There was no sign of Madeline Saunders after hours of waiting, so Olivia turned around to leave.
Feeling irritated, she stomped away in anger and unexpectedly bumped into Charlotte and Fae.
Olivia had always been arrogant and overbearing, so she put all the blame on Charlotte, although she was the one at fault. âApologize to me now!â
Charlotte lifted her eyes and saw a familiar pretty face.
Itâs her! The woman who went on a blind date with Uncle Lochlan.
What a small world.
âWhat? Are you mute?â Olivia stood there with an arrogant expression on her face.
When her disdainful gaze fell on Charlotteâs face, she was shocked. âOh God! What a hideous face.
Were you trying to scare me? You should hide at home. Besides, didnât your parents teach you not to get out about and shock the living daylights out of people?â
Staring at Charlotteâs face, Olivia found her familiar too.
After a while, a look of realization appeared on Oliviaâs face, and she spoke in an odd tone, âOh, are you Lochlanâsâ¦â
Faeâs expression turned grim right away. Apparently, this woman facing them knew Lochlan.
Sure enough, anyone who knows the Fraser family is usually rude and uncultured.
Nevertheless, Fae remained courteous as she did not want to embarrass herself in public. âMiss, sheâs my goddaughter, so mind your words. I saw clearly that you were the one who bumped into her.â
âWho are you, old lady?â Olivia intuitively despised the woman standing beside Charlotte. She canât be a socialite when sheâs hanging out with Lochlanâs foster daughter. I heard from Mrs. Fraser that they kicked this foster daughter out.
But it had slipped Oliviaâs mind that anyone who could get into the Royal Tea House was either wealthy or influential. Non-VIP members were not qualified to step through the door.
âWhat did you say? Did you just call me an âold ladyâ?â Fae had always been beautiful since young, and she became even more elegant over the years. Her beauty had won her countless compliments from anyone who met her.
How dare this girl insult me this way!
Yet, Fae regained her composure in no time. Then she made a call straight away. âManager Lopez, someone is causing trouble here, so please send the security guards to escort her out.â
As the mayorâs wife, Fae did not want to lose her dignity by dealing with this young girl herself.
âHow could you ask the security guard to chase me out of this place? Let me tell you this â Iâm a VIP member! So who the hell do you think you are?â Olivia scoffed with a contemptuous look.
So what if this old lady can come into the Royal Tea House? How rich can she be if sheâs with this poor foster daughter?
She scanned the black suit on Fae, but she could not tell the brand.
It looks like a cheap outfit to me.
She blatantly stared at them with a look of disdain. âIâm surprised that a cleaner can pretend to be a big shot. People like you are only going to clean the washroom for socialites like me.â
âWho are you asking to clean the washroom?â
Suddenly, an icy voice came from somewhere nearby.
Olivia lifted her gaze and saw a slender and tall woman striding over to them in her high heels.
The woman was dressed in a white shirt and a pair of black slim-fit pants, looking smart and professional.
She was exuding a domineering aura from the inside out, which made people feel intimidated to stare straight at her.
Just then, she waved her hand, and a dozen of security guards in black showed up and surrounded the three women.
Olivia snorted at her. âWho are you?â
âIt doesnât matter who I am.â Ashlyn impassively glanced at her heavily made-up face. âYouâre the first person who dares behave so presumptuously and humiliate my sisters at my tea house.â
âWhat⦠What did you say?â Oliviaâs expression froze instantly. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
I heard that Ms. Saunders is the owner of the Royal Tea House.
Then this young woman in front of me isâ¦
Oliviaâs face flushed beet red before turning as pale as a sheet.
Damn it!
Iâm going to take part in the International Piano Competition, and I heard that Ms. Saunders will be a part of the judging committee. I initially came to the Royal Tea House to look for Ms. Saunders, so that I can pay her to give me some guidance.
But now, I have offended these two women, who turn out to be Ms. Saundersâ sisters!
