Chapter 314 Start Defending Her
Hearing this, Olivia couldn't help but laugh. "Aren't you getting a bit ahead of yourself? We've only been together a few days."
But Evelyn said, "What's so far ahead about it? When you meet the right person, even a quick marriage is fine."
Olivia shook her head. "Stop talking nonsense. After going through one failed marriage, I don't want to be that hasty again, especially since Andrew is so good to me. I need to be more careful.
We just got together. We still need time to get to know each other better.
When we're really sure in the future, I'll make that decision."
Hearing her say this, Evelyn knew she had a point.
After falling into a pit once, anyone would be more cautious. That was natural.
She didn't try to persuade her anymore and obediently replied, "Okay, you have your own thoughts. I won't talk nonsense next time.
But speaking of which, what happened with the Pena family this time was so satisfying!
After seeing what Mr. Hamilton did, people in that Harmony City circle should know how much you mean to him, right?"
Olivia chuckled softly. "How could it be that easy? There will always be people in this world who won't give up, not to mention I'm divorced.
Although I don't care about this, and Andrew doesn't care either, it will be something they use to attack me in the future.
You saw it at last night's party too. Everyone in those upper-class circles thinks highly of themselves and looks down on me for being divorced.
So many people like him, and there will probably be plenty more trying to find opportunities later."
Evelyn thought that made sense and chimed in, "Like that Aurelia?"
Mentioning this person, she seemed to remember something and said, "Last night when I was drinking with Benjamin and Jade, we talked about what happened.
I told them about Aurelia coming to talk to you, and later we all noticed something fishy."
Olivia frowned slightly. "Tell me about it."
Evelyn nodded and said directly, "Saul coming to chat you up might not have been an accident, but deliberately arranged by someone."
Olivia had actually considered this possibility too.
After all, she had been staying quietly in the corner at first, where people generally wouldn't notice her.
Someone like Saul would only appear where the crowd was lively. How could it be such a coincidence that he came to find Olivia right after Aurelia left?
It was too much of a coincidence.
But Olivia was only suspicious. She said, "We don't have any proof."
Evelyn reminded her, "Whether we have proof or not, just be on guard against this woman.
After all, Mr. Hamilton just rejected the engagement with her. I heard she used to think she would definitely be the future Mrs. Hamilton. After last night, she must be very unwilling to accept it.
Plus, that woman acts all high and mighty. Who knows what bad ideas she's thinking up."
Hearing this, Olivia couldn't help but smile. "Then let her think about it. We probably won't have much interaction in the future anyway.
Once Bianca's school enrollment is settled, I'll start working at the research institute too.
I'll be too busy then to worry about other things.
And unless it's necessary, I don't want to attend those kinds of parties anymore."
Upper-class parties were all about fame and fortune.
Olivia wasn't used to it and didn't like it.
Besides, she had thought it through.
Last night, rumors about her spread everywhere.
But the buzz would eventually die down.
As long as she didn't appear in their circles afterward, people probably wouldn't gossip about her and Andrew anymore.
Over time, topics about them would naturally fade away.
Hot topics in the entertainment industry only last a few days at most before settling down, and they weren't even celebrities, so there was even less to worry about.
Evelyn didn't know her thoughts but agreed with what Olivia said.
As long as she and Andrew were happy together, why care about others?
Olivia didn't continue this topic and instead asked Evelyn, "How's it going at the company? Are the people cooperating? Is anyone giving you a hard time?"
"They wouldn't dare!" Evelyn's confidence immediately rose. "I'm still the daughter of the Thomas family. Even if I'm not as capable as my brother, no one dares to make things difficult for me."
"Wait, that's not right..." At this point, Evelyn remembered something annoying. "Alfonso gave me a hard time!
He's too much. Without thinking that I just started, he dumped a pile of work on me.
No wonder he was so quick to let me rest for two days—he was setting me up all along!
That guy is as awful as ever."
Evelyn started cursing.
Olivia was already used to how those two siblings bickered and couldn't help but laugh.
......
At this time, on Andrew's side, he had already returned to the Hamilton Mansion.
At this hour, Finnegan would usually be in the yard playing with his birds.
But today, unusually, he was sitting formally in the main hall, waiting for him to return.
When Andrew entered, he saw his face didn't look good, his eyes full of anger, clearly furious.
