Olivia had been in the hospital for days, and not being able to contact Lucas made. her anxious.
That day, as soon as her wound was less painful, she decided to be discharged and go look for him.
She knew Lucas. A prolonged lack of contact would only harden his heart.
She did not dare go to the Wright family’s residence. Both Emmanuel and Margot had strong objections to her, and their encounters would inevitably be filled with thinly veiled sarcasm.
Moreover, with Margot present, she was unsure if Lucas would still be so easy to
appease.
After much thought, she decided to go to the Wright family’s company to find. Lucas.
The receptionist knew Olivia, who used to frequently visit Lucas. It was said that she was the Wright family’s prospective daughter–in–law.
Meeting almost no resistance, Olivia reached the executive floor.
The Wright Group was not doing well recently, having undergone several rounds. of layoffs. Everyone was feeling insecure. Even the secretaries in the CEO’s office. were not as diligent.
As a result, Olivia, an outsider, was able to smoothly push open the CEO’s office door directly.
On the sofa chair behind the desk, a woman was passionately kissing a disheveled man, straddling him.
Upon seeing the scene, Olivia’s pupils constricted, and she exclaimed in disbelief, “Lucas?”
The two, startled, quickly separated. The alluring woman, dressed in a professional suit, stood up, fumbling to button her clothes.

The man, who finally showed his face with a lipstick mark on it, calmly wiped hist face after seeing who entered. Then he looked with interest at Olivia, who was
shocked.
“Miss Sutton, do you have a peculiar habit of watching people being intimate?”
Olivia couldn’t describe her feelings.
She didn’t even know if it was better that Lucas was fooling around with a woman in the office in broad daylight, or if it was more shocking to discover it wasn’t him but that the CEO of the Wright Group had changed.
The woman who was caught left when Wyatt waved. Olivia paused, then still walked into the office.
Wyatt stood up, poured a glass of water, and suggestively approached Olivia, who was flustered on the sofa.
“What? Don’t you know Lucas has left the Wright Group?”
To be precise, Emmanuel, their father, first removed him from the CEO position, and then Wyatt pressured him until he completely lost his footing.
Olivia clenched her fists.
She unexpectedly recalled what Lucas had said at Madeline’s birthday party. Emmanuel intended to hand over the Wright family to Wyatt, his illegitimate son.
Has the situation escalated to this extent?‘ thought Olivia.
“Miss Sutton, as my brother’s former fiancée, you didn’t impulsively seek justice for him. Instead, you bravely sat here and conversed with me. You are indeed a smart person. I like that very much.”
He whispered in her ear, “One is a useless loser, and the other is a family heir with a bright future. Miss Sutton, if you were given a choice, what would you choose?”
Olivia froze.
“What is he implying? thought Olivia.
She covered the wound in her abdomen, her face pale. She leaned back slightly,

However, her delicate, seemingly hesitant yet inviting demeanor, like a precious flower one yearns to pluck. It only made her appear even more vulnerable.
“The Sutton family has good genes; from their daughters, Emilia and Madeline, to their granddaughters, all are natural beauties, thought Wyatt, smiling.
His hand reached over and pinched Olivia’s chin, saying, “What do you say, Olivia? Would you consider being with me? To be a daughter–in–law of the Wright family doesn’t necessarily mean the man has to be Lucas, does it? What I can give you now is far more than he can.”
A hint of gloom and disgust appeared in Olivia’s eyes.
Yet, when Wyatt, smelling of other women, drew close again, she did not pull
away.
Her nails dug into her palms, and she closed her eyes.
However, the imagined kiss never came.
Her chin was suddenly gripped, and she opened her eyes wide in surprise, only to meet Wyatt’s mocking gaze.
His eyes held the smugness of a successful prank, along with a hint of regret. ‘Lucas, so arrogant and a prodigy since childhood, doesn’t have such great taste. does he?‘
He humiliatingly patted her cheek, his tone flat. ‘Miss Sutton, you don’t actually think I’m interested in you, do you? Everyone knows you’re at odds with the future Mrs. Turner. Do you think you’re worth me offending Alexei for?
“Only Lucas is that naive. And the woman he was willing to abandon his childhood. sweetheart to protect? She’s nothing special.
Such a scoundrel, yet he dared to disdain Olivia.
Olivia felt an unprecedented humiliation, raising her hand and swinging it forcefully.

“Don’t rush,” he said, gripping her wrist. “Miss Sutton, you’ve been here so many times. You must know this office has surveillance, right? Tell me, what if I send the video to Lucas to enjoy?”
Olivia’s pupils dilated.
She never expected that a momentary lapse in judgment would lead her into an even deeper trap.
However, she quickly calmed down, suppressing the urge to kill him. “If you want to do this, just do it. Why waste words with me? Tell me, what do you want?”
Wyatt smiled and thought, ‘The woman isn’t as foolish as I thought.
He released her and sat back in his original seat. “It’s nothing. I just want to lend you a hand, Miss Sutton. Do you know Lucas’s mother has been looking for a new fiancée for him?”
Olivia’s mood darkened as she recalled Esther, the young lady she had once seen
at the mall.
Wyatt said, “I don’t want her plan to succeed. It would be better for me if you married Lucas.
“So, Miss Sutton, you need to continue holding onto Lucas. Once it is accomplished, when you marry into the Wright family, I can personally give you a valuable wedding gift. I assume you won’t refuse this cooperation, right?”
Olivia refused to give up on Lucas, primarily because she had invested too much in him. Furthermore, with her career ruined and her home gone, she was unwilling to exit high society.
However, with the people in Andphis City now aware of the conflict between her and Natasha, even the most lovestruck man would be ordered by his family to stay away from her.
The scattering of her former suitors was the best proof.
Unless she became a mistress, she could not hope to marry anyone with at
