Ethan seemed incredulous. “You’re really here? At Grey Holdings?”
“Yes,” I snapped. “Now get down here.”
He quickly agreed. “I’ll be right down, Wait in the lobby for me.”
I ended the call and walked into the sleek lobby of Grey Holdings. The marble floors gleamed under the crystal chandeliers, and I chose a leather sofa near the reception area.
Before Ethan arrived, however, I encountered another familiar face. A woman in a cream-white Chanel approached, carrying a white designer bag with light blue patterns.
Her style was seven or eight points similar to mine, and her hairstyle was exactly the same as mine. I initially didn’t recognize her but noticed the woman’s similar attire and took a second look.
It was Cassandra Evans.
I frowned, feeling as though I was being targeted by something dirty. The blatant imitation was both pathetic and infuriating.
Noticing my gaze, Cassandra stiffened and frowned, walking toward me. “Olivia Winters?”
Cassandra’s mind seemed to race, and her expression darkened. I remained seated on the sofa, looking up at her with a mocking smile.
“Oh, it’s you,” I said with deliberate condescension. “For a moment, I thought you were one of my younger sisters. Did you recently start imitating me, playing the ‘pathetic replacement’ card?”
Cassandra’s face paled as she realized I had seen through her imitation. “Imitate you? Heh, you’re too narcissistic. Do I need to imitate you?”
She adjusted her expression, trying to regain her composure.
I scrutinized Cassandra from head to toe and chuckled softly.
“What are you laughing at?” Cassandra asked, clearly annoyed.
“I suddenly remembered a classic tale,” I replied, looking directly at her. “I don’t know if Miss Evans has ever heard of the saying about a plain woman trying to copy a beauty’s frown?”
Cassandra’s face turned green. Of course, she knew the story I was referencing.
“I’ve never seen someone as narcissistic as you,” Cassandra retorted. “Is this style of dress your patent?”
I laughed genuinely. “Of course, the dress is not my patent. Miss Evans, you just happen to dress like me, your hairstyle is similar to mine, your makeup is similar to mine, and even the perfume you use is exactly the same as mine, right?”
I paused for effect. “Everything is a coincidence. You’re certainly not imitating. I just happened to be here.” Cassandra’s expression was extremely unpleasant, her carefully constructed facade crumbling.
“Olivia!” a joyful voice suddenly interrupted before she could respond.
Cassandra was stunned. My face darkened as I coldly looked toward Ethan Grey approaching us.
Cassandra glared at me. “You’re here to find Ethan? Olivia, you broke up with him a long time ago. Why are you still pestering him? Are you that desperate for a man?”
I sneered. “Do you think everyone is like you, picking up garbage as if it were treasure?”
As Ethan approached, my words landed in his ears. The phrase “picking up trash” clearly stung him. I could see the disappointment flash across his features, but he seemed accustomed to such treatment.
He knew he deserved such words.
“Olivia, it’s good you’re alright,” Ethan said, his expression softening. His blue eyes filled with what looked like affection.
This display set me off completely. I abruptly stood up and slapped him across the face with all my strength. *c***k!” The sharp sound echoed through the lobby, drawing the attention of passersby.
The receptionist and some female employees of Grey Holdings were shocked. Ethan was a handsome man, and the brutal slap made several people gasp audibly.
“Olivia Winters, are you crazy!” Cassandra shouted in anger, distressed by the assault on Ethan.
Cassandra grabbed Ethan’s arm. “Ethan, are you alright? Let me see your face.”
Ethan’s head had been turned by the force of my slap, but he quickly brushed off Cassandra’s concern and locked eyes with me.
With a pained expression, Ethan asked, “What’s wrong, Olivia?”
My voice was cold and sharp, emanating a chilling aura. “Did you call the police?”
Ethan replied without hesitation. “Yes, I was worried about you after learning you were kidnapped. I was afraid something would happen to you.”
My face was full of anger as I stared at him. “How do you know that I was kidnapped by Frederick Warner? Did Vanessa Reed tell you?”
(Ethan’s POV)
My expression changed drastically at Olivia’s question. The blood drained from my face as I realized how much she had already figured out.
Vanessa had contacted me through our encrypted communication channel just hours ago. She had repeatedly instructed me not to let Olivia or Connor know about our alliance.
Her violet eyes had been desperate when she called. “Promise me, Ethan. No matter what happens, you cannot reveal our connection.”
I had agreed without thinking. Now I understood why she was so insistent.
Raymond Lewis had been arrested by pack enforcement. Even if Olivia discovered my connection to his criminal operations against her, it wouldn’t matter much anymore.
But this was different. This was about Frederick Warner and Grace’s k********
*g.
“I don’t know about any k********g plan,” I said quickly, my voice strained. “I only knew you had been abducted by Frederick. That’s why I reported it to the authorities.”
My hands trembled slightly as I spoke. “I was trying to save you.”
Olivia’s amber eyes flashed with impatience. Her wolf was bristling beneath her skin, and I could sense her supernatural energy radiating outward.
“How did you know I was abducted to Cloudmere?” she pressed, her voice sharp as a blade.
I hesitated, my ice-blue eyes shifting nervously. The truth was too dangerous to reveal completely.
“Someone from Frederick’s criminal network informed me,” I said finally.
The lie felt bitter on my tongue, but I couldn’t expose Vanessa. Not when our pack was already in such a precarious position.
Olivia’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “Why would Frederick’s people inform you of such sensitive information?” I took a deep breath, knowing I had to give her something closer to the truth. “When Grey Holdings was failing financially, a man named Samuel Blackwood offered investment.”
My voice grew quieter as I continued. “In exchange for becoming a controlling shareholder, he wanted me to do favors for ‘Brother Zhou.”
Olivia’s expression remained cold, but I could see her processing this information.
“Samuel knew about my past relationship with you,” I admitted. “He knew about my conflicts with the Rivers pack. He planned to use me as a weapon against Connor.”
The words tasted like ash in my mouth. “Frederick told me that hurting Connor meant taking away what he cherished most. Separating him from you was the easiest way to accomplish this goal.”
Olivia’s face showed no emotion, but her scent carried waves of disgust that made me flinch.
I reached out instinctively, trying to touch her hand. “Olivia, I’m sorry-“
She slapped my hand away with supernatural speed. Her wolf’s protective instincts flared, and I could feel the power radiating from her small frame.
