After glancing at the stage, Christoff yanked Olivia to the side and asked, “What are you doing?”
“What’s wrong?” she asked when she had. calmed down. “Stop playing tricks with me. Were you the one who made the waiter on the stage trip?”
“What does it have to do with me?” “Stop pretending like you don’t know. You think I can recognize Jewel but not you?”
Olivia raised her head to glance at him, starting to enjoy the way he looked when he threatened her from time to time.
With an indifferent tone, she questioned, “Well, I’m just curious why the ruler of Samuel Court pays so much attention to other people instead of thinking about how to make money.”
Christoff answered, “Isn’t that normal? I’ve analyzed every beautiful woman ranked on the top.” Olivia was speechless at that.
“Why did you attack him?” Christoff prodded. “Can you not ask so many questions?” Olivia snapped coldly. Christoff was almost pissed off by her. “Alright. If don’t want to talk about it, let’s leave now.”
“Fine! I don’t want to stay anyway,” retorted Olivia. With that, she turned to leave. Currently, she just wanted him out of her sight to save her from getting upset. However, Sirius caught them leaving, taking them by surprise. “Mr. Stevenson, why don’t you join us for a drink?”
Christoff instantly pulled a smile on his face and wrapped his arm around Olivia’s waist and guided her over to Sirius. “Congratulations, Sir Sirius!”
“I haven’t had a drink with you yet!” Sirius commented. Christoff responded with a smile, “It’s my fault. I should’ve congratulated you.”
After saying that, he glanced at Eugene with a hint of provocation and gloat. With a cold expression, Eugene asked, “May I ask why you’re congratulating me?”
Christoff smiled wickedly, “I’m congratulating Prince Azalea on her birthday! What? Did you think I was congratulating you for almost becoming Sir Sirius’ son-in-law?”
With a blank expression, Eugene remarked, “You seem very concerned about this position If you treat Azalea well, I can help you get together with her.”
Christoff laughed out loud. “I appreciate your kindness, President Nolan, but my heart already belongs to someone else. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Eventually, Sirius grew impatient and instructed, “Azalea, Eugene, please bring the King and Mr. Stevenson to Peony Hall.”
“Yes, Dad,” Azalea replied with manners. Eugene, on the other hand, didn’t reply but merely followed them to Peony Hall.
When they arrived at the hall, everyone took their seats respectively. However, Christoff brought Olivia to introduce her to Eugene, “Margot, this is President Nolan, or Eugene Nolan, the owner of Nolan Group and Promise Island.”
Olivia shook her shoulders awkwardly to shake his arm off, but Christoff didn’t let go. The smirk on his face only grew wider.
“Didn’t you mention him last time?” Olivia glanced at Hayes and purposely looked at Christoff innocently. “I recall that you said Eugene had a girlfriend. Why is he here getting. engaged to Princess Azalea?” Then, she glanced at Eugene.
Eugene frowned slightly, wondering who she was. Why did she look at him like that? Even though they weren’t acquainted, her gaze was. somehow chilly and even carried a hint of melancholy.
For fear that Eugene might recognize Olivia, Christoff quickly put his arm around her shoulders and led her to the couch, saying, “Well… I don’t think it’s a good idea to say this, but perhaps President Nolan doesn’t like his girlfriend that much.”
Looking sideways at Eugene, who had pulled a long face, Azalea quickly clarified, “We’re not engaged. Eugene and I are just friends.”
“But your father adores your friend! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have invited the King and delivered the good news. That means he has regarded you as his own now, Eugene,” said Christoff with a smile.
