Chapter 227
Athene first met Olivia eight years ago, when she went to Hushen with her grandfather at the age of 12.
On the way, her grandfather had a very severe illness and could not even move. It was so serious that they did not have time to return home for
treatment.
Back then, someone recommended Isaac to her grandfather.
In the past, Athene had looked down on alternative medicine and felt that they were just lies, similar to magic.
Unexpectedly, the alternative medicine that she looked down on actually cured her grandfather.
This was the first time she had seen the wonders of alternative medicine. There was no need for surgery. It it took was a few needles, and her grandfather was magically cured.
At that time, Athene had always been by her grandfather’s side.
She knew very well.
Although on the surface, it was Isaac, the miracle doctor, who cured her grandfather, the person who actually performed the acupuncture was the girl who was only four years older than her. Isaac was only supporting that girl from the side.
That was exactly when Athene was completely dumbfounded!
She looked at the girl’s hand in fascination.
What a miraculous pair of hands. Those hands could actually treat an old man who was in critical condition in an instant.
Later, after her grandfather recovered from his illness, she was the one who chose the hairpin that was auctioned at Sotheby’s London.
Athene felt that there was no one in the world more suitable for this hairpin than Olivia.
After returning to Gorshire, Athene tried to visit Olivia in Hushen several times but was always stopped mercilessly by her grandfather.
Later, she wanted to call Olivia and invite her to come to Gorshire as a guest, but she learned from Isaac that Olivia had found her biological parents and might not have time to go abroad for a while.

Athene was not disappointed. Instead, she was sincerely happy for Olivia. She knew Olivia too well. She knew how much Olivia wanted and valued her family.
Therefore, Athene immediately searched for information about the Taylor family online. She learned everything about the Taylor family and got to know David.
After meeting David at school and learning that he had come to Gorshire as an exchange student, Athene was overjoyed and used her greatest enthusiasm to familiarize him with everything here.
She wondered. If she treated Olivia’s younger brother well, would Olivia like her more?
On the day of the banquet, because Daniel had something to discuss with Duke Devonstern, he had to go early.
“You’re going there early?” Mia squeezed the armrest of the sofa
nervously. “What about us?”
For the past few days, Mia had not been resting well, all because she was worried that something would go wrong during the banquet.
Initially, since she was supposed to go together with Daniel, she felt a slight sense of security.
Now, Daniel was actually going there early!
Mia was dumbfounded and panic–stricken.
Daniel leaned against the sofa with his eyebrows lowered. His posture was lazy, and his expression was a little nonchalant. His gaze would only brighten when it landed on Olivia.
Hearing Mia’s words, he hummed softly and said calmly, “Mia, you can come with me, or you can wait until the banquet starts.”
Mia heaved a sigh of relief.
She decided to go with Daniel. That way, she would feel more secure.
Mia, who was more or less relieved, turned to Olivia. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Olivia look up and say casually, “I’ll go over later.”
Olivia did not like banquets and cocktail parties, but she did not really hate them either.
However, she would occasionally feel that it was better to sit down quietly and read a book instead of wasting her time on those things.
Moreover, if she went there early, she would have to stay in the Duke’s

Mansion for almost the entire day.
Of course, one would always be a little uncomfortable and not so at ease. Sitting on the sofa, Mia’s heart was already mostly at ease, but when she heard Olivia’s words, she immediately became apprehensive again.
She did not expect Olivia to say that she wanted to go later.
Mia’s heart tightened. She was puzzled and suggested in a soft voice, “Olivia, let’s go with Daniel.”
Olivia shook her head. Her expression was calm but firm.
Mia did not know what to do.
She could not understand why Olivia did not want to go with Daniel. “Why?” She asked. She felt that going alone would be so awkward. After all, they did not know anyone there.
Was Olivia worried that she would disturb Daniel’s discussion?
Or was she afraid that there would be no place for her to do her styling? After Mia thought of a few reasons, she suddenly felt that it made sense to go later.
Olivia said, “I promised Jojo that I would take it for a walk in the afternoon.”
Jojo was a pitch–black pony with snow–white hooves.
Just because of this reason?
Mia was stunned. After a while, she said, “You can take Jojo for a walk anytime, but if you go to the banquet alone, it would be so awkward. You don’t know anyone there, no one will introduce you to them, so they won’t even get to know you. How awkward would that be?”
“Awkward! Why?” Olivia asked.
She sat on the sofa with her back straight and looked at Mia seriously.
After looking at her for two seconds, Olivia suddenly understood.
She smiled and said gently, “If you want to get to know them, take the initiative to introduce yourself. If they want to get to know you, they will naturally come to you. What’s there to be awkward about?”
Olivia suddenly raised her hand and touched Mia’s forehead with her fingertips. Her voice was gentle and pleasant. “Only you can give yourself a sense of security. No one else can. You are Daniel’s sister and the CEO of the Sullivan Group’s Gorshire branch company.
