The Beginning Of All Sins

Chapter 9
The next morning, Mrs. Jones didn’t inquire about the details of the previous
night when Olivia caine downstairs, nor did she ask where they had gone. She
simply served her a bowl of soup.
Olivia was afraid that she would ask. The uneasiness of having her privacy
invaded had been bothering her. She felt as if she had been exposed to the
world, naked and vulnerable.
After finishing the soup, she said, “I'm going to school now.” She had taken leave
earlier, and since it had ended yesterday, she needed to return to school.
“Alright, go ahead,” Mrs. Jones replied.
Olivia didn’t say anything more and left the house. She took a taxi to school while
holding her phon
With her head down, she glanced at the screen. There was a phone number, and
it displayed Tyler's name. He had saved it in her phone last night for
convenience, he had said.
She held onto her phone tightly.
Today, she had a physical education class, which was an elective. They ran laps
on the field while the teacher blew the whistle. Olivia usually had good stamina,
but today was different. She found herself panting after running just two laps.
She felt weak and tired.
Afterward, the teacher allowed them to do as they pleased.
Sophie Pearce, Olivia's friend, caught up to her. She grabbed her shoulders and
asked, “Is it true that you and Jacob have broken up?”
Olivia didn’t want to hear Jacob’s name. She tried to leave, but Sophie held onto
her arm. “Olivia.”
Reluctantly, she stopped and replied, “Yes.”
“But you usually need a reason to break up. Is it because he’s from an ordinary
family?” Sophie asked.
Olivia shook her head. She had never complained about Jacob. On the contrary,
she envied him. He had a peaceful and loving family with parents who cared for
him.
That was why she dreamed of having her own house after getting married to him.
It did not have to be big. She would be happy that they could live together.
However, she didn't say anything in response to Sophie’s question. She was too
exhausted. She panted as she made her way to a nearby chair and sat down.
Sophie noticed that Olivia seemed out of sorts today, so she asked, “Do you want
to have lunch with me? My parents are hosting a gathering with some influential
people. Let's go check it out.”
Sophie came from a wealthy family in the banking industry, and she was
considered a second- generation rich kid. She attended gatherings that ordinary
students could only dream of being invited

olivia had no interest in such events
But Sophie persisted, shaking her and saying, “Come on, Olivia. 68 with me”
With no other option, Olivia reluctantly agreed, “Okay”
So they went to lunch together at noon.
However, as they arrived at the luxurious hotel, Olivia began to regret her
decision. Unfortunately, Sophie didn’t give her a chance to back out, dragging
Olivia into the elevator
The elevator doors closed before Olivia could react, and she falled to notice the
mysterious smile on
Sophie's face.
Olivia was hesitant as the elevator doors opened. She had never attended such
a gathering before, and anxiety coursed through her. “Forget it, Sophie. I don’t
think I can do this.”
But Sophie forcefully pulled her along and said, “Don’t worry, you'll be fine. Let
me tell you, it's a rare opportunity to meet these powerful tycoons. I'll show you a
surprise.
Before Olivia could object further, Sophie opened a dark wooden door. Olivia
looked up when she
heard the noise.
Inside the room, there was a large round table, a dazzling chandelier hanging
above it, and crystal clear wine glasses adorning the table. The people sitting
around the table were of unknown identity and background, but they looked
stunning.

Jacob was also in a suit, but it seemed ordinary on him. Standing in front of Tyler,
he appeared insignificant.
Clearly, this was a gathering of power and wealth, leaving Olivia in shock.

Olivia barely registered what Sophie was saying. She was fixedly staring at the
two figures before her..
In just a few seconds, Tyler heard the commotion and turned to look. From a
distance, he saw Olivia standing at the door.
He frowned. “Olivia?”
“Olivia!”

Two different voices, belonging to two different men, called her name at the same
time.
