Daxton felt weary just watching the crowd’s constant comings and goings, especially those who fawned over
others with no sincerity.
“Have the people from the Kenneth family arrived yet? Daxton asked impatiently.
The butler replied, “Not yet, but the guard posted outside the Kenneth family’s hmentioned that Walden
had left in a car half an hour ago; he should be on his way here.”
Narrowing his eyes, Daxton was plotting how to vent his spleen when the odious elder from the Kenneth family
arrived.
“Go get the cane | had made a few days ago.”
Even if confined to a wheelchair, he could still take Walden from a thousand miles away!
As Daxton was contemplating how to thrash Walden with the cane, Benjamin, along with Qlivia and Alexander,
approached.
. Having maintained a stern face all night, Daxton’s features softened into a smile at the sight of Olivia, his
wrinkled face bloomed.
“Olly, why didn’t you tellyou were coming? My legs aren't what they used to be; | can’t cto you as

to Olivia and warmly ushered her to sit beside him on a sofa, where he fussed over her
comfort.
Just a moment before, he had been a strict and quirky old man-now he seemed like a different person
entirely.
“Cough, grandpa, this is Alexander,” Benjamin interjected, noticing his grandfather had completely ignored the
other guest.
Only then did Daxton notice Alexander.
At the sight of Alexander, even Daxton was momentarily stunned. He had sent an invitation to the Wilson family
as a formality.
But...
Alexander, who never attended banquets, had actually come? And what's more, he was brought along with
Olivia by Benjamin. Could it be... they knew each other?
Daxton was confident in his grandson, but if one of the rivals was Alexander....
They were not playing at the slevel!
“So it’s Alexander, long tno see,” Daxton said calmly
Alexander presented a well-prepared gift and exchanged a few auspicious words.
They both exemplifying the art of pretense perfectly.

Olivia, “We don’t know each other.”
Alexander, “Hmm.”
Daxton fell silent.
Olivia was speechless.

Is Alexander here just to make things difficult for me? Or had he discovered my plans to save money for a
divorce? Is he here to complicate things further, perhaps to extort a higher beach of contract fee?
“To be precise, our acquaintance started just now when Mr. Wilson hit someone, dirtying the small cake on my

Acting was her profession.
Alexander went quiet.

How much did she not want others to know about her acquaintance with me?
Daxton, wasn’t so easily fooled. He keenly sensed that Alexander’s gaze on Olivia was unusually intense.
His look was too fervent.
However...
The only consolation for Daxton was that Olivia seemed completely uninterested in Alexander!
“Alex? What are you doing here?” While Daxton was making his observations, Georgina, dressed in a light golden
gown, suddenly appeared in the hall.
When she saw Alexander, her face immediately brightened with an elegant and beautiful smile, and she walked
gracefully towards him.
Benjamin said to Olivia, “This is Georgina, the CEO of JN Jewelry Store. The accessories for grandpa’s birthday
celebration were all provided by Ms. Georgina
Georgina’s gaze inadvertently shifted to the young woman whom the prince of the Moore family had carefully
introduced.
The sight of Olivia's peerless beauty made her heart skip a beat.
And before Georgina could recover from the impact of Olivia's beauty, she was shocked to discover...
Alexander’s gaze had been fixed on the beautiful young woman all along.
