Chapter 161: Pack Justice and New Alliances (Revised) -2
At six in the afternoon, Olivia changed her clothes and prepared to leave her apartment. She applied light makeup and chose a beige dress with a matching coat.
Her honey–brown hair cascaded in gentle waves over her shoulders. The soft color complemented her amber eyes perfectly.
Arriving at the restaurant, Olivia parked her modest BMW sedan in the underground garage. The familiar
weight of her car keys felt comforting in her palm.
She encountered Emma Turner with her daughter Sophie near the restaurant entrance. Emma’s face lit up
with genuine human warmth.
“Olivia! You look absolutely lovely,” Emma called out, waving enthusiastically.
Sophie, a bright–eyed little girl, greeted Olivia sweetly. “Hello, Miss Winters!”
Her innocent smile reminded Olivia painfully of young Grace Winters. The resemblance tugged at her heart
unexpectedly.
Olivia reached into her purse and pulled out a small gift bag tied with a pink bow. “I brought something for
Sophie.”
Emma’s eyes widened in surprise. “Oh, you didn’t need to do that!”
“It’s just a small token,” Olivia insisted gently. “I thought of her fondly after our meeting in the park.”
Sophie opened the bag with careful fingers. Inside was a beautiful Rose Gold Designer Hair Clip with Pink
Crystals.
The elegant hair accessory sparkled under the restaurant’s soft lighting. Pink crystals caught the light like
tiny stars.
“It’s so beautiful!” Sophie exclaimed, her face radiant with joy. “Thank you so much, Miss Winters!”
Emma tried to decline the generous gift. “This is too expensive, Olivia. We can’t accept something so
valuable.”
“Please, I insist,” Olivia said warmly. “It’s a small gift for a sweet child.”
Emma’s eyes misted with gratitude. “You’re incredibly kind. Thank you so much.”
Sophie clutched the hair clip carefully, her small fingers tracing the delicate crystals with wonder.
“Miss Winters, I’ll escort you up,” Emma smiled warmly, gesturing toward the elevator.
“Of course,” Olivia replied graciously, following Emma and Sophie into the building.
They took the elevator to the third floor. Sophie asked her mother to help her put on the beautiful hair clip.
“You look like a little princess,” Olivia praised enthusiastically, watching Sophie beam with pride.
When the elevator doors opened, Olivia was surprised to see Adrian Sinclair already seated inside the private dining room. A kind elderly couple and a middle–aged man were also present.
Emma made the introductions with obvious pride. “This is my husband, Sophie’s father. And these are

Adrian’s aunt and uncle.”
The elderly couple rose from their seats, their faces warm with gratitude. “Miss Winters, we can’t thank you enough for helping us find Sophie in the park.”
Sophie’s father stepped forward, his handshake firm and sincere. “You have our eternal gratitude for keeping our daughter safe.”
Adrian adjusted his gold–rimmed glasses with a gentle smile. His charcoal suit was impeccable, his demeanor professionally warm.
“Good evening, partner,” he greeted Olivia warmly, rising from his chair.
Emma laughed at the formal address. “You can call her Olivia. We’re all friends here.”
Emma gave Adrian a meaningful look, motioning for him to move closer to Olivia at the dining table. Her matchmaking intentions were barely concealed.
Adrian shook his head helplessly at the obvious attempt. His expression was both amused and slightly
embarrassed.
Olivia asked with innocent curiosity, “What’s happening?”
Adrian explained diplomatically, his voice smooth and professional. “Emma wants us to sit together to discuss our potential legal partnership.”
He paused, meeting Olivia’s amber eyes directly. “I agree it would be beneficial for our professional
collaboration.”
Olivia was delighted to have such a dedicated and accomplished potential partner. “That’s wonderful! Please, sit beside me so we can discuss the Moonstone Legal Partners establishment.”
Adrian gracefully moved to sit next to Olivia. His movements were elegant and controlled, befitting his refined background.
Emma smiled knowingly, murmuring under her breath. “Adrian and Olivia seem like a perfect match, both in their legal careers and personal compatibility.”
