Chapter 928 Not Someone We Can Offend
Olivia could feel Amos’ indifference toward her but refused to give up.
“Ammy, are you free on the weekends? I want to learn equestrian skills, and yours are amazing. Can you teach me?”
“I’m busy.” Amos said perfunctorily, “You don’t have to look for me to learn such skills. You’ll learn faster with a proper trainer. However, are you sure a klutz like you that can trip over a flat surface wants to learn equestrian skills?”
Olivia frowned when Amos brought up her leg injuries.
“Ammy, I’m your fiancée. Why don’t you trust me?” Olivia bit her lip. “Our families are close, and we grew up together, so you should know how I feel about you—”
Before Olivia could finish her sentence, she saw the corners of Amos’ lips tugged widely.
What’s wrong with him?
Olivia instinctively followed Amos’ gaze and saw a figure arriving at the entrance.
The woman had fair, smooth skin without a single blemish, her big round eyes shining brightly.
Her thin lips were a stark contrast to her fair skin after being colored red.
A black lacy gown cinched at her waist, showing off her slim yet alluring curves. It was nothing special other than being tailored. However, her wearing it made it seem elegant and expensive.
She didn’t look like a princess. She looked more like a queen or empress.
Being the gentleman he was, Yandel let Natalie’s arm slide through his. Nonetheless, he looked more like her knight who would cut down any obstacles in her path than her partner.
Once he had set his eyes on Natalie, Amos couldn’t tear his eyes away from her.
He knew she was beautiful but never imagined her beauty would stun him after she merely changed into a gown.
Olivia caught the admiration in Amos’ gaze. “Ammy, what is that woman doing here?”
“I invited her,” Amos answered.
“H-Her?” Anger stirred within her. Her chest began to rise and fall intensely. “Ammy, what’s wrong with you? Are you aware of the difference between our statuses and hers? How can you invite her to your father’s birthday banquet?”
“The one that’s wrong is you.” Amos said impatiently, “You’re just my fiancée from an arranged marriage, so you have no right to tell me what to do. Are you still unaware that my consent is the gavel that decides the arranged marriage with the Jones family?”
Amos had only regarded his marriage as a business deal. His opinion was a painful betrayal to Olivia.
“For that woman, you—”
“Don’t address her with disdain.” Amos warned her with a frown, “She’s not someone you can compare to.”
Amos finished the glass in his hand and set the glass down heavily on the table.
He strode away from Olivia’s side coldly.
In contrast, rage flowed through Olivia like lava.
It’s her again! She’s everywhere all the time and keeps ruining all the good things happening to me! Does this despicable and vulgar woman think she could turn into a beautiful swan with just her looks and a priceless gown? The venue tonight is perfect. I’ll tear off that woman’s disguise in front of everyone.
After coming up with a plan, Olivia reached for her glass and walked over to Natalie.
Jerry rushed to Olivia’s side when he saw his sister heading toward Natalie with an air of arrogance. “Olivia, what are you planning to do?” he asked as he grasped Olivia’s wrist.
Seeing Jerry blocking her way, Olivia shot him a death glare. “What about you, Jerry? What are you planning to do to me?”
“Tonight is Mr. Carlos’ birthday banquet. Keep that in mind for whatever you’re planning to do.” With furrowed brows, Jerry advised good-naturedly, “Even though I don’t know her exact identity, she isn’t someone we can offend.”
