Chapter 411: Olivia Is Extremely Stingy!
After Daxton's last call, mentioning the loss of a child years ago, a thorn lodged itself in Liliana's heart. Moreover, Liliana knew Benjamin, the crown prince of the Moore family, was in the same drama troupe as Olivia, and their relationship was notably close. With Daxton's birthday approaching, Liliana worried Olivia might attend.
โYes,โ Brody nodded slightly.
Liliana said, โI thought our family had always been on bad terms with the Moore family. I didnโt expect them to invite Grandpa to the birthday celebration. Do you think Grandpa will go?โ
Brody wasnโt interested in the affairs of the Moore family. Due to Lilianaโs injury, their plans with Paul had been disrupted. They had initially planned to infiltrate the drama troupe to get close to Olivia, but it all got messed up by Liliana. Knowing Liliana was slightly better, he was planning to drag Paul to the โLegacy of the Dynastyโ set first thing tomorrow morning!
โI donโt know. Grandpa just threw the invitation on the table carelessly. I guess he probably wonโt go,โ Brody answered nonchalantly.
Relieved by this response, Liliana was just about to ask Brody about the wound on her face when she turned around to find that he had already made a quick escape. In an instant, Liliana was stunned. Always pampered by the Kenneth family, she felt neglected and brushed off for the first time. Maybe it was her imagination, but she felt that recently Brody and Paulโs attitude towards her seemed strange. Though they still pampered her, they seemed not to value her issues or her words as much as before.
The next morning, Brody and Paul, dressed in thrift-store clothes, parked their luxury car three miles outside the film city, and rode shared bicycles, huffing and puffing to the โLegacy of the Dynastyโ set. After greeting Felix and ensuring he wouldnโt reveal their identities, they immediately started looking for Olivia.
Just as they spotted Olivia, before they could even speak, Benjamin suddenly appeared in front of her.
โDo you have time this weekend?โ Benjamin asked Olivia.
Olivia blinked. โWhatโs up?โ
Benjamin: โDaxton wants you to come to the party that evening.โ
Olivia tore open a lollipop wrapper and stuffed it in her mouth.
โIโm busy, not going.โ
A birthday party? What a joke. Isnโt a birthday gift expected? And donโt birthday gifts cost money?
Benjamin was taken aback by Oliviaโs blunt refusal.
โWhyโฆ why not?โ
Olivia bluntly said, โGifts are expensive, and Iโm broke. Before I am debt-free, I will always be stingy!โ
Benjamin went quiet. To his surprise, Oliviaโs reason for refusing was refreshingly straightforward.
โI forgot, itโs not just about attending the birthday celebration. I also showed Grandpa your piano solo from school, and he loved it. So, he wants you to play at his birthday party. Hereโs the offer!โ Bergamin quickly shifted his strategy, indicating a sum with his fingers.
Olivia grabbed Benjaminโs hand. โItโs a deal! You provide the piano, and Iโll be there on time!โ
That settles it! Brody, who had been watching the entire exchange, was suddenly struck by a thought. Olivia was also going to Daxtonโs birthday celebration? A thought suddenly arose in Brodyโs mind. He turned abruptly and strode away.
โHey? Where are you going?โ Paul asked.
Brody: โTo persuade Grandpa to attend the Moore familyโs celebration!โ
