Olivia didn't want to hear a single word of their flattery, and impatience was evident on her face.

Noticing her mood, Ethan sat next to her to shield her from the unnecessary conversation.

That was how humans worked.

When one rose high, people would flock around one; when one became bankrupt, one would lose the friends one thought were close.

Olivia thought that there was no need to form unnecessary relationships. True power came from within oneself.

She watched Krystal, who was just nearby. She was eating, all puffed up just like how she was in the past.

Olivia smiled faintly. "You know, being shameless isn't a bad thing sometimes. What matters is that you achieve your goals."

In comparison, Molly behaved timidly due to the environment she grew up in. She suffered a lot with the Kingston family. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Ethan took a slice of cake for Olivia. "The Kingston family isn't all rainbows and unicorns as Krystal is imagining it to be. It's a lion's den. She'll spend her days crying soon."

After noticing Olivia's gaze, Krystal had the nerve to come up to her.

Feeling proud of herself, Krystal smiled triumphantly. "Look, I'm back because of the baby in my belly. What can you do to me? Yale is powerful, but is he as powerful as his grandfather? I'm born to be a princess."

She then cast a glance at Molly. "I'm not like that bitch. She doesn't look like a princess even if she dresses like one."

Molly was prettier, but she was more of the girl-next-door type. Not even the expensive gown on her could mask her nervousness.

Olivia was different. Jeff raised her to have the image of a rich lady. This was a high-end party, yet she was here with peace of mind.

She took a sip of milk and a bite of cake, the sweetness hitting the roof of her mouth.

A smile adorned Olivia's lips. "One's image has something to do with the environment they grow up in. Changes can be made through practice. But when it comes to looks, family background, and potential, they're all set in stone. It's useless no matter how much you dislike it.

"If I were you, I would've found a good place to stay until I went into labor instead of wandering around with my baby as my defense."

That was an implicit way of calling Krystal ugly. Olivia had the looks to do so. Forget about Krystal, even celebrities paled in comparison to Olivia. Krystal glared at her. "People live to survive. Even if I'm incompetent, I should pave a route for my child. Don't get ahead of yourself too soon, Olivia." "Am I?" Olivia tilted her head at Ethan. "I was stating the facts, though, wasn't I?"

The way she tilted her head was adorable to him, so he caressed her head. "Reality is something hard to accept, so people tend to get angry."

Olivia chuckled. "Right. The lady who was supposed to be a princess turned out to be a maid's daughter. She was born ordinary. Now that the packaging is gone, how could she stomach it? If I were her, I would've found a place to hide myself, not embarrass myself in public."

The couple didn't say much, but it hurt Krystal all the same.

Fury had Krystal's features contorted.

Olivia continued, "Anger is bad for your health. Don't let it take a toll on your baby. This is your only bargaining chip. If you lose the baby, what are you supposed to do? Will the Kingston family send you to prison?"
