Rebirth of a Runaway Actress: Career First, Love Second

Chapter 105: What Is She Doing Here?

“Uncle Mason, I didn’t…” Hudson protested innocently, feeling completely wronged. He hadn’t done anything.

Mason snorted coldly, unable to understand how his well-behaved and sensible nephew had turned into the kind of person who would seduce a married woman. Gavyn, Valeria, and Asher were all equally puzzled by Mason’s anger. Only Olivia, noticing Mason’s dark expression, quietly swallowed her food.

“Ma… Oh, Mr. Mason, you’ve misunderstood.” This is a huge misunderstanding!

Mason looked at Olivia with a heartbroken expression. “Ms. Carter, I know this has nothing to do with you. It must be my nephew’s shameless behavior.” Ms. Carter is deeply devoted to Mr. Wilson, so it must be Hudson who has been persistently pursuing her.

Hudson was speechless. What have I done that’s shameless?

“Actually, there’s nothing between Hudson and me. What Alice said just now is something she learned from a TV show…” Olivia watched as Hudson was scolded mercilessly by Mason, feeling genuinely sympathetic.

Upon hearing this, Mason’s expression softened a little. “Is that so?”

Olivia nodded. She had to explain this clearly, or else if Mason spoke to Liam about this, she would be in big trouble.

“Mason, it’s true that Alice said that out of innocent childishness,” Gavyn said with a wry smile, knowing that Mason was straightforward and had likely misunderstood Hudson’s connection to Alice, thinking Hudson might have been pursuing Alice’s savior.

Mason’s expression relaxed slightly, but Asher suddenly chimed in, “I think Alice’s words are a good suggestion. Olivia is such a wonderful girl, and she saved Alice’s life. If she could marry into the Sullivan family, it would be a good thing.” This way, he could discuss composition with Olivia on more official terms!

“Olivia, what do you think of Hudson?” Asher asked, looking at Olivia and trying to promote his nephew.

Mason’s expression, which had softened, immediately darkened again. Hudson tensed up instinctively, waiting for Olivia’s answer. Olivia felt like Asher was a trap set by the universe to ruin her. Her one million was already flying away, and now Asher was pushing her into danger again!

But with Mason present, if she praised Hudson, Liam would definitely want to have a talk with her later. Olivia was caught in a huge dilemma.

Just as she was about to make a choice, the door of the private room suddenly knocked. When the servant opened it, a middle-aged man with a large belly walked in with a beautiful young woman by his side. The middle-aged man held a glass of wine, smiling broadly as he entered the room.

“I heard Mr. Gavyn is here today, so I came especially to offer a toast.”

Olivia breathed a quiet sigh of relief, grateful for the interruption. Sophia had come out for dinner with her dad, Frank Quinn, and had just learned that the Sullivan family was at the same hotel. Frank, eager to discuss a potential project collaboration with the Sullivan Group, found out they were here and that his daughter went to school with their son and even knew each other. Seizing the opportunity, he brought Sophia along to offer a toast and build a closer connection. Sophia, following her dad into the private room, hoped to use this chance to get closer to Hudson. She flashed a sweet, bright smile. However, when she entered the room, expecting to show her obedient side in front of Gavyn and Valeria, she was stunned to see Olivia sitting there. What is she doing here at the Sullivan family gathering?
