Chapter 968 The Start Of The Night
Olivia wore a glamorous white gown for the special occasion. The dress carved out her hourglass body shape exquisitely, accentuating her slim waist.
With her immaculate makeup, she looked queenly. Her image was fitting for the Cupid series jewelry she carried with her.
As she waited for her time to appear before the public in the private lounge, she could not help but smile while looking at herself.
Jada remarked proudly, “Olivia, you look splendid tonight. No one will be able to take their eyes off you when you host the ceremony later.”
“Thanks, Mom. I will do my best tonight to make you and Dad proud,” Olivia replied. After a momentary pause, she continued with a hint of remorse in her voice, “I hope Jerry could be here though. I know his studies are just an excuse to skip tonight’s event. He’s actually still angry that I refused his request to help Natalie.”
Olivia actually loved his brother a lot. That was why she felt pissed when she saw how Jerry cared about Natalie.
She could not understand how his brother, whom she had loved and cared for over all those years, would take Natalie’s side so readily.
Olivia wanted Jerry to be there so that she could share this moment of achievement with him, but Jerry let his emotion get the better of him and refused to attend. This made Olivia disappointed and upset.
Bridger consoled, “Come on, Olivia. That’s his problem. He’ll understand that blood is thicker than water when he grows older. You’re bright and practical, so just let it be.”
“Yeah, Olivia. This is a milestone for you and for Farrington Jewelry. Don’t let Jerry spoil it for us,” Jada agreed, trying to cheer her daughter up.
Since her parents had assured her, the smile on Olivia’s face resumed, and she nodded in affirmation.
In no time, a knock came form the VIP lounge’s door.
Olivia stood up and reached for the door. It was Amos, who was dressed in a gray tailor-made suit.
Although that suit looked minimalistic, it still looked classy on a gentleman like Amos.
His build was strong, and his legs were long. He was so attractive that Olivia’s gaze was fixated on him from the moment he entered.
“Amos… you’re here,” she greeted shyly as her cheeks flushed.
Bridger and Jada could tell with just a glance that their daughter was interested in that man.
Thus, Jada interrupted, ”Well, I think we’ll make a move first. You two should chat for a bit. We need to check on the arrangements outside.”
With that said, Jada went out with her husband, leaving the young couple alone.
When Olivia saw Bridger winking at her as he stepped away, she knew that she had their blessings already, so after they left, she closed the door behind her.
“Amos, I didn’t know you would actually come. I know I sent you the invitation, but I still wasn’t sure…” she said, circling her arms around his arm coquettishly.
“My dad asked me to come,” Amos replied coldly.
Olivia rested her head on his shoulder and called out softly, “Amos, I know you don’t think I’m the perfect woman for you, but I’ll show you tonight that my family is the best fit for your family. I’m the woman who’s meant for you.”
Amos looked at Olivia’s side profile, but deep in his heart, he could only think of Natalie. Nevertheless, when he recalled what happened to Dream, the look on his face became conflicted.
He did not push Olivia away.
To him, Dream Jewelry was already in a deep mess even before its launch. It was impossible for them to turn the tide.
Despite how much he liked Natalie, this incident had already disqualified her. After what had happened, Natalie could never be on par with Olivia.
Seeing that Amos did not reject her, Olivia felt like their future together was within reach. Her eyes glimmered with joy.
This is great! Everything is just going my way. All my efforts are worth it. You’re totally out of the game now, Natalie. Just go to hell.
Olivia wrapped her arms around Amos’ waist, savoring the moment she had with him. As she enjoyed his warmth, she swore to herself inwardly.
Just you wait and see, Ammy. I will be the star of the night, and you shall see for yourself how stunning your future wife is.
