Chapter 78: Bait
Chapter 78: Bait
The painting was excellent! It showed a beautiful scenery of the skies, mountains and rivers.
Maggie was stunned.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that the painting was actually made by Olivia! In other words, the few paintings that fell into Paul's hands earlier were also paintings that were made by her.
‘‘Then why didn't she stand up and admit it?’’ Maggie was suspicious.
Thinking thoroughly, she thought that there was only one possibility: Olivia should know that she had been suspended from school and missed Paul's primary selection, so she had already been expelled from the list.
Losing her qualifications, she could only use this method to attract Paul's attention.
It was a good plan.
Maggie hid outside the door, feeling a little jealous and annoyed.
Olivia hid it too deeply.
Even though Maggie saw her paint once, she didn't know that she still had her talent and ability.
‘‘If Paul would really knew that the paintings that he valued and had given him great expectations weren't mine..” Maggie trembled.
She didn't dare to think about the consequences.
That was why she would never allow such a thing to happen! Thinking of this, Maggie's eyes were filled with schemes.
At this moment, Olivia stood up from her chair.
She stretched lazily and then answered the phone.
"Alright, alright, I'll be right there."
It was Ashley asking her to eat with her for lunch.
Olivia took the bag and left.
After she left, Maggie hid from the innermost corner.
Olivia was in a hurry and didn't lock the room! Maggie secretly rejoiced in her heart and quietly sneaked into her room.
She carefully stole the landscape painting that had just been completed.
However, Olivia didn't go to eat with Ashley.
She went straight to the basketball court and quickly slipped out of the school.
Averie was waiting there in her car.
Olivia got into the vehicle and changed her clothes in a good mood and delicate manner.
Olivia who acquired the herb hut took just a short time to turn herself into a lovely girl.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, Averie teased.
"What interesting event that just happened?"
Olivia said, "It's not that interesting.I just lured a fish with my bait’’
This fish she was talking about was obviously Maggie who had been caught in Olivia's trap.
Averie had been used to it.
Olivia had always been smart.
As long as she didn't follow her emotions and fall in love, her cleverness was out of this world.
After spending a long period of time together, Averie could also feel that Olivia really did not have any feelings for Leonard.
Paving the way for Olivia didn't waste Averie’s master's efforts.
The car drove all the way to King's View Bay.
Olivia had promised before that although she would not stay in the villa, she would take some time every day to check on Philip.
She did not dare to forget this matter, even if she would be stopped by someone.
The servants of the villa had obviously received orders as well, so she was able to enter without any obstruction.
As usual, Averie waited downstairs while Olivia went upstairs alone.
Philip's condition was much better than before, and his damaged nerves were slowly recovering.
Olivia was confident that as long as no one would interrupt his treatment, he would be able to wake up after half a month.
Another two hours passed, Olivia took out all the silver needles.
She let out a long sigh of relief and left the room.
When they were about to leave, Bruce had just returned from the outside.
"Bruce!"
Olivia nodded and said politely, "I have checked on Philip and I am going to leave now.Goodbye.’
She did not intend to stay, nor did Bruce force her to stay.
He just nodded and said, "Alright"
They had met personally.
She was polite and always kept a distance between them.
‘‘It's just…”
When they met, Bruce picked up on the scent of her perfume.
It wasn't some kind of scent.
It smelled nice.
That is something, at least.
Bruce stopped for a moment.
Turning around, Olivia and Averie got into the car and left.
Looking at her slender figure, he could vaguely see that Olivia was kind of the ideal woman in his mind.
Bruce seemed to be deep in thought, and imagined her profoundly.
Olivia returned to school.
She changed clothes in the car and cleaned her face.
After returning, it was already close to noon.
While eating in the restaurant, Ashley brought the news she had heard all morning to Olivia-
"Olivia, it's exactly the same as what you said.Maggie really stole your painting.She has already handed it over to Paul.He is very happy to see it.He praises her for her excellent painting skills, and being passionate about it!"
At that point, Ashley was disgusted.
"Hmph, look at how terrifying she is.She claims that her power is beyond what people expect from her, when in fact she was just stealing what's yours!"
Olivia smiled and slowly ate her meal.
There was not a slightest trace of anger on her face when she heard someone was stealing her name.
"When are we going to expose her?" Ashley asked eagerly.
"Finish your meal."
As soon as Olivia said that, Ashley was immediately excited.
Originally, she didn't like to eat, but now she quickly finished her meal.
She had the imposing aura that she was going to fight with someone after eating.
Olivia chuckled.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"What's the hurry?"
After eating and drinking enough, Olivia took Ashley to the studio.
Classes are taking place in the studio.
Because Olivia had been expelled and Ashley hadn't been selected at all, they weren't qualified to attend the class personally instructed by Paul.
Sure enough, just as Olivia had appeared, a girl sitting near the door rolled her eyes at them with a sneer and uttered a fraud tone to drive them away.
"You have nothing to do with this event.Hurry up and leave! Don't interfere with us here!"
The studio was originally quiet, but her voice sounded really loud.
Paul turned around and saw the two girls standing at the door of the studio.
Their eyes were looking inside with admiration.
Paul had always been tolerant and appreciative of the students who loved to study, so he wanted to call them in to listen.
As a result, when Maggie saw Olivia, her heart skipped a beat.
She gritted her teeth, but she stood up with a smile on her face and explained in a considerate tone.
"Teacher, why did you let these two students in to study as well? They surely regret missing the selection’’ Mentioning this, Paul's expression instantly sank.
Certainly, he admired students who like to study, but he also hated students who are absent for various reasons.
In Paul's thoughts, ‘'When the opportunity was placed in front of you, and you didn't cherish it, don't even think about it afterwards.You won't have that chance again!’’
