Olivia knew the answer to how close heaven and hell could be. Losing over a hundred million in the blink. of an eye was a sensation she could now vividly describe.
“Why would Alexander give me this for no reason?” she muttered.
Vance grinned like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “Lovel This is love! Pure, unfiltered love!”
The corner of Olivia’s mouth twitched. That joke was even remotely funny.
“Don’t look so skeptical, Olivia! I’ll prove it. I’ll call Alex right now and let him explain himself, Vance said. undeterred by her lack of enthusiasm. He quickly dialed Alexander’s number..
“Alex, I’m with Olivia right now… Yeah, here, you can talk to her.” Without waiting for a reply, Vance shoved the phone into Olivia’s hand.
Olivia frowned, clearly unamused but resigned to her fate.
“Hello, came Alexander’s voice from the other end of the line.
She glanced at the overly eager Vance and asked bluntly, “You sent the stuff?”
Are you out of your mind?
“Yeah,” Alexander replied, his tone casual, almost indifferent.
As if reading her thoughts, he added slowly, “Didn’t you say you wanted to put on a show?”
“What?” Olivia blinked, confused.
“Vance is with you. He’ll report back to Grandpa”
Realization dawned on her. So, the gifts aren’t about affection. They’re just for appearances because Vance is here: It’s all just an act for Grandpa?
That was surprising for Olivia. Usually, she had to drag Alexander into playing along.
Alexander taking the initiative for once caught her off guard.
“Oh, I see,” she replied, her voice now calm.
“Mm.”
Satisfied, she hung up, her earlier doubts resolved.
“See! Didn’t I say this was Alex’s way of showing his love for you?” Vance chimed in excitedly, completely oblivious to the actual conversation.
Olivia shot him a look, one that screamed, Are you serious?
Meanwhile, Alexander stared at his phone, the corner of his lips curving into a faint, almost imperceptible
smile.

“Mr. Wilson, about the contract…” David wiped an invis ble bead of sweat from his brow, his tone cautious.
Alexander placed his phone down, gave the contract a quick glance, and signed without hesitation.
David nearly choked. Ihat just happened? We’ve been negotiating this for days, and now he’s suddenly agreeable?
“Thank you for personally coming out for this, Mr. Wilson,” David said, trying to mask his shock. “By the way, I heard you recently purchased a pink diamond at Miller Auctions?”
“Mm. A kid at home likes it,” Alexander replied.
David froze. A kid? Isn’t Mr. Vance the youngest in the Wilson family, and he’s over twenty?
Sensing it was better not to ask further, David wisely kept his thoughts to himself.
The filming of “A Little Spark of Joy” wrapped up, and the edited version of the first episode of “With You, Under the Sky” aired.
During the livestream, Olivia’s performance had already stood out, and the edited version instantly turned her portrayal of a shameless’opportunist into a comedic hit with the audience.
Originally, Tobie had only planned to bring Olivia on for one episode because of Hudson, but with all the buzz she was generating, he jumped at the chance to ride the wave and got her onboard for the second. episode.
Soon after, “With You, Under the Sky” released a promotional teaser for its second episode. Apart from Hudson, who was a one–time guest, the rest of the cast remained unchanged, with two mysterious newcomers added to the mix.
Amelia stared at the updated guest list with a flicker of uncertainty in her eyes.
Daisy scoffed, “Who knows what kind of dumb luck Olivia stumbled into, managing to get into Mr. Tobie’s new variety show.”
Daisy had always disliked Olivia.
“That day, Olivia’s fan pulled out that Lover’s Bridge gift, obviously trying to show you up. And after all the effort you’ve put into looking out for her? What an ungrateful b*tch, pretending to be a good sister!”
Amelia gave a soft, delicate smile. “She’s still my sister, after all…”
Daisy snorted. “Sister? Has she ever treated you like one? She’s just a washed–up D–list actress. If it wasn’t for your recommendation, would she have even gotten into the Mr. Jos cast? Without that, do you think Mr. Tobie would ever consider inviting some no–name to his show?”
Amelia bit her lip.
Daisy sighed as if in earnest. “It’s obvious Olivia’s trying to climb over you to rise to fame. You need to wake up! She’s already invited to Mr. Tobie’s second episode. If she becomes a star, do you think she’ll leave any room for you?”

Olivia had changed so much recently. One streak of good fortune after another left Amelia feeling restless.
She couldn’t let Olivia keep sailing through life unchanged. Before Olivia could rise to prominence, Amelia had to crush her completely.
With a cold glint of calculation in her eyes, Amelia left the room and made a phone call.
