Chapter 68

Ana greeted her mother with a smile, “Mom, I brought a guest.”

The old lady scoffed. “I wonder who you've brought this time.”

Ana stepped away after hearing that and turned to the door.

The old lady looked at the person standing at the door with a frown andasked, Who is this?”

Ana wore a cryptic smile and refrained from answering her motherdirectly. Instead, said, “Olivia, come here and meet grandma.”

The old lady couldn't quite decipher Ana's intentions for this surpriseintroduction.

Olivia hesitated for a moment, then, as if programmed, approached theold lady while Ana observed her every move. Olivia mustered thecourage to address her, ” Grandma.”

The unexpected encounter with so many members of the Harris familyin one day had left Olivia feeling overwhelmed.

Ana stepped in to clarify, “She’s Naomi’s sister, Olivia.”

The old lady's initial smile gave way to seriousness. “Naomi'’s sister?”Ana merely smiled and said nothing.

The old lady's demeanor toward Olivia shifted, seemingly influenced byher feelings toward Naomi. Her eyes grew cold as she observed Olivia.“They don't look alike.”

Olivia lowered her gaze, maintaining her composure and allowing thescrutiny.

Ana interjected, “They don't. They share the same father but havedifferent mothers. But she’s much more obedient than Naomi. You'llsee.”

In a high-status family like the Harris's, an obedient and dociledaughter—in—law was preferred. Apart from the fact that she wasNaomi's sister, which the old lady disliked, she admired Olivia'sdemeanor and appearance.

“She does seem obedient,” the old lady agreed.

Olivia found herself watching television with the old lady in the livingroom as the day progressed. Meanwhile, Tyler arrived in the evening.The living room was bustling with activity, with Ana engaged in cheerfulconversation with the old lady.

Tyler, looking somewhat preoccupied, paid no attention to the maid'sgreeting as he entered. His face appeared stern, and his expressionwas cold.

Despite this, the maid made it a point to announce his arrival to thosein the living room, saying, “Madams, Tyler is back.”

Ana glanced towards the door, her smile undeterred. “You're home,Tyler?”

Relieved, Olivia, who had been feeling anxious while standing next tothe old lady, looked towards Tyler as well, her eyes brightening.Dressed in a black suit, Tyler locked eyes with Olivia as he entered theroom. The worry that had clouded his gaze vanished instantly.

Ana approached him and said apologetically, “I'm sorry, Tyler. I shouldhave informed you that I brought Olivia here.”

Tyler maintained his cold expression and replied, "Did you kidnap her?I won't hesitate to call the police if this happens again.”

Before coming here, he had learned that Olivia had gone missing onher way to school. He had nearly called the police until he found outthat his mother had brought Olivia to their family home.

Ana still failed to recognize the absurdity of her actions. She continuedto smile as she said, “You're right, it's my fault. I should have informedyou beforehand if I plan to invite Olivia over in the future.”
