Chapter 359 It's Not You Who Is Getting Married
When talking about his past plans, Liam's face was full of regret and frustration.
Olivia could almost picture the scene from back then through his words.
She nearly burst out laughing.
How could this person be so interesting?
He actually wanted to cut ties with his family just to read someone else's medical books?
What a wild idea!
But jokes aside, Olivia didn't dislike Liam at all.
On the contrary, she found him quite interesting, so she glanced at Andrew.
Andrew looked at her gently and said, "You can decide for yourself what friends you want to make."
This meant Liam was worth befriending?
After understanding this, Olivia looked at Liam again and said, "Since you want to be friends, I'll accept these medical books."
Hearing this, Liam immediately became excited and said eagerly, "Ms. Smith, take a look - is there anything else here that catches your eye?
If there is, you can take it all, free of charge, no money needed!"
This was completely different from the Liam from just moments ago.
Olivia found it amusing. Afraid he might enthusiastically pack everything for her, she quickly said, "No need, this is enough. If I take everything, how will you run your business?"
Liam said with a silly grin, "It's fine, it's fine. I didn't want to come here anyway. If I hadn't been kicked out early this morning, I'd still be sleeping at home.
Wait a moment!"
Then he turned around and actually packed up everything on the counter, shoving it all into David's hands, saying, "Here, take it, take it."
"This...?" David was also confused.
He could only look at Andrew and Olivia, waiting for their decision.
But Liam didn't care about any of that. He continued, "Mr. Hamilton and Ms. Smith, you must want to continue hunting for treasures, right?
I know where the good stuff is. I'll take you there, let's go!"
Liam was all fired up. Without waiting for their response, he just walked off without looking back.
Olivia looked incredulous. "He just left like that?"
Andrew found her shocked expression so cute that he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek. He chuckled and said, "Liam does things as he pleases; he's always been like this.
Since everything is for you, just accept it. Besides..."
A glint flashed in Andrew's eyes as he said, "I feel like he has another purpose."
"Another purpose? What do you mean?" Olivia didn't understand.
This time, Andrew didn't elaborate. He just held her hand and followed Liam's steps, saying, "We'll find out soon enough."
Seeing him say this, Olivia didn't ask further. She soon followed Andrew and caught up with Liam.
David, seeing everyone had left, could only hand the items to the bodyguards.
He had them take everything to the car first.
Throughout all this, Michael was left on the sidelines.
Olivia didn't give him a single glance, as if she had completely ignored him.
And with Liam's interruption, she had completely forgotten about this person, leaving him behind.
Robert glanced at Michael and sighed inwardly.
But in the end, he said nothing.
Liam said he would take Olivia to find treasures, and he really could find them.
The Blake family wasn't participating in this kind of event for the first time.
As a medical geek like Liam, he naturally wouldn't miss out on good medical-related items.
He knew all the spots from previous years and was clearer than anyone about where the treasures were.
Following him, Olivia really did buy quite a lot of good stuff.
The buying process was just a bit bumpy.
Mainly because of Liam.
The places he took them to were all familiar stalls.
According to him, they were all run by younger members of reclusive families.
Almost all of them knew him well.
Throughout the whole process, Olivia didn't need to speak up - Liam automatically helped her bargain.
He cut prices in half directly.
In the end, the deals were made, but those heirs from prominent families were so angry that they chased after him to beat him up.
Olivia couldn't help but smile, feeling grateful to him in her heart.
Because of him, she really saved a lot of money on this trip.
At the same time, she could see how eager this person was for the Medica Vitae Sect's collection of books.
More than an hour later, Olivia finally finished browsing and shopping.
Walking further ahead, there was a large platform.
This place was exactly what Oscar had told her about - where medical skills competitions took place.
At this moment, several people from the medical field were already competing on stage.
The questions were public, displayed on the big screen.
The crowd gathered here could also see them, ensuring the competition process was fair, just, and open.
Olivia found a seat and sat down, watching their competition with great interest.
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside her.
"Olivia, you really came!"
The tone of this voice was very pleasantly surprised.
Olivia turned to look and indeed saw Oscar's figure.
Zoey was also there, standing beside Oscar.
"Yeah, just got here not long ago." Olivia nodded slightly, which counted as greeting them.
Oscar was quite enthusiastic, asking with a smile, "Did you browse around earlier? Did you buy anything you liked?
This year's scale is quite large. Many families brought out their treasured collections.
Zoey and I found quite a lot!"
