Chapter 346

When they almost reached the villa. Bettany realized that Elena was not in the car She was very surprised. “Ellis, where’s Elena?”

Ellis turned around and glanced at Bettany. His voice was flat and emotionless “Miss Wayne stayed ta wait for Miss Kelly. Miss Sebastian is a member of the girl group. She can’t leave until the a Han t completely over.”

Bettany was surprised. “Is Kelly coming here too?”

Ellis nodded. “Miss Sebastian will be staying at the villa for a few days”

“I see.” Bettany was deep in thought.

When Bettany arrived at the villa, she quickly returned to her room to rest. Although she had nothing to do at the auction tonight, she had to maintain her composure at all times. She was afraid that the media would take photos of her in a bad state. She had been very nervous, so she was especially tired.

Bettany collapsed on the bed almost as soon as she returned to her room.

After a while, she felt hungry and struggled to get up.

She decided to go into the kitchen and get something to eat.

As soon as she went out of her room, she saw someone coming in and out of the room next door She wondered if it was Elena and Kelly.

Bettany stopped a maid and asked about it.

The maid replied, “They’re not back yet. Miss Sebastian is coming over to stay tonight, so we have to the up the room in advance.”

Bettany nodded. Without much thinking, she walked straight to the next room and took a casual loods However, just by looking at it casually, Bettany could tell the difference.

She had lived in the Smith family’s villa for a period previously. The butler and servants had done their best to take care of her, but the room she stayed in was basically the same as a hotel room. The bed, pajamas, and toiletries were all disposable. The room was pure white without any decora However, Kelly’s room was completely different..

The room was decorated like a home. The bedsheet was warm yellow, and there were dolls beside the pillow. The carpet decorations were yellow, which made the room appear very warm.

That was not all. The cabinet was filled with clothes. Some of them looked like old clothes, but most of them were brand new. Even the tags had not been removed.

Bettany flipped through the tags on the clothes and was stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, the maid explained, “The family head bought these clothes for Miss Kelly”

Did Olivia buy the clothes for Kelly?

Upon hearing what the maid said, Bettany felt some jealousy.

Previously, she had lived in the Taylor family’s place for so many days and had borrowed her daily clothes from Elena. Olivia had never offered to buy her clothes.

Bettany had always been grateful to Olivia. She was grateful to Olivia for saving her from great trouble and for treating her so well.

But now, as Bettany compared what she got with what Kelly got, she suddenly felt less grateful to Olivial ‘Actually, she isn’t that nice to me. She’s even a bit aloof.

‘Perhaps she likes Kelly better!

Realizing this, Bettany suddenly thought of the auction. Olivia asked her what she liked and wanted to buy it for her.

Actually, Olivia wasn’t asking her at all but was asking Kelly. Olivia merely asked her out of courtesy.

‘How hypocriticall ‘If she really wanted to buy something for me, she could’ve just done it. She didn’t need to ask at all!‘

Bettany pursed her lips with a gloomy expression.

She would treat others the way they treated her. From now on, she would keep a polite and distant relationship with Olivia.

She also liked the expensive auction items at the auction just now. Just because she didn’t have money now didn’t mean that she wouldn’t get rich in the future. One day, she would take the first row and raise her sign casually. She would be just like Mr. Alexander, who spent 4 million dollars at will.

When Bettany thought of Alexander, she had an idea and ran upstairs to Olivia.

Olivia was reading in her room. She was a little surprised to see Bettany. “What’s up?”

Bettany sat beside Olivia and held the whistle in her hand. “Olivia, do you really not want this whistle anymore?”

“It’s just a whistle.” Olivia smiled calmly. “I won’t take back what I gave away.”

“Really?” Bettany asked nervously. “What if this whistle is very significant? What if it represents fate or can bring about a huge opportunity? Do you still not want it?”

‘Opportunity?‘

Olivia sneered. Her smile was filled with calmness and pride. “In this world, I’m the only one who brings opportunities to others. No one has ever given me opportunities. Keep the whistle. If you don’t like it, throw it away. Don’t ask me about it again.”

Bettany stared at Olivia and thought to herself, ‘I’ve already asked you, and you’ve expressed that you don’t want this!‘

She held the whistle and left. Coincidentally, she bumped into Daniel, who was holding a glass of milk at the door.

“Mr. Sullivan.” Bettany lowered her head in panic.

Daniel looked at the whistle and suddenly said, “I remember that Mr. Alexander seemed to be asking you about the background of this whistle at the auction house’s entrance just now.”

Bettany got a bit flustered. She subconsciously pressed the whistle against her chest and said nervously, “This is mine. Olivia said she doesn’t want it anymore.”

“I know. It’s just a lousy whistle.” Daniel did not care. “I’m just reminding you that Alexander is a very smart person. Lying and playing tricks on him is a very stupid thing to do.”

Bettany was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, she felt the whistle in her hand burning. She looked up at Daniel with a blank gaze. “Then, then what should I do?”

“What a silly girl.” Daniel understood Bettany’s intention too well. He had no intention of stopping her vanity. After all, it was human nature to get to the top.

He even felt like praising Bettany for being ambitious.

However, it was not a good thing to be ambitious but idiotic.

He tried to enlighten Bettany. “You can play dumb.”

“Huh?” Bettany did not understand.

Daniel sighed and said earnestly, “If you don’t have any ideas about him, stay away from him. If you do, then you can play dumb. You can say that you don’t remember the origin of the whistle. Anyway, you won’t be lying. The rest will just be his own imagination and misunderstanding.”

Bettany’s eyes lit up.

Daniel carefully instructed Bettany. Before he left her, he reminded her, “Remember to be smart and protect yourself.”

Bettany nodded heavily and looked at Daniel with sparkling eyes.

She wondered, ‘Mr. Sullivan is so nice. He’s patient, gentle, and never looks down on me. Even if I’m just an inconspicuous person, Mr. Sullivan pays attention to me and instructs me seriously.

In comparison, Olivia is too aloof and does not care about me at all.

After Bettany left, the gentleness in Daniel’s eyes instantly dissipated, leaving only a hint of mockery.

“Tut–tut, I didn’t expect her to ask for trouble!

‘Is Alexander that easy to fool? He’s unbelievably scheming and smart. On the other hand, Bettany is quite confident in herself.

‘Since she’s so confident, I don’t mind giving her a push, lest that guy keeps pestering Olivia.’

At the thought of how Alexander stared straight at Olivia at the auction, Daniel got furious and upset.

His eyes were filled with hostility.
