Chapter 172
Olivia belatedly realized that there was still a banquet to organize. A feeling of
apprehension filled her as she asked, “Who did you invite?”
“No one you know. Oh, maybe one or two you might be acquainted with,” Tyler
replied. “Do you have any names in mind? If so, give me a list.”
“No, I don’t have anyone in mind.”
“Alright. I'll invite a few people we both know then,” Tyler said before leaving.
Olivia watched him go, perplexed. What was that supposed to mean?
“Send an invitation to Claude Pearce,” Tyler ordered his assistant.
“Got it. Should we inform the Pearces about Olivia's new identity? It would save
us some trouble from misunderstandings.”
Tyler's expression turned cold. “Did I ask for your opinion?”
Tyler rarely scolded his staff. The assistant was reminded of her blunder at the
hospital. “Sorry, that
was my mistake,” she stammered. “Um, Mrs. Jones asked when the IVF
procedure will start.”
“After the banquet,” Tyler decided, hoping to avoid appearing impatient.
But the Joneses, as it turned out, were more impatient than expected.
“They don't want to wait until then. They've been pressing us, and even the
hospital,” the assistant informed, sensing that her boss was hesitating. “I don’t
think we can drag on any longer, Mr. Tyler.”
Tyler closed his eyes, frowning. After a while, he said, “Alright, let's move the
banquet date forward.”
Claude had considered calling Olivia to check on her, but before he could, a maid
delivered a letter. An invitation from the Harrises. For a wedding banquet.”
“A... banquet?”
Whose wedding was it? Wasn't Naomi still unwell?
He opened the letter and fell silent as he read its contents. Sophie descended
the stairs just then and asked, “What's that?"