Because he was so enthusiastic, Olivia was somewhat interested in continuing the conversation. She nodded and replied, "I did browse around, gained quite a bit. Have you two competed yet?"
Oscar shook his head, saying, "Not yet, we're still waiting for someone."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zoey beside him spoke with a sharp tone, "Oscar, you're not planning to have Olivia compete with Charlotte, are you?
Better not. The Ross family's ancestors were royal physicians - they're legitimate heirs of a medical family tradition.
Even if Olivia is quite capable, she couldn't possibly be Charlotte's match."
The implication was that she felt the Medica Vitae Sect couldn't compare to the Ross family.
Hearing her words, Liam nearby looked a bit strange.
Why did he feel like this woman's words had a sarcastic tone?
Liam turned his head and asked Olivia, "Ms. Smith, who is this person?"
Olivia gave a brief introduction, "These two are my colleagues. This is Oscar, and this is Zoey."
As she introduced them, Andrew casually glanced at the two.
With his keen perception, he immediately noticed that this person named Oscar looked at Olivia in an unusual way.
As for the woman beside him, she was clearly full of hostility toward Olivia.
He calmly withdrew his gaze, and the look behind his lenses became even more indifferent.
Olivia didn't notice.
After the introduction, Olivia asked Oscar curiously, "Do you know Charlotte?"
"Yes, we do." Oscar nodded and told her without hiding anything, "The Ross family and my family have some family ties."
He smiled, "To be honest, my family is actually one of the medical families too.
It's just that my family declined too quickly. Now, thanks to the Ross family's influence, we can only be considered at the bottom tier of these families.
The invitation I mentioned giving you before - I got it from the Ross family."
"I see." Olivia wasn't very surprised to hear this news.
After all, those who could enter the research institute all had extraordinary family backgrounds.
At this moment, Zoey spoke again.
She said with a very proud expression, "Charlotte is the most talented child of this generation in the Ross family! Born into nobility, and she's engaged to the Morgan family, one of the top ten wealthy families in Harmony City.
The Morgan family's status is even more prestigious than the Johnson family in Emerald City!"
Olivia got some information from her words.
But at the same time, she couldn't help but furrow her brows, looking quite speechless.
Zoey targeting her at the research institute was one thing, but she still had this attitude even outside.
Full of sarcasm, and even using marriage matters for comparison.
Olivia didn't indulge her and said coldly, "From what you're saying, this Charlotte is indeed impressive.
However, her being impressive is her business. What are you so proud of?"
It's not like you're the one marrying into the Morgan family.
Your tone is so proud, I almost thought you were the one marrying into the Morgan family."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zoey's expression changed slightly as she tried to refute this.
At this moment, Andrew, who had been silent, spoke coldly, "Don't worry, the Morgan family won't marry her."
After offending Andrew, the Morgan family would be crazy to still want her!
Liam had been standing behind Andrew the whole time, his face blocked from view.
Now, after hearing Andrew speak, he stepped forward and said in agreement, "Mr. Hamilton is right.
That woman is arrogant and domineering. The Morgan family should really think twice now."
Zoey didn't recognize Andrew, but she recognized Liam.
Seeing him appear, she said in surprise, "Mr. Blake, what are you doing here?
And..."
She looked at Andrew and asked in an unfriendly tone, "Who are you? You say the Morgan family won't take her and they won't?"
Just as she finished this sentence, Zoey's expression froze.
Her rising momentum suddenly dissipated as she stared at Andrew's eyes, becoming lost in thought.
The reason was simple - the man before her was just too good-looking.
That face, delicate and defined, was like God's most perfect creation.
His tall, broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted figure was wrapped in a well-tailored shirt and suit, exuding an indescribable air of nobility.
His presence was even stronger than the heir of the Morgan family she had seen before.
When he was talking to Olivia earlier, he hadn't turned to show his full face.
So Zoey hadn't seen clearly.
Now seeing his face fully, her heart was filled with amazement.
Her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
What was this person's relationship with Olivia?
Zoey was very curious.
But Andrew had no intention of paying attention to her.
After saying that sentence, he didn't speak again.
Instead, Liam beside them stepped forward with a smile and said to her, "You'd better not ask about his identity. I'm afraid telling you would scare you.
However, I can tell you that he's Ms. Smith's boyfriend.
Charlotte just offended her, and now, who knows what will happen to her. She probably won't come!
You don't need to wait for her anymore!"
