to help her now?
!We’re getting engaged soon, and the hospital is in the middle of preparations. Any rumors about you
will greatly affect Miller Group’s shares. Logically speaking, you should keep your distance from her.”
“Who told you I was going to help her?” Ethan retorted as he left without turning back.
Calista tried to make things worse by pointing at Olivia and dering, “It’s clear that this thief came
without an invitation. Everyone should check their belongings to make sure that nothing gets stolen.”
“Where’s the person in charge? Are you even doing your work? Why is there a thief in here?” The
person who spoke was. Michael Crosby’s son, Shawn Crosby, who’d appeared out of nowhere.
Shawn had never met Olivia before. He simply looked her up and down and said, “Miss, please leave.”
Olivia found it rather amusing. Calmly, she asked, “Why should I leave?”
“Miss, everyone’s seat is based on the amount they have donated. There’s no ce for you here,” he
exined.
“That’s right. Why waste your time exining things to a thick–skinned woman like her? We don’t even
know if she’s been sanitized. Look at the way she dresses! It’d be so embarrassing to stand next to
her!”
Calista had stirred up such amotion. Although no one came at Olivia, everyone’s words were like
knives stabbing her.
Nevertheless, Olivia stood where she was, her face expressionless. Slowly, she said, “I’ve already
donated.”
“You? Heh. How much can you even donate? Five dors? Maybe three dors? Why don’t you tell
us?”
Olivia had never been one to show off, but she was forced into a dead end now and could only say,
“Five million dors.” That made Ethan turn his gaze back to her, a frown gracing his face. He knew
that Olivia wasn’t a materialistic person and wouldn’t bother to lie.
He’d given her ten million dors, and she’d already donated five million dors. What was she
thinking?
“Five million dors? Aren’t you afraid that your nose would grow like Pinhio’s for lying?”
Marina added, “Miss Fordham, please be honest. The truth alwayses out eventually, and your lies
will be exposed. You don’t even have an invitation with you. Stop being pretentious.”
“Who said she doesn’t have an invitation?” “Who said she didn’t donate?” Both Everly and Michael
Crosby spoke at the same time as they rushed into the room from opposite directions.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Michael’s eyesnded on Ethan, and he said, “Long time no see, Mr. Miller. I Imew you wereing,
so I had my men arrange a seat for you. Follow me, please.”
“Thank you,” Ethan said nonchntly.
Michael then rushed over to Olivia and said in a weing tone, “Ms. Olivia, I’m sorry to keep you
waiting.”
The expression on Shawn’s face was simr to that of the people around them. Hastily, he asked for
confirmation from his father. “Dad, did she really donate five million dors?”
Michael stared daggers at his son.“Ms. Olivia has a heart of gold, unlike you, idiot!”
With that, he turned to face Olivia with a kind and amiable look. “Ms. Olivia, I had my men specially
prepare a seat for you. This way, please.”
He was so respectful toward her that everyone couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
This young woman in a down jacket had actually donated five million dors! Was she out of her mind?
To Calista and Marina, Michael’s words felt like a p across their faces, whereas Everly found the
entire thing very satisfactory.
With an expressionless face, Olivia walked past Marina without even stopping to nce at her.
However, Everly purposely stopped for a moment and said, “Ms. Carlton, you’re going to be Mrs.
Miller very soon. Why do you still have to sit behind Liv? And who gave you the guts to make a ruckus
in front of her?”
“Everly… don’t be ridiculous.” Marina seethed, punctuating each word.
Everly raised an eyebrow and said, “Trust me, when you die, I’ll do something more ridiculous in front
of your grave.”
Seeing Marina dumbstruck made Everly’s foul mood disappear instantly. Instead of sitting with Olivia,
Everly decided to stand beside Marina instead.
Without the slightest hint of being shy, she raised her hand and said, “Mister, I’m a good friend of Liv’s;
please get me a seat.