Andrew acted as if he hadn't noticed, calmly walking in. After sitting down, he casually asked, "Have you eaten?"
Finnegan's anger, which he'd been building up all morning, exploded. He said loudly, "You still have the leisure to ask if I've eaten?
Are you seriously trying to drive me insane?"
Andrew said calmly, "Where is this coming from? I haven't caused any trouble lately.
I've been going to work properly, going on business trips, and I haven't fed your birds any weird stuff. You're being a bit harsh!"
Finnegan was so angry his temple veins bulged. He scolded, "Stop trying to change the subject. What happened at the party last night?
I heard you publicly announced your relationship?
In front of all those people, you protected a woman and even attacked Saul. That woman..."
Andrew seemed to guess his next words and interrupted to remind him, "She has a name. It's Olivia. You can call her Olivia. She's the person I like."
Being interrupted like this, Finnegan became even more furious. "She..."
Andrew said gently, "Yes, she's excellent. Her medical skills are exceptional. She's the only student of Rodolfo from Medica Vitae Sect and is admired by many military veterans.
Now she's been accepted by the Harmony City Research Institute and will soon become a member.
With her talent, she'll definitely be included in the secret research group in the future!
Having such an excellent girlfriend, Grandpa, don't you feel proud too?"
Andrew's tone was not only gentle but also carried a sense of pride.
Finnegan, who had been composed his whole life, couldn't help but want to curse when he saw this.
He was already defending her?
Did he even still consider Finnegan as his grandfather?
Finnegan kept a stern face. "But she's divorced..."
Before Finnegan could finish, Andrew solemnly nodded and continued, "Yes, Olivia trusted the wrong person before. Her luck was really bad, but that wasn't her fault.
She's very good, just couldn't judge people well and met a heartless man.
That man cheated and even brought another woman and child to show off in front of her, finally pushing her into a corner.
Fortunately, she met me!"
Finnegan couldn't get a word in. Every sentence was interrupted by Andrew. He was so angry his eyes widened, and he grabbed his cane, wanting to hit someone!
He shouted, "She also has a daughter..."
Andrew calmly continued, "You mean Bianca? She's very cute. She used to have autism, so she didn't like to talk or interact with people.
But now, after my treatment, she's almost completely better.
Plus, she's very talented. I taught her painting myself, and Selene taught her piano.
She has great talent. She even won first place in a national painting competition. She's very smart.
Speaking of which, her birthday is coming up soon.
After her birthday, she'll be four years old.
Grandpa, if you accept her, you'll probably like her a lot too."
At this point, Andrew ignored Finnegan's dark expression and directly took out his phone and opened a video.
In the video, the cute and sweet Bianca, in a sweet childlike voice, called to the camera, "Daddy, this is what I painted today. Did I improve?
Daddy, when are you coming back? I miss you."
Finnegan couldn't finish several sentences in a row and was so angry his chest hurt.
He was certain Andrew came back today just to annoy him!
He might as well not have come back at all!
While feeling deeply resentful, he heard the sweet baby voice from the phone, and Finnegan's gaze couldn't help but glance at the screen.
He originally thought, how cute could someone else's child be?
No matter how cute, could she be better than Andrew's own child?
He wanted one with a blood relation!
However, despite his stubbornness, when he saw Bianca appear on the screen, his eyes somehow couldn't look away.
Bianca on the screen was indeed very cute, with rosy lips and white teeth, delicate and beautiful features, like a doll, with chubby cheeks.
When she called Andrew "Daddy" in that soft baby voice, it almost melted his heart!
Because of the complex emotions stuck in his chest, going neither up nor down, Finnegan couldn't catch his breath, and his face turned from dark to red.
Just then, the butler suddenly rushed in to report, "Mr. Finnegan Hamilton, Mr. Andrew Hamilton, Mr. and Mrs. Pena are here."
Finnegan of course knew who these two were.
Having just been upset by Andrew with nowhere to vent, when he heard the butler's words, he said irritably, "What are they here for?"
The butler said, "Probably about Saul being arrested. He harassed Ms. Smith last night.
It was also discovered that he had previously forced himself on underage girls. He's been taken to the detention center. They're probably here to plead for him."
Hearing this, Finnegan kept his sour expression and cursed, "Failed to raise their son properly and raised a bastard, and they still have the nerve to plead? Tell them to get lost!"
