The manager hurriedly apologized to Olivia. He had wanted to hide behind the counter to get the sales assistant to chase her away, but he hadn’t expected the backer to be so strong. He couldn’t afford to offend them, so he had no choice but to step in now.
“Call your boss out,” Lina said sharply to the manager.
When the manager saw that this was also another powerhouse, he knew that he couldn’t control the situation, so he could only gloomily call the boss.
Ten minutes later, a woman in a white suit appeared in front of everyone. She was Eiffel’s boss. It was said that not many people had seen her before. This was the first time she had appeared in public.
The boss of Eiffel had already seen the surveillance footage from the car and understood what was going on. She took off her sunglasses and bowed to Olivia to express her apology.
“Mrs. Ford, I’m very sorry about this. Please come with me to measure your figure. I’ll make a new dress for you according to your size and modification.”
Olivia shook her head. “This was customized by someone else. If I were to take it, wouldn’t I be snatching it by force? There’s no need to trouble you. However, regarding your manager, I don’t know if…”
The boss of Eiffel had been under the impression that Olivia had come for the black swan dress. After all, this dress was worth $10,000,000. She hadn’t expected that it wasn’t the case and admired Olivia even more.
“The manager has neglected his duty. We don’t need such useless people in the store. There’s no need for Mrs. Ford to ask for such a small matter. I’ll make the arrangements. But I still have to give you this dress. Your temperament suits it better.
“Just like an ugly duckling in a fairy tale, its wings will definitely be stunning. My family name is also Garcia, and I’m your older cousin.”
These words shocked Olivia, and everyone present almost dropped their jaws.
“My mother was from Philadelphia nearby. Are you really my cousin?”
The boss of Eiffel nodded. “That’s true. However, after your mother passed away, we stopped contacting each other. Dad missed her a lot, so he asked me to try my luck here. I didn’t expect to really meet you.”
Olivia’s heart was filled with mixed emotions. How could she have come to such a luxurious place in her previous life?
She felt extremely emotional, and her eyes immediately turned red.
“Alright, Olivia, don’t think too much about it. Look around the shop. If there’s nothing you like, then look at the manuscript. I’ll make you a few dresses and do my job as your cousin.”
The sudden happiness made Olivia feel unreal. She looked at Brian and thought that he had arranged it. However, Brian was also confused. This made her feel more at ease. She had relatives and people who were willing to speak up for her.
Olivia felt that she was too blissful now. Under her cousin’s lead, she went through all the different styles, but she wasn’t satisfied with any of them. However, Olivia was quite satisfied with the changes to the manuscript.
Lina also felt that the part where Olivia had changed was more reasonable. Thus, the entire afternoon passed. It was said that three women could put up a show, so Brian had no part to play in this.
At night, her cousin insisted on treating them to dinner. However, when Olivia thought about how her grandfather was still at home and did not want to leave him alone, she told them to go home and would cook for them.
Lina scrolled through the news and suddenly saw a striking article.
“The New York Times has closed down. The matter between Olivia Ford and Robert has been clarified.”
She looked at Brian in confusion and asked tentatively, “Isn’t New York Times the biggest newspaper agency here? Why did it close down?”
When her cousin heard Lina’s words, she couldn’t believe it. She took out her phone and saw that it was the same thing on all the major news sites.
However, Brian looked indifferent. “They posted a misleading article. If they didn’t close down, would that make sense?”
This was tantamount to admitting that Brian was involved in this matter. In addition, someone had uploaded the video at the shopping center today, and the comments section was buzzing.
“Olivia’s life is too good. Brian actually treats her so well. As for this cousin, she’s even Eiffel’s boss. That Lina actually got acquainted with her just like that.”
“Olivia is very pretty. She should only be wearing light make-up today. Although the clothes she’s wearing aren’t expensive brands, it’s a very candid match.”
“What’s wrong with the person who edited the photos of Robert and Olivia? Are they trying to sow discord?”
After looking at the comments, the corners of Olivia’s lips curled up slightly. She finally felt a little comfort in her heart. She had always been portrayed as a bad person, and now her popularity had risen.
Olivia’s phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. She picked it up and heard Hersha’s harsh voice.
“Olivia, you’re living such a comfortable life. Don’t you feel any guilt for angering your father to the point of being hospitalized? As a daughter, you were busy shopping today and didn’t even come to the hospital to visit your father. How did your father raise such an unfilial daughter?”
A series of crying sounds came from the phone. Olivia had a headache, so she hung up and blocked the number.
“This is?”
Her cousin’s face was filled with confusion. She remembered that Olivia’s mother had passed away. What had happened just now?
“My stepmother, the wife my father married later on. When he married her, he had a younger daughter who was two years younger than me. You guys should know about my marriage, right? Sigh…”
The cousin’s heart ached a little as she looked at Olivia. She felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Compared to Olivia, she was truly too fortunate. This pitiful girl had even been framed.
“All these years, it has been hard on you.”
Olivia shook her head. She hadn’t been to the company for the entire day, and she didn’t know if anything had happened. Today was also her first day as the Vice President, and she had skipped work.
Brian could tell that she was worried, so he held her hand and patted it.
“Don’t worry, I’ll deal with the company today. The video conference just now was to deliver a contract to the Garcia Corporation. This deal is a little big, so my request was to give you another 25% of the shares.”
Brian’s concern made Olivia feel the taste of love. Brian had not trusted her so much in her past life.
She hugged him and whispered, “Thank you,” into his ear.
“Don’t think too much. It’s because you’re my wife. If anything happens to you, it will also affect the Ford Corporation. Don’t think that I’m doing this because of you.”
Although Brian said that, his actions made Olivia feel blessed. He was stubborn like in her previous life. He had done many good things for her, but he would always say that it was for the Ford Corporation.
Commander Ford was about to ask the maid to prepare more dishes when he saw so many people at home but was stopped by Olivia.
“Grandpa, let me do it. I’ll be the host for today.”
Olivia’s coquettish tone warmed Commander Ford’s heart. It was a pity that he didn’t have such a clever and sensible granddaughter.
