Chapter 407

Watching her son's leaving silhouette, Olivia patted the back of Scarlett's hand and whispered, “Calm down. He'll be yours tonight.”

Scarlett forced an awkward smile. “If you hadn't stood up for me, I would've been walked over by Justin.”

“Oh, don't be silly.” Olivia stroke Scarlett's head before pushing her away. “He's gone upstairs. I need to give the housekeepers some instructions. You wait here on the couch. I'll be back in a while.”

“All right. Go on ahead. I'll leave everything to you.”

Olivia headed straight to the kitchen.

“Tell him that the soup was prepared specifically for him. After all, drinking alcohol on an empty stomach later is bad for health.”

“Yes, Mrs. Xuereb.”
