Chapter 429: What, You Two Can Collude?
At the banquet, Liliana felt like her heart was about to burst. Oliviaโs appearance completely threw her into disarray, and the surrounding guests were full of praise and astonishment at Oliviaโs piano performance. However, a discordant voice suddenly reached Lilianaโs ears.
โWhy would the Moore family invite such an artist to the banquet? Donโt they find it embarrassing? Thinking she can seduce Alex just because sheโs pretty?โ
Liliana looked toward the source and saw a slightly tipsy Georgina glaring at Olivia with venomous eyes. A flicker of recognition crossed Lilianaโs eyes when she saw Georgina. They had met once at a charity event, though they werenโt well acquainted.
Butโฆ she vaguely remembered hearing something about Georgina from Amelia. Georgina was Alexanderโs childhood sweetheart, deeply attached to him. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. A calculating glint crossed Lilianaโs eyes as she slowly approached Georgina.
โSheโs here at the Moore familyโs event only because sheโs clinging to the Wilson familyโs coattails.โ
Georgina, caught in her sulking, suddenly heard someone speak and turned to see a woman wearing glasses and a mask beside her.
โWhat are you saying? What does this woman attending the dinner have to do with the Wilson family? An unpopular little artist; Alex probably doesnโt even know who she is.โ
Georgina frowned slightly. Liliana was somewhat surprised by Georginaโs response. It turned out Georgina didnโt know that the woman playing the piano was Alexanderโs wife.
โMs. Georgina, I really pity you.โ
Georgina asked, โWho are you?โ
Liliana replied, โWho I am doesnโt matter. Whatโs important is that youโre watching a woman from the countryside suddenly appear and steal your man. That must be hard, right? And the worst part is, you donโt even realize that such an unpopular female artist playing the piano in front of you is the new bride the Wilson family brought home, Alexanderโs wifeโฆโ
โWhat? Sheโs Alexโs wife? Thatโs impossible!โ Georgina was stunned. She couldnโt reconcile the beautiful woman before her with the timid Olivia associated with the Wilson family.
โBelieve it or not, you can investigate it yourself to be sure. Hereโs my contact number; you can call me anytime if you have any questions.โ
After that, Liliana turned and walked away. Fortunately, Daxton had taken Walden to the study earlier. Liliana guessed that the two arguing elders wouldnโt have time to watch the performance in the floral hall. I just need to find Grandpa, excuse myself by claiming I felt unwell, and take him awayโฆ Then I still have a chance to turn everything around!
Soon, Oliviaโs first piece ended, and as she stood up from the piano, countless admiring eyes were glued to her, swaying with her every move. They pulled out all the stops to keep such a stunning girl from leaving the venue. Howeverโฆ Olivia swiftly picked up her long trailing gown and ran off in a pair of canvas shoes. Her speed left the men attempting to approach her dumbfounded.
Right now, Olivia had only one thing on her mind: I want to eat meat! Heaven knows, knowing she was coming to the Moore familyโs celebration tonight, she had skipped both breakfast and lunch just so she could stuff herself with a few more delicacies.
