Chapter 699
Time seemed to cease. Janice’s and Olivia’s beauty was too surreal to be true.
One of them was like a flower blooming in spring while the other was like the moon in fall.
Kenneth’s fingers tightened around his wine gla*s. It felt like a dream to him. He began doubting if that
was the Janice he knew.
Countless images of Janice smashing items and her anguish screams played in his mind. His memories
of her had always been of her begging him not to go or her scolding and humiliating Jessica.
Now, her cold gaze swept across the crowd like that of a superior woman. It didn’t stay on him for a
second.
It was so unfamiliar that it seemed like they were strangers.
On the other hand, Darrell was staring at Olivia in a daze. He was aware of how pretty she was, but he
didn’t expect her to turn into a belle in that minimalistic dress.
As she looked at everyone with an indifferent gaze, she ignited his sense of competitiveness for some
reason.
The three’s appearance drew everyone’s attention.
Janice’s situation was completely different from people’s description, especially when they saw that she
was standing by Harold’s side.
Jessica-Mrs. Miller Senior-couldn’t even come near him.
She had dolled herself up, even getting a manicure.
However, Janice managed to impress everyone with her inherent grace as someone who grew up in a
rich family.
Compared to Janice, Jessica was like a Christmas tree. Jessica wore the most expensive gown and a lot
of accessories.
All of them fell silent upon Harold’s appearance.
Jessica didn’t miss how Kenneth was stunned by Janice’s beauty. Jessica almost crushed all her teeth from clenching her jaw!
In order to let everyone know that she was the host, she lifted her gown and approached Harold.
A sweet smile was plastered on her face. “Dad, why didn’t you call me to bring you over?”
She walked toward behind the wheelchair, pushing Janice away unobtrusively to show her position in the
Miller family.
Janice disapproved of Jessica and commented in her head, “Attention-seeker.”
Janice figured that Jessica was waiting for her to get mad and humiliate her in front of everyone. That
way, Jessica would be able to make up an excuse to put herself down to earn everyone’s sympathy.
Jessica was never tired of this kind of play, but unfortunately for her, Janice didn’t even spare her a
glance.
Since Jessica was trying to be a good daughter-in-law, Janice gladly took the chance to enjoy her
freedom.
Janice turned and left without a care of the world.
At the same time, Harold was wearing a long face because Ethan hadn’t shown up.
Jessica thought that it was her win, hence the warm salutation.
It made Olivia’s skin crawl and worsened her gastric. She whispered a few words to Harold before he waved his hand gently at her. “Go ahead. Grab something to eat. You’re too skinny.”
Nodding, Olivia headed to the food section under watchful eyes. She left Jessica alone with her one-man
show.
Even so, Jessica was in a good mood as she thought that no one could waver her position in the Miller family.
She was planning to drive Janice out of the house once the banquet was over to take her revenge.
Olivia grabbed some food and sat on the couch. She had taken medicines before this. They staved off the pain in the beginning, but they weren’t helping much right now.
It hurt so much that she drew a sharp breath. She drank some warm water to alleviate the discomfort. “Olivia, you don’t look well. Are you alright?”
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
