Chapter 4: Splendid Marriage
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Grandpa James’ expression was not good. This girl was his soon-to-be granddaughter-in-law, so how could she have a child with someone else? He had just mentioned the cross pendant to his grandson again, so how could it be?
Olivia was equally shocked. She did not expect the child to arrive so early in this life. In her previous life, she had clearly gotten pregnant after doing it with Brian many times.
Olivia was currently filled with sorrow and joy. The timing of the child’s arrival was wrong. Could it still be her beloved Mia?
Grandpa James cursed the sc*mbag at the side. He was both angry and anxious. Then, he stood in front of Olivia and asked with a pained voice, “Who is the child’s father?”
Olivia subconsciously glanced at Brian, whose expression was equally ugly. She shook her head and did not speak.
“The child doesn’t have a father!?” Grandpa James exploded again.
Olivia lowered her head, not knowing how to reply.
“How long have you been pregnant?” Brian’s cold voice was filled with suppressed anger.
“About two weeks,” the doctor answered truthfully, not knowing what was going on.
About two weeks!
Grandpa James’ heart turned cold. “Who!? Which bast*rd dared to impregnate you and not take responsibility!”
Grandpa James was furious and slammed his palm on the bedside table. “This dog of a person is obviously a coward. There will definitely be no other woman willing to bear his child in the future!”
Olivia felt a headache when she saw the veins on Brian’s forehead throbbing. She wanted to stop Grandpa James from cursing his grandson. “Sir, it’s not like that—”
“Don’t speak up for that bast*rd!” Grandpa James was still fuming. “This bast*rd! Don’t let me catch him! Otherwise, I’ll skin him alive!”
Seeing that he was getting more and more out of tune, Brian, whose face was so dark that it was about to explode, gnashed his teeth and put on a fake smile. “Grandfather, the bast*rd you’re talking about is me.”
Grandpa James looked at him in surprise.
Olivia was equally shocked. She did not expect Brian to just admit it openly! The corners of her lips twitched, but she realized that she looked worse than crying.
—
When the news of Olivia and Brian’s marriage spread, it was like a torpedo had blown up the entire circle of New York City’s celebrities.
Who was Brian?
He was the Tyrant King of New York City—he was so ruthless that it made one’s hair stand on end. He could decide the fate of a family with just a casual conversation. After taking over the Ford Corporation, he had developed overseas for three years, becoming a business legend.
But such a god-like man wanted to marry an unknown daughter of the Garcia family?
Countless guests at the wedding banquet wanted to see Olivia’s true appearance. They wanted to see what kind of stunning beauty could enchant President Ford!
Sitting in the most luxurious hotel in the center of New York City, where every inch of land was worth the value of gold, the presidential ballroom that occupied an entire floor had become a sea of roses.
The chandelier reflected a dazzling light. The luxurious wedding venue made everyone who came over to celebrate sigh at how rich the Ford family was.
The bride, who was receiving guests with Brian, was even more beautiful.
She was wearing a tube top long dress that outlined her slim figure. As she walked, her skirt swayed, and there was a faint smile on her beautiful face. Then, she glanced at the pearl tassel earrings on the side of her ears, which were pressed against her delicate chin, rippling out beautifully.
Brian’s eyes darkened as he looked at the stunning Olivia. His grip on her slender waist tightened.
From an angle where no one could see, Brian’s cold voice carried a bone-chilling sarcastic tone. “Didn’t you say that you don’t want to sleep with me? Don’t think that just because you are the mother of my child, you can marry into my family and rest easy for the rest of your life. I won’t interfere in the affairs of your Garcia family at all.”
In the face of Brian’s hostility, Olivia was helpless as well. She herself did not expect that she would deviate from her previous life’s trajectory and succeed so quickly. However, since she was already pregnant, she had to give birth to the child properly no matter what.
“Don’t worry, President Ford. I won’t pester you for too long. I know that you married me just to make Grandpa Ford happy.”
Although Olivia knew that Grandpa James’ authority was great in her previous life, she did not expect him to be so amazing that he had only used a week to arrange such a luxurious wedding.
“I only agreed to marry you because I have a treasure that I must get back, and I need your help to do so.”
