Chapter 371

Three days later, Harris Group held a press conference, during which the PR manager issued a statement. They vehemently denied any allegations of cheating by Mrs. Harris, dismissing the photos as manipulated and clarifying that the man was a close friend of Olivia’s..

The news had a negative impact on the company. Not only did their share prices plummet, their reputation was affected, so they had to put out a statement.

However, the statement failed to convince. The intimate nature of the photos and the flimsy explanation of manipulation left many skeptical, leading to widespread discussion of the company’s PR debacle.

The public reaction formed three distinct camps: one group speculated about Olivia’s alleged infidelity, another pondered her identity, and a third sought to identify the blurred–out man.

The journalists asked all these questions, but the company didn’t answer them. It was all a PR stunt.

Once the press conference was over, the news continued to stir up controversy. Nonetheless, the PR team anticipated that the uproar would soon die down, opting to let it run its course.

Olivia stayed in her room for five days, gradually recovering.

That morning, she went downstairs, where the maids quietly continued their tasks upon noticing her.

Olivia stood there in the grand living room, unmoving and looking sad..

Ana descended the stairs as well. When she saw Olivia had finally left her room, Ana approached her.

Olivia greeted her, “Mom.”

Ana didn’t look happy about this cheating daughter–in–law. After staring at her for a long time, she said, You know what’s happening out there, right?”

Olivia lowered her head.

Seeing her keeping quiet, Ana continued, “I guess I haven’t set enough rules for you, and you have forgotten your place in this family.”

Olivia was still silent as if she had lost her soul.

Ana’s disgust for her grew. “Do you know how this affects our family? I’m giving you one last chance. If this happens again, I won’t be nice about it.”

Olivia could only say, “Okay, Mom,”

Ana then raised her chin and walked into the living room without looking at her.

Olivia pressed her lips together so hard they turned white.

This was when Keith came down the stairs too, and Olivia greeted him, “Dad.”

mahende Cheference bene Keith didn’t look at her and just spoke to the maids, “Prepare breakfast. I need to go out today.”

The maid hurried off to the kitchen, while Keith passed Olivia without a glance.

She felt the chill of his indifference keenly. Uncertain of what to do, she just stood there for a while longer and went back upstairs.
