"What?! They really came? And it's the head of the Huxley family himself?"
Samuel's face turned tense and worried! He turned to Olivia, his voice filled with deep hatred, and shouted, "Olivia, are you trying to destroy our family? There's one incident after another. Tell me, are you the jinx of our Harrison family?"
"Hmph, Grandpa, I think she is a jinx! Ever since she came back, our family has been plagued with troubles. I think we should just kick her, Jonathan, and that little brat out together!" Sophia seized the opportunity to vent her anger, her eyes flashing with resentment. She still harbored a grudge from when Jonathan hit people in the courtyard a few days ago! Now, finally finding an opportunity, she naturally wouldn't let Olivia off!
"Hmph!" The old man snorted coldly and quickly stood up, saying, "What are you all sitting around for? Hurry and go out to greet the head of the Huxley family!"
With that, everyone from the Harrison Group got up and rushed to the door, all the while cursing Olivia under their breath.
"Hmph! What a jinx! She made us to be summoned for a meeting early in the morning!"
"I think the Harrison family will be driven out of Yonderville sooner or later because of her!"
"What a shameless woman, yet she's still living in the Harrison family. If I caused so much trouble, I would've left quietly long ago! It's so embarrassing!"
Listening to the unrestrained verbal attacks around her, some people even deliberately bumped into Olivia as they passed by, almost making her, already feeling unwell, fall to the ground!
"I'm sorry, I'll find a way to fix this..." Olivia had no choice; she felt it was her own lack of ability that made her an easy target for bullying. She could only keep her head down, apologizing repeatedly, blaming everything on herself.
She thought, 'Why did I go to that party yesterday, why did I offend Evelyn... If it weren't for me, maybe the Harrison family wouldn't be in this situation...'
Olivia became increasingly self-critical, even starting to wonder if she really was a jinx.
Soon, the senior executives and key employees of the Harrison family hurriedly gathered at the entrance downstairs.
Beside Lawrence was Evelyn, her face bruised, wearing sunglasses and a sunhat to cover her injuries. Behind them were a dozen bodyguards carrying boxes as they walked straight into the reception hall of the Harrison Group.
"Oh my, Mr. Huxley. Long time no see. I didn't expect you to personally bring so many people here today. I just received the assistant's notification, and as soon as I heard the news, I hurried over to greet you. I'm sorry for being a bit late." Samuel, leaning on a cane, approached with a flattering smile and extended his hand to Lawrence.
Lawrence, now in his forties, had developed the Huxley family to a level on par with the Harrison family, and in some aspects, they were even stronger! Combined with Samuel's fear, it made him extremely flattering.
However, Lawrence did not shake hands with Samuel. His face was anxious as he directly asked, "Is Olivia here?"
Hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the Harrison family turned very unpleasant, though some looked excited, feeling their schemes had succeeded. 'He has just arrived and is asking to see Olivia! Clearly, Olivia has angered the Huxley family! Otherwise, someone of Lawrence's status wouldn't come personally for his daughter's sake!'
Samuel was taken aback and awkwardly withdrew his hand. He then turned with a cold expression and shouted, "Olivia, come forward!"
Standing at the back, Olivia didn't need to move on her own; she was directly pushed to the front, with Sophia and others sneering.
"Heh! Olivia, let's see how you wriggle out of this one!"
"The head of the Huxley family has come personally to reprimand you. Just wait to apologize!"
As these words fell, Olivia, nervous and trembling, stood at the front.
"What are you waiting for? Don't you see that Mr. Huxley has come personally? It's all because of you that we're in this situation!" Samuel roared, raising his cane to strike.
Seeing this, Lawrence's expression changed dramatically. 'If Olivia gets beaten because of me, Mr. Parker might kill me, or even destroy the Huxley family!'
So, Lawrence quickly stopped Samuel, shouting, "Mr. Harrison, you misunderstood! I didn't come here to demand an apology..."
Hearing this, not only did Samuel stop, but all the senior executives and members of the Harrison family were stunned! Not here to demand an apology? Then what for?
"Mr. Huxley, there's no need to be so polite. Since she made a mistake, she should be punished! I've already heard about the incident, and it's all Olivia's fault!" Samuel said coldly, his eyes falling on Evelyn, who was partially concealed by sunglasses and a hat. He could still see the injuries on her face and immediately assumed that Olivia was responsible for them!
"Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Huxley's daughter!" Samuel roared again.
Olivia felt wronged and unwilling, but faced with the glares from the Harrison family and Samuel's pressure, she could only tearfully prepare to apologize.
Lawrence was so terrified! He quickly stopped Olivia, his face filled with panic, and said, "Mrs. Parker, you don't need to apologize. It should be Evelyn who apologizes to you!"
Saying this, amidst everyone's shocked expressions, Lawrence angrily pointed at Evelyn and shouted, "Why are you still standing there? Apologize to Mrs. Parker!"
