Chapter 68 Provocation
But Marcus always appeared to be too clumsy to stir up trouble. Whenever he provoked me, he would
only end up making himself mad. And that was exactly what happened at this moment.
So he could do nothing but to embarrass me.
I frowned while looking at the stained suit jacket, “Mr. Thomson, I suggest you should not leave it to
me. Otherwise, you even look worse when standing beside Olivia with a wet suit jacket.”
“Just do it!” the banquet was about to formally begin. Luna got on stage elegantly to deliver opening
remarks. Marcus didn’t want to continue to argue with me. He walked over to Olivia while holding a
te of food and handed over to her.
Olivia turned to look at me when noticing Marcus’s sullen face. Then a provocative and disdainful smile
showed on her delicate face.
I cast an indifferent glimpse at her as reply. While staring at the stained suit jacket, I was rendered
distracted. But then Dennis suddenly approached with a little gift box from nowhere.
He said coldly, “Here is the birthday gift for Mr. Thomas.”
After saying that, he stuffed it on my palm. He frowned while noticing the suit jacket I was holding,
“Whose is it?”
“It’s Marcus’s! I identally stained his jacket just now.” While speaking, I looked at the box, wondering
if he had specifically prepared for it.
He nced at the jacket impatiently and said, “Just dump it!”
The lobby soon turned to be more bustling when Olivia was led to stage with Luna. I squinted, “Mr.
George, why don’t youe on stage with her?”
He seemed to be in a bad mood. So he only replied coldly, “ra, don’t you deem it necessary to
exin your story with Leo?”
If he had asked me the same question about half an hour ago, I would have been patient enough to
give a clear exnation. However, now I didn’t even want to talk to him.
I walked over to a trash can, threw the jacket inside and replied coldly, “There is nothing to exin. The
truth is what you have seen with your own eyes.”
While on stage, Olivia and Luna hugged each other, showing a touching scene of a reunion of blood.
To show her care for her missing girl, Luna announced that she had transferred 50% of her property to
Olivia. Meanwhile, Olivia would start to work in different enterprises owed by Luna so as to grow her
management skills.
Also, Olivia would move into L Community to live with Luna. After all, it was the reunion of their missing
girl. So Samuel also came on stage. With the support of Samuel, one of the powerful in the upper
ss, Olivia would be the one that no one could afford to offense in both Newton Town and Capitar.
Dennis looked quite sullen. But he didn’t intend to start a quarrel in the midst of such an asion. He
held back his bad mood and said, “Dance with meter.”
I sneered, “Well, I suppose now you should dance with Miss Pearson…Oops…now she should be
addressed as Miss Pearson. So I’d better dismiss myself, I reckon.”
“ra!” he grabbed my wrist so hard that I felt a bit hurt. He tried to suppress his anger, “Stop being
willful!”
Being willful?
I almostughed out loud when hearing that. I nodded while looking at him, “Dennis, stop your
sophistry!”

I nced at Leo with my side view, who was approaching. Then I flung my arm to break free from his
grip and walked over to Leo. For me, sometimes an evil would be a better choice thoughpared to
the angel.
Leo squinted with his nted eyes. Seeing me approaching, he smiled, “ra, you have never been so
active to me before.”
I ignored his shady eyes and asked, “When can I leave?”
“Whenever you want!” he shrugged and showed a smile, “Where would you like to go?”
Since he only asked me to attend the banquet, I deemed myself free to leave whenever I wanted as I
had done what he required.
At the thought of that, I lowered my head to look at the box. Then I looked at Luna, who was about to
finish her speech.
I walked over while holding the box. She smiled elegantly when seeing me, “Miss Kennedy, I have so
many guests to wee today. Please forgive me if there''s anything wrong with hospitality.”
I smiled in a formal way, but feeling a bit restrained, “Mr. Thomas, It’s a great honor for me to be
invited. Here is the birthday gift for you. Happy birthday and may your charm be evesting!”
She couldn’t help grinning. I could tell she did have a nice banquet tonight. She took over the box and
replied, “Miss Kennedy, thank you so much for your blessing!”
Samuel, who was taking Olivia to do social talk with other guests, saw me talking with Luna. Then he
whispered to Olivia and they both walked over.
Olivia seemed to be a bit displeased when seeing me. But soon she returned to be friendly.
Though Samuel was in the midst of his mid-life, he still looked tough and majestic with his tall figure.
While looking at me, he appeared to be kind, “Are you ra Kennedy?”
I nodded and replied decently, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Lewis.”
He suddenlyughed out brightly. Then he said to Luna, “This girl does look alike you when you were
young. And I can even feel that her tough nature seems to be simr to yours.”
Luna nodded and smiled warmly, “I feel the same when I saw her for the first sight. I would really deem
you my girl if it weren’t because of the paternity test.”
“So can I just call you ra?” Samuel asked.
I nodded. But something in the past seemed to pop out in my memory. However, it just shed away
because it had been too long ago. I could notice nothing from it but his voice sounded a bit familiar.
“So your parents…”
“Mom, dad!” Olivia suddenly cut in while walking over elegantly on her high heels with a ss of
champagne.
Then she said to both of them, “Uncle Sam is expecting you on the second floor.”
Both Samuel and Luna paused and then looked at me, “Sorry, Miss Kennedy, we have a talk. I am
afraid we need to leave now. Please feel free to tell Olivia if you need anything.”
After saying that, they went upstairs.
Then only Olivia and I were left on spot, looking at each other.
“Miss Kennedy, shall we have a talk?” Olivia beckoned, looking a bit arrogant.
The lobby was still bustling with guest and servantsing back and forth. As I was in a mood, I didn’t
want to talk to her.
I sighed and required, “Miss Pearson, could you please stay away from me? I don’t think we have
anything worth talking.”
“This is the banquet of my mom. Miss Kennedy, where would you like me to stay?” her words sounded
sarcastic.
“Oh, sorry, I almost forget that now your family name is no more Pearson. Instead, now you are Olivia
Pearson.”
I paused and then continued with a smile, “Since you own the ce, I’d better stay away from you,
okay?”
“ra, what’s your offer for your divorce with Dennis?” Olivia stood in front of me to stop me from
leaving, “Dennis is one of the most excellent. And I have been in the top. So only I could be qualified
enough to be his match. But you, ra, will never deserve his love.”
