The Beginning Of All Sins

The charity event was organized by the local government. It was crowded with business people, and the Harrises were the VIP guests.

As soon as Tyler and Olivia walked in, servers who were there just for them came over to greet them. Some friends came over to chat too.

Olivia stayed quiet, following Tyler around while he talked to everyone. He seemed much livelier here than he had been in the car, wearing a faint smile and chatting with people.

The place was also full of journalists. Their cameras flashed a lot as soon as Tyler and Olivia entered, and Olivia found the bright lights too much for her eyes.

Even though she felt overwhelmed, she managed to stay calm. Since she was Mrs. Harris and had been in the news earlier, it was normal for the media to focus on her. They kept taking pictures even when she was inside, and she felt nervous knowing they were still on her.

It wasn't until Tyler finished talking to people that he finally looked at Olivia. He lowered his head to avoid the cameras and said, "Let's go."

Olivia heard him despite the noise and nodded.

Tyler then stopped looking at her and led the way further inside. Olivia followed him. Luckily, journalists weren't allowed past a certain point, so Olivia felt relieved without cameras pointing at her anymore.

They went to their seats, which were in the front row. As Mrs. Harris, she was well taken care of; the servers were very attentive.

Just then, Linda, who was sitting behind them, received a phone call. She came up to Tyler and whispered, "Ms. Naomi is here, sir."Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Olivia heard this because she was right next to Tyler, and she tensed up at the mention of Naomi.

Tyler didn't show any reaction; he seemed to have expected Naomi's arrival. He looked up slightly, and Olivia followed his gaze.

Emma was pushing Naomi in her wheelchair through the entrance, away from the crowd of journalists. Naomi smiled at Tyler and then turned her attention to Olivia, mouthing a greeting with a big, friendly smile.

However, Olivia wasn't happy to see her. She couldn't forgive Naomi for what she had done to her.

Indeed, the more you cared about something, the deeper the pain and grudge were.

Tyler noticed Olivia's cold reaction to Naomi but chose not to do anything. He turned away and told Linda, "Go be with her. There are many people here."

Linda answered, "Sure. The organizer put Ms. Naomi a few rows behind us. She won't draw much attention."

Tyler simply replied with a short nod, and Linda left as he instructed.

While Olivia was still trying to understand why Naomi was there, Tyler explained to her, "She's bored in the hospital, so she asked to come, and I said yes."
