âMs. Georgina, youâre still single, arenât you?â
Georgina froze slightly, her eyes unconsciously drifting toward Alexander.
âIâve been focusing on my studies and later went abroad for further education. After returning, I established my company, keeping myself busy. I wanted to grow strong enough to stand beside my future partner as an equal, rather than being a burden like a clinging vine.â
Unlike you, who couldnât even eat without needing Alexanders help!
Olivia acted as though she hadnât heard the sarcasm in Georginaâs words.
âWell, that explains it.â
âExcuse me?â Georgina blinked.
Olivia took a bite of fish. âMs. Georgina, you have always been single, so itâs natural that you wouldnât understand the little dynamics of a married couple. Whether or not I can debone fish isnât important. What matters is that Alexander is willing to spoil me.â
Georgina was left speechless.
âSometimes, I really admire someone like Ms. Georgina. Youâre a strong, independent woman who can thrive without a man. Iâm not like you. I wasnât born into a prestigious family. Growing up in the countryside, I didnât learn much.â Olivia sighed, then looked at Alexander with a face full of adoration. âThankfully, Alexander is willing to support me. Otherwise, Iâd be in quite a bind.â
Alexander shot Olivia a glance.
In a bind? Who is the one confidently insisting on divorcing me not long ago?
Georginaâs earlier attempt to present herself as a capable and independent woman to earn the Wilson familyâs admiration was completely undermined.
Oliviaâs words nearly made her choke.
What does she mean by Alexander supporting her? Is she flaunting or insinuating that Iâm undesirable?

Even Liam didnât reprimand Olivia. On the contrary, he seemed to enjoy the interaction, even going so far as to assist Olivia by instructing Alexander to serve her This completely shattered Georginaâs understanding of the dynamics.
After picking at her food, Georgina, who originally planned to stay at the Wilso abruptly decided to leave.
residence overnight, Today, Olivia seemed like a completely different person. She needed time to process everything that had happened.
âMs. Georgina, are you leaving already?â Olivia asked, watching her rise from her seat.
âYes, I have some matters to attend to at home.â Georgina forced a smile.
Olivia immediately got up, grabbing Alexanderâs hand. Darling, letâs see Ms. Georgina off together.â
Georgina seethed with anger beneath her composed exterior. Thereâs no need for that!
Ignoring the resistance in Georginaâs eyes, Olivia cheerfully held Alexanderâs hand and escorted her out the door.
Once Georginaâs figure disappeared from the Wilson Mansionâs grounds, Oliviaâs smile vanished. She immediately released Alexanderâs hand and stepped back three paces, creating a noticeable distance between them.
It was as if the person who had been so openly affectionate earlier wasnât her at all.
Alexander frowned slightly, watching the unpredictable woman before him.
âDonât worry,â Olivia said with an air of righteousness. âWhat I told you earlier is true. I have no intention of clinging to you. I only acted that way to keep Mr. Liam happy. You wouldnât want him to get upset, would you?â
Without waiting for his response, Olivia turned and walked back into the mansion.
