Chapter 392 With Him Here, Who Dares Act Recklessly
Olivia suddenly understood, but still asked with some confusion, "If that's the case, just giving one invitation would be enough. Why give so many?"
Such a thick stack - if you didn't know better, you'd think they were handing out flyers.
Liam also found it strange.
Normally, giving out invitations - one for Medica Vitae Sect, one for Olivia - would be enough. Why bring so many?
What was going on?
He looked at the invitations, then at Daniel.
So many invitations, as if they were afraid Olivia wouldn't come.
Olivia asked curiously, "Who's hosting this ball?"
Liam told her, "This is held every year, but there's no fixed host.
Usually, it's initiated by a wealthy family, and the host changes each time - they take turns.
The purpose of the ball is mainly for networking, to help the younger generation of wealthy families expand their connections.
Of course, the young people from these families also use this party to check out potential partners."
At this point, Liam remembered something and told Olivia, "Speaking of which, the reason the Ross family and the Morgan family have an engagement is because of last year's ball - Charlotte and the Morgan family's son were interested in each other.
Plus, the two families were equally powerful and wanted to join forces, so they arranged the engagement."
After hearing this, Olivia thought for a moment and asked, "So Charlotte will be attending this year's ball too?"
Liam nodded, "Definitely."
Olivia understood.
"Looks like she had a hand in these invitations."
Liam caught on quickly too. He frowned and reminded Olivia, "Charlotte's invitation probably has bad intentions!
Charlotte holds grudges. After you treated her that way in public and ruined her engagement, she definitely won't let you off!
You know, there was once a girl from a middle-tier family who accidentally offended her.
Charlotte used an occasion like this to humiliate her - her behavior was absolutely domineering and arrogant!
After listening to them talk for so long, Daniel finally asked, "Where is this so-called ball being held?"
Liam said, "At the Opulent Oasis Hotel."
Hearing this name, Daniel raised his eyebrows with interest.
If he remembered correctly, that was the same place Andrew mentioned, right?
Seemed like the same location?
In that case, he said calmly, "It's clearly a trap, but so what if we go?
Charlotte thinks she's somebody, but when the time comes, who humiliates who is still up in the air!
Liam looked at him with some surprise.
Though he hadn't had much contact with Daniel, from these past few days he could tell that Daniel's attitude toward Olivia was unusual.
If he didn't know Daniel's character, Liam would suspect that saying such things meant he wanted to see Olivia embarrassed!
Having seen plenty of schemes, Liam warned, "Don't underestimate her. Charlotte's methods of humiliating people are really despicable.
To be honest, all these years, if the Ross family hadn't been protecting her, given how arrogant she is, she would have made countless enemies by now.
If you really go, she'll definitely come at you as hard as she can.
Don't forget about the research institute situation - too many people have been talking about it lately.
I bet Charlotte definitely won't miss this chance. She'll definitely use it to make a big deal out of it!"
Olivia herself didn't really like these kinds of occasions.
She couldn't be bothered with those irrelevant people. With that time, she'd rather work more or spend more time with Bianca.
"Forget the ball, I'm not interested."
But Daniel said, "No, I think you must attend.
You're now the leader of Medica Vitae Sect, representing Medica Vitae Sect.
Medica Vitae Sect has been quiet for too long. It's time to make a name for yourself, so certain stupid people can't just step on you whenever they want.
Second, you're also Andrew's girlfriend now. There are probably plenty of people waiting to see if you dare to show up!
Olivia, I suggest you go.
Those people are just clowns, nothing to fear!
Besides, you won't be going to the party alone!
This ball has invited many people. I imagine your friends will also be on the invitation list.
Even if they're not, at least I'll be there!"
He silently encouraged her.
Olivia was naturally grateful.
After hearing this, Liam also nodded, "You have a point. If you want to go, I can attend too!
So what about the Ross family? The Blake family isn't afraid of them!
When the time comes, I'll definitely be on your side, Olivia. Don't be scared.
Plus, the Hamilton family must have been invited too. As long as you go, Mr. Hamilton will definitely go.
With your boyfriend there, who would dare act up?"
As he spoke, Liam suddenly felt a bit excited.
Charlotte chose this kind of occasion probably thinking Andrew wouldn't dare deal with her as brazenly as before.
If that's what she thinks, she's dead wrong!
