Chapter 929

“Hmmph!” Olivia rolled her eyes at Jerry with contempt. “What part of her we can't offend? Oh, you

mean the man backing her? This is a Stone family event. I don't think her man has greater power and

influence than Mr. Carlos.”

Jerry didn't understand why his usually astute sister wouldn't take his advice.

His grip on her wrist tightened. “Why won't you listen to me, Olivia? Today's event is way too important

to mess up. I forbid you to cause trouble for her.”

Olivia leveled a gaze at her rebellious brother. Bitter resentment gleamed in her eyes. “Jerry, I'm your

sister! Or has that woman bewitched you to the point that you don't even consider me your sister

anymore?”

“The only reason she could come today was an invitation from Amos, and he's not an idiot!” The

creases on Jerry's forehead deepened as he was suddenly overwhelmed by the feeling that Olivia was

being irrational.

“What does a kid even know? Look at Amos! Did you see how completely bewitched by her he was?

His eyes were fixed on her the whole time. He doesn't care about her identity.” Olivia tried to break free

from Jerry's grip, but her attempts ended in vain. She began to struggle fiercely. “Jerry, let go of me!

You're the one that can't think straight, not me!”

“I'm not letting you go!” Jerry said stubbornly, “I don't want you to humiliate yourself. You're my sister!”

“Hmmph!” Olivia rolled her eyes at Jerry with contempt. “What part of her we can't offend? Oh, you

mean the man backing her? This is a Stone family event. I don't think her man has greater power and

influence than Mr. Carlos.”

Noticing their children quarreling in public, Bridger and Jada hurried over to their side.

Bridger frowned with displeasure and admonished, “Olivia, Jerry, what are you doing? Don't you know

where you are? How can you quarrel like kids? Are you brainless?”

Olivia saw her parents arrive and immediately complained, “Dad, Mom, some woman has Ammy

bewitched. She actually got Ammy to invite her to tonight's banquet. The only reason Ammy would

have done so was to get Mr. Stone's approval of that woman. He's creating an opportunity for her to

marry into the Stone family. If I want to marry Ammy, I'll have to nip this in the bud! I don't know what

spell that woman has cast on Jerry that he's even covering for her and getting in my way!”

Bridger placed a lot of importance on the marriage between the Stone and Jones families. After hearing

Olivia's complaint, he reprimanded Jerry, “Let go of your sister's hand already!”

“Dad, I have to stop her. Or she'll be the one at a loss.”

Raw anger shot through Bridger at Jerry's rebuke. “At a loss? With the Jones and Stone families here,

how will your sister lose? Since you're so confident, tell us about that girl's background then.”

“I...” Jerry mumbled hesitantly.

Bridger freed Olivia's wrist from Jerry's grip and scoffed, “Your sister was right. I think that vixen has

you bewitched! Don't stop your sister from now on. Stay obediently by your mother's side and stop

causing trouble for me!”

Jodo odvised, “Jerry, your sister's morrioge is importont. You're still young, so you're unowore of its

importonce.”

Since his porents put it thot woy, Jerry couldn't come up with ony other woy to persuode them.

However, he refused to give in to them.

Olivio glonced ot the heodstrong Jerry ond blomed Notolie for his rebelliousness.

The hoppier she is, the horder I'll moke her foll.

Notolie's oppeoronce hod ottrocted mony other guests' ottention.

Yondel stood by Notolie's side with o smile os he comploined under his breoth. “Boss, I feel inferior.

You hove the presence of o six-foot-eight person while my height is less thon six foot two. Thot's o

huge difference!”

“Inferior? Whot ore you tolking obout? I con prescribe you some medicine if you feel locking in o certoin

deportment.” Notolie odded, “Chin up, Yondel!”

Without o choice, Yondel broced himself ond continued his front os o proper portner.

At thot moment, Amos elegontly opprooched Notolie with o gloss in hond. With his goze troined firmly

on Notolie, he soid, “Ms. Nichols, it seems like you olwoys surprise me every time we meet.”

Jada advised, “Jerry, your sister's marriage is important. You're still young, so you're unaware of its

importance.”

Since his parents put it that way, Jerry couldn't come up with any other way to persuade them.

However, he refused to give in to them.

Olivia glanced at the headstrong Jerry and blamed Natalie for his rebelliousness.

The happier she is, the harder I'll make her fall.

Natalie's appearance had attracted many other guests' attention.

Yandel stood by Natalie's side with a smile as he complained under his breath. “Boss, I feel inferior.

You have the presence of a six-foot-eight person while my height is less than six foot two. That's a

huge difference!”

“Inferior? What are you talking about? I can prescribe you some medicine if you feel lacking in a certain

department.” Natalie added, “Chin up, Yandel!”

Without a choice, Yandel braced himself and continued his front as a proper partner.

At that moment, Amos elegantly approached Natalie with a glass in hand. With his gaze trained firmly

on Natalie, he said, “Ms. Nichols, it seems like you always surprise me every time we meet.”
