NovelXXXChapter 437
The birthday celebration was held at a villa nestled in the hills, and once it was over, it would be inconvenient for
her to head halone.
Isadora planned to give her a ride when they left together later.
Victor gently rubbed her slender fingers, clearly worried about her going back by herself. "If you need anything,
letknow."
Colby grinned. "The bond between Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald really is something special."
Not wanting to seem clingy in front of everyone, Isadora replied, "Got it. I'll let you get back to your business
talk."
Upstairs, in one of the villa's third-floor rooms-
Olivia stormed in, fuming, and immediately threw a pillow across the room.
"| can't believe this! I've never been so humiliated in my life! Ugh!"
Andrina followed behind, picking up the discarded pillow. "Alright, Olivia, calm down."
"The Fitzgeralds are the richest family in Capitolion-even your grandfather has to show Victor srespect. Why
did you have to go and provoke that woman just now?"
Olivia pressed a hand to her stinging cheek, her chest tight with anger as she sat on the bed. "I just can't stand
women like her!"
"Why should everyone tiptoe around her, just because she latched onto Victor? She's nothing but a gold-digger!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAndrina shrugged. "That's how the world works. If you're so upset, go find yourself a powerful man who'll protect
you, too."
Olivia shot back, "All the best men in Capitolion have already been snatched up by her. What am | supposed to
do now?"
"That's why you should behave yourself, Olivia," Andrina said, her tone warning. "We nearly lost all dignity out
there."
"Mom, my face is still burning and you keep siding with that vixen! Are you even my mother?"
A maid entered, handing Andrina a warm towel-wrapped egg, which she gently pressed to Olivia's face. "I'm
telling you this because | am your mother. That woman's pregnant-she's the golden ticket in the Fitzgerald family
right now. There's no sense in going head-to-head with her and making things worse for ourselves."
Olivia cupped her swollen cheek, eyes wide with indignation. "Why should she get everything?"
Andrina knew her daughter had been spoiled and still didn't understand
how the world really worked. "Because she's the legitimate Mrs. Fitzgerald. That's all there is to it."
"Victor must be blind, letting that woman seduce him. Mom, I'm just as beautiful—
if I'd met Victor sooner, maybe I'd be Mrs. Fitzgerald today."
Andrina tried to soothe her. "Yes, yes, you're my gorgeous girl. I'll find you a wonderful match. Besides the
Fitzgeralds, isn't Magnus from Wainwright Holdings still single?"
At that, Olivia sprang to her feet. "Magnus? He's that vixen's ex! | won't settle for her leftovers."
Andrina hesitated, surprised to realize Isadora had managed to capture the attention of the two most powerful
men in Capitolion.
"Alright, forget Magnus. Maybe I'll arrange a chat with the Fawcett family instead-they're old money,
frespected, and a good fit for
your background."
Olivia didn't seem interested.
Right now, Victor was the only one she wanted.
Why should she settle for anyone else? The only reason Isadora had any status
was because of the baby-take that away, and she'd have nothing.
Olivia pressed the warm egg to her cheek, her mind already plotting. She wasn't about to let those two slaps go
unanswered.
"We'll talk about it later," she said dismissively.
Andrina finished tending to her,

As for the Fawcett family-Olivia was at the right age now.
If she could marry well, it would boost her status within the Walsh family, and
maybe, with the right husband, she'd finally learn srestraint.
Andrina already had a plan in mind. Tomorrow, she'd invite Mrs. Beaumont for afternoon tea to discuss it.