When she said this, Olivia’s gaze seemed to have changed into a different person. It was filled with hatred and ruthlessness. It was as if she was a black rose that crept out of the depths of hell. Although she had fatal thorns, it was so damn tempting.
Brian’s eyes darkened when he saw Olivia. A look of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.
A treasure that she had to get back by using him?
Brian’s eyes turned cold when he thought of her background.
The Garcia family?
What made her think that he would help her?
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door. Olivia looked toward the door and saw a family of three standing at the door in formal attire.
Sophia was dressed in a pure and charming manner, and she used a proud posture to receive everyone’s attention.
Satisfied with everyone’s envious gazes, Hersha asked, “Sophia, are you ready?”
“Of course.” She had been preparing for this wedding since three days ago. She had to shock everyone and let the celebrities of New York City and Brian see that she was the number one beauty in the city.
Olivia walked in front of the three of them. “I thought you wouldn’t come even though I gave Aunt Hersha the invitation.”
When Hersha saw Olivia clearly, her eyes were filled with surprise. Olivia’s facial features were well-defined to begin with, and she was even wearing elegant make-up today. She was full of beauty, and her every move was so elegant that no one could profane her.
How could Olivia be so beautiful today?
Sophia, who was standing at the side, held her hand tightly before she managed to control her urge to scratch Olivia to death. How dare this woman steal her limelight!?
Sensing her daughter’s anger, Hersha grabbed her wrist in a place where no one could see, indicating that she should control herself now in this environment.
When she looked at Olivia again, Hersha’s gaze was a little evasive. “What… What do you mean? My daughter is getting married. We must definitely come.”
Olivia raised her eyebrows and smiled cynically, deliberately provoking her. “Are you here to deliver my wedding gift?”
“The bet was just a casual remark.” Hersha coughed and played dumb. “I can’t decide on the 20% shares alone.”
Brian had clearly noticed this scene. He strode over and looked at the few people in front of him with interest.
“I thought something happened. The Garcia family is not small, but you can’t even provide a decent gift? Don’t worry, you’ll be a member of the Ford family from now on, so nobody will dare to bully you.”
His words seemed to, intentionally or unintentionally, want Olivia to cut off all ties with the Garcia family. The two women were stunned.
Joseph Garcia’s face darkened, and he was a little unhappy. However, this Tyrant King that he could not afford to offend was also here, so he could only play dumb. “What shares? We’re one big family, so don’t talk about two families like that. You’re already getting married, so it’s time to repay our family for raising you.”
Wasn’t he trying to get into Brian’s good books to gain benefits for the Garcia family?
A hint of ruthlessness flashed through Olivia’s eyes. “Don’t worry, my dear father. I’ll definitely repay you well.”
Brian’s eyes turned cold. This damn woman was actually embarrassing him.
When Sophia saw this, she knew that her chance had come and immediately smiled innocently. “Last time, when Olivia went to apply for the position of the ceremonial attendant, she even saved President Ford. I can’t believe there was such a coincidence. My dear sister is really lucky.”
Her words were full of sarcasm toward Olivia. Not to mention that Olivia had an ulterior motive for going to the ‘Omen’; even if she didn’t, she wouldn’t be able to clear her name now.
Brian didn’t believe Olivia to begin with. After hearing what Sophia said, he only felt irritated. If his grandfather hadn’t forced him, he wouldn’t have let such a woman join his family!
Seeing that many guests had gathered around them, he didn’t want to continue with the conversation. He let go of Olivia and left.
After Brian left, the surrounding gazes filled with disdain or disgust landed on Olivia even more brazenly. There were even faint sounds of discussion.
“She’s indeed a scheming woman, purposely marrying into the Ford family!”
“She’s been exposed. Can the wedding continue?”
The corner of Sophia’s mouth curled up in an imperceptible smile as she listened to the rustling sounds.
For some reason, Olivia actually felt a trace of sadness from being abandoned.
Abandoned?
Hmph!
Olivia raised her eyebrows and turned back into a charming beauty again. She looked at Sophia with a half-smile, saying, “I have to thank you for all this. If you hadn’t tampered with the lamp, I wouldn’t have saved him so coincidentally. Do you want to see the footage I recorded?”
