The Beginning Of All Sins

Chapter 103
That afternoon, the car sent by the Harrises arrived to drive Olivia to Harris
Residence.
When she walked into the living room, Ana greeted her, saying, “It's going to be
quite an event today. Come greet everyone with me.”
Knowing it was Maisy’s party, Olivia anticipated meeting the high—society guests,
including Maisy’s best friends and their daughters—in—law. However, she
hesitated, realizing the gravity of the
occasion. “This might not be a good idea, Aunt Ana.”
Though Ana appeared friendly, Olivia sensed an undercurrent of disapproval in
her gaze.
“What isn't a good idea? Do you think it would be better if your sister came?”
Ana's tone hinted at a warning.
“No, that's not what I meant.
“Then greet the guests. If you mess this up, you'll have to answer to me.” Ana,
adorned in a deep purple gown, turned and walked away, leaving Olivia standing
in silence.
Olivia accompanied Ana, mingling with the guests and attending to Maisy’s
needs. She executed her duties flawlessly, earning smiles from both Ana and
Maisy.

The room fell silent as all eyes turned towards the newcomer. Maisy and Olivia
followed the gazes, recognizing the man who had arrived: Claude.
Olivia thought she was mistaken, but after she took a closer look, who else could
the man in a white casual pants and a kind face be other than Claude?
Maisy’s smile disappeared, and Ana’s expression soured.
Everyone looked anxious, yet the man stood apart, his demeanor calm and
gentle, though more
somber than usual.
Ignoring the tension, Claude approached Maisy politely. “Grandma.”
Maisy’s response was curt and uninviting. “What are you doing here?”
“I've been teaching in different places in the past few years. I just came to see
you now that I'm back.”
“I'm well, so you don’t have to do this. Just take care of yourself.” Maisy’s tone
was chilly.
But Claude remained unruffled. He smiled and replied, “That's the least I could
do.”
