Chapter 575

Olivia wished she could slap herself in the face.

She took a deep breath. Instantly, her insolent attitude was nowhere to be found and had been replaced by an inferior look. “Ms. Saunders, I’m very sorry. I didn’t know that these two ladies here are your family. Please forgive my ignorance. I didn’t do it on purpose. Silly me…”

“Now that’s a skill that I’d like to learn. You can change your expression at the speed of light in front of my sister,” Fae mocked Olivia in a cold tone before holding Charlotte’s hand.

Then Charlotte instinctively lowered her head to avoid making eye contact with anyone.

I’m so ugly that I startle the people around me.

I shouldn’t have come out. The outside world is intimidating.

But I haven’t seen Ashlyn for so long. Listening to her voice makes me feel warm.

I shouldn’t be so weak that I have to rely on others for warmth and care.

This is too much.

Fae’s mockery caused Olivia to blush in embarrassment.

“Fae, is the girl beside you Charlotte?” Ashlyn averted her gaze from Olivia to the girl standing next to Fae. However, Charlotte kept her head bowed all the time, and her fringe covered her face, so Ashlyn could barely see her appearance.

At that moment, Charlotte wished the ground would swallow her up when she heard Ashlyn mention her name.

Perhaps Ms. Berry will hate this ugly face of mine too. I guess I should get going soon.

“Do you know Lottie?” Fae asked in surprise.

“I’ve been looking for her.” Ashlyn nodded. “But I couldn’t get in touch with her for a long time, so I’m worried about her.”

“Ms. Berry…” Charlotte’s head jerked up. Is she looking for me? Ashlyn’s words stopped Charlotte in her tracks when she was about to escape from here.

When Charlotte raised her head, Ashlyn caught a glimpse of the scars on her face, and her eyes glinted with shock. Immediately, she gave Charlotte a warm smile. “Lottie, it’s you.”

She reached out to hold Charlotte’s hand and said, “Come on, let’s go to the private room.”

Meanwhile, Olivia was gawking at their interactions. She gulped nervously and wanted to follow them, but a security guard blocked her.

“No outsider is allowed in Mrs. Field and Ms. Saunders’ private room.”

“Mrs. Field…”

Olivia was stunned for a moment. There’s only one Field family in Lake City. Could she be the Mrs.

Field whom I’m thinking about?

Just then, a few rich ladies, probably wives of billionaires, came out of another private room. When they saw Fae, they smiled merrily at her and said, “Mrs. Field, are you here for a cup of tea?”

“How is Mr. Field? Let’s catch up one day when you’re free.”

Fae gracefully nodded her head. “Sure.”

After having some small talk, they went their separate ways.

The few ladies were discussing among themselves as they walked past Olivia, “It’s true that Mrs. Field comes to the tea house frequently as if it’s her second home.”

“Yes. Because she’s very close to Ms. Saunders.”

“I heard that Ms. Saunders will be the judging committee of the International Piano Competition. I wonder if she’ll help out the contestant from the Quickton family.”

“My daughter wants to take part in the competition too, so I guess I should start making friends with Mrs. Field then.”

After listening to all that, Olivia felt her head spin, and she almost passed out.

She’s really the mayor’s wife!

Rumor has it that Mrs. Field likes to keep a low profile.

That’s it for me. I’m so doomed. I’ve officially offended the mayor’s wife.

The Wood Group wasn’t as established as the Fraser family and the Haddock family. But the Wood Group got lucky these years and the business had grown tremendously. Unfortunately, it turned Olivia into a haughty upstart.

What should I do now?

In Ashlyn’s private room.

After Ashlyn heard about Charlotte’s story from Fae, she laughed. “I never expected things to turn out this way. Mr. Joseph actually saved Lottie. Thank you so much. It must have been tough for you.”

Fae smiled in satisfaction. “Fate has brought Lottie and our family together.”
