Chapter 373
Becky and Olivia didn’t have much to talk about.
Becky had been a noblewoman for many years. She had lived a rich life and talked about luxurious clothes, jewelry, and other topics. She also had interests like arranging flowers, making coffee, and making dessert.
Olivia was not interested in these topics.
It was not that she could not chat with others, but with her current status, longer needed to force herself to cater to others.
she no
It had always been others who found topics to attract her interest, not her racking her brains to think of ways to arouse the interest of others.
After chatting for a while, it was really not interesting. Becky was afraid that Olivia would be bored, so she suggested playing cards.
The cards were the most suitable tool for rich women to socialize. They could chat, play, and even make the surrounding people interested in watching.
Olivia’s attitude towards playing cards was ordinary. Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, she nodded.
Becky immediately asked the servants to bring two card tables. She even smiled. and said to everyone, “You guys come and play too.”
Everyone smiled and expressed that they didn’t like to play. They just wanted to watch from the side.
Today, this card game was originally set up because of Olivia. Becky did not pay much attention to others, so it was fine if they did not like to play.
“Today, the person sitting in this seat will be very lucky. Miss Taylor, you can sit in this seat. I guarantee that your luck will be good,” Daisy said with a smile. Then, she pulled Cherry over and gently pushed Cherry. “Cherry, later, you sit behind Miss Taylor and help her. You are lucky too.”
Becky chuckled and pointed at Daisy. “You’re so biased. You only care about Ms. Taylor. Don’t you care about us?”
Daisy had a good relationship with Becky and usually liked to joke, so she said, “I’m just biased. Miss Taylor is a person who has contributed to the country and all mankind. She deserves it.”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone laughed.
There were four people at the card table. Olivia sat on one side. Becky sat next to her so that she could help Olivia to win. Bettany sat opposite Olivia. There was only one seat left. It was Ethel, who was good at playing cards.
The four of them had just sat down when Olivia received a call.
It was Capitol Research Institute’s Bard.

Olivia frowned slightly. “I’m sorry, I have to answer a call. You guys play first.” As she spoke, she stood up and left. She went to the next private room to answer the call.
“What’s the matter?” Olivia sat down in the private room and asked.
Bard said, “Miss Olivia, Professor Corey has gone to Evervale.”
“Why did he come to Evervale?” Olivia was a little puzzled. “Isn’t he the person in charge of graphene’s preparation project? Why
did he come to Evervale? Has he found a partner company?”
“It’s precisely because he’s the person in charge of the project that he went to Evervale.” Bard frowned. His expression was not good. “The Grant family is getting more and more outrageous. They actually used their power to threaten Professor Corey to hand the project to the Holmes family. In the research institute, Jeremy is also secretly pressuring him. Jeremy said that if Professor Corey doesn’t agree, the project funds approved next year will be reduced by half.” What? Reduced by half?
Olivia raised her eyebrows. Her gaze was dark and unclear. “He sure talks big.” Upon hearing this, Bard knew that Olivia was dissatisfied with Jeremy.
He had been working for Olivia for so long and was Olivia’s confidant. Although he had been in the Capitol and did not follow Olivia, he still knew a little about Olivia.
He knew that there seemed to be some conflict between Olivia and the Watson family.
However, Olivia had always been fair and rarely put personal feelings into her work, so she would not make trouble for Jeremy deliberately.
As long as Jeremy was serious and did not cause trouble to affect the research institute, Olivia would always let him work in the research institute.
“Miss Olivia, you mean…” Bard said.
Olivia was already dissatisfied with Jeremy. She should have given Jeremy a warning or do something.
Bard was mentally prepared for this.
Unexpectedly, Olivia opened her mouth to say, she wanted to remove Jeremy as the deputy director.
