Chapter 97: Will You Spend My Birthday with Me?

Sophia was so consumed by jealousy that it felt like she was drowning in vinegar. She couldn’t figure out what on earth was so appealing about Olivia, this so-called ugly duckling!

However, the rest of the class had long grown used to Benjamin’s behavior.

“No need,” Olivia replied, unwilling to admit she was staying at the Wilson Mansion.

Suddenly, her phone chimed. Under Sophia’s bewildered gaze, Olivia took out her phone and opened the message.

Sophia was fuming. What! Didn’t she say her phone was broken?

Ever since Olivia added Noel’s contact, he had pulled her into their group chat. The chat was filled with warriors contributing to the rise of VES. Every day, the group reported on the “battle progress.”

The Monster’s Tough, You Go First typed, “Comrades! We’re on the brink of victory!”

Noel’s username stood out, and he soon sent a screenshot of today’s stock market performance. The previously declining VES stock had surged dramatically over the past few days.

Smart Bright Star replied, “Everyone, type ‘Awesome’ on the screen!”

Support Roamed and Never Returned asked, “Is it too late to sell my house and buy stocks? Waiting for the answer online, urgent!”

Beaten in the Jungle replied, “Just invested three thousand. Quietly smiling, my wife’s dowry is ready.”

Watching the lively chat, Olivia, with the username ‘Instant Riches,’ typed a line. Instant Riches, “All in.”

Support Roamed and Never Returned, “Fake news alert!”

Attack of Elementary Schooler, “I think it’s fake too!”

Noel messaged Olivia privately. “Did you really go all in with your assets?” Though most were contributing out of sentiment, they had only put in a few hundred dollars each. Going all in? That’s some serious dedication!

Olivia replied, “All for the holy war!”

Noel was moved to tears. She deserves to get rich!

After chatting in the group for a bit, Olivia put away her phone. The morning had only a few classes, so school ended early. Isabella, busy preparing for her study abroad plans, didn’t linger as well.

As soon as Olivia stood up, Benjamin casually grabbed her backpack. She looked at him in confusion.

Benjamin answered, “You’re still recovering.”

Olivia was speechless. Classmate, you might as well tattoo “Good Samaritan” on your forehead!

Watching this, Sophia gritted her teeth in frustration, wishing she could take Olivia’s place.

Since there were no afternoon classes, Benjamin eagerly volunteered to walk Olivia home. Just as Olivia…

The moment Alice saw Olivia, she dashed over like a bullet. Olivia hurriedly reached out to catch her and glanced at the towering bodyguard in sunglasses standing behind the child.

“What are you doing here?”

“My brother said you were sick, so I came to see you. I’ve been waiting for days but never saw you.” Alice pouted, her cheeks puffing with grievance.

From a young age, Alice loved racing and dreamed of becoming a professional racer when she grew up. However, she rarely saw female racers. Olivia was the first one she’d ever met in person. Not only that, but she had even beaten her brother! To Alice, Olivia was a true idol.

Benjamin frowned slightly, watching the rival family’s little princess cling to Olivia.

“Olivia, do you have classes this afternoon?” Alice asked expectantly, tilting her head.

“No classes,” Olivia replied, her patience for children was high.

“Then, can you spend my birthday with me? Today’s my birthday, but I’ve always celebrated it alone…” Alice trailed off, lowering her head, looking heartbreakingly pitiful.
