1009 Words
They quickly arrived at the reserved private room. Before they even entered, they could hear laughter and chatter from inside, both male and female voices, discussing luxury goods and watches. "Hey, look who's here! Our great beauty, Olivia Harrison!" Maggie shouted loudly as she entered, clapping her hands. When Olivia and Jonathan entered, they saw the large private room filled with fine wines and snacks on the table. Each person had keys to either a Porsche, Ferrari, or Lamborghini in front of them! Moreover, the women present all had expensive bags beside them, such as LV and Gucci. They were dressed in designer clothes, adorned with sparkling jewelry, no less impressive than Maggie! The men accompanying them were all dressed like successful businessmen or social elites. As soon as Olivia walked in, the lively room fell silent. In the center of the group sat a woman with delicate features, dressed attractively. When she saw Olivia enter, she immediately stood up, smiling broadly, and rushed over to hug her, exclaiming, "Olivia, long time no see! I've missed you so much." Olivia was stunned by the sudden hug. Perhaps as time passed, no hatred was insurmountable, and the friendships of youth remained strong. After hesitating for a while, she smiled and gently hugged the woman back, saying, "Evelyn..." Evelyn let go of Olivia, tears glistening in her eyes, and pulled Olivia to sit beside her, as if she had indeed met a dear friend after many years, eager to talk. "Let me introduce you all. This is my bestie from elementary school to university, Olivia." Evelyn introduced her to everyone with a smile, but the others' expressions didn't change much, offering only faint smiles. Olivia politely nodded to everyone. However, the men in the room couldn't help but feel their hearts race the moment Olivia walked in. It wasn't because of anything else, but because Olivia was indeed as beautiful and pure as the rumors said! She was different from their wives and girlfriends. Most of them looked decent because of their makeup and outfits, but Olivia's beauty was on another level after applying makeup, like the most exquisite luxury among beauties! The men secretly regretted that if they had come alone, they would have rushed up to impress her. "Olivia, I'm sorry for what I did before. I hope you can forgive me. Let's be good sisters again, okay?" Evelyn said, holding Olivia's hand, her voice soft, and even her expression showing a hint of pity. Olivia didn't think much about it and responded, "Evelyn, I was also wrong before. You are my best sister." Such a touching scene might have seemed like genuine sisterly love to an outsider. However, to Jonathan, it looked especially fake. Although Evelyn said those words, the mockery and coldness in her eyes were clear to him. He had seen too many hypocritical people, just like this group, each with their own hidden agenda. At this moment, Maggie suddenly shifted the topic to Jonathan, saying, "Hey, Olivia, didn't you forget to introduce this gentleman?" At this point, everyone turned their attention to Jonathan, who was still standing at the door, and then looked at Olivia. Olivia wiped away her tears, stood up, walked to Jonathan's side, and introduced him somewhat hesitantly, "He... he is my husband." Hearing this, the men in the room showed a flash of disappointment and even gloom on their faces, but they still forced a smile. However, one of the slick-haired men couldn't help himself. He stood up, his gaze cold, and asked, "So, this is Miss Harrison's husband. May I ask what this gentleman does for a living? Why does he look so shabby? I don't mean to look down on you, but it seems like you don't quite match the rest of us here. Is it that you didn't have time to change clothes, or do you look down on us?" Olivia was stunned, looking nervous and wanting to explain, but Jonathan spoke first, saying calmly, "I don't have any skills or a job. I'm just here to accompany my wife today." "Hahaha! So you're just an unemployed bum?" The man sneered, looking at the others, who also burst into laughter. "You guys probably don't know, right? He's the only surviving member of the Parker family from five years ago, Jonathan! He used to be so glamorous, but now he's married into the Harrison family, living like a watchdog!" Maggie interjected, her face full of mockery. Upon hearing this, many people, although aware, deliberately exaggerated their reactions, opening their mouths wide. "What? He's that Parker family's useless Jonathan?" "No way? Olivia, we invited you to this gathering, and you brought this guy along? What a killjoy!" "Yeah! Evelyn was so looking forward to seeing you, and you bring this useless guy along? Are you trying to embarrass her?" Hearing the disdainful remarks, Olivia's face turned very embarrassed. She tried to explain, "Evelyn, listen to me. I didn't mean it. I just brought him to accompany me." Turning to Jonathan, she looked at him with pleading eyes, "Jonathan, maybe you should wait for me at the door?" Jonathan looked at Olivia, remembering his promise to her, sighed helplessly, and said, "Alright, I'll wait for you at the door. Call me if you need." With that, Jonathan turned and left the room, standing in the hallway to smoke. As soon as Jonathan left, Evelyn immediately stood up, her face cold, and said to everyone, "Alright! Olivia is my friend. You are not allowed to talk about her or her husband like that!" Instantly, everyone fell silent and continued drinking. Olivia was deeply moved and gratefully looked at Evelyn, who was holding a glass of wine and walking over, "Evelyn, thank you, I..." But before she could finish, Evelyn poured the wine directly over Olivia's head!!! In that instant, the whole room fell silent. The cold wine, with its strong alcoholic smell, poured over Olivia's head, quickly drenching her face and staining her white dress, making her look very embarrassed and pitiful!
