Rebirth of a Flopped Actress: Career First, Love Second

Chapter 418: Are Her Eyes Like Sniper Scopes? Can They Headshot?

Olivia, clutching her juice, moved with a steady rhythm. "Well, I can't see anything! I can't hear, too!" She wasn’t familiar with the person next to her at all. She definitely wouldn’t break the agreement, giving Alexander a chance to impose a penalty for breach.

Alexander didn’t speak either, just stood a few steps away from Olivia, calmly sipping his drink. Even without speaking, his presence alone commanded attention. Not a blade of grass grows within a hundred miles!

Initially attracted by Olivia’s beauty, the young men present, under the oppressive aura Alexander naturally exuded, wisely kept their distance. Although it was unclear how she got into the Moore family’s birthday banquet, even a fool could see Alexander had taken a liking to her. They, being nobodies, had no chance when competing with such an outstanding figure as Alexander.

Olivia soon noticed. Wherever she glanced, the young men in her view scrambled as if targeted by a laser pointer, frantically turning their heads to hide. "What’s going on? Do my eyes work like sniper scopes? Can they take a headshot?" Olivia found it odd but didn’t care much. After all, she was here to eat, drink, and collect an appearance fee. Being unnoticed is better. Of course, if Alexander could keep his distance, she felt she could make her presence even less noticeable.

“You’re here?”

Just as Olivia was mastering the art of being inconspicuous, a smiling voice suddenly appeared. The moment Benjamin saw Olivia, he ran over to her. Benjamin, dressed in formal attire tonight, appeared less youthful and more mature and steady.

“I told grandpa you were here; he’s been asking me to find you everywhere. Perfect, you can come with me to meet him,” Benjamin said, his eyes crinkling with joy.

Olivia replied, “Okay.”

Strange, why does it suddenly feel much colder around here? Just as Benjamin was about to take Olivia to meet Daxton, he saw Alexander standing silently to the side. At the sight of Alexander, a flicker of surprise crossed Benjamin’s eyes. Though he hadn’t yet taken over the Moore family business, he had heard numerous stories about…

Among the younger generation, Alexander was highly regarded by Daxton and others, often encouraging Benjamin to learn from him. This was his first encounter with the proverbial child from another family.

“Mr. Wilson,” Benjamin greeted him politely with a nod.

Alexander eyed this youngster who never missed an opportunity to encroach on his territory, even in public.

“Daxton, where is he? Haven’t seen him in a while; I should wish him well.”

Planning to take my wife? That’s not going to happen. I’m going too.

“Grandpa is in the main hall, let’s go together,” Benjamin responded, leading Olivia and Alexander there.

About to call Mia.

Mia said, “Give me some personal space; I’m just here to hang around.”

Only a fool couldn’t see the weird atmosphere among these three. She didn’t want to die, or be the third wheel. Just treat me as an extra, forget about me!

Naturally, Benjamin wouldn’t insist.

In the hall, Daxton sat in a wheelchair as numerous business tycoons and political figures flowed in to offer their congratulations, one luxurious birthday gift after another arriving for the Moore family. Daxton remained expressionless, at most nodding to acknowledge. Beyond that, not a smile was seen. If it weren’t for helping Benjamin woo Olivia, he wouldn’t have bothered with such a tiresome birthday banquet!
