When she saw Sophie who was standing behind her, Olivia panicked and forced a smile. “Mrs. Zane…”
“Alex, what happened?” Sophiepletely ignored Olivia and walked up to the child, stroking his
cheek.
Mrs. Zane’s tone was gentle, nothing like before when she was so domineering.
Alex didn’t look sad at all. Instead, he looked at Olivia with resentment and answered, “Thisdy lost
her hair clip and happened to see me passing by, so she said that I was the one who stole it.”
Nowadays, young children were all surprisingly mature.
Especially children from orphanages were the most sensitive.
He knew how serious the situation would get if he was used of stealing, and he also knew that
Olivia was quite hostile to him.
Therefore, he did not hide his disgust for Olivia.
Then the director said to Olivia with a fake smile, “Miss Cruise, these children might not have a fancy
background, but we shouldn’t question their character!”
“We can decide where wee from, can’t we, Miss Cruise?” Sophie said in a t tone. She looked
quite calm but her eyes were cold.
Olivia’s body stiffened as she answered, “I didn’t mean to discriminate against their background…”
Sophie obviously didn’t want to hear her out her exnation and said aggressively, “Have you found
it?”
“Not yet…”
“It would be best if we can find it. If we can’t, I’llpensate Miss Cruise at the original price of that
thing. I won’t let Miss Cruise suffer any losses!”
“No, Mrs. Zane, that’s not what I meant…
Sophie didn’t want to listen to Olivia anymore. She held the child whose name was Alex and got up to
leave.
Olivia gritted her teeth and stood still, not knowing what to do.
Meanwhile, Eleanor found an excuse to hide with Rachel.
As soon as they went out, Eleanor couldn’t wait toin, “Is Louis blind or something? He left you
to be with such a trashy woman! He actually wants an idiot to help him get investments. Has he lost his
mind?!”

Back when Old Mr. Smith was still in charge, the Smith family had been at its
peak. At that time, it was about to get as powerful as the Green family.
Unfortunately, Old Mr. Smith fell ill at this critical moment, so the family’s status and strength
plummeted considerably.
“It’s a pity that Old Mr. Smith used to be so powerful and now his descendants are gonna ruin his life’s
work bit by bit,” Eleanor said with a hint of mockery in her
eyes.
“There are a whole lot of people who are both blind and dumb,” Rachel sneered, “I thought that it would
take a lot of effort to get Mr. Zane’s investment. I didn’t expect it to be so easy.”
The two of them locked eyes and smiled. Eleanor said, “Oliviapletely offended Sophie. Now
Sophie will never take her side again!”
They washed the fruits and vegetables again and brought them back for everyone to try.
There was a deafening silence in the room.
“Sophie, quickly try these fruits and vegetables. They are really fresher than the ones we bought. The
taste is also a little different,” Eleanor said at the right time, “Director, I wonder if you can sell us some
when we leave. We’ll pay you at the market price.”
The director smiled when she heard this. “How could I take your money? I’ll get someone to pick some
for you now.”
After that, they sat in the room and chatted while drinking coffee. And then they went to the canteen of
the orphanage to eat.
The director talked about the demolition of the orphanage when Sophie brought it up.
“They ordered us to move out within three months and promised topensate the orphanage 200
thousand dors for the subsequent construction,” the director said, “however, this isn’t about money.
The children are already used to this ce. They can’t bear the thought of having to leave this ce.
Moreover, once we move out, we won’t have any legitimate reason or procedures to continue taking in
these children.”
This meant that these children were about to be homeless.
“Which real estatepany is the other party from?” Rachel asked at the right time.
