Olivia was never a person who liked to kick someone when they were down.
On the contrary, upon seeing this woman’s embarrassment at this moment, she felt a little sympathetic.
Of course, this sympathy was only before Olivia knew what Ivy had done to Kimberly and what Ivy
would do to Kimberly in the future.
It turned out that when Kimberly was still Katherine, she often behaved in such a way that she followed
Christopher without any sense of existence at all.
This woman was treated better in comparison with Katherine.
Vincent was like a spectator as if he did not know these people.
All this was because he believed that Olivia could handle it.
Furthermore, he was particularly looking forward to seeing a different side of Olivia.
Today’s incident really blew Vincent’s mind. Vincent thought, ‘This little woman is really talented. She is
skilled in both communication and fighting.’
From the beginning, Christopher seldom crossed paths with Olivia. He just knew that Katherine often
went out with her for activities like shopping, traveling, and other things.
However, he was seeing her in a new light today. He did not expect her best friend to be so different,
while Katherine was as meek as a kitten.
The last time he went to court in Dellmoor, he was shocked for a moment at that time.
It was the same today.
Christopher glanced sideways at Vincent, who was watching the fun. Then he looked at Olivia again.
He had to say that they were a match made in heaven, making one instantly think of the phrase “a
stunning couple” when looking at them.
He smiled and said, “As expected. What a stunning couple.”
Then, he changed the topic to the lawsuit from last time,
“I’m telling you, Inferno has been elusive all this while. There are very few people who know her true
identity. How could she suddenly become my competitor? It turns out that Mr. Sullivan has won the
beauty’s heart,” Christopher said.
Just as Olivia was about to retort, the phone suddenly rang,
Thu, 25
The familiar melody indicated that it was her phone that was ringing.

She looked down and sighed inwardly. ‘Kimberly, Kimberly, why are you calling at this time? You’re
really going to give me a heart attack.’
Olivia was a well-known lawyer who had seen all kinds of situations. Especially when she met capable
competitors, she would inevitably encounter some tricky and strange questions.
She was used to such a situation as a duck to water after gaining repeated practical experiences.
She raised her phone in an elegant and dignified demeanor and motioned. “I have to take this call.”
Finally, she calmly walked to an empty corner and answered the phone.
Kimberly thought, ‘By this time, Olivia and Vincent should have arrived in Norham.’
Thus, she called to make sure they were safe.
However, she did not expect that Olivia would not answer the phone even after her ringtone rang twice.
Kimberly was about to lose her patience. As soon as the phone was connected, she spoke in haste.
“Both of you are going to Norham for fun, and you’ve forgotten about me. Don’t you know how to make
a call when you arrive?”
Although it clearly showed that she was annoyed, she was clearly full of concern.
Olivia did not quite hear clearly what Kimberly said at all. She just felt that Kimberly was chattering a lot
to her ears.
Her gaze was still toward where Vincent and Christopher seemed to be chatting about something and
looked as if they were quite engrossed in it.
“Kim, guess who I met in Norham?” When Olivia said this, Kimberly could clearly feel that the former
was surprised.
Kimberly was clever, so naturally, she was able to guess it. Still, she thought to herself, ‘What a small
world.’
She estimated that they should have been in Norham for less than an hour, yet they managed to bump
into each other. Then, she said, “Since you asked me that, it’s pretty close that the person is the one
who I’ve been avoiding for four years.”
Olivia was a little surprised that Kimberly figured it out so quickly.

“It’s Vincent’s fault. Initially, we planned to go back to the Salter residence for lunch. He decided on his
own accord and insisted on shopping in the mall and said that it was impolite to go empty-handed,
which is against his gentlemanly manner,” Olivia said.
Kimberly chuckled and thought, ‘Vincent is really taking it seriously this time. It looks like I don’t have to
worry about him anymore.
She suddenly remembered the case from last time, so she kindly reminded Olivia, “Last time, you and
Vincent caused him a crushing defeat. You have to be careful when you arrive at his turf this time!”
They chatted for a while before hanging up.
Vincent saw Olivia walking toward him after answering the phone. He had almost finished his meal.
They were not prepared to spend more time with Christopher. Besides, Vincent had more important
things to do.
His mother-in-law was the key to whether he could marry Olivia and bring her home as soon as
possible.
It was the first time he came to visit her, so it was important to cater to her interest and leave a good
impression on his mother-in-law.
As long as he won her support and had her on his side, he would be more confident, so that Kimberly
would not always say that he was procrastinating on this matter.
Vincent thought, ‘That’s right. Those three little cuties can already handle things on their own, so I have
to keep up too.
‘Most importantly, when it comes to marriage, the family is indeed putting pressure on
me.
‘My own destiny is in my hands.
The Salter family was also a prestigious family in Norham, although it was not as good as the Sullivan
family.
However, it was still a very good choice.
After all, the Sullivan family had yet to consolidate its interests by marriage of
convenience.
Vincent deliberately appeared very intimate with Olivia in front of Christopher. For some reason,
Vincent just innocently thought that showing a public display of affection. was also a way to intimidate
them.
This meal made Ivy feel superfluous. Unexpectedly, Christopher became very odd in front of
Katherine’s friends. Maybe bygone love was unforgettable to him.
There were hidden feelings that could be perceived from the look in Ivy’s eyes. Ivy thought, ‘Perhaps
he just wants to take this opportunity to find out news about Katherine and get his children back.
‘I wished it was the latter. In that way, at least I still have a chance. Even if he did get the children back, Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
I’m willing to be someone else’s stepmother for his sake and treat those children as my own.
‘However, if it was the former, doesn’t that mean I’ve been working hard to plan for so long, only to see
it all go to waste in the end?’
Upon thinking of this, she really felt like she was going to have a breakdown and freak
out.
However, she could not get angry yet. She had to pretend to be well-educated and sensible.
Upon seeing that Vincent and Olivia had left, Ivy tugged at Christopher and said, “Christopher, let’s go.
Grandpa Maxwell is looking forward to seeing you go over and play a few more rounds of chess with
him soon.”
Although Olivia and Vincent had left, Christopher always felt that Olivia and Katherine kept in touch.
However, this woman was also a cun ning and clever one.
Christopher would have forgotten if Ivy had not reminded him.
He glanced at Ivy, nodded, and said indifferently, “Let’s go!”
Then he walked out with his muscular legs. Ivy was a little behind him in her high-
heeled shoes, so in the end, she had to trot along the way.
