Chapter 356


    The staff left after turning on the TV for her.


    Olivia sat there alone, bored with no interest in watching TV, so she perused the magazines on the


    table. Just as she reached for one, Sophie emerged from the other VIP room.


    “Olivia.”


    Sophie’s voice froze Olivia in ce. She turned to face her.


    Sophie approached with a grave expression Olivia had never seen before. “Olivia, you and ude-”


    Olivia’s heart clenched at Sophie’s words.


    She continued, “Olivia, do you realize you’re betraying your marriage by getting involved with ude?


    If our families find out, it’ll cause a storm.”

    engaged to Morgan, Mr. Tyler’s sister. Do you realize the implications?”


    Naturally, Olivia knew that.


    Worried that she wasn’t clear, Sophie added, “Their rtionship was legitimate apart from not getting


    married. ude is considered the Harrises‘ son–inw. Do you know what people will say if you’re


    dating ude?”

    Sophie’s concem was solely for ude and her friend’s well–being–she had no ulterior motives.


    “Soof- Before Olivia could respond, there was a sudden thud at the door. They turned to find a staff


    member standing there, causing Olivia’s heart to lurch with guilt.


    Sophie was also staring.


    The staff member was holding a fruit te. Clearly startled, she gazed at the two of them.
