Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 68

But Marcus always appeared to be too clumsy to stir up trouble. Whenever he provoked me, he would only end up making himself mad. And that was exactly what happened at this moment.

So he could do nothing but to embarrass me.

I frowned while looking at the stained suit jacket, “Mr. Thomson, I suggest you should not leave it to me. Otherwise, you even look worse when standing beside Olivia with a wet suit jacket.”

“Just do it!” the banquet was about to formally begin. Luna got on stage elegantly to deliver opening remarks. Marcus didn’t want to continue to argue with me. He walked over to Olivia while holding a plate of food and handed over to her.

Olivia turned to look at me when noticing Marcus’s sullen face. Then a provocative and disdainful smile showed on her delicate face.

I cast an indifferent glimpse at her as reply. While staring at the stained suit jacket, I was rendered distracted. But then Dennis suddenly approached with a little gift box from nowhere.

He said coldly, “Here is the birthday gift for Mr. Thomas.”

After saying that, he stuffed it on my palm. He frowned while noticing the suit jacket I was holding, “Whose is it?”

“It’s Marcus’s! I accidentally stained his jacket just now.” While speaking, I looked at the box, wondering if he had specifically prepared for it.

He glanced at the jacket impatiently and said, “Just dump it!”

The lobby soon turned to be more bustling when Olivia was led to stage with Luna. I squinted, “Mr. George, why don’t you come on stage with her?”

He seemed to be in a bad mood. So he only replied coldly, “Clara, don’t you deem it necessary to explain your story with Leo?”

If he had asked me the same question about half an hour ago, I would have been patient enough to give a clear explanation. However, now I didn’t even want to talk to him.

I walked over to a trash can, threw the jacket inside and replied coldly, “There is nothing to explain. The truth is what you have seen with your own eyes.”

While on stage, Olivia and Luna hugged each other, showing a touching scene of a reunion of blood. To show her care for her missing girl, Luna announced that she had transferred 50% of her property to Olivia. Meanwhile, Olivia would start to work in different enterprises owed by Luna so as to grow her management skills.

Also, Olivia would move into L Community to live with Luna. After all, it was the reunion of their missing girl. So Samuel also came on stage. With the support of Samuel, one of the powerful in the upper class, Olivia would be the one that no one could afford to offense in both Newton Town and Capitar.

Dennis looked quite sullen. But he didn’t intend to start a quarrel in the midst of such an occasion. He held back his bad mood and said, “Dance with me later.”

I sneered, “Well, I suppose now you should dance with Miss Pearson…Oops…now she should be addressed as Miss Pearson. So I’d better dismiss myself, I reckon.”

“Clara!” he grabbed my wrist so hard that I felt a bit hurt. He tried to suppress his anger, “Stop being willful!”

Being willful?

I almost laughed out loud when hearing that. I nodded while looking at him, “Dennis, stop your sophistry!”

I glanced at Leo with my side view, who was approaching. Then I flung my arm to break free from his grip and walked over to Leo. For me, sometimes an evil would be a better choice though compared to the angel.

Leo squinted with his slanted eyes. Seeing me approaching, he smiled, “Clara, you have never been so active to me before.”

I ignored his shady eyes and asked, “When can I leave?”

“Whenever you want!” he shrugged and showed a smile, “Where would you like to go?”

Since he only asked me to attend the banquet, I deemed myself free to leave whenever I wanted as I had done what he required.

At the thought of that, I lowered my head to look at the box. Then I looked at Luna, who was about to finish her speech.

I walked over while holding the box. She smiled elegantly when seeing me, “Miss Kennedy, I have so many guests to welcome today. Please forgive me if there's anything wrong with hospitality.”

I smiled in a formal way, but feeling a bit restrained, “Mr. Thomas, It’s a great honor for me to be invited. Here is the birthday gift for you. Happy birthday and may your charm be everlasting!”

She couldn’t help grinning. I could tell she did have a nice banquet tonight. She took over the box and replied, “Miss Kennedy, thank you so much for your blessing!”

Samuel, who was taking Olivia to do social talk with other guests, saw me talking with Luna. Then he whispered to Olivia and they both walked over.

Olivia seemed to be a bit displeased when seeing me. But soon she returned to be friendly.

Though Samuel was in the midst of his mid-life, he still looked tough and majestic with his tall figure. While looking at me, he appeared to be kind, “Are you Clara Kennedy?”

I nodded and replied decently, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Lewis.”

He suddenly laughed out brightly. Then he said to Luna, “This girl does look alike you when you were young. And I can even feel that her tough nature seems to be similar to yours.”

Luna nodded and smiled warmly, “I feel the same when I saw her for the first sight. I would really deem you my girl if it weren’t because of the paternity test.”

“So can I just call you Clara?” Samuel asked.

I nodded. But something in the past seemed to pop out in my memory. However, it just flashed away because it had been too long ago. I could notice nothing from it but his voice sounded a bit familiar.

“So your parents…”

“Mom, dad!” Olivia suddenly cut in while walking over elegantly on her high heels with a glass of champagne.

Then she said to both of them, “Uncle Sam is expecting you on the second floor.”

Both Samuel and Luna paused and then looked at me, “Sorry, Miss Kennedy, we have a talk. I am afraid we need to leave now. Please feel free to tell Olivia if you need anything.”

After saying that, they went upstairs.

Then only Olivia and I were left on spot, looking at each other.

“Miss Kennedy, shall we have a talk?” Olivia beckoned, looking a bit arrogant.

The lobby was still bustling with guest and servants coming back and forth. As I was in a mood, I didn’t want to talk to her.

I sighed and required, “Miss Pearson, could you please stay away from me? I don’t think we have anything worth talking.”

“This is the banquet of my mom. Miss Kennedy, where would you like me to stay?” her words sounded sarcastic.

“Oh, sorry, I almost forget that now your family name is no more Pearson. Instead, now you are Olivia Pearson.”

I paused and then continued with a smile, “Since you own the place, I’d better stay away from you, okay?”

“Clara, what’s your offer for your divorce with Dennis?” Olivia stood in front of me to stop me from leaving, “Dennis is one of the most excellent. And I have been in the top. So only I could be qualified enough to be his match. But you, Clara, will never deserve his love.”
