Chapter 103: Would You Be His Wife?
The incident where the daughter of the Sullivan Groupโs chairman almost got kidnapped by their own bodyguards caused quite a stir and soon made the news. To protect Alice, her photo wasnโt revealed in the reports. As a token of gratitude, the Sullivan family invited Olivia to dinner to thank her in person.
The afternoon after school, Hudson took Olivia to a five-star hotel booked by the Sullivan family. Hudsonโs appearance and demeanor made him the center of attention wherever he went. Hotel guests couldnโt help but take notice of him when he entered. However, when they saw that he was accompanied by Olivia, who was dressed simply and appeared plain, they couldnโt help but quietly smirk. How did someone so young end up with such bad taste?
Hudson led Olivia into a private room where, aside from Hudsonโs parents and Alice, Asher was also present. โOlivia, youโve really done us a huge favor. The Sullivan family has had generations of sons, but Alice is the only daughter. You not only have talent, but you also have a big heart,โ Asher said. He had added Olivia on contact before but hadnโt been able to meet her. When he heard that Olivia had saved Alice, he came over immediately. Alice was precious to both the Sullivan and Vaughn families, and when they heard that she almost got into an accident, both families were in an uproar.
โSo youโre Olivia? Please, sit down. We canโt thank you enough for yesterday,โ Hudsonโs mother, Valeria Flores, said warmly. She had been strongly opposed to Hudson transferring to St. Rona Academy, but now she was extremely grateful. If Hudson hadnโt transferred, he wouldnโt have met Olivia, and they wouldnโt have been able to save their daughter. โMrs. Sullivan, youโre too kind,โ Olivia replied politely.
โItโs not kindness, itโs sincere gratitude. Not only did Asher come, but Aliceโs other uncle will be here soon as well, saying he wants to thank you properly,โ Valeria said, growing fonder of Olivia by the second. Valeria often saw girls who dressed lavishly, trying hard to win her favor due to the Sullivan familyโs reputation. But Olivia, dressed plainly, felt refreshingly real and unpretentious.
Hudsonโs father, Gavyn Sullivan, resembled Hudson but with the maturity, elegance, and authority of a seasoned man. He looked at Olivia with a warm expression. โYou saved Alice, and in doing so, you saved our entire Sullivan family. We donโt know how to thank you properly. Hereโs a check for one million. Please accept it as our gratitude,โ Gavyn said directly as he handed Olivia a check.
The moment Olivia saw the check, her eyes lit up! She loved this simple, straightforward way of showing thanks! Just as she was about to feign politeness before accepting it, Asher spoke up, โGavyn, how can you be so tacky? A child with such spirit shouldnโt be corrupted by money. This appreciation is so insincere!โ
Oliviaโs lips twitched slightly. Gavyn realized his approach might have been inappropriate. He quickly corrected himself. โI apologize, I wasnโt thinking clearly. Ms. Carter, if you ever need anything in the future, donโt hesitate to ask. Our family will help in any way we can.โ
While the adults were talking, Alice ran over and sat beside Olivia. She looked up at Olivia eagerly. โOlivia, can we talk about something?โ Olivia mourned the loss of her million dollars. โWhat is it?โ Alice blinked her eyes. โWould you be Hudsonโs wife?โ
At Aliceโs words, Hudson, who had been drinking water, immediately spat it out!
