The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 929

“Hmmph!” Olivia rolled her eyes at Jerry with contempt. “What part of her we can't offend? Oh, you mean the man backing her? This is a Stone family event. I don't think her man has greater power and influence than Mr. Carlos.”

Jerry didn't understand why his usually astute sister wouldn't take his advice.

His grip on her wrist tightened. “Why won't you listen to me, Olivia? Today's event is way too important to mess up. I forbid you to cause trouble for her.”

Olivia leveled a gaze at her rebellious brother. Bitter resentment gleamed in her eyes. “Jerry, I'm your sister! Or has that woman bewitched you to the point that you don't even consider me your sister anymore?”

“The only reason she could come today was an invitation from Amos, and he's not an idiot!” The creases on Jerry's forehead deepened as he was suddenly overwhelmed by the feeling that Olivia was being irrational.

“What does a kid even know? Look at Amos! Did you see how completely bewitched by her he was? His eyes were fixed on her the whole time. He doesn't care about her identity.” Olivia tried to break free from Jerry's grip, but her attempts ended in vain. She began to struggle fiercely. “Jerry, let go of me!

“I'm not letting you go!” Jerry said stubbornly, “I don't want you to humiliate yourself. You're my sister!”

“Hmmph!” Olivia rolled her eyes at Jerry with contempt. “What part of her we can't offend? Oh, you mean the man backing her? This is a Stone family event. I don't think her man has greater power and influence than Mr. Carlos.”
