Chapter 417: Is Alexander Out of His Mind Tonight?
“I can’t eat anymore,” Olivia frowned.
How about that? Isn’t my acting impressive? It’s clear Alexander and I aren’t acquainted.
Olivia’s nonchalant response truly shocked the onlookers, who were enjoying the unfolding drama. Some, by her appearance alone, knew Olivia was just a minor celebrity beginning to gain some fame. Although it was unclear what Jason had said to Olivia moments ago, the wealthy heirs present weren’t much better; just by looking at Olivia, they could guess Jason’s intentions.
Alexander’s arrival was like a hero saving the damsel in distress. If it were any other woman, not just a minor celebrity but even a noble from a rich family, they would probably cling to Alexander for dear life! But this minor celebrity did quite the opposite.
Everyone was stunned. Instead of thanking him, she even complained that Alexander had dirtied her cake? With a whole table of little cakes behind you, do you really need to fuss over just one? Open your eyes, you’re in front of Mr. Wilson! How many nobles present would have loved to be in her shoes? Normally, getting close to Alexander, let alone seeing him, is as difficult as reaching the heavens!
Yet, as everyone was gnashing their teeth with envy at Olivia’s behavior, Alexander’s glance swept over Olivia’s face without a hint of displeasure. Instead… a wave of unprecedented helplessness quickly overwhelmed Alexander’s heart. He had only learned a few days ago, from an invitation found at home, that Olivia would be attending the Moore family’s birthday celebration. For this, he had Vance specially obtain an invitation to the Moore family’s event.
Seeing Olivia, who looked completely unacquainted with him as if to say, “Who are you? I don’t know you at all,” he suddenly reached out.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he took the plate from Olivia’s hands. Striding over to the buffet table, he grabbed a clean plate and picked up several pieces of cake, handing them back to Olivia.
“Here, these are clean. Eat up.”
The crowd was stunned. Is this Mr. Wilson? The one who’s supposedly immune to women? Could he have fallen head over heels? They could almost smell a scent of indulgence in the air. Mia, who was closest to Olivia, felt like she was being forced to be a third wheel.

“I really can’t eat anymore.”
She genuinely felt a bit sick from the sweets. She wanted meat instead.
Alexander squinted his eyes, but not displeased as others might have guessed.
“Then don’t eat.”
Olivia said nothing, casually picking up a cocktail and was about to take a sip. Alexander quickly took the drink away. Before she could protest, a glass of juice was thrust into her hand.
Olivia was stunned. What’s wrong with Alexander tonight? Has he forgotten the pre-marriage agreement? I have already acted my part so well, why is he still causing chaos here? Didn’t he see, because of him, all the guests’ eyes in this garden were now focused on us?
Olivia was just thankful that there were few guests in the garden. The fallen Jason was carried out by the Moore family’s servants, and it was later found out that he hadn’t been invited at all. He had pleaded with a distant relative for a long time to reluctantly bring him along. And before the celebration could even officially start, he had already been whisked away by an ambulance.
As for why Jason was beaten to a bloody pulp, everyone present chose to conveniently forget the incident. Only a fool would offend Mr. Wilson over a nobody like Jason.
