ut that was fine. They were going to be married soon anyway. They
any had a lot of time ahead of them
Soon, the weekend came.
Olivia wasn’t expecting to meet Lucas‘ mother, Katen Steele, but Karen approached her first
Karen, dressed elegantly, was in a café. The gemstone necklace she was wearing was costly. Her every move gave off the air of a noblewoman
olivia was not surprised by these.
The Tarden family couldn’t be compared to the wealthiest families in Clento, but they were already at a level the average Joe couldn’t reach.
Keren’s manicure probably cost half a month of Olivia’s salary.
A difference in social class like this one was exactly what Olivia was
That being said, this was something she was prepared to face.

Dina went up to Karen and greeted, “Sorry I’m late, Mrs. Zarden.”
karen smiled, not revealing a single hint of displeasure on that youthful face of hers, instead, she responded relaxedy, “No worries, I came early. I wasn’t sure what you liked, so I just ordered a long black for you.
“Thank you, Mrs. Zarden,” Olivia responded with a pleasant smile on her face.
She did not look like she was uncomfortable in any way-
Even though she had a gentle personality, she was a strong woman on the inside
This was perhaps a result of her years of experience being on stage. She was used to facing an audience and would not get stage fright.
Karen took a quick glance at her in surprise. Then, she took a sip of her coffee nonchalantly.
“Ms. Levington, you’re quite different from what I imagined you to be. Lucas often mentioned you to me, telling me about how wonderful you are in every way
“Now that I’ve met you in person, I feel like he didn’t actually exaggerate.”
Hearing such a straightforward compliment filled Olivia with astonishment.
A polite smile spread across her face. “You’re too kind.”
However, Katen then said, “I heard from Lucas that your parents passed away in a traffic accident, and you were then adopted by your uncle’s family. Is that so
Olivia was surprised
Karen sighed. “You poor thing, losing both your parents at such a young age. It must have been difficult having to live under someone else’s cool.
“Ms. Levington, all men would pity you if they saw what you looked like and heard about what happened to you. You should know that sometimes, men would mistake this feeling of pity and sympathy as love.”
Olivia’s mood fell. Even so, she maintained the smile on her face as she said, “I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.”
You once learned ballet, didn’t you?” Karen asked while looking straight at her. “Did Lucas ever tell you that used to be a ballerina too?

Right at this moment. Wilden’s phone rang He knitted his hows together.

Nevertheless, what surprised them was that Wilden actually answered the phone after taking a quick look at it.
At the very least, to those in the room, Wilden looked like a completely different person than he was earlier.
A crisp voice —a woman’s voice—rang from the other end of the call.
Schemet, there are some things about the interview that I can’t figure out. I thought of getting some clarification from you. I’m downstairs. Might you be free at the moment?”

They looked at one another in utter shock,
Did Wilden geta pirinend?
Not long after hanging up the call, Olivia spotted stepping out of the elevator. She was then led to the top–most floor where Wilden’s office was
The spacious office had a clasic and minimalist design
The most eye–catching feature in the room was the floor–to–ceiling windows. Just the right amount of sunlight was being let in through the glass made of special material.
Fight outside an outdoor somming pool that overlooked all of Clento Looking down from a height like this gave one a feeling as if they were looking down on all that was beneath them
When Olivia arrived, Wilden was sitting at his desk, typing on his laptop
She did not want to get in his way, so she walked over to the nearby leather couch and sat down.
It hadn’t been long since she last saw this couch in Vogue magazine.
The couch was a limited–edition luxury brand couch designed by a famous designer. Its price was as high as ten million dollars. According to what she heard, a tyroon purchased it a month
She did not expect to see this couch here.
Seated his desk, Wilden looked up and took a quick look at her. In a cold voice, he asked, “What questions did you have?”
Olivia straightened her back instinctively. “You mentioned angel investing and financial leverage during your interview. I didn’t quite understand the latter.”
“The principle of financial leverage isn’t that complicated,” Wilden responded while looking at Olivia. “In layman’s terms, it is using loans on real estate investments. In simpler terms, it is using funds from others to make a proti
real estate in an endless manner. In the very beginning, some investors will face a

financial institutions. In order to see their funds, financial institutions will consider whether their clients have the ability to repay their monthly installments. Wilden explained patiently.
