Chapter 372

The end of the year had always been the busiest time in the company. Work had to end. and human relationships had to be made.

In the past, Daniel was unwilling to attend any banquet. Even if he went, he did not bring a female companion. He always brought his secretary.

In a group of couples, he, a loner, looked especially pitiful.

But this year was different. He had a female companion.

Therefore, Daniel accepted a few invitations.

This time, he would attend it with Olivia and introduce her to others officially.

This time, he came to participate in a small family banquet. The host was the previous president of the Chamber of Commerce in Evervale. Although he no longer serves as the president, because of his good character and high prestige, many people still respected him very much.

The people who came to attend the family banquet this time were all famous big shots in Evervale.

Even banquets of this level were very low–key, and the people who came were even more low–key.

Luxury cars drove into the manor one after another.

Although Daniel was young, his status was very important. As soon as Daniel entered, the host, Alfred Roberts, welcomed Daniel and greeted him warmly. After exchanging pleasantries, Alfred turned his gaze to Olivia. “This must be Ms. Taylor, right? You’re really young and outstanding. During this period of time, everyone has been talking about the anti–cancer drugs you made.”

Olivia nodded and chatted with Alfred politely.

After a while, someone else came over. Alfred and the others wanted to talk to Daniel, so they asked Becky Roberts, Alfred’s wife, to bring Olivia to the reception.

room to rest.

On this side, many women were here.

Olivia also saw Bettany in the crowd. Bettany was sitting in a corner and in a daze. It was obvious that she could not join them.

Sensing Olivia’s gaze, Becky looked over and was a little curious. “Miss Taylor, you know Miss Fulham? She comes here as Alexander’s female companion.”

Becky said that Bettany was Alexander’s female companion and there was faint disdain in her tone.

Olivia nodded and did not feel that there was anything to hide. She said directly, “She’s my junior sister.

Painting Association’s Rose Liebsig is our master.”

“Oh, really?” Becky was surprised and a little excited. This was really big news. After realizing this, Becky looked at Bettany with much more enthusiasm.

When the other women heard Olivia’s words, they began to think in their hearts. They began to approach Bettany, intentionally or unintentionally, to talk to her. Their tones and expressions became intimate and passionate as they talked to her. Bettany did not understand what was going on. While she was flattered, she also felt a inttle smug.

She thought, ‘As expected, Alexander’s reputation is great. We are not even married yet, but these rich women are already flattering me.

Bettany enjoyed all of this, but she was also worried that she would show her fear, so she spoke less and nodded more. She smiled at everyone, leaving a good impression on everyone.

A younger beauty in red was a little unhappy when she saw Bettany being surrounded by others. She muttered softly, “She is just from a poor family. It’s not certain if she can marry the Grant family. Is there a need to be so proud now?” “Cherry Evans!” the younger beauty’s mother, Daisy Evans, scolded. She pulled Cherry to a private room and reprimanded her in a low voice, “What nonsense are you talking about? Why don’t you pay attention to this occasion? You don’t have the etiquette and upbringing! Is this how I taught you?”

“Mom.” Cherry pouted. “I just don’t like that Bettany. Why should I? Everyone was rejecting her just now. Why did they start to talk to her in such a short time?” Daisy sighed. She felt that Cherry was really stupid.

She slowly told Cherry about the logic, “Didn’t you hear it just now? Bettany is Olivia’s junior sister.”

“I know. What’s wrong with that?” Cherry was puzzled.

Daisy explained, “The Grant family is very powerful, but Bettany is only Alexander’s female companion.

They are not married yet, so she’s not a powerful. person on the surface. Moreover, with her family background and character, it seems that the Grant family won’t let her marry Alexander. Such a woman like. Bettany is not worth befriending at all. We just have to stay away.

“However, if she is related to Olivia, things will be very different. Olivia is the head of the Smith family.

The Smith family has recently become very powerful, and Olivia is also extremely outstanding. Once the anti–cancer drug is released, her reputation reaches its peak. Moreover, she is also Daniel’s fiancée.

“If Olivia supports Bettany, Bettany will have a high chance of marrying the Grant family. This way, everyone’s attitude towards Bettany will change.”

Cherry understood.

Without a good family background, Bettany would not be able to marry the Grant family, so there was no need to worry.

However, Bettany, who had the support of Olivia, would definitely be able to marry the Grant family. In this way, Bettany would be Alexander’s wife in the future.

Q “Bettany is really lucky.” Cherry pouted. “Not only did she get Alexander’s favor, but Olivia to be her senior sister. How lucky.”

“That’s enough,” Daisy said. “Stop talking. Let’s go out.”

“Okay.” Cherry nodded and asked Daisy, “Mom, can I go over and talk to Olivia later? She’s my idol.”

“No,” Daisy said with a straight face. “Don’t be so rude. Didn’t you see that there were so many people present but no one approached Olivia? Only Becky was talking to her.

“Everyone did not move forward, not because they did not want to curry favor with Olivia, but because they respected Olivia and did not dare to get so close. “Be careful. Don’t go over foolishly and anger Olivia.”

“Got it.” Cherry was very disappointed. Her idol, Olivia, was clearly right in front of her, but she couldn’t approach Olivia.

In the reception room, Becky sat on a separate sofa with Olivia and chatted with her. Beside them, there was a group of people surrounding Bettany and flattering her.

Bettany felt a little arrogant. She glanced to the side and saw that Olivia was alone. with only Becky.

A strange sense of superiority surged in her heart.

Bettany thought, ‘Now, I am the woman of everyone’s admiration. Olivia is already inferior to me.
