Chapter 307 Olivia is bullied
Alan coughed heavily and raised an eyebrow as he answered her, "I wanted to tell you when I saw him this afternoon. But you were busy in the crowd, and you seemed happy, so I didn't say anything."
"..."
She stood there motionless, afraid that Lawrence R would come running over to force her to hand over the child.
However, besides staring ominously at her and Alan, this man didn't seem to make any aggressive moves?
Instead, it was Darcy who looked at her with eyes that could peel her skin and tear her tendons.
So why were these two standing there, despising her?
Completely unaware of the jealousy surging within Lawrence R at the moment, Winnie glanced at Darcy's increasingly darkened face and deliberately stuck her tongue out at Lawrence R.
Provocative and contemptuous.
Little did she know that her faint girlish charm, visible only to Lawrence R, would captivate him. His dark eyes narrowed.
In an instant, she lifted the hem of her dress and walked into the crowd of men.
Lawrence R's face immediately darkened.
"Mr. Shen, hello. Regarding the jewelry exhibition project at the Art Hall, Imperial is looking for a few reliable suppliers. Your company has an excellent reputation. Do you have any interest in cooperating?"
As Winnie handed out her business cards and got down to business, she quickly sent a text message to the nanny, asking her to keep an eye on Oscar!
She had to adapt on the fly now.
However, the bosses, who had been having a good conversation with her, suddenly cooled off towards her because of a sentence Luke said as he passed by.
Luke was also in a difficult situation and whispered, "Bosses of the gemstone companies, Mr. L would like to speak with you."
"Mr. L wants to talk to us?" The bosses were pleasantly surprised.
This was a rare and great opportunity. It was originally believed that the jewelry exhibition project was taken by Island Electronics Group.
But it seems that even if it was given to Imperial, Lawrence R still had control!
The bosses all left Winnie and ran over to surround Lawrence R.
Winnie instantly felt colder than fallen leaves.
"Jerk." How deliberate!
Winnie cursed inwardly and stared at Lawrence R. He had an air of elegance, with eyes as dark as ice, and he glanced at her.
Clearly, he was trying to force her over and make her grovel.
Winnie clenched her fist, with no intention of bending her knees. She held a glass of red wine and wandered through the crowd. He couldn't take every boss away; there would always be opportunities.
As she was looking for potential partners for her company, a dispute broke out in the depths of the crowd.
The glass fell to the ground with a crash.
She turned her gaze and saw Olivia's pale profile, being shoved by someone.
And the person pushing her... Winnie squinted her eyes and immediately made her way through the crowd... Lynn had accompanied Darcy, and upon learning that Jeremy was in Perugia...
The moment she heard about the summit, she immediately rushed over.
Lately, she had been keeping a close eye on Jeremy.
To her surprise, right at the beginning of the conference, she saw Olivia dressed up and attending.
Olivia had a miserable three years, while Lynn had been living joyfully. She never thought that the woman she had trampled on for a lifetime would suddenly appear in high society, looking so charming and attractive. Jeremy must not see her like this!
This despicable woman, relying on Winnie, managed to bring investments for the Smith family.
The Smith Group, which was now in her father's hands.
After three years of living a glorious life, they could not be pushed back by Olivia, could they?
Lynn burned with envy when she saw Mr. Howard leering at Olivia, almost finalizing the investment.
Holding her drink, she immediately walked over, wearing a smile, and said, "What a coincidence! Olivia, how come I run into you here?"
When Olivia looked up and saw Lynn, she knew it wouldn't be good.
After enduring three years of suppression, she had become accustomed to concealing her emotions.
Quickly, she handed the pen to Mr. Howard and said, "If you think it's good, then sign."
Mr. Howard nodded, having almost finalized the deal.
"What are we signing?" Lynn directly snatched the documents from Olivia. "Investment in construction? Olivia, how can you come empty-handed? The Smith Group is no longer your family's property. How can you lie? Moreover, your reputation is well-known, Mr. Howard should consider investing in someone with good moral character, right?"
Mr. Howard looked confused and asked, "What does this young lady mean?"
Olivia clenched her lips tightly and said, "Lynn, stop maliciously attacking people."
Glancing around, Lynn saw that Jeremy was discussing business at the hotel, so she didn't need to pretend to be a scheming bitch here.
She immediately shouted loudly, "I haven't even started maliciously attacking yet. Olivia, you're so nervous, are you feeling guilty?”
Lynn went on loudly, making sure to catch Jeremy’s ear, “Mr. Howard, this Miss Smith in front of you is the same Olivia who made a name for herself three years ago in Lymington, playing around with six gangsters in one night, being violated, which led to her father's bankruptcy. That's why she can't get married even now. Her story is still a hot topic in Lymington after three years."
"What?" Mr. Howard looked at Olivia's innocent face, and his expression immediately changed.
The men around who had been ogling Olivia were suddenly as if they had eaten flies.
Olivia turned pale, her mind buzzing. Lynn's words exposed the shame from the past that she couldn't reveal, leaving her trembling and powerless.
The gaze of these people made her want to escape. She took a step back, but Lynn grabbed her again.
This despicable woman aimed to destroy her once, trying to see if she would dare to show her face again.
"Olivia, don't run away if you're exposed. Mr. Howard didn't say he wouldn't discuss cooperation with you anymore. He just doesn't want you to use the Smith Group's reputation to deceive people. How about this, you rely on your own abilities, Mr. Howard, Olivia looks good, don't you think?" She hinted subtly.
Mr. Howard, a middle-aged man, had initially considered cooperation for two reasons.
First, he valued Winnie's face, and second, Olivia was beautiful. He wanted to use this cooperation as a way to get to know this beauty.
Little did he know she was a promiscuous person, but it seemed like he didn't need to worry anymore.
Mr. Howard squinted his eyes in a knowledgeable manner and held onto Olivia, saying, "Miss Smith, you deceived me from the start. You should at least apologize. We can discuss investments later. How about we go upstairs and talk?"
"Let go of me! Let go of me! I'm not that kind of woman!" Olivia screamed, feeling provoked.
During the dispute, Lynn held onto her tightly, causing her glass to fall and her dress strap to intentionally come loose from Lynn's tug.
"Ah... No!" Olivia remembered that night from years ago, filled with panic.
"Olivia!" Winnie suddenly appeared and pushed through the crowd. She pulled Olivia into her arms, examining the situation with cold eyes. Lynn and Mr. Howard, one holding Olivia's hand.
"It's alright now, it's alright," Winnie touched her face, her voice turning cold.
As Lynn saw Winnie, she felt a shiver down her spine from her icy gaze, but then she remembered the support she had from Darcy.
She sneered condescendingly and said, "Miss Anderson, I was just kindly helping Olivia with the cooperation. Why are you giving me such a hostile look?"
"Hostile?" Winnie laughed and waved her hand, "Let me show you what true hostility looks like."
With a loud smack, Winnie's powerful slap landed across Lynn's face.
Lynn's face turned to the side, seemingly stunned and unable to react, but her cheek immediately showed five finger imprints, quickly swelling.
"Blood... How... How dare you hit me?!" Lynn touched the blood at the corner of her mouth, shocked and infuriated.
