NovelAppChapter 923 Behaving Ridiculously
Despicable woman?
The words sounded jarring in Jerry’s ear.
If based on his first impression of Natalie at the birthday banquet, Jerry would also have doubted the
latter’s character. But after she saved his life twice, he was certain that Natalie wasn’t the person Olivia
had described.
“I don’t!” For the first time ever, Jerry refuted his sister’s words. “Olivia, you don’t know her at all!”
“She’s just luring you into a trap by being nice to you.” Olivia couldn’t contain her anger. “Jerry, you’re
being too naive to think that you have seen her for who she is.”
“I’m already an adult!”
“But does it mean that you’ve matured?” Olivia retorted.

Stumped, Jerry felt that there was no way he could get through to Olivia. As long as he praised Natalie,
even if it was the truth, Olivia would definitely accuse him of being bewitched.
“I’m tired. I’m going back to rest.”
“Jerry, how can you leave when we’re not done here?” Olivia yelled exasperatedly at his silhouette.
Despite having heard her, he didn’t bother to turn around.
With her ankles swollen, pursuing Jerry was futile. All she was left with was a deeper sense of hatred
and jealousy for Natalie.
Cured his asthma? That’s impossible! Dad, Mom, and I had hired plenty of famous doctors to do the
same, but none have succeeded until now. Thus, how could he have been cured by a lady in her
twenties? She must have taken advantage of his good nature to convince him. Ever since Jerry was
young, he has never disobeyed me. But now, he’s arguing with me over an unimportant woman? It’s
clear that she has many tricks up her sleeve. After stealing my fiancé in the morning, she steals my
brother in the afternoon. Nothing seems to be able to satisfy her.
With blood pumping into her heart, Olivia dug her nails into the table and vowed in her mind. How dare
she tries to steal those closest to me? I will make sure that she falls into the depths of Hell and that her
reputation is left in tatters.
Nonetheless, Natalie wasn’t Olivia’s biggest worry.
It was instead Farrington Jewelry’s latest financial condition.
All this while, Farrington Jewelry’s brand was well established in Loang and was considered the top
jeweler in the industry. However, it had begun to lose its luster in recent years due to the mushrooming
of smaller mass market brands. As an older institution, it failed to attract the attention of the younger
crowd, leading to a significant drop in its revenue.
In truth, she had nothing to do with the trend.
It was just that the decline started at the same time she joined the company. Consequently, everyone
inside and outside the industry conjectured that she was one of the reasons for Farrington Jewelry’s
decline.

Therefore, having resolved to prove herself to her parents and the board, she had to demonstrate a
meaningful turnaround in the company’s financial situation.
Even though she had tried plenty of methods over the last two years to do so, none of them bore any
fruit.
Since she was out of ideas, collaborating with Muse was the best option she was left with.
If she managed to engage the mysterious Muse to design next season’s jewelry, she was confident that
the products would be a hit, capable of bringing back the younger crowd who wielded the highest
purchasing power.
The next day after her decision was made, Olivia, suffering through the pain, hobbled on her crutches
up to Anna’s door.
The last time she had invited Anna to join her was a few years ago. Consequently, Olivia felt that she
had demonstrated enough sincerity by personally paying the latter a visit.
When the doorbell rang, Anna came out to get the door.
Thinking that it was Natalie, she called out without hesitation, “Natalie—”
However, when she saw who it really was, the smile on her face froze before she asked in surprise,
“Ms. Jones? What are you doing here?”
