Olivia didn’t pay much attention to it once she reposted the message. However, she kept receiving phone calls throughout the journey. Most of them were from her relatives and friends sending their congratulations.
Of course, their marriage news was trending on social media within an afternoon. Although Eugene was not part of the entertainment industry and Olivia was not a top celebrity either, their level of attention was similar to that of top celebrities.
Aside from Eugene’s status, the love story between the wealthy president and Cinderella captivated people’s imaginations. Even though Olivia was not precisely a Cinderella herself, the public’s perception of her was nothing more than that of a minor celebrity, and a mother with children.
People were skeptical of Eugene’s clarification, especially after the highly publicized incident involving Olivia and the beggar. However, they refrained from openly expressing their opinions due to Eugene’s intimidation.
Both of them had registered for marriage today. Indeed, this even confused people about what the exact situation was. Eugene might have tried to quell a controversy for a woman, but if it weren’t for true love, why would he risk his lifelong commitment?
Moreover, their words and actions were filled with genuine emotions. Netizens then started to believe what they had been saying all along.
The car came to a steady stop in front of Olivia’s studio. Just as she was about to get out of the car, her phone rang again, and this time it was George.
She was surprised because it was supposed to be late at night over at his end. Why is he calling me at this hour? It can’t be just to send his congratulations, right?
Eugene noticed her hesitation and asked, “Who is it?” Olivia replied with suspicion, “George.” Without rushing out of the car, she swiped her phone to answer. “What is it, George?”
George’s voice came through the phone. “Nothing, I just saw your wedding certificate announcement on Twitter. Congratulations.” Olivia instantly relaxed and she smiled. “Thank you, George.”
George continued, “I wish you happiness forever.”
At that, she responded, “Yes, I will be.”
“There’s something else,” he commented.
“Albert came over today.”
Olivia asked, “For the necklace?”
“He didn’t mention that,” George replied. “He just asked if we were in the medical field and whether we knew a doctor named Bailey. I told him we hadn’t heard of this person.”
She was surprised to hear that. “Why is he looking for Doctor Bailey? What happened?”
“It seems like someone in his family is sick, and he’s quite worried,” George explained. Someone in his family is sick? Who can it be?
Olivia couldn’t remember how she ended the call with George, but an uneasy feeling suddenly surged within her. She anxiously looked at Eugene and said, “Albert isn’t asking for the necklace anymore, but he is looking for Doctor Bailey.”
Eugene looked at her and understood her worries. He held her hand and murmured in a reassuring voice, “Don’t doubt his motives. If you want to help him, just give him a call.”
Olivia didn’t want to admit it, so she explained, “It’s not that I want to help him. I just feel like I owe him a favor, but now that he doesn’t want the necklace anymore, I don’t know how to repay him.”
She spoke rapidly, her words even becoming disjointed in her panic. He hurriedly embraced her, trying to calm her down. “Don’t worry. Just give him a call first. It might not be what you’re thinking.”
Olivia continued, “Do you remember the story Jewel heard from her aunt, Winnie, a few days ago?”
At that, Eugene responded, “I do.”
