Chapter 364
Direla thought it was hilarious. How could a substitute even be her rival? In the end, they’ll end up nowhere, right?
With that in mind, Gabriella’s face flashed in her mind again.
It’s not Rosalynn…
How could it be Rosalynn…
They just a lookalike, that’s all!
So, Olivia went straight to the CEO’s office.
“Ms. Whaley, President Silverman is in a meeting outside, Emily said, beaming.
“Where’s Ivy?” Olivia asked, acting like she was very close to Ivy.
“Huh?” Emily reacted for a moment, “Ah…-President Silverman took Ivy out with him.”
Olivia pondered.
She had checked Ivy’s background.
But… she got nothing. Ivy’s parents, family members, all that information wasn’t public.
Now, the kid was sticking to Wayne.
She didn’t believe that this was something a child could do on her own! Someone must be teaching her from behind!
At that moment, another girl from the CEO’s office appeared, holding a cute candy box in both hands.
“What’s this?” Olivia asked doubtfully.
The girl replied, “President Silverman ordered this, probably worried that next time Ivy comes, there won’t be anything for her to eat in the office.”
Olivia’s face turned pale. No matter how much she tried to find an excuse for Wayne, his care for this child had exceeded his indifferent nature towards all other things.
She smiled and asked, “Do you guys know why she came to see President Silverman?”
The people in the CEO’s office were usually tight–lipped.
However… Ivy’s matters didn’t seem to be a company secret.
“I don’t know the specifics, but…” Emily thought for a moment, “When I was helping her tie her hair, President Silverman took care of a cat for her.”
“A cat?” Olivia’s face darkened.
Wayne didn’t like these little animals.
“Yeah.” Emily nodded, noticing Olivia’s expression.
“That’s… pretty cute.” Olivia tried hard to maintain her smile. “Since President Silverman isn’t here, I’ll leave now. Thank you guys.”
Olivia turned and left.
Emily and the others exchanged glances: “I somehow feel that Ms. Whaley is not very happy.”
“Same here!”
Instead of going back to her office, Olivia went straight to the garage and got in her car.
After sitting for a while, she took out a cellphone from the storage box and turned it on.
n
A moment later, several messages popped up, two of which were about Wayne’s schedule for the past few days.
“Golden wedding banquet?” Olivia frowned slightly, then noticed there were key VIP guests who were invited.
And she saw the name Jered Group’s Gabriella.
Chapter 365
Upon seeing Gabriella’s name, Olivia was dumbstruck.
So… had Wayne seen her?
This question seemed like a heavy mountain that mercilessly crushed her.
Soon, Olivia’s question got an answer.
She saw a familiar name on the guest list, called them up pretending to chat about a collaboration, but in the end, she brought up the Lawrence family’s golden. wedding banquet.
“I was supposed to go that day, too, but I had some last–minute work to do, so Wayne went by himself,” Olivia told them.
The other person laughed after hearing that, “Ms. Whaley, you missed quite a show
The person on the phone continued, “The Lawrence family is most concerned about how others perceive them, but at the banquet, their granddaughter tried to provoke the heiress of the Jered Group, Gabriella, out of jealousy, and it ended in a disagreeable farewell.”
“The Jered Group… Do you mean Gabriella Jared?” Olivia clenched her other fist tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh.
“That’s right! And when Gabriella was being harassed by the Lawrence girl, your President Silverman stepped in to save her. I also heard…”
The person suddenly stopped talking.
“Ms. Snow, we know each other well, so you don’t have to hold back,” Olivia said gently.
“Well, it’s just a rumor: the Lawrence girl was sent to a mental asylum on the rich island that night, allegedly due to a mental breakdown. Some people say… President Silverman did it. Ha, what an outrageous rumor!”
The Sharp Mental Facility…
Olivia bowed her head, clenching her fists.
“Olivia, do you know anything about this? Was it really President Silverman who sent her away? He really did seem to defend Ms. Gabriella that day.”
“I just got back, and I haven’t seen him yet,” Olivia managed to reply, holding back her emotions. “But I’m not surprised that he helped Ms. Jared. Wayne’s admired Hilaria since he was young, so it’s natural that he would take care of the chairman’s granddaughter.”
“Isée…”
The other person acknowledged.
“Ms. Snow, let’s plan for afternoon tea after I finish my current projects, and we can talk in person.”
“Sure! Just don’t forget to help me with my issue.”
“No problem.”
After hanging up, Olivia didn’t know how to react. Wayne had seen Gabriella and even defended her in public! And he also dealt with the people who had humiliated Gabriella afterward…
All these questions were bothering Olivia.
It’s been more than five years! Wayne hadn’t been with anyone, and she was so close… maybe a few more months, at most one or two years, to become Mrs. Silverman. Why did so many people suddenly want to compete with her?
Olivia smacked the steering wheel a few times, then she suddenly thought of something.
So what if Wayne had seen Gabriella? The person upstairs had a point: the dead can’t compete with the living!
As long as Gabriella dies too, Wayne would still come back to her to heal.
Yeah…
Death can solve anything!
Slowly, Olivia calmed down, regaining her composed demeanor.
But before that, she had to do one more thing.
She had to outdo Gabriella for FreshBite’s contract and land it for Bane Corporation
She wanted to show Wayne that she was better than Gabriella and could easily step on her if wanted to!
