Chapter 144 Who Needs Olivia to Support Her Business?
#Finished If not for Alexanderâs presence, Georginaâs face would have darkened completely. Alexander willingly accompanying Olivia shopping? What a joke!
Georginaâs expression stiffened slightly, but she quickly masked it by recommending a few pieces of her own jewelry designs to Olivia. âThese are some of my latest creations, including one that won first place in this yearâs Falcrest Jewelry Design Competition,â she said, and tried to calm herself. Thereâs no way Alexander could genuinely like someone as useless and unattractive as Olivia.
Olivia took a look at the pieces. She had to admit, Georginaâs designs were impressive, and the jewelry was undeniably exquisite.
Georginaâs eyes flicked toward Alexander before she breadâup the awardâwinning necklace. âThis pearl necklace might not feature any topâtier gemstones, but itâs my personal favorite,â she said with a meaningful smile.
She turned her attention to Alexander and asked, âAlex do you know why I chose pearls as the main material?â
Alexander didnât respond. Jewelry didnât interest him at all.
Georgina glanced at Olivia before letting her gaze linger on the necklace. âBecause the first gift you ever gave me was a pearl hairclip,â she said softly, as though lost in nostalgia, It was a story meant to evoke memories, but Olivia could sense the words were deliberately aimed at her. âI still remember that year. It was my tenth birthday. It was the first time I celebrated outside my home, at the Wilson Mansion. There were no parents, no relatives...â
Georgina lifted her gaze to Alexander, her eyes brimming with fond remembrance. âThat day, you gave me a pearl hairclip. It made me feel that even in the Wilson family, I wasnât entirely alone.â
With a gentle smile, Georgina continued, âI transformed our shared memories into new creations. Jewelry with a soul, those are the most touching and meaningful pieces.â
Olivia quietly observed Georgina indulging in her own sentimentality, then shifted her focus to Alexander. In her past life, Olivia had been so consumed by jealousy at Georginaâs words that she never noticed. Alexanderâs expression. But now, it was impossible not to see the stark contrast, Georginaâs face was full of emotion, while Alexanderâs remained completely indifferent.
The disparity was... intriguing.
âHoney, why donât you buy me this necklace?â Olivia suddenly suggested.
Georgina cast Olivia a quick glance, a cold smirk forming in her mind. Still canât stand hearing about our shared past, can you?
âHmm?â Alexander looked at Olivia, raising an eyebrow. He didnât think she was particularly drawn to this necklace.
Olivia glanced briefly at Georgina and sighed dramatically. âI never realized Ms. Georgina had such a difficult childhood. Since this necklace is her awardâwinning design, it must be the most expensive piece here, right? Didnât I say Iâd support Ms.
Georginaâs business? Of course, I should choose the most expensive one.â
Georgina froze, utterly stunned. What? Oliviaâs interpretation of her words had taken a completely mevnected nm. Shouldnât Olivis he furione cuer her pact with Alevonder? How harkir enddenlu nimed 1/2 09:46 Wed, Jan 8 A Chapter 144 Who Needs Olivia to Support Her Business?
into a situation where Georgina seemed destitute and in need of Oliviaâs charity?
Finished Without hesitation, Alexander gestured for Henry to pay. Shopping with women was not his forte, and this was certainly a first for him.
Georginaâs lips twitched. Who asked Olivia to support my business? Iâm wealthy enough! Does this woman even understand the implications of what I said?
After the purchase was made, Olivia turned to Georgina with a sincere expression. âMs. Georgina, if you ever face any challenges, feel free to let me know. I certainly wouldnât be as stingy as my husband, giving just a hair clip as a gift.â
