Chapter 121 Gift-Giving
Olivia turned to him. “I’m here for their wedding anniversary. I’m allowed to be here, aren’t I?”
“Are you here dressed like that?” Henry asked.
Meanwhile, Olivia smiled and explained, “I just came back from Mom’s grave. I thought I was going to be late, so I came here right away.”
This provoked Henry, and he started yelling at the man with the trumpet, “Stop it! Don’t you see what place this is? Get lost now!”
That man turned to Olivia, who chuckled. “Since the gifts are here, you are free to go.”
As she spoke, she raised her voice and yelled at the four men who were tossing joss money, “Are you all finished?”
That four men with empty baskets responded, “Yes, we are, Miss Maxwell.”
Olivia commented, “Good. You guys can leave.”
At this point, Anna was already getting down from the stage. She pointed at Olivia and yelled angrily, “Olivia, what do you think you’re doing?”
Olivia smirked. “You purposely gave me a call telling me that today is your seventh wedding anniversary. I don’t think I could come empty-handed. So, I’ve decided to give you two-hundred and fifty worth of joss money.”
Very quickly, Olivia was surrounded by people. Looking furious, Florence howled, “Get lost now! Otherwise, we won’t go easy on you.”
Olivia grinned. “Why are you in such a rush? Your son and his wife are such a lovely couple. I’m not done with the gifts yet!” As she spoke, she took her child with her and walked forward only to be blocked by a group of people.
In the event hall, there came another round of heated discussions.
“She’s really here to ruin things!”
“Olivia is really ruthless.”
“I feel that this is too much. Trumpet and joss money—she’s really cursing them!”
“That’s right. In any case, they are still one family. Isn’t this a disgrace to the entire Maxwell family?”
Olivia could not get through the crowd, so she stood there and smirked at Anna. “Anna Maxwell, is this all you’ve got? If you have the courage to provoke me, you should also have the courage to accept the consequences!”
Anna was startled to hear that. Then, she pushed Olivia. “Olivia Maxwell, you better get lost now.”
Olivia caught her wrist and sneered, “Are you afraid that people would discover your true colors and that’s why you aren’t letting me in?”
After that, she proceeded to shout, “Can someone bring me a megaphone?”
When she was done, someone did indeed bring her a megaphone. “Olivia, here you go!”
Olivia subconsciously took it over and saw Marcus’ face. She did not know that he had been around.
She did not say anything but let out a smile.
She held the megaphone in her hand and began talking through it to the crowd inside the venue, “I was invited by Anna Maxwell to attend their wedding anniversary. I feel that since I was coming, I couldn’t come empty-handed. However, it seems like they don’t quite like the gifts I got them. That’s okay, as I have many more prepared for them!”
Then, she looked toward North, who was busy working on a computer, and he gestured to her an ‘OK’.
“Everyone, please take a look at the big screen. I hope the couple will like this gift.”
Hearing this, everyone began to look toward the big screen. Right now, the slides on the big screen moved and the content on it changed right away. It was no longer the lovey-dovey picture of the couple but a video clip of a hugging and kissing scene between Anna and Ben in the airport bathroom.
This shocked everyone.
“Oh my goodness! This is insane!”
“She’s such a disgrace! How could she still tell Hugo how much she loved him on the stage earlier. She’s such a hypocrite.”
“She’s making Hugo look like a fool!”
“Goodness gracious. This is so embarrassing. Why are they even having this anniversary? This is a joke!”
