The fragrant aroma of tea filled the living room of the Hadley residence.

Julia was not the only one there, though. Christina had also heard the sweet voice of a young woman when she came in.
“Is there something you wanted to see me about, Mrs Hadley?” Christina asked calmly and confidently.
The woman sitting on the couch was in her early twenties and looked full of energy.
Olivia Stone leaned closer toward Julia and asked curiously, “Why isn’t she addressing you as ‘Mom,'” Aunt Julia?”
Married women would usually address their in-laws as “Mum” and “Dad.” The fact that she doesn’t do so means Aunt Julia doesn’t even see her as a daughter-in-law. That’s probably why Aunt Julia refuses to let her address her as “Mom.”
Instead of answering the question, Julia simply let out a soft chuckle and shifted her gaze toward Christina. “Take a seat,” she said in a commanding tone, which reflected her high social status.
Christina knew it would take a lot more than a few favors to change Julia’s mindset, so she didn’t mind it one bit.
In fact, she could clearly feel that Julia was slowly warming up to her.
Olivia flashed Christina a sweet smile and handed her a cup of tea. “You must be Christina, right? I’m Nathaniel’s cousin. My name is Olivia Stone!”
Those who are suddenly nice to you usually want something from you. This woman’s smile looks kind of fake. It’s almost as though she’s smiling simply because she has to. Hmm… Now that I take a closer look at her face, she looks kind of familiar… Have I seen her picture in some entertainment news article before?
With that in mind, Christina pursed her lips and said, “Thanks.”
“I hear you’re a designer. Is that true?” Olivia asked.
“Yes, you’re right,” Christina replied.
She had yet to touch the cup of tea that Olivia handed her.
Olivia did her research on Christina before coming over that day.
Christina had risen to fame as a designer within the entertainment industry, and countless people have flocked over to Radiant Corporation to have her design dresses for them.
