With this thought in mind, Janet felt like she had lost out.

But almost immediately, she realized Olivia's words meant nothing.

Janet responded quickly and said, "Ollie, why would people harm you if you haven't offended them? Your paranoia sure is strong. I heard writers who write too much will start to have delusions. I'm not saying you have mental issues, but I just want to ask, are you too tired? Or are you experiencing a lot of pressure lately?"

Hearing her mother's words, Mavis followed immediately, "Yeah, Ollie, do you have paranoia? Why would people who have no stakes with you want to harm you?"

Olivia flashed a faint smile and said in a light voice, "I also want to know why they want to hurt me when they have no stakes with me."

Olivia's words were pointed directly at Mavis and her mother.

Janet realized something at this time.

That was right. There was no conflict of interest between the two girls. There was really no need for them to do all these just to win Marilyn's favor.

It was because the sense of satisfaction stuck in their minds, or maybe they were accustomed to comparing themselves with them. That was why Janet and Mavis always couldn't help but start a fight with them.

They were enraged and lost their rationality for a moment...

"Alright, since Auntie Janet is unwilling to mention who the person is, then I can't just let other people simply slander me. I'll make it clear in front of everyone today. Even though I stayed at home after graduating, I paid for everything with my money. In fact, I've never asked for money from my parents ever since I attended university." Olivia smirked and looked at Mavis. "Mavis, we went to the same university. Even if everyone else doesn't know, you should know, isn't it?"

"V- you are talking nonsense. How would I know when I don't live in the same dorm as you?" Mavis replied agitatedly.

"Oh, so you don't know about it? Alright then." Olivia shrugged as if she didn't care about it. "Anyway, I've made things clear now. If I hear any more rumors about me in the future, I will sue that person for defamation. Rest assured, I have nothing more than time and money. For my reputation, I will definitely fight to the end."

Fight to the end!

Her last words were impactful.

Marilyn looked at the girl in front of her in disbelief.

Olivia was wearing a slim-fitting dress. Though the brand of the dress wasn't distinguishable, the cutting of the dress made her look slender and attractive.

Since when had this girl, who was even lazy to bat an eyelash, become so brilliant?

However, no one noticed a lean and tall figure leaning against the wall at the entrance.

Sam stared at the girl who was shining among the crowd.

The lights above Olivia's head shone on her fair, delicate face. It seemed like the spotlight was on her when she said she would fight to the end. She looked charming, brilliant, and couldn't be ignored. Sam stood there quietly and did not enter.

At first, he wanted to come and see if Olivia would be plotted against after hearing the conversation between the girls.

As he expected, someone had indeed wanted Olivia to look bad. However, she fought back.

It was only then that Sam realized Olivia wasn't someone who could be bullied easily. If they wanted to harm her, she would fight back.

And what was happening proved Olivia didn't need him to stand up for her.

Surprisingly, Sam felt pleased seeing how Olivia held down the crowd with her confidence.

He really saw a different light in Olivia that day.

Just as he was deep in thought, a voice came from behind.

"Assistant Sorrento, what are you doing?"

It was Weil Arnold from the Arnold Corporation. Weil followed Sam's gaze and saw the girl on the stage. He smiled and asked meaningfully, "Do you know that girl?" Sam pursed his lips and did not reply.

Weil narrowed his eyes and studied

Sam's gaze. He immediately had various thoughts. Then he said, "This girl is gorgeous. Before I came, heard Marilyn Jenkins is holding a birthday banquet here. I guess she's her granddaughter."

"Mm," Sam finally said something.

Weil then said, "Arnold Corporation has a collaboration with the Jenkins family. If you are interested in that girl, why don't I introduce the both of you?" Arnold Corporation was strong and a big company, but it was nothing compared to Yardley

Corporation.

Although Weil was the president of a corporation, he was well aware of Sam's status and position in Yardley Corporation. When he came to talk business with Sam, Weil was the one who lowered himself.

Sam did not regard any of that. He was merely doing his job. However, Weil was afraid he would offend Sam and cost him his business with Yardley Corporation. Therefore, Weil's attitude toward Sam was friendly.

Everyone in the corporate world

knew Maddox had shifted his focus to his wife and children. Moreover, with all that had happened in the past, everyone also came to know he loved his wife dearly. Now that he had a loving family, he barely spent his time in the company.

Sam had been by Maddox's side for many years, and they even went through life and death together.

They were in a superior and subordinate relationship to the outside world, but with careful observation, one could guess their relationship was deeper than that. Having gone through thick and thin together, Maddox easily handed over all the company's projects to Sam. This sort of trust spoke volumes about Sam and Maddox's relationship.

Such trust did not even exist between blood brothers.

Like Benedict Yardley.

Those who climbed the ladders of the corporate world understood those at the top were cunning. They could consider themselves dumb if they didn't understand this. That was why when everyone talked business with Sam, they treated him like how they would treat Maddox.

Therefore, Weil was eager to use this opportunity to introduce Sam and the girl to each other.

It would do him good if the person who called the shots in Yardley Corporation owed him a favor.

However, Sam frowned slightly. He and Olivia already knew each other, so there was no need for Weil to introduce them. It seemed that he wanted to do him a favor.

It was a pity that such a thought would go to waste.

Suddenly, a strange voice came from behind them.

"Mr. Arnold?"
