Chapter 228
The banquet was held at the estate south of Launu.
It was just after dawn when Olivia set off. The sky was dyed with a faint shade of de, and the
grayish–blue color had a unique kind of beauty. Mia sat beside Olivia.
She was in a much better state now. She was no longer so nervous that she could not sleep at night as
before.
However, it was not a whole lot better. She was still a little uneasy.
She forced herself to maintain herposure and turned to Olivia. “Olivia, follow me when we get
there. Don’t be nervous. I’ll take care of you.”
Olivia tilted her head and looked out of the car window at the rapidly passing trees.
Hearing Mia’s words, she rolled her eyes and chuckled. “Okay.”
The Devonstern family’s manor was enormous. The guests‘ cars had to be parked in an empty space
specially reserved for parking. Then, the servants would lead them into the banquet hall.
At this time, there were not many guests yet. Daniel Sullivan was discussing something with the Duke
in the study upstairs.
Mia brought Olivia to a corner, where they drank wine and chatted.
After a short conversation, there was amotion at the entrance of the hall.
It seemed like some distinguished guest had arrived.
The people of Gorshire were all very tall. Mia’s view waspletely blocked, and she could not see
anything.
She raised her hand to stop a male waiter and asked in fluent Gorshish, “What’s going on at the door?”
The waiter stopped in his tracks and replied respectfully, “It’s Athene’s friend, David. Athene seems to
care a lot about this friend.”
So it was Athene’s friend.
Mia subconsciously stood on her tiptoes and looked at the crowd. Her eyes shed with yearning.
Athene was Duke Devonstern’s granddaughter, and she was of noble

birth. Even if Mia did not mix in the socialite circles, she had heard of her name.
She was looking over curiously.
The crowd parted to the sides, and a path appeared. A thin and tall young man walked over.
Mia was stunned.
She slowly retreated and approached Olivia, then asked in a low voice, “Is he looking at me? Oh my
god, he’sing over.”
Olivia sat on the chair, her fingers holding the wine ss. There was no expression on her face, and
her gaze was vacant. No one knew what she was thinking.
When she heard Mia’s words, she slowly raised her eyes and looked at the young man, David.
Her gaze did not waver at all. She only nced at David for a faint moment as if he was just a stranger.
Not seeing Olivia’s surprised expression, David felt a little unhappy.
He strode towards Olivia.
Bruce, who was beside him, could barely keep up with him. He ran a few steps before catching up.
“David, where are you going? Athena is still waiting for you upstairs. You’re her dance partner tonight
and have to upstairs to pick her up.”
“Olivia!” David ignored Bruce and walked straight to Olivia.
He looked down at her with disdain.
“You’re really here!” David chuckled. “That’s right. You put in so much effort and finally got together with
Daniel. A vain person like you wouldn’t miss such an asion for the world.”
David spoke in Husheni.
The others could not understand what he was saying, but based on his cold expression, they deduced
that he did not seem to like this exquisite and beautiful woman in front of him.
Bruce even asked in a low voice, his tone fawning, “David, do you not like this woman? If you don’t like
her, I can get the butler to chase her out.”
David ignored Bruce and looked straight at Olivia.
This time, he spoke Gorshish. He tried his best to suppress his emotions, but the fury was still audible
in his tone. “Olivia, let me ask you. Did you

report Emma?”
Olivia looked up. “Report her for what?”
“You don’t have to y dumb.” David was furious. “I know you did it. Emma just wanted to apologize to
you online. She didn’t want to use public opinion to pressure you. How could you be so heartless as to
want her to go to jail?”
David got angrier as he spoke.
He thought of the skinny and pale Emma andpared her to the dazzling Olivia in front of him.
He was trembling with anger.
Why? Why? Emma had suffered because of Olivia, yet Olivia was here attending such an exquisite and
fine banquet. Why?
David’s chest heaved violently. His voice trembled uncontrobly as he stared at Olivia with rage.
He only felt that the world was unfair.
“Hmph. She’s morous and dazzling, right? Today, I’m going to chase her out like a stray dog and
make her theughingstock of the banquet.
He did not believe that Daniel would still want Olivia after she had made
such a fool of herself.
“Men.” David rolled his eyes and summoned two male waiters. He pointed at Olivia. “I don’t like her.
Chase her out. Not just anyone can attend Duke Devonstern’s banquet.”
“Olivia.” Mia approached Olivia. Her voice could not help but tremble. “What’s going on? Do you know
him? I heard that he’s Athene’s friend.”
‘Oh no, oh no. Why did such a thing happen again?
I have to find Daniel as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if Olivia is really chased out, it would be extremely embarrassing.‘ Mia thought.
Soon, two male attendants came over and stood nearby, but they did not
move.
Instead, they looked at David.
One of them looked to be of a higher status, and asked, “Sir, did thisdy provoke you in any way?”

David ignored the waiter and looked down at Olivia. He said in a
11:52

mocking tone, “If you apologize to Emma, I can let you off today.” Olivia held her wine ss and did not
speak.
This argument attracted everyone’s attention, and more and more people swarmed over.
Whispering among themselves, they wanted to know what had happened.
Those who knew some inside information exined in a low voice, “That beautifuldy somehow
angered David and made him want to chase her out.”
“Oh my. That youngdy is really bold. David is Athene’s friend. I heard that Athene values him very
much.”
“It’s obvious that thisdy is going to make a fool of herself.”
Seeing that more and more people were surrounding them, Mia was so anxious that her face turned
pale, and she was about to tear up.
She grabbed Olivia tightly and whispered, “Where’s Daniel? Where’s Daniel? I’ll go find him.”
As she spoke, she hurriedly turned around and walked out.
She had only taken a few steps when David shouted, “Stop her!”
A male attendant immediately stood in front of Mia and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, Miss. You can’t
walk around.”
Mia was anxious. “I’m looking for someone. I’m looking for Daniel Sullivan. We’re with him. You can’t
chase Olivia away.”
The male attendant was unmoved.
David curled his lips and took another step closer to Olivia. He said in a nasty tone, “How is it? It
doesn’t feel good to be controlled by others, does it?”
“Heh.” He chuckled. “This is nothing. What you’ve suffered is still far from Emma. I’m going to make
you…”
Before he could finish, Olivia raised her hand and interrupted him. “You’re too noisy!”
Her tone was slightly irritated.
She did not even raise her head and did not even look at David. It was as if she was merely irritated by
an annoying fly.
Noisy?

David’s face turned ashen, and he suddenly clenched his fists.
However, before he could do anything…
Olivia had already raised her hand and threw a cross–chain into the waiter’s hand. She said coldly,
“Chase David out. I don’t want to see him.”
The male attendant caught the chain purely subconsciously,
However, when her gazended on the cross on the chain, all the hair on his body instantly stood up.
This was the duke’s token!
