I Became His Sweetheart by Bright Eyes

Chapter 286 Settling Scores

Mrs. Hans smiled happily when she heard what Olivia said. “My daughter has matured.”

“Of course I have, especially after going through so much,” Olivia said smugly as she twirled a lock of hair around her finger. “I even found out that Mr. York has been a germaphobe since he was a child, and is a clean freak! A woman like Melanie, with a lawsuit on her hands, is definitely someone so filthy to him that he wouldn’t even glance her way! He’ll find her dirty!”

Mrs. Hans’s eyes narrowed. “In that case, I need to pay a little more to cover up your records.”

The mention of her being jailed overseas made Olivia grit her teeth in anger and shame.

“It’s all Melanie’s fault! She’s always the reason why I get humiliated! Mom, don’t you worry. This time. I’m fully prepared to settle all scores with her once and for all!”

“We’ll wait for your good news, then,” Mrs. Hans said, feeling assured with her daughter at the helm of things.

Mr. Smith heard her voice and turned back, the sharp look in his eyes turning gentle upon noticing her. “What brings you here?”

“I’m here to attend the banquet. What about you?” Melanie asked.

“I’m staying upstairs,” Mr. Smith said as he pointed to the guest room upstairs in the hotel.

“I heard the results of that photography competition you participated in will be out soon?” Melanie asked with

concern.

“Yes. I’m very confident about the photos I took of Mr. Lindsey and you,” Mr. Smith said with a smile. “I’ll treat you to a meal when I receive the good news.”

He looked around, his eyes flashing.

“I have something to attend to and need to run, I’ll call you.”
