Chapter 410: Olive Shone Brightly
Olive observed the unfolding drama from the sidelines. She needed to seize the initiative, to create a breakthrough. Within the Paulo family, she chose Nora. As for Marvin, anticipating her possible expulsion, she opted for Lily, ever protective of her son. With Lily's help securing the lead, the next phase would be significantly easier.
Lily, witnessing her son's infatuation with Charlotte, angrily pushed her away, sparking a feud. Given Lily's temperament, a peaceful future for Charlotte seemed unlikely. Olive realized that if Lily performed her part well, success would be assured.
Marvin intervened, helping Charlotte to her feet and holding her. "Charlotte, are you alright? Never mind that mad woman," he said.
Lily's anger intensified, her teeth trembling. She turned to Olive, shouting, "Olive, what are you doing? Save my son!"
Olive stepped onto the stage, approaching Marvin. "Marvin, come with me. I will save you."
Marvin recoiled, his disgust evident. "Get out!" he coldly commanded.
Lily visibly relaxed.
Olive, regret lacing her tone, said, "Marvin, I didn't intend to be violent, but you were very disobedient." She swiftly produced a silver needle, and before Marvin could react, it was inserted into his acupuncture point. He lost consciousness.
"Marvin! Marvin!" Lily cried, her gaze fixed on Olive. "Olive, you killed him! If you hadn't done this, the Paulo family wouldn't have a chance to harm him. You must save him. You owe him this!"
Olive nodded, acknowledging that had she not injured Marvin, Jean's actions would have been unsuccessful. "Mrs. Augustine," she said, "I will save him."
The door burst open, and medical personnel rushed in, carrying Marvin away on a stretcher. Mr. Paulo, noticing the unusual appearance of these medical professionals, narrowed his eyes. "Olive," he asked, "who are you?"
Olive smiled subtly. "Who am I? The Paulos will soon find out."
"Where are you going?" he pressed.
"The Underground Scientific Research Facility," she replied.
Mr. Paulo was astounded. He recognized these weren't ordinary doctors, but rather scientific researchers. He'd just witnessed Olive's impressive acupuncture skills, a feat he hadn't seen before.

Her long residence in Imperial had concealed her medical expertise, a secret now revealed to Mr. Paulo. She smiled enigmatically at him. "Mr. Paulo, you should come; your grandson, Jean, is awaiting you there."
Olive and her entourage departed. The stunned audience erupted with questions:
"God, who is Olive? She can use a needle!" "Her aura was so powerful, the medical staff obeyed her implicitly!" "Let's go see! Let's go to the research facility!"
The wedding guests dispersed, eager to witness the unfolding events. Mr. Paulo's heart sank. Olive possessed extraordinary medical skills and had lured his grandson, Jean, into her trap. The climax would clearly play out in the underground facility.
Alpha turned to Damien. "Let's join the fun!"
Damien pushed Mrs. Robert's wheelchair. "Okay." Alpha smiled thinly, noting Olive's successful capture of Damien's attention.
The facility's parking lot overflowed. Mrs. Robert, pushed by Damien, stood alongside Alpha and Lily, joined by Mr. Paulo, Charlotte, and Elvis—all anxious to see if Olive would save Marvin.
After a tense wait, Lily's impatience flared. "Where is Olive? Why hasn't she arrived? Is she playing games with us?"
Whispers rippled through the crowd:
"Olive wouldn't lie, would she?" "Let's wait and see what Olive's up to."
The underground facility's door opened, revealing scientists in white coats, respectfully awaiting a VIP. A black car arrived, and Olive emerged, her slender figure striking.
Olive walked forward, Elle hurrying to her side, speaking reverently, "Professor Hart, you're back. We've been waiting."
Olive nodded, unzipped her black coat, revealing a pristine white coat beneath.

The crowd watched as Olive approached, her white coat a striking contrast. Her slim figure, with jet-black hair in a low ponytail, blended seamlessly with the scientists. She held a medical document, whispering to Elle. Sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating her figure. Her white dress billowed slightly, and her aura commanded attention, radiating an almost ethereal glow.
