Chapter 75
“So he’s not immune to parental pressure,” Olivia sighed,
Gary sighed.“The Sir is just… reserved, especially in matters of romance?
Is he…? What about Ann Maxwell? Olivia didn’t believe nothing bad happened between them. Most likely, they were in love, but Evan ended things unilaterally, and Ann Maxwell was still in love with him. Maybe he still cared, but he liked to play mind games….
Olivia silently imagined this scenario, saying aloud, “Don’t worry, Pare decides these things. Maybe the next eligible lady he meets will win his heart.”

The two who’d been gossiping about their boss were mortified,
Evan looked at them coolly.“Stop cooking, Grab a chair, buy some melon seeds, and go chat outside by the entrance! Olivia, after some thought, followed him outside, near the study.

She paused, answering, “Hello, Chairman.”
“Olivia, you and Julian need to talk things over calmly. Avoiding him isn’t a solution. Come home for dinner tomorrow night.” Shaw Huishan’s tone was gentle yet firm.