Based on his recent interactions with Andrew, he felt that Andrew's devotion to Olivia was such that no one else could compare to her.
Charlotte miscalculated this time!
Thinking about the scene at the ball, Liam's desire to watch the drama was strong.
So he quickly changed his tune, "Olivia, let's go, okay? Let's see what Charlotte is really up to!"
After thinking it over, Olivia also felt Daniel's words made sense, so she didn't refuse, "Whether for Medica Vitae Sect or for myself, I should go to this ball!"
She should also let Charlotte know not to really think that she, Olivia, was afraid of her and that she could do whatever she wanted.
Charlotte's scheming at the research institute hadn't been settled yet - might as well settle everything together!
After deciding, Daniel and Liam soon left to get busy.
Olivia took some time to mention this to Andrew.
Andrew's clear yet gentle voice came through the phone, "Just as I expected, someone really did send you an invitation."
"What?" Hearing this, Olivia looked completely puzzled. "Did you already know about this?"
Andrew replied with a smile, "Yes, I was already planning to take you there. As for someone else's invitation, I only had my suspicions!"
Olivia nodded in understanding, "So you already knew that Charlotte might make things difficult for me at the ball?"
Andrew didn't deny it, but gave a low acknowledgment and asked her, "Olivia, are you scared?"
Olivia said nonchalantly, "Not scared. You'll be there, won't you?
Besides, I can handle her, as long as she doesn't get physical."
Last time she almost got hurt was when Charlotte attacked her by surprise.
Olivia didn't think at all that she would lose to Charlotte.
At most, she felt that fighting in front of so many people at the ball wouldn't look good.
Andrew's voice carried a hint of coldness, "Unless she wants to lose her other hand too!"
These words carried an air of dominance and chilliness.
Listening to this, Olivia not only wasn't scared, but felt completely reassured.
She knew Andrew would definitely protect her.
No matter what Charlotte planned, he wouldn't let her succeed!
They didn't need to continue - they both understood.
At this moment, Andrew seemed to remember something and changed the subject, "By the way, I have good news to tell you."
He briefly said something on the other end of the phone.
The next second, Olivia's expression filled with delight, "Really?"
"Yes." Andrew said with a smile, "So get ready, I'll pick you up tonight."
Olivia's lips curved into a sweet smile, "Okay!"
That evening at eight o'clock.
At the Opulent Oasis Hotel, on the twenty-first floor, the magnificent ballroom welcomed a steady stream of guests.
Priceless crystal chandeliers refracted dazzling, colorful light. Below the champagne tower were men and women in eye-catching attire.
The scene was filled with elegant figures and clinking glasses.
A picture of extravagant splendor.
At this moment, in a corner of the ballroom, two groups of people were already waiting eagerly.
On one side was Charlotte's group, with Zoey standing beside her.
It was thanks to Charlotte that she could appear at such an occasion tonight.
Right now, Zoey was watching the entrance while asking Charlotte, "Will Olivia really come?"
Charlotte snorted and lifted her chin, "She'll definitely come! After all, she represents Medica Vitae Sect.
If she dares not come, then Medica Vitae Sect won't be able to establish itself in high society anymore!
What's more, she has another identity now.
If she really chickens out, after tonight, the entire Harmony City elite circle will mock her for being a coward!"
Zoey wasn't from this circle after all, so she wasn't clear about some information.
So she asked Charlotte in confusion, "What do you mean by another identity?"
But Charlotte didn't elaborate, a sinister look appearing in her eyes.
Tonight, she had a dual purpose.
She not only wanted to publicly announce the embarrassing fact that Olivia had been suspended from the research institute!
She also wanted to embarrass Andrew!
To make everyone mock his taste!
This was the price for him crippling her arm and indirectly ruining her engagement!
For this show tonight, she had invited many people and spent considerable effort!
On the other side of the ballroom, Aurelia and Rachel were similarly observing everything.
As the person secretly fanning the flames, Aurelia had been closely watching public opinion for so long. Tonight was finally the time to see the results!
Her mood was naturally excited, her eyes fixed on the entrance.
Wondering curiously: Olivia, do you dare to show up?
Rachel held a glass of champagne, gently swirling it in her hand. She withdrew her gaze from Charlotte in the distance and said to Aurelia with a low laugh, "I hope Charlotte won't be too disappointing!"
